  • Idle Tuesday
    Ortiz isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Tuesday's game versus Colorado.

    Advice: Ortiz was held hitless in five at-bats during his return to the lineup Monday after missing the Brewers' last three games due to a neck injury. He'll get a day to regroup Tuesday while Andruw Monasterio starts at the hot corner and bats ninth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:35 pm
     
  • Jettisoned by Oakland
    The Athletics designated Diaz for assignment Tuesday.

    Advice: Diaz has gone just 3-for-29 in 12 games with the A's this season, and his poor performance has now officially caused him to lose his 40-man roster spot. The 33-year-old owns just a .621 OPS over 32 plate appearances in the minors this season, making it likely he passes through waivers unclaimed. Brett Harris was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:14 pm

  • Taking seat Tuesday
    Merrifield is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Merrifield's playing time has been trending upward lately, starting four of the Phillies' previous six games. However, he'll yield to Brandon Marsh in left field for Tuesday's series opener in Chicago. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:41 pm
     
  • Jose Altuve back in Tuesday’s lineup vs. Blue Jays
    Jose Altuve is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Altuve received a rare day off during Monday’s series opener following a sizzling-hot June where he batted .333 (34-for-102) with four homers and five steals over 25 contests. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:29 pm
     
  • David Hamilton on the bench Tuesday vs. Marlins
    David Hamilton is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Marlins.

    Advice: Hamilton grabs a seat on the bench with Marlins rookie Valente Bellozo taking the ball to open Tuesday’s showdown in Miami. The 26-year-old has been forced to split time with fellow youngster Enmanuel Valdez at the keystone over the last few weeks, which probably works well for the Red Sox, but is a thorn in the side for fantasy managers. It’ll be difficult for him to find everyday playing time unless injuries strike Boston’s outfield, which would lead to Ceddanne Rafaela moving from shortstop to center field.

  • Out of Houston lineup
    Dubon is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Toronto.

    Advice: Dubon has been an everyday player over the last few weeks while seeing action at multiple positions, but he will begin this one on the bench. Yordan Alvarez and Joey Loperfido will occupy the corner outfield spots and Jon Singleton will handle first base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:10 pm

  • Idle Tuesday
    Garcia is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: With the Nationals facing a left-handed pitcher for a second straight game, Garcia will yield to Ildemaro Vargas at second base once again. Garcia owns a .677 OPS with seven home runs and 11 stolen bases this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:57 pm
     
  • Not in Tuesday's lineup
    Loftin is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Loftin had started each of the previous five games at third base but picked up just one hit during that stretch. CJ Alexander will get the call at the hot corner for Tuesday's contest. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:45 pm
