  • Spencer Steer getting rare day off on Tuesday
    Spencer Steer is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: It’s a rare off day for Steer, who has started to heat up at the dish recently with at least one hit in each of his last five contests, raising his batting average nearly 20 points from .234 to .248 in the process. Rotoworld Today, 3:29 pm

  • Sitting Tuesday
    Tellez isn't in the lineup Tuesday versus the Brewers.

    Advice: Tellez has recorded just one hit across his last 22 plate appearances in an eight game span. For the season, the 29-year-old currently sits below the Mendoza Line amidst this slump. In his absence, Connor Joe will start at first base and bat cleanup. Rotowire.com Today, 3:28 pm
     
  • Promotion imminent
    The Mets will recall Vientos from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Vientos has slashed .233/.343/.400 across 35 plate appearances since being sent down to Triple-A on April 30, and he will now return to New York -- presumably forming a platoon at third base with Brett Baty. Vientos went 3-for-7 with a two-run homer during his first stint in the majors. Rotowire.com Today, 3:26 pm

  • Report: Mets calling up Mark Vientos on Wednesday
    Mike Mayer of Metsmerized reports the Mets are calling up Mark Vientos from Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: SNY’s Andy Martino adds that the Mets are planning to split time at third base between Vientos and Brett Baty moving forward. It’s hardly an ideal arrangement for fantasy purposes, but Baty simply hasn’t produced enough to play everyday, especially against left-handed pitching. Rotoworld Today, 3:11 pm

  • Returns to majors
    The Brewers recalled Miller from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

    Advice: With Rhys Hoskins (hamstring) headed for the injured list, Miller will come up from Nashville to give the Brewers additional bench depth. Miller will likely platoon with Jake Bauers at first base while Hoskins is out, though Miller's defensive versatility could allow him to make an occasional start elsewhere.

  • Brewers recall Owen Miller on Tuesday
    Brewers recalled INF/OF Owen Miller from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Miller gets the call back to the big leagues over top prospect Tyler Black with Rhys Hoskins landing on the injured list with a hamstring strain. The 27-year-old went 1-for-12 in seven games for the Brewers earlier this season. Rotoworld Today, 3:00 pm

  • Lands on IL
    The Brewers placed Hoskins on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right hamstring strain.

    Advice: Hoskins tweaked his hamstring while running to first base during Monday's game against Pittsburgh and had to come out of the game. He'll now miss at least the next 10 days because of his injury, likely spelling more reps at first base for Jake Bauers and Owen Miller, the latter who was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.

  • Rhys Hoskins lands on IL with hamstring strain
    Brewers placed 1B Rhys Hoskins on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain.

    Advice: No word yet on the severity of the injury, but it sounds like the Brewers want to give Hoskins at least a couple days to rest and recover. The 31-year-old slugger was just starting to really heat up again at the dish, so the timing is a bit unfortunate. There should be some clarity on his status in the coming days as it sounds like Milwaukee is still gathering medical information. Rotoworld Today, 2:58 pm
