  • Jeimer Candelario leaves game with apparent injury
    Jeimer Candelario was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Pirates with an apparent injury.

    Advice: Candelario didn’t look right during an eighth-inning at-bat and was replaced by Spencer Steer at first base in the bottom of the eighth inning. There should be an update on his status soon. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago
     
  • Exits after HBP
    Judge was removed from Tuesday's game against the Orioles after getting hit in the hand by a pitch, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: Judge took a 94-mph fastball off his left hand during the third inning of Tuesday's contest. He remained in the game to run the bases and even went back out to cover center field in the top of the fourth, but Trent Grisham pinch hit for him during the bottom of the frame. Judge's willingness to initially stay in the game could signal that his removal was only precautionary, but the Yankees will take a closer look at him and should have an update on his status in the near future.

  • Aaron Judge exits game following HBP on left hand
    Aaron Judge was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Orioles after being hit by a pitch on the left hand.

    Advice: Not good. Judge remained in the contest initially after being drilled by a 95-mph fastball pitch on the left hand in the third inning, but was eventually lifted for a pinch-hitter in the ensuing frame. The 32-year-old generational superstar, who leads the majors with 26 homers and 64 RBI this season, is presumably headed for X-rays to determine whether he suffered any fractures. There should be an update on his status at some point shortly. Stay tuned. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago

  • J.T. Realmuto (knee) aims to return next month
    J.T. Realmuto (knee) told reporters Tuesday that he’s planning to return by next month’s All-Star break.

    Advice: Realmuto is roughly one week removed from right knee surgery to repair a meniscus tear and is hoping to get back into game action, barring any setbacks, in the days leading up to the All-Star break, which begins on July 15. It’s not unrealistic to think he’ll be ready to go afterwards, even if he doesn’t meet that aggressive timeline. Rotoworld 35 minutes ago
     
  • Joey Loperfido dealing with left hand inflammation
    Astros OF prospect Joey Loperfido is dealing with left hand inflammation.

    Advice: This explains why Loperfido has been held out of game action since last Friday when he went 3-for-5 with a triple and three RBI for Triple-A Sugar Land. The 25-year-old slugging prospect, who seems to have a path to at-bats in Houston in the near future, was able to take batting practice on Tuesday and should return to game action this week. It shouldn’t be long before he gets another shot with the Astros, especially with José Abreu no longer in the picture. Rotoworld 43 minutes ago
     
  • Jordan Westburg leaves game with hip discomfort
    Jordan Westburg was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Yankees with left hip discomfort.

    Advice: Westburg collided awkwardly with Yankees slugger Juan Soto while fielding a first-inning grounder at third base and was lifted from the contest in the ensuing frame. It sounds like his early exit was merely for precautionary reasons, but he’ll presumably undergo some additional testing to rule out anything serious. The 25-year-old holds an .836 OPS with 11 homers and six steals in 275 plate appearances this season. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld 51 minutes ago
     
  • Exits early with hip injury
    Westburg left Tuesday's contest with the Yankees in the bottom of the second inning with left hip discomfort, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Westburg struck out swinging to open the game in the top of the first inning and he was later removed from the contest in the bottom of the second. Westburg will certainly undergo imaging on his hip to determine the severity of the injury, but in the meantime, Ramon Urias has replaced him at third base against New York.

  • Blue Jays release Daniel Vogelbach
    Blue Jays released 1B Daniel Vogelbach.

    Advice: Vogelbach went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment last week. The 31-year-old slugger struggled to a .578 OPS with one homer in 79 plate appearances over 31 games this season in his Blue Jays debut. He should be able to latch on somewhere as a bench option, but his days as a relevant fantasy contributor in deeper mixed leagues are probably finished. Rotoworld Today, 4:45 pm
     
  • Willson Contreras (forearm) makes rehab debut at DH
    Willson Contreras (forearm) went 1-for-3 with a run scored on Tuesday in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Memphis.

    Advice: Contreras got in a handful of at-bats at designated hitter in his first minor league rehab contest since undergoing surgery back in early May to repair a left forearm fracture. There’s a strong possibility he’s back for St. Louis before the end of the month. Rotoworld Today, 4:30 pm
