    • Struggles in return from IL
      Polanco (hamstring), reinstated from the injured list earlier in the day, went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in a loss to the Rays on Monday.

      Advice: Polanco finished up his rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma by belting three home runs and compiling six RBI over his final two games, but that prodigious bat was nowhere to be found in his return to the big leagues Monday. The veteran disappointingly reverted to the struggles that have defined most of his season, and following Monday's trio of punchouts, Polanco now sports a career-worst 31.9 percent strikeout rate.

    • Goes on injured list
      Atlanta placed Anderson on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a bacterial infection.

      Advice: Anderson probably doesn't need a full 10 days to recover, but the club decided to deactivate him rather than continuing to play a man short. Luke Williams was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett and will replace Anderson on the 26-man active roster. Rotowire.com Today, 9:17 am

    • Braves place Anderson on IL with bacterial infection
      Braves placed INF Brian Anderson on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 22, with a bacterial infection.

      Advice: Anderson was not with Atlanta Monday while dealing with the lower-body infection, and he’ll now be out for at least a week while recovering. The 31-year-old is replaced on the roster by Luke Williams, with Williams being recalled from Triple-A in the corresponding transaction. Rotoworld Today, 9:11 am

    • Dealing with bacterial infection
      Anderson is not with the team due to a lower-body bacterial infection, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

      Advice: Anderson hasn't been with Atlanta on the team's current road trip, and it sounds as though he'll remain out for at least a few more days. "So, he hasn't been with us the whole way, but we're just hoping that at some point, we get him back," said manager Brian Snitker. Anderson remains on the active roster, which means Atlanta is playing down a man. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:50 pm

    • Brian Anderson out with bacterial infection
      Brian Anderson wasn’t with the Braves for Monday’s game because of a lower body bacterial infection.

      Advice: Anderson hasn’t had an at-bat since June 12, but until tonight, we imagine, that was simply because Brian Snitker hates using his bench players. If Anderson needs to go on the IL, the Braves figure to call up either Luke Williams or J.P. Martinez. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:12 pm

    • Tyler Black takes seat against right-hander
      Tyler Black is on the bench against a righty Monday for the first time since being recalled last week.

      Advice: Black sat against a lefty in his first day back in the majors, but he had started versus four straight righties since. Tonight, though, the Brewers wanted to give Christian Yelich a day off his feet and put him in the DH spot. Black is 3-for-11 with three walks since being recalled. The Brewers aren’t currently interested in putting Black anywhere other than first base or DH, so when Yelich or someone else besides Rhys Hoskins DHs, there’s no room for Black.

    • Advances to running bases
      Rendon (hamstring) was cleared to run the bases Monday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Rendon continues to take steps forward in his rehab, and Bollinger notes that Monday's workout is the first time he's been given the green light to circle the bases since suffering a left hamstring strain. The 34-year-old remains without a firm timeline for a return, though the club should have an idea of what his minor-league rehab assignment will look like in the near future.

    • Absent from lineup
      Black is not in the lineup for Monday's tilt versus the Rangers.

      Advice: Black was in the lineup for each of the last four games against right-handers following his recall from Triple-A Nashville, but he'll begin this one on the bench as the Rangers send righty Michael Lorenzen to the bump. Rhys Hoskins is at first base and Christian Yelich will occupy the designated hitter spot. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:19 pm

    • Absent from lineup
      Rosario (face) is out of the lineup for Monday's game versus the Mariners.

      Advice: The Mariners are starting right-hander Bryan Woo, so Rosario might not have been in the lineup regardless, but he's now on the bench for a second straight day after being struck on the face by a pitch in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Pirates. He's considered day-to-day, but it's not clear whether Rosario will be available Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:01 pm
