  • X-rays negative on Joey Ortiz’s foot
    Joey Ortiz said X-rays on his sore right foot taken after Monday’s game came back negative.

    Advice: There’s always the chance that X-rays taken right after the incident fail to pick something up, but hopefully, this means Ortiz will be fine to play again in a day or two. He was hit on the right foot by a pitch Monday, though he stayed in to finish the game. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:03 pm

  • Headed for X-rays
    Ortiz is getting X-rays on his right foot after being hit by a pitch in the fourth inning Monday against the Marlins, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Ortiz was able to finish out the game, but it was still bothering him in the clubhouse after the loss, and skipper Pat Murphy noted that the injury may be more serious than initially thought, per Paige Leckie of MLB.com. Andruw Monasterio put together a multi-hit evening and could be in line for more looks at the hot corner if Ortiz requires a trip to the injured list. Oliver Dunn is another option at third base, though it would require Milwaukee to elevate him from Triple-A Nashville. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:57 pm

  • Joey Ortiz requires X-rays for right foot injury
    Joey Ortiz is getting X-rays on his right foot after getting hurt Monday.

    Advice: Ortiz finished the game after getting hit in the foot by a pitch, but he was still in pain afterwards. If it turns out to be a significant injury, the Brewers could bring back Oliver Dunn and mix and match at third. Sal Frelick might be a part of that, too. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:54 pm

  • Rafael Devers homers in sixth straight contest
    Rafael Devers homered for the sixth consecutive game on Monday, powering the Red Sox to a 5-0 victory over the Rays.

    Advice: Devers set a franchise record by homering for the sixth consecutive contest when he took Rays starter Taj Bradley deep for a two-run homer to left field in the fourth inning. It was his 10th round-tripper of the season. The 27-year-old fantasy stalwart got off to a frosty start at the dish this season as he dealt with lingering shoulder and knee issues, but he’s certainly heated up lately with arguably the hottest stretch of his career, batting .286 (20-for-70) with seven homers in 18 contests since the start of May.

  • Sent to Triple-A
    Mastrobuoni was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, per MLB's transaction log.

    Advice: Mastrobuoni went 0-for-10 at the dish over his last three games, and he'll be demoted to the minors now that Dansby Swanson (knee) is ready to be activated from the 10-day IL and Luis Vazquez is ready to get a shot with the big-league club. Mastrobuoni will likely be seen again in the majors this season considering his versatility. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:12 pm

  • Cubs option Mastrobuoni to Triple-A
    Cubs optioned INF/OF Miles Mastrobuoni to Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Mastrobuoni had been filling in at shortstop for Dansby Swanson of late, but he was just 5-for-40 in his 19 games. He’s a career .212/.284/.259 hitter in 211 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:44 pm

  • Anthony Rendon walks uphill on treadmill
    Anthony Rendon, on the 60-day IL with a hamstring tear, said he’s progressed to walking on an incline on a treadmill.

    Advice: That still seems like it might be a few steps away from playing in a major league baseball game. Rendon was injured a month ago today and still has another month before he’ll be eligible to come off the IL. A return right after the All-Star break is probably the best-case scenario.

  • Feeling better
    Rendon (hamstring) has progressed to walking on an incline on the treadmill, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Rendon is taking baby steps in his recovery from a left hamstring strain but said Monday that he's feeling a bit better. There remains no timetable for his return and he's not eligible for activation for another month after being shifted to the 60-day injured list earlier this month.

  • Jorge Polanco (hamstring) available off bench
    Jorge Polanco, again out of the lineup with his hamstring tightness, will be available off the bench Monday, according to manager Scott Servais.

    Advice: It’s his sixth straight day out of the lineup, which is a lot for “tightness.” Luis Urías continues to fill in for him, with Josh Rojas moving from third to second. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:14 pm
