  • Sitting Tuesday
    Slater isn't in the Giants' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: After going 0-for-4 with three strikeouts and an RBI during Monday's game, Slater will get a day to regroup Tuesday while Luis Matos starts in right field, batting ninth. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting against southpaw
    Peralta isn't in the Padres' lineup for Tuesday's game against Washington.

    Advice: Left-hander MacKenzie Gore will start on the mound for the Nationals, so the lefty-hitting Peralta will take a seat on the bench to begin Tuesday's contest. His absence will open up a spot for Bryce Johnson to start in right field while batting ninth. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
     
  • Taking seat Tuesday
    Marsh is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Detroit.

    Advice: Lefty Tarik Skubal is taking the mound for the Tigers, so Marsh will start Tuesday's contests on the bench. Cristian Pache will man center field and bat eighth while Whit Merrifield starts in left field. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago

  • Alek Thomas (hamstring) resumes rehab assignment
    Alek Thomas (hamstring) will resume a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Reno.

    Advice: Thomas hit pause on his rehab assignment last week after experiencing some renewed hamstring soreness, but he’s apparently feeling well enough to get back into game action already. The 24-year-old had been out since late March due to a hamstring strain and several setbacks along the way during his rehabilitation process. However, he appears to be on track to return at some point in early July. Rotoworld Today, 2:12 pm

  • Progressing in baseball activities
    Carpenter (back) took swings off a tee Monday and participated in throwing/running drills Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: The 26-year-old was shut down in late May due to a lumbar spine stress fracture, but he's now back to taking part in baseball activities. Carpenter still has significant rehab work to do before being ready for game action, and he'll likely require a minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining the Tigers.

  • Back in starting nine
    Kepler (neck) will start in right field and bat cleanup in Tuesday's game in Arizona.

    Advice: Kepler missed three starts while battling neck spasms, but he's ready to give it a go following Monday's team off day. The veteran outfielder comes into action Tuesday with just a .548 OPS in June, although he has homered twice in his previous five contests. Rotowire.com Today, 2:02 pm
     
  • Max Kepler returns to lineup Tuesday vs. D-backs
    Max Kepler (neck) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Kepler is back in right field and batting cleanup on Tuesday night out at Chase Field in Arizona following a three-game absence due to neck spasms. The 31-year-old corner outfielder holds a pedestrian .733 OPS with six homers and one steal in 207 plate appearances over 55 games this season. Rotoworld Today, 1:56 pm
     
  • Daulton Varsho remains out Tuesday with back issue
    Daulton Varsho (back) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Varsho has been held out of Toronto’s lineup for three consecutive games due to back tightness, but appears to be available off the bench for now. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern, but the Blue Jays clearly don’t want to push it and potentially make things worse. He’s day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 1:29 pm
