  • Up to two spot with Albies out
    Harris will start in center field and bat second for Atlanta in Tuesday's game in Houston.

    Advice: With Ozzie Albies (toe) slated to miss some time, Harris figures to occupy the two hole in the Atlanta lineup indefinitely. It's a nice boost for his immediately fantasy outlook as Tuesday is the first time this season he's batted higher than sixth. Harris is slashing .290/.333/.468 with two homers and one stolen base so far in 2024. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Should face hitters Friday
    Duran (oblique) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Tuesday and expects to face live batters Friday, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: It's an encouraging step for Duran, who recently progressed to mound work after starting the season on the injured list with an oblique strain. The right-hander should face hitters a few times before moving on to a rehab assignment, and he could be back with the Twins before the end of April. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Kris Bryant (back) absent from Tuesday’s lineup
    Kris Bryant (back) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Phillies.

    Advice: Bryant remains out for the third consecutive contest due to back tightness, but there’s no indication that he’ll wind up requiring a trip to the injured list. However, fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status over the next few days. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago

  • Jhoan Duran (oblique) to face hitters on Friday
    Jhoan Duran (oblique) is scheduled to face hitters on Friday in a live batting practice session.

    Advice: Duran completed another bullpen session on Tuesday and will progress to facing hitters later this week for the first time since landing on the injured list last month with a right oblique strain. Barring any setbacks, the hard-throwing 26-year-old closer has a shot at making it back to Minnesota’s bullpen before the end of April, if not sooner. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago
     
  • Summoned to big leagues
    Batten was recalled from Triple-A El Paso by the Padres on Tuesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: Batten will provide some extra infield protection while Jake Cronenworth (calf) is banged up. The 28-year-old put up a .713 OPS with two homers and two steals over 43 games with the big club last season and can handle every infield position as well as the corner outfield spots.

  • DJ LeMahieu (foot) closing in on rehab assignment
    DJ LeMahieu (foot) will begin a minor league rehab assignment later this week.

    Advice: Anthony Volpe has excelled in the leadoff spot for New York, which means that LeMahieu is likely headed for the bottom of Yankees manager Aaron Boone’s lineup card once he’s ready to return. The 35-year-old veteran has been out since spring training due to a non-displaced fracture in his right foot. Rotoworld 20 minutes ago
