    • TJ Friedl out Tuesday with hamstring injury
      TJ Friedl (hamstring) is absent from the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Pirates.

      Advice: No surprise here after Friedl was forced to leave Monday’s series opener with right hamstring tightness following a stellar defensive play in center field. The 28-year-old outfielder had started 17 consecutive contests since returning from the injured list back on May 29. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. There’s optimism he’ll avoid a trip to the injured list, but that could change if he’s not ready to return in a couple days. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago
       
    • Idle Tuesday
      Friedl (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

      Advice: Friedl was removed from Monday's loss in the fifth inning after sustaining a hamstring injury. While it's only considered tightness, Friedl will be held out of Tuesday's lineup as Stuart Fairchild will bat leadoff and play center field instead. Friedl could return for Wednesday's series finale, but with a team day off Thursday, the Reds could opt to play it safe with the 28-year-old. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
       
    • Guardians activate José Ramírez off paternity list
      Guardians activated INF José Ramírez off the paternity list.

      Advice: Ramírez missed the final two games of the Blue Jays series while his wife gave birth to their second child. The 31-year-old has been outstanding in 2024 with 18 homers and 11 stolen bases. Kyle Manzardo was optioned to create room on the roster. Rotoworld Today, 11:13 am
       
    • Returns from paternity leave
      The Guardians activated Ramirez (personal) from the paternity list Tuesday.

      Advice: Ramirez missed the final two games of the series in Toronto over the weekend as he welcomed a new addition to the family. He's now back for the start of the Guardians' three-game set versus the Mariners, which kicks off Tuesday night. Rotowire.com Today, 11:12 am
       
    • Dealing with hamstring injury
      Friedl suffered a hamstring injury and exited Monday's 4-1 loss to the Pirates in the bottom of the fifth inning, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

      Advice: Friedl made a diving catch in center field, robbing Nick Gonzales of an extra-base hit in the bottom of the fifth and injuring his hamstring in the process. Manager David Bell said Friedl had a full range of motion and strength, stating that the hamstring was "just tight." The outfielder's status will be worth monitoring ahead of Tuesday's matchup with Pittsburgh, but it appears as if Friedl avoided a significant injury. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:11 pm
       
    • Picks up fourth win
      Sanchez (4-3) went seven innings and allowed two runs (one earned) to earn the win Monday against the Padres. He gave up six hits, one walk, and struck out five.

      Advice: Sanchez was impressive Monday against San Diego, as he allowed only one extra-base hit. It was the eighth start this season in which he's allowed one earned run or fewer. The lefty matched his season high for innings pitched and lowered his ERA to 2.91 in the process. The 27-year-old is tentatively scheduled to pitch again this weekend versus the Diamondbacks.

    • Cristopher Sánchez goes seven in win over Padres
      Cristopher Sánchez was charged with two runs (one earned) over seven innings on Monday in a win over the Padres.

      Advice: Sánchez limited San Diego to just six hits over seven frames as their lone runs of the contest came on a fifth-inning ground out from Jake Cronenworth and a run-scoring double by Donovan Solano in the seventh inning. He struck out five and only issued one walk, getting plenty of run support from Philadelphia’s offense to cruise to his fourth win of the year. He’ll bring a strong 2.91 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 66/24 K/BB ratio across 77 1/3 innings (14 starts) into a home outing on Sunday against the Diamondbacks. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:32 pm
       
    • William Contreras (head) available off bench
      William Contreras is available to come off the bench Monday after leaving Sunday’s game with a head injury.

      Advice: Contreras hasn’t had any concussion symptoms today, so the Brewers are confident that he’s going to be OK. They did have Gary Sánchez start behind the plate tonight, but Contreras is available to hit and play defense. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:20 pm
       
    • Available off bench
      Contreras (head) is available to pinch-hit or enter the game defensively off the bench Monday versus the Angels, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

      Advice: Contreras will be forced to miss his second contest of the season after taking a shot to the head while applying the tag at home plate to finish Sunday's 5-4 win over the Reds, but manager Pat Murphy said Monday that the catcher "is going to be fine." Contreras appears to have avoided any significant injury, which is music to the ears of fantasy managers who have reaped the benefits of his stellar play in 2024. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:09 pm
