    • Sitting down Tuesday
      Campusano isn't in the Padres' lineup for Tuesday's game against Miami.

      Advice: Campusano will get a day to clear his head Tuesday after going 0-for-11 across his last five games. Kyle Higashioka will fill in behind the dish and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:15 pm
       
    • Getting breather
      Melendez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

      Advice: Despite Kansas City facing a right-hander Tuesday, Melendez will miss the Royals starting nine. Instead, Garrett Hampson will play left field and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:21 pm
       
    • Cleared for rehab assignment
      Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Alvarez (thumb) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Binghamton on Thursday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: Mendoza offered that Alvarez will catch 5-to-7 innings in his first game with Binghamton and build up from there. Alvarez is five weeks removed from undergoing surgery to repair a torn UCL in his left thumb. He was given an eight-week timetable to return following the operation, but the young catcher would appear to have a good shot to beat that timeline. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:40 am
       
    • Francisco Alvarez (thumb) starting rehab Thursday
      Francisco Alvarez (thumb) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Binghamton on Thursday.

      Advice: That according to Mets manager Carlos Mendoza, who also told reporters the catcher is expected to be behind the plate for five to seven innings. Alvarez was able to take batting practice over the weekend, and the 22-year-old backstop was reportedly hitting the ball hard as he works his way back from the thumb injury that has kept him out since April. Assuming no setbacks occur in the rehab assignment, Alvarez could be back for the Mets in the middle of June, possibly sooner. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:36 am
       
    • Looking good in batting practice
      Alvarez (thumb) was reaching exit velocities over 100 miles per hour during batting practice over the weekend, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: The 22-year-old catcher is still wearing a splint on his surgically repaired thumb, however, and the Mets aren't going to rush him back from the 10-day injured list. The team may also use his recovery period to have him work on his positioning behind the plate, as Alvarez has a tendency to be overeager reaching for pitches and is susceptible to getting his glove hand smacked by a swing. Alvarez was batting .236 (13-for-55) with one home run and eight RBI through 16 games when he was injured in mid-April. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:43 am
       
    • MJ Melendez singles in Royals’ loss to Twins
      MJ Melendez went 1-for-3 with a single on Monday in the Royals’ loss to the Twins.

      Advice: It’s been a struggle this season at the dish for Melendez as he’s batting just .179 (27-for-151) with four homers and two steals through 47 games. Perhaps the biggest concern here is that he hasn’t connected for a home run since back on April 19. Rotoworld Monday, 1:41 pm
       
    • Not starting Sunday
      Campusano is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Yankees.

      Advice: Campusano will rest Sunday after starting in the first two games of the series, going 0-for-5 with two walks. Kyle Higashioka will start behind the plate and bat ninth against Yankees right-hander Clarke Schmidt. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:50 pm
       
    • Francisco Alvarez (thumb) takes BP on Saturday
      Francisco Alvarez (thumb) took batting practice on Saturday at Citi Field.

      Advice: Alvarez progressed to on-field batting practice for the first time since last month’s thumb surgery. The 22-year-old backstop will presumably head out on a minor league rehab assignment at some point in the coming weeks, barring any unexpected setbacks. The hope is that he’ll be ready to return at some point in mid-to-late June. Rotoworld Saturday, 9:15 am
       
    • Set for batting practice Saturday
      Alvarez (thumb) is set to participate in batting practice Saturday, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

      Advice: Alvarez landed on the 10-day IL after tearing the UCL in his left thumb April 19, and the 22-year-old catcher is on track for a return by late June. Alvarez was slashing .236/.288/.364 with one home run and eight RBI over 59 plate appearances prior to his injury. Rotowire.com Friday, 2:22 pm
