    • Walk-off hit in return
      Hoerner went 1-for-5 with one RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over Atlanta.

      Advice: Hoerner had a relatively unimpressive return after missing over a week with a hamstring issue, but he made up for it with a one-out, walk-off single in the 10th inning. The infielder is slashing .267/.357/.385 with two home runs, 13 RBI, 25 runs scored and five stolen bases over 185 plate appearances. Hoerner's return will likely mean less playing time for Nick Madrigal moving forward, assuming Hoerner doesn't suffer a setback with his hamstring. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 8:31 pm

    • Nico Hoerner back in lineup Tuesday vs. Braves
      Nico Hoerner (hamstring) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Braves.

      Advice: It’s an extremely encouraging development for fantasy managers as Hoerner is back at second base and batting sixth on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field following a six-game absence due to left hamstring tightness. The hope here is that he received enough time off to put the issue to bed completely. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:44 pm

    • Returns to lineup Tuesday
      Hoerner (hamstring) will start at second base and bat sixth in Tuesday's game versus Atlanta.

      Advice: Hoerner hasn't played in more than a week due to a left hamstring injury, but he's finally feeling well enough to give it a go Tuesday. Dansby Swanson is also back from an injured-list stint, so the Cubs will have their middle-infield duo back together for the first time since May 7. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:33 pm

    • Hits on field, runs at 80 percent
      Turner (hamstring) hit on the field and ran at 80 percent effort level Tuesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Turner has ramped up his workouts over the last week and has not reported any soreness in his left hamstring. The Phillies have been encouraged by Turner's progress, but they insist he won't be rushed and have not offered an amendment of the shortstop's initial six-week timetable. However, Friday will be just the three-week mark of the injury, so it sure seems as though Turner is ahead of schedule. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:20 pm

    • Trea Turner (hamstring) continues progressing
      Trea Turner (hamstring) progressed to on-field hitting and ran at 80 percent on Tuesday.

      Advice: Turner hasn’t experienced any soreness or setbacks as he steadily ramps up baseball activities in his recovery from a left hamstring strain. The 30-year-old shortstop isn’t being intentionally rushed back, but he’s making swift progress and could return in a couple weeks, if not sooner. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:15 pm

    • J.P. Crawford returns to M’s lineup on Tuesday
      J.P. Crawford is leading off on Tuesday against the Yankees.

      Advice: Crawford is back at shortstop and leading off on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium after sitting out Monday’s series opener following his activation for the injured list. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:08 pm
       
    • In-game replacement in IL return
      Crawford (oblique), activated from the injured list earlier in the day, entered Monday's win over the Yankees as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning and remained in the game at shortstop, going 0-for-2.

      Advice: Crawford struck out swinging in his pinch-hit appearance and subsequently flied out to center to close out the ninth. The veteran shortstop was logging his first game action since April 23, and given his in-game appearance and ability to play defense Monday, he's a likely candidate to return to the starting nine Tuesday.

    • J.P. Crawford (oblique) activated by Mariners
      Mariners activated SS J.P. Crawford from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: Crawford’s pregame workout today was impressive enough to get him back on the roster tonight after his absence due to an oblique strain and a subsequent bruised hand, but he won’t return to the starting lineup until tomorrow. Dylan Moore will return to his utility role then after spending the last 3 1/2 weeks as a starting shortstop. Rotoworld Monday, 3:47 pm
       
    • Activated but not starting Monday
      The Mariners activated Crawford (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The Mariners put Crawford through a full pregame workout Monday, which is surely the reason why he's not in the lineup. He will be available off the bench, though, before likely returning to the starting nine Tuesday. Dylan Moore will handle shortstop again Monday. Rotowire.com Monday, 3:28 pm
