    • Blue Jays place Kiner-Falefa (knee) on 10-day IL
      Blue Jays placed INF Isiah Kiner-Falefa on the 10-day injured list with a right knee sprain.

      Advice: Falefa was scratched from Monday’s lineup due to pain in his left knee, and the Blue Jays will have the infielder miss at least a week-plus while he gets better. He underwent an MRI after the injury, and while the results haven’t been made public yet, it couldn’t have been too good of news if he’s going to miss time. Leo Jimenez has been recalled from Triple-A to replace Kiner-Falefa on the roster. Rotoworld Today, 12:21 pm

    • Marlins recall Xavier Edwards from Triple-A
      Marlins recalled INF Xavier Edwards from Triple-A Jacksonville.

      Advice: Edwards is taking the roster spot of Tim Anderson, and he’s likely to see the bulk of reps at shortstop in Anderson’s place. The speedy infielder could help with steals, but isn’t a recommended fantasy option for those who aren’t disparate for help in that category. Rotoworld Today, 12:12 pm
       
    • Back in action
      Brujan (undisclosed) is batting seventh and playing second base Tuesday against Boston.

      Advice: Brujan was scratched from Saturday's game against Philadelphia for unspecified reasons and remained out of the lineup for Sunday's contest. However, he'll enter the starting nine at second base Tuesday while Xavier Edwards plays shortstop. With Tim Anderson booted from the 40-man roster, Brujan should see regular playing time in the infield moving forward. Rotowire.com Today, 11:54 am

    • Sitting against RHP
      Gordon is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Gordon is riding a seven-game hit steak, but he'll be idle for a second consecutive contest despite righty Kutter Crawford being on the mound for Boston. Bryan De La Cruz will fill left field and bat second Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 11:51 am

    • Recalled from Triple-A
      The Marlins recalled Edwards from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Edwards is taking the roster spot vacated by Tim Anderson, who has been designated for assignment. The switch-hitting Edwards could also get a shot at shortstop in Anderson's place, although he will have to contend with Vidal Brujan there for playing time. Edwards is a potential stolen-base contributor in fantasy should he receive regular reps, although it's a question as to whether he'll ultimately hit enough to be able to take advantage of that speed.

    • Launches first homer
      Iglesias went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's extra-inning win over the Nationals.

      Advice: Getting the start at second base against southpaw MacKenzie Gore and batting eighth, Iglesias didn't make his mark until the 10th inning, when he drove the first pitch Jordan Weems threw over the center-field fence to wrap up a six-run frame for the Mets. While his first homer of the season came against a right-hander pitcher, Iglesias has thrived in his short-side platoon role, producing a 1.147 OPS in 29 plate appearances against lefties since joining New York's big-league roster.

    • Socks fourth homer
      Clement went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Astros.

      Advice: The 28-year-old utility player wasn't even supposed to be in the starting lineup, but a late scratch for Isiah Kiner-Falefa (knee) inserted Clement at third base, and he wound up taking Josh Hader deep in the ninth inning to spoil a combined shutout bid for Houston. The long ball was his fourth of the season, setting a new career high, and he's slashing .333/.347/.563 in 49 plate appearances since the beginning of June. Should Kiner-Falefa require an IL stint, Clement could see a big uptick in playing time, although Addison Barger would also be in the mix at third base. Rotowire.com Today, 7:45 am

    • Joey Ortiz (neck) returns to Brewers lineup
      Joey Ortiz is back at third base Monday after a three-game absence due to neck stiffness.

      Advice: Ortiz is leading off with the Brewers facing a lefty tonight. He’ll continue to hit low in the order against righties. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:00 pm
       
    • Isiah Kiner-Falefa undergoes MRI on knee
      Isiah Kiner-Falefa said he underwent an MRI after feeling something in his left knee while stretching prior to Monday’s game.

      Advice: This doesn’t sound good. Kiner-Falefa, who is putting together a terrific season as a super-utilityman, was a last-minute scratch before the game today. If he lands on the injured list, it’ll probably mean more regular playing time for Davis Schneider and a longer look for Addison Barger. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:18 pm
