• 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

  • Matt Manning starting second game of Tuesday DH
    Matt Manning will serve as the Tigers’ 27th man for Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Manning will take the ball for the nightcap of Tuesday’s twin bill in Detroit. It’ll be his third big-league start this season as he’s gotten the ball a couple times in early-season doubleheaders. There’s limited streaming appeal here, but he might be worthy of a dice roll in extremely deep mixed leagues. Rotoworld Today, 3:24 pm

  • Mike Trout to undergo left knee surgery
    Mike Trout will undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan and Alden González.

    Advice: It’s a devastating development for the Angels, and fantasy managers, as Trout was in the midst of a remarkable renaissance campaign this season with a robust .867 OPS to accompany a major league-leading 10 home runs and six steals through 29 games. Passan and González add that the procedure isn’t expected to be season-ending. However, it appears likely that Trout is going to require an extended absence. Rotoworld Today, 3:21 pm

    Advice: Trout had started all 29 games for the Angels through the first month of the season, but he'll now be sidelined for the foreseeable future due to the meniscus tear. The 32-year-old doesn't have an official timeline for his return but isn't expected to be in danger of missing the rest of the season. Rotowire.com Today, 3:19 pm

  • Added as 27th man
    The Tigers added Manning to the active roster to start the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Manning will be making his third start of the season Tuesday. He looked good during his first two big league outings, posting a 2.92 ERA and 0.89 WHIP across 12.1 innings, though he will likely be sent back to Triple-A Toledo after Tuesday's game. Rotowire.com Today, 3:16 pm

  • Ryan Helsley nets 10th save Tuesday vs. Tigers
    Ryan Helsley tossed a perfect ninth inning on Tuesday against the Tigers to collect his major league-leading 10th save of the season.

    Advice: Helsley got the call to protect a slim one-run margin in the final frame after St. Louis stormed ahead with a pair of runs in the top of the frame and needed just 10 pitches (10 strikes) to slam the door. He’s converted 10 of his 11 save opportunities this season and continues rolling. Rotoworld Today, 3:14 pm
     
  • Headed to Boston
    The Red Sox acquired Horn from the White Sox on Tuesday in exchange for cash, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: Horn will recapture a 40-man roster spot as he moves from Chicago to Boston, though he will remain in the minors at Triple-A Worcester. The 26-year-old southpaw has yet to pitch in an MLB game, and his debut doesn't seem on the horizon after allowing 13 runs in 10.1 innings to begin the year with Chicago's Triple-A affiliate.
