  • Athletics recall Brett Harris on Tuesday
    Athletics recalled 3B Brett Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas.

  • Idle Tuesday
    Ortiz isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Tuesday's game versus Colorado.

    Advice: Ortiz was held hitless in five at-bats during his return to the lineup Monday after missing the Brewers' last three games due to a neck injury. He'll get a day to regroup Tuesday while Andruw Monasterio starts at the hot corner and bats ninth. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:35 pm

  • Returns to majors
    The Athletics recalled Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

    Advice: Since being optioned to Triple-A in late May, Harris has slashed .366/.458/.659 with three homers and nine RBI in 11 games. He'll now get another chance to prove himself in the big leagues after the A's pushed Aledmys Diaz off their 40-man roster Tuesday. Harris started exclusively at third base during his previous stint with Oakland, where he'll now likely have to compete with Tyler Nevin for playing time until Abraham Toro (hamstring) returns from the IL.

It’ll be Riley Greene patrolling center field in his absence with Akil Baddoo stepping into the lineup to cover left field. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:51 pm
     
  • Josh Jung still dealing with right wrist soreness
    Josh Jung is day-to-day with soreness in his surgically-repaired right wrist.

    Advice: Jung told reporters Tuesday that he hasn’t swung a bat since his last minor league rehab contest back in mid-June and they’re taking things day-by-day at the moment. The 26-year-old third baseman doesn’t appear close to rejoining the Rangers’ lineup at this point and it’s unclear when he’ll be ready to return to game action. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:43 pm
