  • Resting Tuesday
    Toro isn't in the Athletics' lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Royals.

    Advice: Toro will sit down for Tuesday's series opener after going 2-for-14 during Oakland's previous series against the Twins. Tyler Nevin, who was just promoted from Triple-A Las Vegas, will take over at third base and bat seventh. Rotowire.com Today, 2:51 pm

  • Getting breather against LHP
    Biggio isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Biggio will get a day off versus southpaw Austin Gomber and the Rockies. Enrique Hernandez will get the nod at third base instead while batting seventh. Rotowire.com Today, 2:33 pm

  • Cubs bring back Miles Mastrobuoni on Tuesday
    Cubs recalled INF/OF Miles Mastrobuoni from Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Mastrobuoni gets the call to replace an injured Mike Tauchman (groin) on Chicago’s active roster ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Giants. The 28-year-old offers plenty of defensive versatility, but has been a non-factor at the dish for several years at this juncture. He can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.

  • Selected to majors
    The Athletics selected Nevin's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

    Advice: Nevin has slashed .296/.365/.667 at Triple-A since being DFA'd toward the end of May, and his resurgence in the minors has now allowed him to reclaim a spot on the A's. The 27-year-old has experience at the corner infield and corner outfield positions, and his versatility could allow him to start on a somewhat regular basis. J.D. Davis was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 2:17 pm

  • A’s bring back Tyler Nevin from Triple-A Las Vegas
    Athletics selected the contract of INF Tyler Nevin from Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Advice: Nevin is back in Oakland’s corner infield mix for Tuesday’s game against the Royals after spending the last few weeks back in the minors waiting for another opportunity at the highest level. He’s not much of a factor for fantasy managers outside of AL-only formats. Rotoworld Today, 2:13 pm

  • Athletics designate J.D. Davis for assignment
    Athletics designated INF J.D. Davis for assignment.

    Advice: Davis latched on with Oakland on a one-year, $2.5 million pact back in - after a highly-publicized contractual dispute with San Francisco, but winds up being jettisoned after posting a .670 OPS with four homers and five RBI in 135 plate appearances in 39 games. The 31-year-old has some appeal as a lefty-mashing bench specialist, but he’s pretty much a non-factor for fantasy purposes at this stage of his career. Rotoworld Today, 2:09 pm

  • Absent from Cubs lineup
    Morel is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: Morel has only one hit over his last five games and tough right-hander Logan Webb will take the ball Tuesday for San Francisco, so it's a sensible spot for a day off. David Bote is getting the call at third base while Morel regroups. Rotowire.com Today, 1:59 pm

  • Not in Tuesday's lineup
    Walls (illness) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game in Minnesota.

    Advice: It's not clear whether Walls remains under the weather or if the Rays had planned to start Jose Caballero at shortstop in this one regardless. Walls has been the club's primary shortstop since coming off the injured list earlier this month. Rotowire.com Today, 1:52 pm

  • 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
