    • Athletics designate Aledmys Díaz for assignment
      Athletics designated INF Aledmys Díaz for assignment.

      Advice: Díaz has been jettisoned from Oakland’s roster to make room for younger players to come up and get an opportunity moving forward. The 33-year-old veteran infielder signed a two-year, $14.5 million deal prior to last year and finishes his tenure in Oakland with a disastrous .585 OPS with four homers and one steal in 374 plate appearances over 121 games.

    • Jettisoned by Oakland
      The Athletics designated Diaz for assignment Tuesday.

      Advice: Diaz has gone just 3-for-29 in 12 games with the A's this season, and his poor performance has now officially caused him to lose his 40-man roster spot. The 33-year-old owns just a .621 OPS over 32 plate appearances in the minors this season, making it likely he passes through waivers unclaimed. Brett Harris was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:14 pm

    • Taking seat Tuesday
      Merrifield is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Merrifield's playing time has been trending upward lately, starting four of the Phillies' previous six games. However, he'll yield to Brandon Marsh in left field for Tuesday's series opener in Chicago. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:41 pm
       
    • Not in Tuesday's lineup
      Loftin is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rays.

      Advice: Loftin had started each of the previous five games at third base but picked up just one hit during that stretch. CJ Alexander will get the call at the hot corner for Tuesday's contest. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 12:45 pm
       
    • Marlins recall Xavier Edwards from Triple-A
      Marlins recalled INF Xavier Edwards from Triple-A Jacksonville.

      Advice: Edwards is taking the roster spot of Tim Anderson, and he’s likely to see the bulk of reps at shortstop in Anderson’s place. The speedy infielder could help with steals, but isn’t a recommended fantasy option for those who aren’t disparate for help in that category. Rotoworld Tuesday, 12:12 pm
       
    • Recalled from Triple-A
      The Marlins recalled Edwards from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Edwards is taking the roster spot vacated by Tim Anderson, who has been designated for assignment. The switch-hitting Edwards could also get a shot at shortstop in Anderson's place, although he will have to contend with Vidal Brujan there for playing time. Edwards is a potential stolen-base contributor in fantasy should he receive regular reps, although it's a question as to whether he'll ultimately hit enough to be able to take advantage of that speed.

    • Contributes RBI, steal in loss
      Polanco went 1-for-4 with an RBI single and a stolen base in a loss to the Twins on Sunday.

      Advice: Polanco came through with a clutch knock against his former team in the seventh inning, plating Luke Raley to knot the score at 3-3. The veteran infielder, who's now hit safely in four straight, also added his second steal of the campaign, but he couldn't capitalize on another RBI opportunity in the ninth when he left the bases loaded on a game-ending flyout.

    • Davis Schneider is starting in LF on Monday
      Davis Schneider is starting in left field for the Blue Jays on Monday.

      Advice: Despite Schneider not being a full-time player, this will be his fourth start in the team’s last six games. However, he is coming off a rough month of June in which he hit .163/.227/.300 in 26 games with a 28.4 percent strikeout rate to go along with three home runs. He no longer needs to be held on fantasy rosters outside of the deepest formats. Rotoworld Monday, 8:37 am
       
    • Justin Turner drives in lone run for Blue Jays
      Justin Turner went 1-for-4 with an RBI on Sunday against the Yankees.

      Advice: The Jays offense was stifled once again. Turner’s RBI single was their only sign of life and he had three of the team’s six hard-hit balls on the day. The ageless Turner is sporting a respectable .251 average and .734 OPS. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:38 pm
