  • Back in action Tuesday
    Perez (back) is starting at first base and batting cleanup Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Perez was scratched from Monday's starting nine due to back tightness, but he made an appearance off the bench and is back in the lineup a day later. The 33-year-old has enjoyed a strong start to 2024 with seven homers, 26 RBI and a .346/.404/.596 slash line through 29 games. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
  • Heading to minors
    Astros GM Dana Brown said Tuesday that Abreu is not with the MLB club and will be optioned to the Astros Florida Complex League affiliate Wednesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The 37-year-old has struggled to a .099/.156/.113 slash line in 77 plate appearances through the first month of the season, so he'll voluntarily head to Houston's FCL affiliate in an attempt to "get some at-bats and his timing back right," per Brown. It will be the first time in the minors for Abreu, as he immediately joined the White Sox after coming up from Cuba in 2014 and has never had a minor-league rehab assignment.

  • Out against left-hander
    Busch is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Mets.

    Advice: Southpaw Sean Manaea is on the hill for the Mets, so the left-handed hitting Busch will take a seat. Patrick Wisdom will occupy first base for the Cubs on Tuesday. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago
  • Astros option veteran José Abreu to minor leagues
    Astros optioned 1B José Abreu to extended spring training.

    Advice: Astros general manager Dana Brown told reporters Tuesday that the decision was mutually agreed upon to send Abreu to extended spring training in Florida to get some additional at-bats and work on his timing at the plate. The 37-year-old slugger, who signed a three-year, $58.5 million pact with Houston prior to last year, is batting .099 (7-for-71) with just one extra-base hit this season through 22 games. The move presumably clears up a spot for top prospect Joey Loperfido to get some extended run as Houston’s primary option at the cold corner. Rotoworld 49 minutes ago

  • Beginning rehab assignment
    Burger (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Burger has been upping his workouts and is ready to play in some games now. The infielder has been on the shelf for the last two weeks with a left intercostal strain. Burger shouldn't need too many rehab games before rejoining the Marlins' active roster. Rotowire.com Today, 12:59 pm

  • Batting seventh in Boston debut
    Cooper is starting at first base and batting seventh Tuesday against the Giants, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: The 33-year-old was acquired from the Cubs over the week and will make his debut for the Red Sox on Tuesday. Cooper had a .270/.341/.432 slash line in 41 plate appearances for Chicago and should see plenty of playing time at first base while Tristan Casas (ribs) is sidelined. Rotowire.com Today, 12:54 pm
  • Mets option Mark Vientos to Triple-A
    Mets optioned INF Mark Vientos to Triple-A Syracuse

    Advice: Vientos will head back to the minors after the team activated Starling Marte from the bereavement. The 24-year-old went 3-for-7 with two RBI in his three games while with the Mets, so he did himself some good to be considered for a call up later in the season if there is an open slot.

  • Heads back to minors
    The Mets optioned Vientos to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Advice: Vientos contributed a walk-off home run in Sunday's extra-innings win over the Cardinals but now finds himself back in the minors as Starling Marte returns to the active roster. With J.D. Martinez with the club and Brett Baty absorbing most of the at-bats at third base, there's no path to regular playing time for Vientos right now. Rotowire.com Today, 12:18 pm

  • Not in Tuesday's lineup
    Urias is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: The Yankees are throwing southpaw Nestor Cortes, but the right-handed hitting Urias will begin this one on the bench. Jordan Westburg is at third base and Jorge Mateo will handle second base. Rotowire.com Today, 12:03 pm
