  • Returns from IL
    Robinson (shoulder) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list by Double-A Amarillo on Tuesday, Sam Dykstra of MiLB.com reports.

    Advice: The 23-year-old suffered a right shoulder sprain during spring training but is now ready to make his 2024 debut with Amarillo. Robinson had a brief stint with the affiliate to close last season but spent most of the campaign at Single-A Visalia, where he had a .945 OPS in 43 games. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago

  • Corbin Carroll sitting Tuesday against southpaw
    Corbin Carroll is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Cardinals

    Advice: It’s a routine off day for Carroll on Tuesday night with lefty Steven Matz toeing the rubber for the Cardinals. He’s gotten off to an excruciatingly-slow start this season with a calamitous .593 OPS with one homer and eight steals in 108 plate appearances through 23 contests. It’s only a matter of time before the 23-year-old fantasy superstar heats up at the dish, but it’s undeniable that he’s struggling at the moment. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago
     
  • Not taking swings
    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Heyward (back) is still experiencing "residual soreness" and isn't yet swinging a bat, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The veteran outfielder hoped to return when first eligible after he landed on the 10-day injured list April 3 with back soreness, but he's still having issues nearly three weeks later. Heyward will need some time to build back up once cleared to swing before starting a rehab assignment, so he's likely at least a few weeks away from rejoining the Dodgers.

  • Mike Trout leading off Tuesday night vs. O’s
    Mike Trout is leading off on Tuesday against the Orioles.

    Advice: It’s the first time Trout has led off for Los Angeles since the second game of a late-August doubleheader against the Astros during the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign. His previous appearance before that was back in early 2018. The 32-year-old generational talent is in the midst of a renaissance campaign with an .889 OPS with eight homers and five steals through 23 contests. Rotoworld Today, 2:56 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

  • Batting leadoff
    Trout is the leadoff hitter Tuesday versus the Orioles.

    Advice: Trout is at the top of the lineup for the first time since Aug. 25, 2020. He has been struggling over the last seven games, slashing just .111/.250/.222. Prior to the slump, the 32-year-old had a solid batting average at .290. In Monday night's loss to Baltimore, Trout struck out looking for the final out with the bases loaded in a two run game. Placing the center fielder at the top of the lineup may be a way to regain a spark. Rotowire.com Today, 2:40 pm

  • Sits down Tuesday
    Bader isn't in the Mets' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: Bader will get a day off after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout during Monday's win in the series opener. Brandon Nimmo will slide over to center field in his place, moving Jeff McNeil into left and allowing Joey Wendle to start at second base, batting eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 2:39 pm
