  • Tyler Stephenson (wrist) misses third straight game
    Tyler Stephenson (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Padres.

    Advice: Stephenson will miss his third straight contest due to an ongoing wrist issue. He’s presumably day-to-day until further notice. It’ll be Luke Maile handling the catching duties on Tuesday evening. Rotoworld Today, 3:00 pm
     
  • Salvador Perez returns to lineup Tuesday
    Salvador Perez (back) returned to the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Perez is back handling the catching duties on Tuesday night in Toronto after being scratched from Monday’s series opener due to back tightness. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern moving forward. Rotoworld Today, 2:46 pm
     
  • Back in action Tuesday
    Perez (back) is starting at first base and batting cleanup Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Perez was scratched from Monday's starting nine due to back tightness, but he made an appearance off the bench and is back in the lineup a day later. The 33-year-old has enjoyed a strong start to 2024 with seven homers, 26 RBI and a .346/.404/.596 slash line through 29 games. Rotowire.com Today, 1:36 pm
     
  • Not starting Tuesday
    Wong is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: Wong started the previous three games but will sit Tuesday after a team day off Monday, affording him two straight days of rest. Reese McGuire is working behind the plate and batting eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 12:59 pm
     
  • On bench Tuesday
    Lee is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: After making back-to-back starts behind the dish, Lee will be spelled by Martin Maldonado for the second game of the series. In his last five games, Lee is 4-for-14 (.286) with a solo home run and a stolen base. Rotowire.com Today, 12:39 pm

  • Not starting Tuesday
    Jansen is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Kansas City.

    Advice: Alejandro Kirk will start behind the dish Tuesday as the pair continue to split catching work nearly 50/50. Jansen went 1-for-3 with a homer during Monday's series opener. Rotowire.com Today, 12:33 pm
     
  • Productive in win
    Langeliers went 1-for-2 with an RBI sacrifice fly, a double and a walk in a win over the Pirates on Monday.

    Advice: The struggling backstop experienced a rare taste of offensive success in Oakland's fourth win in the last five games. Langeliers is still sitting on a forgettable .172 average and .227 on-base percentage across 97 plate appearances. However, eight of his 15 hits have gone for extra bases and he has an acceptable 21.6 percent strikeout rate, offering some support for the notion that he'll be due for a turnaround once his atypically low .143 BABIP sees a boost.

  • Starting Game 1
    Kelly (ribs) is starting behind the plate and batting eighth in Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader versus St. Louis.

    Advice: Kelly has been dealing with soreness in his left ribcage recently but will start Game 1 of Tuesday's twin bill, which is his first start since April 23. Jake Rogers should be behind the plate in the nightcap. Rotowire.com Today, 9:34 am
