  • Getting breather Tuesday
    Marte is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Marte returned to second base for the last two games after spending two contests at designated hitter due to general body soreness. It would appear that him being absent from Tuesday's lineup is just a routine day off. Blaze Alexander is getting a start at second base and will bat second for the Diamondbacks.

  • Sent down to Triple-A

  • Won't start Wednesday after all
    Houser will no longer start Wednesday in Philadelphia after warming up in the bullpen during Tuesday's game versus the Phillies, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: Houser had been set to rejoin the Mets' rotation after a brief demotion to the bullpen, but the club had him get loose when it looked like he might be needed in relief Tuesday. He ultimately did not pitch, but it will prevent him from being ready to start Wednesday. The team has not yet announced a start for Wednesday's contest. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Idle Tuesday
    Frazier is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners

    Advice: Frazier will be out of the lineup for the second time in the last three games, with Michael Massey playing second base and Nelson Velazquez operating as the designated hitter. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • A’s option Lawrence Butler to Triple-A
    Athletics optioned OF Lawrence Butler to Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Advice: Butler possesses some of the most tantalizing raw tools of any prospect in the game, but hasn’t exactly put it together at the highest level with a lackluster .192/.256/.306 triple-slash line with six homers and three steals in 250 plate appearances in the big leagues over the last two years. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues are encouraged not to cut bait entirely, but he remains a work in progress. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago

  • Takes seat Tuesday
    Isbel is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Isbel will give up center field work to Garrett Hampson for a third consecutive game. Isbel has gone hitless in four of his last six starts. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • A’s option Eason Lucas back to Triple-A
    Athletics optioned LHP Easton Lucas to Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Advice: Lucas has been lit up for seven runs (six earned) on eight hits with a 6/3 K/BB ratio across 3 2/3 innings (three appearances) this season in the big leagues. The 27-year-old lefty heads back down to give Oakland a fresh arm heading into Tuesday’s showdown against the Astros. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago
     
  • Rangers recall Jack Leiter to start vs. Guardians
    Rangers recalled RHP Jack Leiter from Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: Leiter draws the starting assignment for Tueasday’s matchup against the Guardians and offers some appeal for fantasy managers in deeper mixed leagues due to his strikeout potential. The 24-year-old prospect isn’t for the risk-averse as he’s been hit hard in a pair of spot starts this season in his first taste of the majors. He’s been outstanding at Triple-A Round Rock, posting a sparkling 2.84 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 37/8 K/BB ratio across 25 1/3 innings (five appearances, four starts) in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League.

  • Rangers option Owen White back to Triple-A
    Rangers optioned RHP Owen White to Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: White heads back to the minors to make room for Jack Leiter to come up and take the ball on Tuesday evening against Cleveland. The 24-year-old righty has made a pair of relief appearances this season for the Rangers. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago
