    • Follow-up exam on June 5
      Encarnacion-Strand (wrist) will have a follow-up exam on June 5, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

      Advice: That will be the four-week mark of Encarnacion-Strand's projected 4-to-6 week timetable as he recovers from a fracture in his right wrist, so it would appear he's not going to make it back on the early side of that timeline. Encarnacion-Strand would presumably require a rehab assignment before returning. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 12:55 pm
       
    • Idle again Tuesday
      Turang is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

      Advice: Turang isn't starting for a second straight game, with southpaw Trevor Rogers on the bump for Tuesday's contest. Instead, Andruw Monasterio will lead off and play second base. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 12:50 pm
       
    • Lane Thomas starting rehab assignment in Double-A
      Lane Thomas (knee) is beginning a rehab assignment Tuesday with Double-A Harrisburg.

      Advice: Thomas has been on the injured list since near the end of April due to a sprained left MCL. The outfielder will likely need a week or so of rehab appearances, but then could return to the Washington lineup near the end of May. Thomas got off to a slow start prior to the injury, but was a solid fantasy option in 2023. Rotoworld Tuesday, 5:43 am

    • Homers in first game of twin bill
      Olson went 3-for-8 with a home run, a walk and two total RBI across both games of Monday's doubleheader split with San Diego.

      Advice: Olson did most of his damage in Game 1, swatting a solo homer and adding another RBI on a single. The first baseman has gotten off to a slow start this season with a .230/.332/.410 slash line and just six homers through 44 games after going deep a career-high 54 times last year. Olson has been perking up with the bat of late, though, hitting .393 (11-for-28) with two home runs and seven RBI over his past eight contests. Rotowire.com Monday, 11:43 pm
       
    • Sparks rally Monday
      Perez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-3 win over the Tigers.

      Advice: It was a close game until the sixth inning, when Perez ignited a six-run rally for the Royals with his solo shot. The catcher has hit safely in six straight games, going 10-for-21 (.476) in that span. the homer was his first since May 3. Perez remains one of the top hitters in baseball this season with a .341/.404/.565 slash line, nine long balls, 38 RBI, 19 runs scored and 11 doubles over 47 contests.

      Yelich went 0-for-3 with two walks, two steals and a run scored in Monday's loss to Miami.

First, the Brewers outfielder stole second before catching starter Ryan Weathers off guard on a throw back from his catcher, taking the opportunity to swipe home.

    • Christian Yelich steals two bases Monday in loss
      Christian Yelich walked twice and stole two bases on Monday in the Brewers’ extra-inning loss to the Marlins.

      Advice: Yelich walked and stole second base in the sixth inning before making a daring heads-up decision to steal home on Marlins starter Ryan Weathers later in the frame. It was his first multi-steal performance since back on Opening Day and just the 16th time he’s accomplished the feat in his career. Rotoworld Monday, 7:04 pm
       
    • On bench for Game 2
      Merrill is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader in Atlanta.

      Advice: Merrill started in center field in Game 1 and went 1-for-4 with two RBI, as he brought home San Diego's first two runs on a groundout and a single. Jose Azocar will take over in center field for the nightcap. Rotowire.com Monday, 2:43 pm
