    • Ramón Laureano (back) might require IL stint
      Ramón Laureano (back) might require a trip to the injured list.

      Advice: Laureano remains day-to-day with back soreness, but Braves manager Brian Snitker told reporters Tuesday that it’s morphed into more of an oblique issue at this point. It’s possible he’ll wind up requiring a trip to the injured list later this week. Rotoworld Today, 1:36 pm
       
    • Could go on IL with oblique issue
      Laureano's back pain has moved toward his oblique and he may now require a trip to the 10-day injured list, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Laureano has already been shelved for nearly a week and it appears he may now miss quite a bit more time. The outfielder would be eligible to return before the All-Star break if an IL move is made soon, but being held out until the second half is probably likelier at this point. Adam Duvall has been handling right field with Laureano out. Rotowire.com Today, 1:36 pm
       
    • Not in lineup Tuesday
      Laureano (back) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Giants.

      Advice: Laureano hasn't played in nearly a week due to a nagging back issue. The team had expressed hope that he might be ready to go Tuesday, so it's possible it might now consider a stint on the injured list. Adam Duvall will be in right field again Tuesday.

    • Ramon Laureano (back) remains out Tuesday
      Ramon Laureano (back) is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Giants.

      Advice: Laureano has been out since the weekend while dealing with soreness in his back. There was some hope the 29-year-old could return Tuesday against San Francisco, but he’ll get at least one more day of rest with Forrest Wall getting the start in left field and Adam Duvall playing right.

    • Kerry Carpenter (back) making slow progress
      Tigers manager AJ Hinch told reporters that Kerry Carpenter (back) continues to make progress and participate in baseball activities.

      Advice: Hinch also noted that the progress is still slow for Carpenter as he works his way back from the lumbar injury that has sidelined the 26-year-old since the end of May. The outfielder will surely need a rehab assignment after missing over a month, but it’s feasible that Carpenter could help fantasy rosters and Detroit after the All-Star break.

    • Two stolen bases against Nats
      Bader went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two stolen bases in Monday's extra-inning win over the Nationals.

      Advice: Batting second against southpaw MacKenzie Gore, Bader was disruptive from the top of the order, singling and swiping second base in the sixth and seventh innings. The 30-year-old center fielder has reeled off four two-hit performances in his last six starts, batting .360 (9-for-25) during that stretch with three doubles, two homers, four steals, four RBI and eight runs.

    • Could return Tuesday
      Laureano (back) might be ready to rejoin the Atlanta lineup Tuesday against the Giants, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

      Advice: The 29-year-old hasn't played since Wednesday due to a sore back. "He's not capable (of playing yet)," manager Brian Snitker said Saturday. "We won't probably use him off the bench. We'll shoot for Tuesday, with tomorrow and the day off. There is enough still going on that I'm hoping with these extra days we can get him built up." Laureano has looked good in his new uniform, going 9-for-35 (.257) with four doubles and a homer over 11 games. In his absence, Adam Duvall has started four straight games in right field.

    • Garrett Mitchell reaches twice in 2024 debut
      Garrett Mitchell singled and walked in three plate appearances off the bench in his season debut Monday against the Rockies.

      Advice: The single was hit 108 mph, so this was definitely a nice start for Mitchell. It’ll take consistent playing time to make him a factor in mixed leagues, so he’s probably not an option right now. He offers plenty of upside, though. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:19 pm
       
    • Not in lineup versus southpaw
      Mitchell is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest in Colorado.

      Advice: Mitchell was activated from the 60-day injured list earlier Monday but will begin his first game back on the bench. It's not a surprise, as the Rockies are starting lefty Austin Gomber, and most of the playing time for the left-handed hitting Mitchell figures to come versus righties. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:51 pm
