    • Royce Lewis (quad) plays 3B on Tuesday at AAA
      Royce Lewis (quad) played seven innings at third base on Tuesday for Triple-A St. Paul.

      Advice: Lewis went 0-for-3 at the dish and made his first appearance in the field since kicking off a minor league rehab assignment last week. The 24-year-old third baseman will presumably require at least a handful of additional tune-up contests to get back up to speed before returning to Minnesota. This was certainly a step in the right direction as he works his way back from a severe quad strain that sent him to the injured list back on Opening Day. Rotoworld Tuesday, 3:26 pm

    • Jeimer Candelario back in the lineup on Monday
      Jeimer Candelario (neck) is back in the lineup on Monday against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Candelario missed two games with a neck injury but is back in the lineup at third base and hitting third in the order. The 30-year-old has been turning the corner a bit in May, slashing .257/.313/.432 in 20 games in May with two home runs, 10 RBI, and just a 16.3 percent strikeout rate. He seems like a good bet to go on a hot streak in the coming weeks. Rotoworld Monday, 11:29 am
       
    • Back in lineup Monday
      Candelario (neck) is in the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

      Advice: He was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to neck stiffness and held out Sunday as well, but evidently Candelario is feeling better. The 30-year-old will return to third base and bat third against right-hander Lance Lynn. While the rest of the Reds' offense has sunk in May, Candelario has rebounded with an .835 OPS, five doubles and a couple homers in his last 17 games. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:50 am
       
    • Rehab to continue at Triple-A
      Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said Sunday that Lewis (quadricep) responded well to his first two minor-league rehab games, but the 24-year-old remains without a clear timeline to return from the 10-day injured list, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. "But he's going to play this week, and we're going to see how he's doing," Baldelli said.

      Advice: Lewis went 3-for-9 with a double, two runs and a stolen base over his two rehab games this weekend. The stolen base in particular was an encouraging sign that he's no longer slowed by his right quad strain, though the Twins have told him to play it safe and not attempt any more stolen bases during his rehab assignment. The Twins have been guarded about when Lewis may return, but given the team's need for offense, he may not need more than a week in the minors. Lewis may be limited to designated-hitter duties initially when he returns to limit the wear on his legs. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:34 pm

    • Still out Sunday
      Candelario (neck) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

      Advice: Candelario will miss out on a second straight start due to neck stiffness, but he said he'll be available off the bench for the series finale, per Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer. Santiago Espinal will fill in at third base for Candelario. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:10 am
       
    • Jeimer Candelario out Sunday with neck issue
      Jeimer Candelario (neck) is out Sunday against the Dodgers.

      Advice: Candelario was scratched from the lineup Saturday with stiffness in his neck, and he’ll miss at least one more game. Santiago Espinal gets the start in Candelario’s absence. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:08 am
       
    • Scratched Saturday
      Candelario was scratched from the Reds' lineup Saturday due to neck stiffness.

      Advice: The Reds haven't provided any information on the severity of Candelario's injury, but it is apparently bothering him enough to hold him out of Saturday's contest. Santiago Espinal will enter the lineup to cover third base while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 3:21 pm
       
    • Jeimer Candelario scratched due to neck stiffness
      Jeimer Candelario was scratched from the Reds’ starting lineup on Saturday due to stiffness in his neck.

      Advice: The issue is believed to be minor and the 30-year-old infielder is considered day-to-day. Santiago Espinal will start in his place at the hot corner and will bat ninth for the Reds against Walker Buehler and the Dodgers on Saturday evening in Cincinnati.

    • Royce Lewis (quad) heads out on rehab assignment
      Royce Lewis (quad) will begin a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

      Advice: The dynamic 24-year-old has been shelved since suffering his quad injury while running the bases on Opening Day. He should only need a couple of games there to get his timing back before rejoining the Twins’ lineup. He has always been able to produce when he’s in the lineup, but staying off of the injured list has proven to be quite difficult for Lewis early on in his career. Rotoworld Friday, 1:13 pm
