  • Facing pitch count in return
    Eovaldi (groin) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list and will start Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, but Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said the right-hander will be on an unspecified pitch count, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

    Advice: The 34-year-old suffered the groin strain during his May 2 start against Washington and will rejoin the big-league rotation without embarking on a rehab assignment. Eovaldi shouldn't be expected to pitch deep into Tuesday's contest given the workload limitations. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Getting breather versus lefty
    Merrill isn't in the Padres' lineup Tuesday against the Marlins.

    Advice: The left-handed bat of Merrill will step out of the lineup Tuesday as the Marlins prepare to send Jesus Luzardo to the mound. Jose Azocar will fill the void in center field and bat eighth while Merrill sits. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Dealing with back tightness
    Carter was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with lower-back tightness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The 21-year-old missed some time in mid-May due to a back issue, and it apparently remains bothersome as the month comes to a close. Carter is without a hit in his past 20 at-bats, and the injury could help explain some of those struggles. It's unclear how long the young outfielder is expected to be sidelined, but the organization will likely want him to get some at-bats in the minors before he rejoins the big club.

  • Not starting versus lefty
    Peralta isn't in the Padres' lineup Tuesday against the Marlins.

    Advice: With lefty Jesus Luzardo on the mound for Miami, the lefty-hitting Peralta will watch the beginning of Tuesday's game from the dugout. Manny Machado will instead operate as San Diego's DH while Donovan Solano picks up a start at third base, batting sixth. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting down Tuesday
    Campusano isn't in the Padres' lineup for Tuesday's game against Miami.

    Advice: Campusano will get a day to clear his head Tuesday after going 0-for-11 across his last five games. Kyle Higashioka will fill in behind the dish and bat ninth. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
     
  • Tuesday's game postponed
    Skubal won't start as scheduled Tuesday against the Pirates since the game has been postponed due to inclement weather, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The contest will be made up via a straight doubleheader Wednesday. The Tigers haven't officially announced their updated pitching plans, but Skubal should start one of those contests. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago

  • Tuesday's start rained out
    Jones and the Pirates will not play the Tigers on Tuesday due to inclement weather, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Advice: Tuesday's contest will be made up during a doubleheader Wednesday, and Jones will presumably pitch one of the two games. The 22-year-old right-hander owns a 3.05 ERA and 0.97 WHIP on the year, though he's allowed three earned runs in six innings during both of his last two outings. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago

  • Pirates vs. Tigers postponed Tuesday due to rain
    Tuesday’s game between the Pirates and Tigers has been postponed due to inclement weather.

    Advice: It’s fitting that only Mother Nature herself could prevent fantasy managers from watching a highly-anticipated pitcher’s duel on Tuesday evening between Detroit ace Tarik Skubal and Pirates electrifying rookie Jared Jones. It’ll be made up as a doubleheader on Wednesday instead. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago

  • Lands on injured list
    Wade (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: The 30-year-old returned to the lineup Monday against the Phillies after he suffered the hamstring injury over the weekend, but he aggravated the issue and will miss at least the next week and a half. Wade has been one of the more surprisingly productive players in MLB through the first two months of the season with a .333/.470/.426 slash line through 52 games. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
