  • Exits with groin tightness
    Lewis was removed from Tuesday's game versus the Tigers due to left groin tightness, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: It's unclear exactly when Lewis suffered the injury, though it's possible he may have tweaked his groin running out of the batter's box during his last at-bat in the third inning. The Twins are considering him day-to-day, so there's a chance he was simply removed as a precaution given his injury history. Rotowire.com Today, 6:12 pm

  • Royce Lewis exits game with groin tightness
    Royce Lewis was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Tigers with left groin tightness.

    Advice: Here we go again. The Twins are calling Lewis day-to-day following his early exit from Tuesday’s series opener against the Tigers, so it’s possible his removal was merely out of an abundance of caution. We’ll see. The injury-plagued 25-year-old burgeoning fantasy star was 1-for-2 with a two-run double off Tigers ace Tarik Skubal prior to leaving the contest. There should be some clarity on his status prior to Wednesday’s showdown. Rotoworld Today, 5:59 pm

  • Launches rehab assignment
    Baez (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

    Advice: Baez has been out since June 11 while dealing with lumbar inflammation, but he now appears to be on the cusp of returning to the major-league roster. The shortstop will likely play in multiple games with Toledo before being activated from the 10-day injured list. Baez has struggled to a .183/.209/.247 slash line with one home run, 25 RBI, 15 runs scored and six stolen bases over 53 games this season, not providing much value to fantasy managers.

  • Evan Carter (back) progressing towards return
    Evan Carter (back) is expected to progress to facing live pitching again this week.

    Advice: Carter resumes swinging a bat earlier this week and should be ready to face some actual live pitching in the coming days. The 21-year-old former top prospect landed on the injured list back in early June with a stress reaction in his back and was expected to miss at least one month. He’s going to need a minor league rehab assignment to get back up to speed, but it sounds like he could be back before the end of July, barring any setbacks. Rotoworld Today, 5:38 pm

  • IKF week-to-week with right knee sprain
    Isiah Kiner-Falefa is week-to-week with a right knee sprain.

    Advice: Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters Tuesday that Kiner-Falefa is going to require more than a minimum stay on the injured list after suffering a right knee sprain. There isn’t an official timeline for his return, but the absence of any sort of clarity means he’s most likely out until after the All-Star break. Rotoworld Today, 5:35 pm

  • Harrison Bader makes precautionary exit Tuesday
    Harrison Bader was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Nationals for precautionary reasons after an awkward collision with the right-center field wall.

    Advice: The Mets declined to cite a specific reason for Bader’s removal from the contest. However, MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo notes that his left arm hit the right-center field wall awkwardly during that third-inning collision and he appeared pretty shaken up afterwards. It’s possible he’ll be evaluated for a concussion as well just to be safe. There should be some sort of update on his status following the contest. Rotoworld Today, 5:08 pm
     
  • Exits early Tuesday
    Bader was removed from Tuesday's game against the Nationals due to an apparent injury, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Advice: Bader crashed into the outfield wall while attempting to make a catch in the third inning, and he was replaced in center field by Brandon Nimmo to begin the fourth. It's not immediately clear what is bothering Bader, but the Mets will take a closer look at him and should offer more details relatively soon. Rotowire.com Today, 4:51 pm
     
  • Out with back fracture
    Davis was placed on Triple-A Iowa's 7-day injured list Tuesday with a back fracture, Tommy Birch of Des Moines Register reports.

    Advice: The 24-year-old is without a timeline for his return but won't be returning to the field anytime soon. Davis is hitting just .229 through 36 games for Iowa this season, though he's shown off his power and plate discipline with 10 home runs and a 19:31 BB:K. Rotowire.com Today, 3:57 pm

  • Sitting versus lefty
    Blackmon isn't in the Rockies' lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Brewers, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Advice: The left-handed bat of Blackmon will step out of the lineup Tuesday versus fellow southpaw Dallas Keuchel and the Brewers. Hunter Goodman will move into right field as a result while Elias Diaz serves as the DH, allowing Jacob Stallings to start behind the plate and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 3:48 pm
