    • Won't face lefty
      McNeil is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting McNeil will once again give way to Jose Iglesias at second base with a left-handed pitcher (DJ Herz) on the mound for the opposition. Iglesias will bat eighth in place of McNeil, who should continue to see the bulk of the playing time at the keystone when the Mets oppose right-handers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:21 pm
       
    • Resuming baseball activities
      Rendon (hamstring) will resume baseball activities this week, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

      Advice: Rendon has been shelved since late April with a partial left hamstring tear but is finally ready to begin ramping up his rehab work. It's going to be a slow process and one that will involve a rehab assignment at some point, so Rendon still figures to be several weeks away from a return. Rotowire.com Monday, 3:31 pm
       
    • Sitting against southpaw Monday
      McNeil is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting McNeil is being withheld from the lineup for Mets' second straight matchup with a left-hander (MacKenzie Gore), as he had previously taken a seat when New York opposed Arizona southpaw Jordan Montgomery on Monday. McNeil could be moving into the strong side of a platoon at second base with the righty-hitting Jose Iglesias, who will draw another start. Rotowire.com Monday, 12:19 pm
       
    • Jeff McNeil sits against southpaw on Monday
      Jeff McNeil is absent from the Mets’ starting lineup for Monday night’s battle against the Nationals.

      Advice: It looks to be just a regular day off for McNeil with tough left-hander MacKenzie Gore toeing the slab for the Nationals. Jose Iglesias will start in his place at second base and will bat eighth for the Mets on Monday evening in Washington. Rotoworld Monday, 11:44 am
       
    • Activated from injured list
      The Rays reinstated Lowe (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

      Advice: Tampa Bay is off Monday, but the club went ahead and officially put Lowe back on its active roster ahead of their series against the Marlins, which begins Tuesday. Lowe has been limited to just 14 games this season because of a pair of oblique strains, but he's ready to roll after going 4-for-12 with a triple, three runs and two RBI over three rehab games with Triple-A Durham. He'll likely see most of his playing time in right field for the Rays but could also play some in center. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:57 am
       
    • Rays activate Josh Lowe (oblique) from 10-day IL
      Rays activated OF Josh Lowe from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: As anticipated, Lowe will be back in uniform with the team when they kick off their two-game set against the Marlins in Miami on Tuesday. Prior to his stint on the injured list, the 26-year-old outfielder had been hitting .240/.296/.440 with two dingers and three RBI in his first 50 at-bats. Jonathan Aranda was optioned to Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move on Monday. Rotoworld Monday, 10:47 am
       
    • Yoshida (thumb) could start rehab assignment soon
      Masataka Yoshida (thumb) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment near the end of this week.

      Advice: Red Sox’ manager Alex Cora told reporters on Sunday that Yoshida has seen considerable improvement and will “hopefully” be ready to begin a minor league rehab assignment before the end of the week. The 30-year-old has been sidelined since the beginning of May due to a strained left thumb. Before landing on the injured list he was hitting .275/.348/.388 with just two homers, 11 RBI and zero stolen bases in 89 plate appearances. Rotoworld Monday, 8:14 am
       
    • Tracking toward Tuesday return
      Lowe (oblique) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game in Miami after he completed a rehab assignment at Triple-A Durham over the weekend, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Lowe went 4-for-12 with a triple, three runs and two RBI over the three-game rehab assignment and played all nine innings in right field in Sunday's contest. The 26-year-old has made a swift recovery from his right oblique strain, a recurrence of a previous injury that had kept him on the shelf for the first five weeks of the season. Once activated, Lowe will likely move between center field, right field and designated hitter while occupying a prominent spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching. Lowe's impending return could result in the likes of Jose Siri and Richie Palacios losing out on playing time. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:45 am
       
    • Possible rehab assignment this week
      Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Sunday that he's hopeful Yoshida (thumb) could begin a minor-league rehab assignment later this week, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

      Advice: Cora's comments came one day after Yoshida took live batting practice on the field and reported no issues with his strained left thumb, which has kept him out of action since April 28. Though the skipper didn't offer up a firm timeline for when Yoshida might be activated from the 10-day injured list, the 30-year-old may only need a handful of games in the minors this weekend before he's deemed ready to rejoin the Red Sox. Once activated, Yoshida should settle in as Boston's primary designated hitter, though he's likely to sit frequently against left-handed pitching. Rotowire.com Monday, 6:52 am
