  • Set for rehab assignment
    Ibanez (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Ibanez went through a full workout Tuesday and didn't have any issues, clearing the way for him to play in rehab games. He's missed just over two weeks of action with a left hamstring strain and shouldn't need many rehab at-bats before being activated. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago

  • Out again Tuesday
    Alexander (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest in St. Louis.

    Advice: Alexander tweaked his right hamstring Sunday and has now missed two straight starts. He was reportedly available off the bench Monday, so it shouldn't be long before he's ready to return to the lineup. However, with a team off day coming Thursday, the Diamondbacks might elect to hold him out until Friday. Kevin Newman will be at shortstop again Tuesday. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Nationals designate Jake Alu for assignment

  • Designated for assignment
    The Nationals designated Alu for assignment Tuesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Alu at one point looked like a good bet to carve out a super utility role with the big club, but he posted just a .571 OPS in the majors last season and had an even-worse .537 OPS this year at Triple-A Rochester. The 27-year-old could still draw some interest via trade or waivers from a club looking to add versatility. Rotowire.com 49 minutes ago

  • Held out again Tuesday
    India (illness) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Phillies.

    Advice: India has now been out of the lineup for three straight games as he battles a nasty illness. He remains day-to-day. Santiago Espinal will occupy second base again and it will be Stuart Fairchild in the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com Today, 11:53 am

  • Goes through full workout
    Ibanez (hamstring) went through a full workout at second base on the field Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Advice: McCosky added that Ibanez didn't appear to be favoring his left hamstring at all. The veteran utility player would appear to be close to beginning a rehab assignment, with a return before the end of the month possible. Once he rejoins the Tigers, most of Ibanez's playing time figures to come against lefties. Rotowire.com Today, 11:16 am

  • Yankees send DJ LaMahieu on rehab assignment
    Yankees sent DJ LaMahieu on a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset.

    Advice: The team was targeting LaMahieu to make a rehab assignment tonight and it looks like they are right on schedule with the 35-year-old. LaMahieu has been recovering from a fractured foot he suffered in the spring and could be a nice boost for the Yankees’ offense who have scored zero runs in two of their past three games. It’s unclear when he’ll make his return to the active roster, but this is a step in the right direction for the veteran infielder. Rotoworld Today, 10:36 am

  • Breaks slump with walk-off blast
    Gorman hit a two-run, walk-off home run in his lone at-bat in Monday's 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Gorman was given Monday off, but ultimately entered the game as a defensive replacement. His lone at-bat ended the game, as he took Kyle Nelson deep in the ninth inning to complete the Cardinals' comeback win. Gorman has four homers, 10 RBI, six runs scored and three doubles over 84 plate appearances this season, but he's slashing just .179/.238/.372 and striking out at a 38.1 percent clip, so he's not out of the woods yet. Gorman should continue to play against most right-handers, but he'll rarely be in the lineup versus southpaws. Rotowire.com Today, 10:21 am
     
  • Rehab assignment will be brief
    LeMahieu (foot) has said he expects to play "less than five" rehab games before being activated, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: LeMahieu is beginning a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Tuesday. Assuming the Yankees concur with the infielder's assessment of how many rehab games he will require, it sounds like he could be back as soon as the weekend series in Milwaukee. LeMahieu has been out all season with a a bone bruise and non-displaced fracture in his right foot. Oswaldo Cabrera's production has slowed since a hot start, so LeMahieu should quickly regain his role as the primary third baseman. Rotowire.com Today, 10:13 am
