  • Returning to action Tuesday
    Estrada (thumb) is starting at second base and batting second Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Estrada sat out the previous three games with a jammed thumb but is ready to take the field Tuesday in Arizona. The 28-year-old finished May on a modest four-game hit streak and went 7-for-17 with a double, an RBI and a run during that span. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago
     
  • Thairo Estrada back in lineup Tuesday vs. D-backs
    Thairo Estrada (thumb) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Estrada is at second base and batting second for Tuesday’s showdown at Chase Field following a three-game absence due to left thumb soreness after jamming it last Friday on a slide into second base. Rotoworld Today, 3:30 pm
     
  • Throws bullpen session
    Diaz (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Advice: Diaz threw 21 pitches during his mound session, and manager Carlos Mendoza said afterward that there is a good chance the 30-year-old reliever begins a rehab assignment in the minors Thursday. It's unclear how many minor-league reps the Mets will give their star closer, but the fact Diaz is already able to begin an assignment likely signals that he will only require a minimum-length stint on the IL.

  • Edwin Díaz to start rehab assignment this week
    Edwin Díaz (shoulder) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday.

    Advice: Díaz threw a bullpen session on Tuesday without any issues and the Mets are hoping to have one of their primary closing options back on June 11, when first eligible to return. The electrifying 30-year-old righty hit the injured list back in late May with a right shoulder impingement. He’s struggled this season, but remains arguably the best option for New York manager Carlos Mendoza moving forward over Adam Ottavino, Jake Diekman and Reed Garrett. Rotoworld Today, 2:23 pm

  • Masataka Yoshida starting rehab assignment this weekend
    Red Sox manager Alex Cora confirmed Tuesday that Masataka Yoshida (thumb) is expected to start a minor league rehab assignment this weekend.

    Advice: Yoshida has been on the shelf since the start of May due to a left thumb strain, but managed to avoid surgery. The 30-year-old is going to need some time to get back up to speed in the minors before returning to Boston’s lineup mix at designated hitter. Rotoworld Today, 1:36 pm

  • Out of Tuesday's lineup
    Caballero is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game at Miami.

    Advice: Caballero started the past four games but will head to the bench Tuesday after he went 4-for-15 with a homer, two RBI, five runs and a stolen base during that stretch. Amed Rosario will take over at shortstop and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 12:59 pm
     
  • Absent from lineup
    Jeffers is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Yankees.

    Advice: It looks to be a routine day off for Jeffers, who is just two off his career high with 12 home runs this season. Christian Vazquez will do the catching for Bailey Ober on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:23 pm
     
  • Records sixth steal
    Westburg went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Westburg has hit safely in his last eight games, going 12-for-31 (.387) in that span. The steal was his first since May 11 and his sixth on nine attempts this season. It's unlikely Westburg will be negatively impacted by the Orioles' promotion of Connor Norby to replace Jorge Mateo (concussion) on the 26-man roster -- Westburg should continue to see near-everyday playing time between third base and second base. The 25-year-old is slashing .292/.348/.510 with nine home runs, 36 RBI and 30 runs scored over 222 plate appearances as he enjoys a breakout in his second major-league campaign.
