  • On bench versus lefty
    Bailey is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Cubs.

    Advice: Bailey will take a seat as the team faces off with left-hander Justin Steele on the mound for Chicago. Curt Casali will take over at catcher and bat ninth Tuesday. Bailey is in a platoon behind the plate with Casali, typically handling the starts versus right-handers while Casali enters the lineup versus southpaws. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
     
  • Resting versus LHP
    Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Tuesday against the Rockies.

    Advice: Colorado will send left-hander Austin Gomber to the mound Tuesday, so the lefty-hitting Lux will sit down to begin the game. Chris Taylor will fill in at the keystone and bat ninth. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago

  • Idle against southpaw
    Conforto is not in the starting lineup Tuesday versus the Cubs.

    Advice: Conforto will head to the bench as the Giants square off with southpaw Justin Steele. Austin Slater will take over in left field and bat leadoff against Chicago. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
     
  • Outrighted to Las Vegas
    The Athletics outrighted Brown to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

    Advice: Brown has started nearly every game for the A's this season, but he will be jettisoned off the 40-man roster and back to Triple-A after putting up just a .557 OPS through 195 plate appearances. The 31-year-old outfielder will remain within the organization, but his bat will presumably need to come alive in the minors for him to have any chance at returning to Oakland later this year. Lawrence Butler was recalled from Las Vegas in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago

  • Twins put Alex Kirilloff on 10-day IL with back issue
    Twins recalled 1B/OF Alex Kirilloff from Triple-A St. Paul; placed him on the 10-day injured list with a back injury.

    Advice: The exact nature of the injury is unclear at the moment, but Kirilloff’s recent demotion to Triple-A St. Paul has been rescinded and he’ll head to the injured list instead. The 26-year-old has struggled this season and it’s fair to speculate whether he still fits into Minnesota’s long-term plans anymore. Rotoworld 29 minutes ago

  • Will require rehab assignment
    Rodgers (hamstring) will be going on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque prior to being activated from the 10-day injured list, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

    Advice: After some speculation on if it was needed or not, Rodgers said Tuesday that he will require a rehab assignment after all. The 27-year-old has been on the injured list since June 8 while recovering from a left hamstring strain and he'll likely play in multiple contests with Albuquerque prior to being activated. With Rodgers on the cusp of returning, Adael Amador seems like a potential candidate to be sent down in the coming days. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago

  • Cubs bring back Miles Mastrobuoni on Tuesday
    Cubs recalled INF/OF Miles Mastrobuoni from Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Mastrobuoni gets the call to replace an injured Mike Tauchman (groin) on Chicago’s active roster ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Giants. The 28-year-old offers plenty of defensive versatility, but has been a non-factor at the dish for several years at this juncture. He can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.

  • Mike Tauchman hits IL with Grade 2 groin strain
    Cubs placed OF Mike Tauchman on the 10-day injured list with a left groin strain.

    Advice: Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters Tauchman has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 left groin strain and is expected to miss at least one month. The 33-year-old was lifted from Monday’s game against the Giants with left groin tightness. His absence should open up regular at-bats for top prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong moving forward.

  • Selected to majors
    The Athletics selected Nevin's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

    Advice: Nevin has slashed .296/.365/.667 at Triple-A since being DFA'd toward the end of May, and his resurgence in the minors has now allowed him to reclaim a spot on the A's. The 27-year-old has experience at the corner infield and corner outfield positions, and his versatility could allow him to start on a somewhat regular basis. J.D. Davis was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
