    • Rejoining rotation Wednesday
      Pepiot (lower leg) will be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: The 26-year-old righty landed on the shelf with a bruised lower left leg after his May 5 start versus the Mets, but he'll return Wednesday after being sidelined for the 15-day minimum. Any workload limitations for Pepiot will likely be minor given the brevity of his absence. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago
       
    • Returning from suspension Sunday
      Blanco (suspension) will be added to Houston's active roster to start Sunday at Oakland, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The Astros unsurprisingly won't waste any time reinserting Blanco into the rotation upon the completion of his 10-game ban. The right-hander threw live batting practice Monday and shouldn't face any significant limitations in his first start back. Rotowire.com 42 minutes ago
       
    • Cash: Ryan Pepiot starting Wednesday vs. Red Sox
      Ryan Pepiot (leg) will start on Wednesday against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Pepiot will be activated to take the ball on Wednesday against Boston after landing on the injured list earlier this month with a leg bruise after being hit by a 107.5 mph comebacker. The 26-year-old righty gets a decent matchup right away against the Red Sox at pitcher-friendly Tropicana Field. Rotoworld 43 minutes ago
       
    • Espada: Ronel Blanco likely back Sunday vs. A’s
      Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters Ronel Blanco will likely start on Sunday against the Athletics.

      Advice: Blanco is currently serving an automatic 10-game suspension for violating the league’s illegal foreign substance rules, but he’s in line for a tasty matchup in his return against the struggling Athletics. Fantasy managers should prepare to get him back in their lineups later this week. Rotoworld Today, 2:12 pm
       
    • Luis Matos batting third on Tuesday vs. Pirates
      Luis Matos is batting third on Tuesday against the Pirates.

      Advice: Giants manager Bob Melvin has bumped a sizzling-hot Matos up to the heart of the order for the first time this season. The 22-year-old former top prospect has batted a sublime .385 (10-for-26) with two homers and a staggering 16 RBI in seven contests since returning to the majors back on May 12. He’s absolutely worthy of a speculative roster spot in all fantasy formats, despite some lackluster underlying quality of contact metrics. Rotoworld Today, 2:01 pm
       
    • Running bases
      Lewis (quadriceps) ran the bases Monday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

      Advice: After starting with some light running last week, Lewis was able to run the bases for the first time Monday as he continues to rehab from a right quad strain. It's expected that Lewis will need a rehab assignment before returning, which could push his timetable for return into early June. Rotowire.com Today, 1:42 pm

    • Royce Lewis (quad) making progress in recovery
      Royce Lewis (quad) progressed to running the bases on Monday.

      Advice: Lewis will be re-evaluated later this week to determine where he’s at in his rehabilitation process from a severe right quad strain that he suffered back on Opening Day. The 24-year-old is getting close to starting a minor league rehab assignment and could return at some point next month, barring any setbacks. Rotoworld Today, 1:35 pm

    • Missing from Tuesday's lineup
      Caballero is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Caballero will get a day off Tuesday, giving way to Amed Rosario at the shortstop position. Caballero owns a .257/.315/.365 slash line across 164 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 12:00 pm
       
    • Spencer Steer (ankle) remains out Tuesday vs. SD
      Spencer Steer (ankle) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Padres.

      Advice: Steer will miss back-to-back games while dealing with his ankle injury. The 26-year-old will sit with Santiago Espinal at third and Jeimer Candelario again handling duties at first base. Rotoworld Today, 11:40 am
