    • Remains out of lineup
      Tucker (shin) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Cardinals, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Tucker exited Monday's 7-4 win over St. Louis after fouling a ball off his right shin and has now missed two straight starts. The Astros are off Thursday, so Tucker could have a shot to return to the lineup Friday, when the club takes on the Angels. Trey Cabbage will cover right field Wednesday.

    • On base four times in return
      Young went 3-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Mets.

      Advice: The center fielder had missed the prior two games due to swelling in his throwing hand, but Young was the Nationals' most effective offensive weapon in his return, collecting half of the team's six hits on the night. The 24-year-old offers basically no power -- his last extra-base hit was a double on May 19 -- but through 49 games this season he's batting .282 with 17 steals, 25 runs and 16 RBI.

    • Initial MRI encouraging
      Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Tuesday that Gasser (elbow) might miss some time but that the first MRI looked "pretty normal," Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

      Advice: The left-hander will receive a second opinion for the tightness and soreness in his elbow, but the initial imaging results are encouraging. Gasser still seems unlikely to avoid a stint on the injured list given it's an elbow issue, but the Brewers have yet to make an official roster move. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:18 pm

    • MRI comes back clean on Robert Gasser’s left elbow
      Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Tuesday that an MRI on Robert Gasser’s left elbow came back clean for any structural damage.

      Advice: It’s an extremely encouraging development for Gasser as it means he’ll likely avoid an extended absence or potential surgery. However, he’s waiting for a second opinion before speaking to reporters. The 25-year-old rookie southpaw is dealing with elbow soreness and tightness, which will almost certainly send him to the injured list, but it doesn’t appear to be a worst-case scenario for now.

    • Ranger Suárez trending towards starting in London
      Ranger Suárez (thumb) played catch on Tuesday without any issues or limitations.

      Advice: Phillies manager Rob Thomson told reporters Suárez is slated to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday and is trending towards taking the ball this weekend in London against the Mets. The 28-year-old southpaw is reportedly feeling much better of late after being hit by a comebacker last Saturday against the Cardinals. X-rays came back negative and it looks like he’ll be ready to take the ball this weekend. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:42 pm
       
    • Kyle Tucker (shin) absent from Tuesday’s lineup
      Kyle Tucker (shin) is absent from the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Cardinals.

      Advice: The encouraging development here for fantasy managers is that X-rays came back negative for any fractures and Tucker hasn’t been placed on the injured list yet following an early exit from Monday’s series opener after fouling a ball off his right shin. It’ll be Mauricio Dubón taking over in right field on Tuesday evening in his absence. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:29 pm

    • Joey Ortiz leading off again Tuesday vs. Phillies
      Joey Ortiz is leading off on Tuesday against the Phillies.

      Advice: Ortiz has been bumped up to the top spot in Milwaukee’s lineup on several occasions over the last few weeks as his breakthrough campaign continues. The 25-year-old rookie infielder is batting .302 (29-for-96) with four homers and two steals over his last 30 games. Perhaps more impressive is the fact that he’s walked more times (16) than he’s struck out (15) during that span. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:26 pm

    • CJ Abrams returns to lineup Tuesday against Mets
      CJ Abrams (shoulder) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Mets.

      Advice: Abrams is back at shortstop and leading off on Tuesday night at Nationals Park following a three-game absence due to shoulder soreness. The 23-year-old probably could’ve used a few days off since he’s been mired in a mini-slump at the dish recently. He’s been phenomenal overall this season with nine homers and eight steals through 53 contests. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:08 pm
       
    • Jacob Young back in lineup Tuesday against Mets
      Jacob Young (hand) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Mets.

      Advice: Young sat out Monday’s series opener due to right hand inflammation stemming from a hit by pitch over the weekend. The 24-year-old speedster is ready to go for Tuesday’s showdown at Nationals Park. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:06 pm
