• Rafael Devers (knee) set to return on Wednesday
    Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters Rafael Devers (knee) will return for Wednesday’s contest against the Guardians.

    Advice: Devers has been limited to just 12 plate appearances since April 11 due to separate knee and shoulder injuries. All indications are that the 27-year-old franchise cornerstone won’t wind up requiring a trip to the injured list and should return to Boston’s lineup on Wednesday night following a five-game absence due to a bone bruise in his left knee.

  • José Ramírez homers, Guardians roll past Red Sox
    José Ramírez walloped a solo homer on Tuesday, powering the Guardians to a 4-1 victory over the Red Sox.

    Advice: Ramírez doubled Cleveland’s lead with an eighth-inning solo shot off Red Sox reliever Cam Booser. It was his fourth round-tripper of the season. He’s started to heat up over the last few contests, recording at least one hit in seven of his last eight games since April 14, and also has a pair of big flies during that span.

  • Exits rehab game early
    LeMahieu (foot) was forced to exit his rehab start with Double-A Somerset in the second inning, Randy Miller of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Advice: LeMahieu left the contest after striking out in the top of first frame and playing third base in the bottom of the inning. He was making his first start with Somerset and was expected to appear in three more contests before returning to the major-league roster. The 35-year-old is now set to undergo examinations on his foot in New York on Wednesday according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. More information on his status will be provided following the testing, but it certainly appears as if LeMahieu suffered a setback in his recovery of a bone bruise and fracture in his right foot.

  • DJ LeMahieu exits rehab debut with foot soreness
    DJ LeMahieu was removed from Tuesday’s minor league rehab game for Double-A Somerset due to right foot soreness.

    Advice: It’s not what you want to see. LeMahieu struck out in his lone plate appearances and lasted just one inning at third base in his rehab assignment debut before leaving the contest. It’s a notable development since he was expected to play at least a couple innings in this one. The 35-year-old veteran, who has been out since spring training due to a non-displaced fracture in his right foot, is heading back to New York to be re-evaluated. Not good. Rotoworld Today, 4:23 pm

  • Royce Lewis (quad) to be re-evaluated this week
    Twins general manager Derek Faley told reporters Royce Lewis (quad) will be re-evaluated later this week.

    Advice: Lewis resumed baseball activities last week as he continues his recovery from a severe right quad strain that he suffered back on Opening Day. There should be a clearer timetable for his return following his latest evaluation. Rotoworld Today, 4:12 pm

  • Moving closer to return
    Stefanic (quadriceps) has been taking ground balls and batting practice, and he is scheduled to resume running progression Tuesday, per MLB.com.

    Advice: Stefanic landed on the injured list March 28 after straining his left quad in his first Cactus League contest in late February. The 28-year-old's progress toward a return was slowed by a setback mid-March, but he appears to be back on the road to recovery. Stefanic could feasibly be ready to resume game action by the end of April, though he will likely need a minor-league rehab assignment given that he logged only one plate appearance in spring training.

  • Not in Tuesday's lineup
    Toro is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Toro started the previous 14 games but will take a seat after he posted a .686 OPS during that stretch. Tyler Nevin will man the hot corner while Esteury Ruiz bats leadoff for the A's. Rotowire.com Today, 3:48 pm
     
  • Not starting Tuesday
    Biggio isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup for Tuesday's game against Kansas City.

    Advice: Biggio will get a day to rest Tuesday after going 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored during Monday's victory. His absence will allow Davis Schneider to start at the keystone while batting sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 2:15 pm

  • Should start Wednesday
    Manager Alex Cora said Devers (knee), who is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians, is scheduled to start as the designated hitter Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republicanreports.

    Advice: Devers was originally expected to rejoin the lineup for Tuesday's series opener, but the club decided he could use one more day, especially with the weather forecast for Tuesday being questionable. The veteran third baseman hasn't seen the field since April 17 due to a bone bruise on his left knee. Rotowire.com Today, 1:35 pm
