  • 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 Yesterday, 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 Yesterday, 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 Yesterday, 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 Yesterday, 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 Yesterday, 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 Yesterday, 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 Yesterday, 1:22 pm

  • Ha-Seong Kim draws rare day off on Tuesday night
    Ha-Seong Kim is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Phillies.

    Advice: It’s an extremely rare day off for Kim, who has started every game for San Diego since May 23. The 28-year-old is struggling a little bit over the last few weeks, batting .213 (10-for-47) with two homers and six steals over his last 15 contests. It’ll be Tyler Wade drawing a rare start at shortstop on Tuesday evening against the Phillies. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:14 pm
     
  • Gets breather Tuesday
    Kim is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Philadelphia.

    Advice: It's just the second day off this season for Kim, who is just 4-for-22 across his last eight games. Tyler Wade will receive a start at shortstop Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:07 pm
