  • Jasson Domínguez nearing rehab assignment
    Jasson Domínguez (elbow) will begin a minor league rehab assignment in mid-to-late May.

    Advice: Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Tuesday that Domínguez, who is recovering from last year’s Tommy John surgery, is less than two weeks away from getting into rehab games. He’s expected to be ready to rejoin New York’s outfield mix at some point next month. The 21-year-old top prospect impressed last year in his first taste of the majors and figures to make an impact for fantasy managers this summer. Rotoworld Today, 3:08 pm
     
  • Taking swings in cage
    Manager Scott Servais said Tuesday that Crawford (oblique) took swings in the batting cages at the team's complex in Arizona, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Advice: Servais added that Crawford will progress to hitting on the field with the hopes of swinging at full strength this weekend. If the 29-year-old shortstop is able to do that without any problems, he will embark on a brief rehab assignment before returning to the Mariners' lineup. Crawford had gone 5-for-16 with four RBI across his last four games before landing on the injured list April 25. Rotowire.com Today, 3:03 pm
     
  • Luis García Jr. (wrist) in lineup Tuesday vs. O’s
    Luis García Jr. (wrist) is in the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Orioles.

    Advice: It’s an extremely encouraging sign that García is healthy and ready to go following an early exit from Sunday’s series finale against the Blue Jays due to left wrist soreness. The 23-year-old former top prospect has gotten off to a phenomenal start this season, batting .337 (33-for-98) with three homers and six steals in 29 contests. Rotoworld Today, 2:25 pm
     
  • Sitting again Tuesday
    Soler (shoulder) isn't in the Giants' lineup for Tuesday's game against Colorado, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Although Soler's shoulder injury has now kept him out of the lineup for three consecutive games, the Giants have not said anything that would suggest a future move to the IL for the 32-year-old slugger. His absence Tuesday will allow Wilmer Flores to serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Today, 2:24 pm

  • Jorge Soler (shoulder) out Tuesday vs. Rockies
    Jorge Soler (shoulder) remains absent from the lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Rockies.

    Advice: It’s a tough break for fantasy managers as Soler will wind up missing an extremely favorable matchup against Rockies righty Dakota Hudson at Coors Field. The 32-year-old righty has been out since last weekend due to right shoulder soreness. He remains day-to-day for now. It’s possible he’ll be available off the bench, but that remains to be seen. It’ll be Wilmer Flores at designated hitter in his absence. Rotoworld Today, 2:22 pm

  • Darell Hernaiz exits Tuesday with ankle injury
    Darell Hernaiz was removed from Tuesday’s lopsided affair against the Rangers with a left ankle injury.

    Advice: Hernaiz suffered the injury during the early stages of the one-sided contest when he stepped awkwardly on the first-base bag attempting to beat out an infield hit. The 22-year-old infielder should be considered day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 2:10 pm

    Luis Arraez is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Cubs.

    Advice: Arraez takes a seat to open Tuesday’s contest at Wrigley Field with southpaw Shota Imanaga toeing the rubber after starting three consecutive games for San Diego since being acquired over the weekend from the Marlins. The 27-year-old second baseman has five hits and one RBI in 15 at-bats over three contests since being picked up by the Padres. Rotoworld Today, 2:04 pm
     
  • Seiya Suzuki (oblique) starting rehab assignment
    Seiya Suzuki (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters Suzuki is likely to return to Chicago’s lineup later this week on either Friday or Saturday when they take on the Pirates. The 29-year-old corner outfielder has been sidelined since mid-April due to a right oblique strain, which was expected to keep him on the shelf for at least one month. Rotoworld Today, 2:00 pm
