  • Kris Bryant (back) won’t return this week
    Kris Bryant (back) has yet to resume baseball activities.

    Advice: If there’s a positive takeaway here it’s that Rockies manager Bud Black didn’t seem too concerned on Tuesday while speaking with reporters, adding that there’s no talk of surgery for Bryant, and he hasn’t undergone any additional testing or imaging. The 32-year-old is eligible to return from the injured list this week, but that won’t happen. He remains shut down as he continues to recover from a lower back strain. Rotoworld Today, 4:38 pm

  • Exits rehab game early
    LeMahieu (foot) was forced to exit his rehab start with Double-A Somerset in the second inning, Randy Miller of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Advice: LeMahieu left the contest after striking out in the top of first frame and playing third base in the bottom of the inning. He was making his first start with Somerset and was expected to appear in three more contests before returning to the major-league roster. The 35-year-old is now set to undergo examinations on his foot in New York on Wednesday according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. More information on his status will be provided following the testing, but it certainly appears as if LeMahieu suffered a setback in his recovery of a bone bruise and fracture in his right foot.

  • DJ LeMahieu exits rehab debut with foot soreness
    DJ LeMahieu was removed from Tuesday’s minor league rehab game for Double-A Somerset due to right foot soreness.

    Advice: It’s not what you want to see. LeMahieu struck out in his lone plate appearances and lasted just one inning at third base in his rehab assignment debut before leaving the contest. It’s a notable development since he was expected to play at least a couple innings in this one. The 35-year-old veteran, who has been out since spring training due to a non-displaced fracture in his right foot, is heading back to New York to be re-evaluated. Not good. Rotoworld Today, 4:23 pm

  • Steps out of lineup
    Renfroe is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Renfroe is in the midst of a 2-for-21 slump and will sit Tuesday after starting the previous six games. Dairon Blanco will take over in right field and bat seventh. Rotowire.com Today, 3:38 pm
     
  • No baseball work yet
    Rockies manager Bud Black said Tuesday that Bryant (back) is not participating in baseball activities and won't be reinstated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Wednesday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

    Advice: There apparently isn't much concern about the back strain being a serious issue since Bryant hasn't been sent for medical imaging, but the lower-back strain will still keep him sidelined for the near future. The 32-year-old doesn't have an official timeline for his return and should be considered out indefinitely until he resumes baseball activities. Rotowire.com Today, 2:51 pm

  • Absent from lineup again
    Drury is not in the lineup versus the Orioles on Tuesday.

    Advice: Drury took a seat in Monday's game versus the Orioles after returning to the lineup Friday. The second baseman was dealing with a hamstring injury prior to playing in all three contests of the weekend against the Reds. This marks the second consecutive game he will not start with Luis Rengifo starting at second and batting eighth Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 2:48 pm

  • Ryan Mountcastle (knee) not in Tuesday’s lineup
    Ryan Mountcastle (knee) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Angels.

    Advice: Mountcastle will sit out his second straight contest due to knee soreness with Ryan O’Hearn handling the cold corner out in Los Angeles. It sounds like his ongoing absence is merely out of an abundance of caution. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 2:30 pm
     
  • Remains out Tuesday
    Mountcastle (knee) isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Knee soreness kept Mountcastle from playing in Monday's contest, though manager Brandon Hyde said the 27-year-old was available off the bench for that game. He will remain in the dugout once again Tuesday, allowing Ryan O'Hearn to start at first base while Anthony Santander serves as Baltimore's DH and Heston Kjerstad covers right field.

  • Not starting Tuesday
    Biggio isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup for Tuesday's game against Kansas City.

    Advice: Biggio will get a day to rest Tuesday after going 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored during Monday's victory. His absence will allow Davis Schneider to start at the keystone while batting sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 2:15 pm
