  • Taylor Walls remains out Tuesday with illness
    Taylor Walls (illness) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Twins.

    Advice: Walls will sit out his third straight contest due to an ongoing illness, but we’re assuming he’ll be available off the bench in this one, if needed. The 27-year-old should be ready to roll in a couple days, if not sooner. Rotoworld Today, 1:41 pm

  • Taking seat against LHP
    Lopez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Houston.

    Advice: Lopez will avoid a matchup with southpaw Framber Valdez on Tuesday. Instead, Danny Mendick will bat ninth and play second base. Rotowire.com Today, 1:22 pm

  • Getting breather
    Amador is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Amador will get the day off Tuesday after making eight consecutive starts at second base. Alan Trejo will bat ninth and play the keystone. Amador is just 3-for-29 (.103) since being called up. Rotowire.com Today, 12:55 pm

  • Making first-ever start at third
    Crawford (hamstring) will start at third base and bat eighth in Tuesday's game in Miami.

    Advice: It's the first time in Crawford's 14-year major-league career that he's played a position other than shortstop. Crawford had to leave his last game on Sunday versus the Cubs with a left hamstring cramp, but he's ready to roll now. Rotowire.com Today, 12:41 pm
     
  • Three hits in Monday's loss
    Clement went 3-for-4 in Monday's loss to the Red Sox.

    Advice: Getting the nod at third base and batting eighth, the utility infielder out together his fourth straight multi-hit performance in a starting role. Clement's gone 9-for-13 over that blistering stretch with three doubles, a homer, two RBI and three runs as he takes advantage of Bo Bichette's absence to due to a calf issue. Even when Bichette is cleared to return, Clement's hot streak will likely keep him in the starting lineup for a Blue Jays squad scrambling to find offense wherever it can. Rotowire.com Today, 7:32 am

  • Will be out beyond minimum 10 days
    Baez (spine) is without a precise timeline to return from the injured list, but the Tigers are preparing for him to miss more than the minimum 10 days, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Baez's stint on the IL is retroactive to June 9, making him eligible for activation at any point after Tuesday. However, the Tigers don't seem eager to rush Baez back from lumbar spine inflammation, especially after the shortstop had dealt with back pain for much of last season. Baez visited a doctor in Florida this past weekend and received an injection in his back to alleviate the inflammation, and the shot appears to have taken the desired effect since he began participating in light hitting drills Tuesday, per Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. Zach McKinstry and Ryan Kreidler have formed a platoon at shortstop since Baez went on the shelf. Rotowire.com Today, 7:28 am
     
  • Goes yard for first big-league hit
    Jones went 1-for-1 with a solo home run Monday against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Jones was promoted to the majors June 6 and has made just one start since. However, he entered Monday's game as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning and tallied his first big-league hit with a solo home run. Jones will almost certainly remain a bench bat moving forward.

  • Swats 10th homer
    Neto went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-3 win against Milwaukee.

    Advice: Neto provided what turned out to be the winning margin with his two-run shot in the fourth inning. The long ball was his 10th of the season through 260 plate appearances, one more than he hit across 329 plate appearances as a rookie last year. Three of Neto's homers have come over his past six games, and he's produced seven RBI while batting .318 over that span. Rotowire.com Today, 12:18 am

  • Collects three hits Monday
    Rojas went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs and an RBI against the Rockies in Monday's 9-5 victory.

    Advice: With Mookie Betts going down with a fractured left hand Sunday and set to miss several weeks, Rojas appears primed for a near-everyday role at shortstop. He did his best Betts impression Monday, notching three hits for the third time this season and scoring twice. Naturally, fantasy managers shouldn't expect Rojas to come anywhere near Betts' level of production, though the former Miami Marlin is having a solid season at the dish with a .292/.339/.460 slash line, three homers, 10 doubles, 15 RBI, 15 runs and three stolen bases through 121 plate appearances.
