  • Cubs activate Cody Bellinger for Tuesday return
    Cubs activated 1B/OF Cody Bellinger from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Bellinger will make his return to Chicago’s lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Padres following a two-week absence due to a rib fracture. The 28-year-old slugger was off to a bit of a slow start at the dish this season, batting .226/.320/.440 with five homers and 17 RBI in 97 plate appearances over 22 contests before a collision with the center-field wall back on April 23 resulted in a rib injury. Fantasy managers should make sure he’s back in their respective lineups moving forward. Rotoworld 5 minutes ago
     
  • Not facing lefty
    Carpenter is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Cleveland.

    Advice: As per usual, Carpenter will slide to the bench with southpaw Logan Allen on the mound for the Guardians. Instead, Ryan Vilade will make his 2024 debut and fill in at right field. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Cubs option Alexander Canario to Triple-A
    Cubs optioned OF Alexander Canario to Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Canario heads back to the minors with Cody Bellinger returning from the injured list. The 24-year-old former top prospect batted a respectable .273/.360/.455 with one homer and one steal in 25 plate appearances over 13 games in his latest brief stint in the big leagues.

  • Not starting Tuesday
    Canha is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Cleveland.

    Advice: After making six straight starts, Canha will come off the bench for Tuesday's contest, leaving DH work to Jake Rogers while Carson Kelly fills in behind the plate. Canha trails only Riley Greene for the team lead in homers with five. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago

    The Cubs optioned Canario to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: He's clearing out to make room for Cody Bellinger's (ribs) return from the injured list. Canario went 6-for-22 with one home run during his brief time up with the big club. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • On bench Tuesday
    Keith is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: Keith will get the day off as Andy Ibanez takes over at second base and hits leadoff. The 22-year-old has struggled in his first month-plus of big league action, slashing .158/.232/.178 over 112 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago

  • Returns from injured list
    The Cubs activated Bellinger (ribs) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Bellinger wound up missing nearly two weeks of action with a fracture in his right ribcage. Having shown the Cubs enough in workouts that he was ready to go, he will skip a rehab assignment and go directly back into the lineup. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Back in action
    Perez (illness) is batting second and playing center field Tuesday against Cleveland.

    Advice: Perez had missed back-to-back games due to illness but will return to the lineup for Tuesday's action, replacing Parker Meadows in center field. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Tigers option Parker Meadows to Triple-A
    Tigers optioned OF Parker Meadows to Triple-A

    Advice: Meadows put together an extremely impressive performance in Grapefruit League action during spring training, but never quite got going once the regular season rolled around. The 24-year-old speedy center fielder heads back to the minors after batting .096 (7-for-73) with two homers and three steals in 85 plate appearances over 32 contests. He’ll get another shot at some point, but this certainly qualifies as a disappointing development in his long-term outlook. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago
