    • Joey Ortiz (neck) returns to Brewers lineup
      Joey Ortiz is back at third base Monday after a three-game absence due to neck stiffness.

      Advice: Ortiz is leading off with the Brewers facing a lefty tonight. He’ll continue to hit low in the order against righties. Rotoworld Today, 4:00 pm

    • Returns to Milwaukee lineup
      Ortiz (neck) will start at third base and bat leadoff in Monday's game in Colorado.

      Advice: Ortiz has been absent from the Brewers' lineup for the previous three contests due to neck discomfort, but he's been cleared to return for the start of a road trip. The 25-year-old returns to a .275/.380/.455 batting line. Rotowire.com Today, 2:45 pm

    • Free agent after opting out
      The Twins released Kemp on Monday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

      Advice: Kemp had a July 1 opt-out clause in his minor-league contract and decided to exercise it. The utility player slashed .279/.358/.436 with six homers in 46 games with Triple-A St. Paul. He'll now look to latch on in another organization. Rotowire.com Today, 2:09 pm

    • Twins release Tony Kemp from minor league deal
      Twins released INF/OF Tony Kemp.

      Advice: Kemp opted out of his deal with the Twins after hitting .279/.358/.436 in 46 games for Triple-A St Paul. His next organization will be his fourth since exiting Oakland as a free agent; he was let go by the Reds this spring and the Orioles in April. Rotoworld Today, 2:06 pm

    • Sitting against southpaw
      Garcia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

      Advice: With southpaw David Peterson on the bump for the Mets, the lefty-hitting Garcia will head to the bench in the series opener. Ildemaro Vargas will fill in for Garcia at the keystone. Rotowire.com Today, 12:42 pm
       
    • Brewers designate Owen Miller for assignment
      Brewers designated INF/OF Owen Miller for assignment.

      Advice: With Garrett Mitchell coming off the 60-day IL, the Brewers needed an extra spot on the 40-man roster, so they decided to move on from Miller, who had been sent to Triple-A at the end of May. Miller had started the year strong for Milwaukee but is hitting just .185 on the season with a 39 percent strikeout rate. He’ll hope to get a shot with another organization. Rotoworld Today, 11:37 am

    • Brewers send Tyler Black to minors (again)
      Brewers optioned INF Tyler Black to Triple-A Nashville.

      Advice: Black got his second chance with the Brewers this season but rarely played, going 3-for-11 and sitting this entire week before being demoted to make room for Garrett Mitchell to come off the IL. Black has the tolls to be a useful fantasy player, but he might not get the opportunity this season. Rotoworld Today, 11:31 am

    • Late entrant into lineup
      Clement will start at third base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Astros.

      Advice: Clement wasn't in the Blue Jays' initial lineup, but he'll get his third straight start after he was a late addition in place of Vladimir Guerrero (finger), who was scratched. Guerrero is considered day-to-day, and once he's able to rejoin the lineup, Clement will likely return to his usual bench role. Rotowire.com Today, 10:19 am

    • Returns off bench Sunday
      Drury (illness) went 0-for-2 with a strikeout in a loss to Detroit on Sunday.

      Advice: Drury sat out nine straight games due to an illness before returning to action Sunday. He didn't start but entered as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning and remained in the contest for another at-bat as the team's DH. Per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, Drury is expected to return to the starting lineup Tuesday against the Athletics. Rotowire.com Today, 10:06 am
