  • Wenceel Pérez launches two homers in Tigers’ win
    Wenceel Pérez homered from both sides of the plate in the Tigers’ lopsided win over the Cardinals in the nightcap of Tuesday’s twin bill.

    Advice: Pérez accomplished the extremely rare feat by taking southpaw Steven Matz deep in the second inning before homering off righty reliever Ryan Fernandez a couple frames later. It was his firs career multi-homer effort. The 24-year-old rookie infielder has held his own so far in a samll sample, batting .302 (13-for-43) with three homers and two steals in 15 games.

  • Moves to 60-day IL
    The Angels transferred Stefanic (quadriceps) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: A quad strain has kept Stefanic on the injured list since the beginning of the season, and his move to the 60-day IL pushes his eligible return date back to May 27. He's been fielding grounders and taking batting practice and has recently resumed a running program, though it's unclear how far away he is from beginning a rehab assignment.

  • Sitting for nightcap
    Winn isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against Detroit, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Winn went 1-for-4 during St. Louis' Game 1 victory, and he'll get a breather to conclude Tuesday's twin bill. Brandon Crawford will fill in at shortstop and bat eighth during the nightcap. Rotowire.com Today, 3:41 pm

  • Resting Tuesday
    Cruz isn't in the Pirates' lineup Tuesday against the Athletics, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Advice: Cruz is slashing .094/.121/.094 against left-handed pitchers this season, so he will get a day off with Alex Wood set to take the mound for Oakland. Alika Williams will take his place at shortstop while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 3:29 pm
     
  • On bench versus lefty
    Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: For the first time this season, Lux will begin the game on the bench for a second consecutive game. This is due to Arizona starting a southpaw for two straight games with Jordan Montgomery on the mound Tuesday. Miguel Rojas will start at second base and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 3:04 pm
     
  • Tim Anderson (thumb) not in Tuesday’s lineup
    Tim Anderson (thumb) is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Anderson suffered a left thumb sprain during Monday’s series opener. If there’s a positive takeaway it’s that he hasn’t landed on the injured list yet so fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 2:56 pm

  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Brewers optioned Miller to Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

    Advice: Miller has appeared in seven games for the Brewers this season, tallying just one hit in 12 at-bats while striking out five times. He'll be forced back to the minors following the addition of Tyler Black to the big-league squad, though Miller could return to Milwaukee if the Brewers need to call on their organizational infield depth.
