    • Lands on IL with quad injury
      The Padres placed Tatis on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a femoral stress reaction in his right quadricep.

      Advice: Tatis missed the last two games with a triceps injury after being hit in the left arm by a pitch Friday, and he will now be sidelined with a separate quadriceps injury. His stint on the IL would line up with a return in early July, but it's possible the 25-year-old will be held out longer than that -- until perhaps after the All-Star break, per Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune. Tatis is slashing .279/.354/.468 with 14 home runs and 36 RBI over 345 plate appearances and an .822 OPS. Rotowire.com Monday, 3:44 pm
       
    • Fernando Tatis Jr. to land on IL with quad injury
      Fernando Tatis Jr. is going on the IL with a slight stress reaction in his quad, according to manager Mike Shildt.

      Advice: That’s another big loss for the Padres offense, especially given the alternatives in right field. The Padres are bringing up Bryce Johnson and likely will give him a lot of playing time for at least the next couple of weeks. Rotoworld Monday, 3:32 pm
       
    • Orioles officially promote Kjerstad from AAA
      Orioles recalled 1B/OF Heston Kjerstad from Triple-A Norfolk.

      Advice: The rumored move is now official, as the Orioles promote Kjerstad - again - after hitting .301/.390/.601 with 16 homers, 58 RBI, and a pair of stolen bases in 55 games. The bad news for fantasy managers is that the Orioles did not demote Colton Cowser in a corresponding move, meaning the team would need to decide to sit Cowser on the bench and not give him at-bats for Kjerstad to see regular playing time. It would seem to make no sense for one of Kjerstad or Cowser to sit on a major league bench and not play regularly but that might be the situation we’re heading towards. Or they will both split time often enough that each of their fantasy values will take a considerable hit. We’ll have to see how it plays out this week before knowing for sure.

    • Officially summoned from Triple-A
      The Orioles recalled Kjerstad from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

      Advice: Kjerstad will get another shot with the big club but it's uncertain whether he'll see regular at-bats. He played sparingly during his last stint, starting just four times over a 17-game stretch. Colton Cowser has slashed just .183/.285/.299 since the beginning of May, so it's possible Kjerstad will eat into his playing time in the outfield. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:14 am
       
    • Clubs homer
      Bailey went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Cardinals.

      Advice: Bailey got the Giants on the scoreboard in the seventh inning, breaking up Sonny Gray's perfect game with a two-out solo home run. The long ball was Bailey's sixth of the season and his second in the last five games. The 25-year-old is batting 10-for-26 (.385) with four runs and two RBI in his last six games.

    • Orioles set to promote Heston Kjerstad on Monday
      Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports that the Orioles plan to promote Heston Kjerstad from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

      Advice: The 25-year-old slugger doesn’t have anything left to prove at the Triple-A level where he’s slashing .301/.390/.601 with 16 homers, 58 RBI and a pair of stolen bases in 55 games. It’s unclear how he’ll be utilized in Baltimore though. He’s likely to fill the role that Kyle Stowers had before his demotion earlier this week, getting nothing more than the occasional start against right-handed pitching. Without the promise of everyday at-bats, it’s difficult to get excited about his prospects from a fantasy perspective. Rotoworld Sunday, 4:57 pm
       
    • Fernando Tatis Jr. was available off bench Sunday
      Padres’ manager Mike Shildt told reporters after Sunday’s loss to the Brewers that Fernando Tatis Jr. (triceps, quad) was available off the bench.

      Advice: The Padres were simply waiting for the right opportunity to present itself on Sunday, unfortunately it never did. It’s good news for the superstar outfielder’s availability going forward though, as he should return to the Padres’ starting lineup early in the week. Rotoworld Sunday, 4:45 pm
       
    • Jackson Chourio collects two hits in win Sunday
      Jackson Chourio went 2-for-2 with a double and a run scored as the Brewers triumphed over the Padres in San Diego on Sunday afternoon.

      Advice: The 20-year-old outfielder wasn’t even in the Brewers’ starting lineup for this one, but still managed to have a strong day at the dish. He entered as a pinch-hitter for Tyler Black in the seventh inning, where he singled to right and came around to score on an RBI single off the bat of Jake Bauers. Chourio also doubled off of Jhony Brito in the ninth inning, but was stranded at third. He’s now slashing .230/.278/.362 with seven homers, 27 RBI and eight stolen bases on the season.

    • Expected to be called up Monday
      Kjerstad is set to be called up to the major-league roster Monday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

      Advice: Kjerstad spent a little over two weeks with the Orioles in late April and early May, going 2-for-14 with two walks and six strikeouts while appearing in seven contests. Since being sent down to Triple- Norfolk on May 13, the 25-year-old produced a .268 average with six home runs, 28 RBI, 23 runs and a stolen base over 34 contests, and he'll look to carry his momentum into his second stint with Baltimore in 2024. It's unclear who Kjerstad will replace on the major-league roster, but with Colton Cowser struggling to a .170 average with four extra-base hits over 53 at-bats in June, it's possible that Cowser is the odd man out.
