• Jorge Soler (shoulder) out Tuesday vs. Rockies
    Jorge Soler (shoulder) remains absent from the lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Rockies.

    Advice: It’s a tough break for fantasy managers as Soler will wind up missing an extremely favorable matchup against Rockies righty Dakota Hudson at Coors Field. The 32-year-old righty has been out since last weekend due to right shoulder soreness. He remains day-to-day for now. It’s possible he’ll be available off the bench, but that remains to be seen. It’ll be Wilmer Flores at designated hitter in his absence. Rotoworld 2 minutes ago

  • Seiya Suzuki (oblique) starting rehab assignment
    Seiya Suzuki (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters Suzuki is likely to return to Chicago’s lineup later this week on either Friday or Saturday when they take on the Pirates. The 29-year-old corner outfielder has been sidelined since mid-April due to a right oblique strain, which was expected to keep him on the shelf for at least one month. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago

  • Coming off bench
    Merrill is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Cubs.

    Advice: After making six straight starts, Merrill will get a breather Tuesday. Instead, Jose Azocar will draw the start in center field. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
     
  • Out again Tuesday
    Bader is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in St. Louis.

    Advice: It's the second straight day Bader has been out of the lineup, although he did contribute a pinch-hit double Monday (before being thrown out on the bases). Brandon Nimmo is in center field and DJ Stewart will occupy left. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
     
  • Luis Rengifo (illness) not in lineup again Tuesday
    Luis Rengifo (illness) remains absent from the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Rengifo remains out of the lineup for the fourth consecutive contest due to illness. The versatile 27-year-old remains day-to-day for the moment. It’ll be Brandon Drury at the keystone and Cole Tucker at the hot corner once again on Tuesday night. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago

  • Alek Thomas to undergo MRI on left hamstring
    Alek Thomas will undergo an MRI after experiencing renewed left hamstring discomfort.

    Advice: Thomas hasn’t felt right since Sunday’s rehab game with Triple-A Reno and will undergo some additional testing to determine the extent of the issue. The 24-year-old outfielder has been on the shelf since early April recovering from a left hamstring strain. There should be an update on his status at some point later this week, if not sooner.

  • Wenceel Pérez returns to lineup Tuesday vs. Guards
    Wenceel Pérez (illness) has returned to the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Guardians.

    Advice: Pérez is back in center field and batting second for Tuesday’s contest at Progressive Field following a two-game absence due to illness. The 24-year-old has gotten off to an encouraging start in his big-league debut, batting .296 with three homers and two steals in 19 games since being called up back in early April.

  • Taking batting practice
    Thomas (knee) will take full batting practice on the field Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: It will be his first time doing so since he went down with a left MCL sprain in his knee two weeks ago. Thomas will need to do some running and other drills before being cleared for a rehab assignment, but he seems to be making nice progress. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago

  • Mark Canha out Tuesday due to illness
    Mark Canha is absent from Tuesday’s lineup due to illness.

    Advice: Canha is apparently under the weather and will sit out Tuesday’s showdown against the Guardians. It’ll be Riley Greene taking over in left field and Ryan Vilade drawing a start in right field for his season debut. Rotoworld 51 minutes ago
