  • Without return timeline
    Trout (knee) said Tuesday that his recovery from meniscus surgery has gone slower than expected and that he's without an official timetable for his return, Sam Blum of The Athleticreports.

    Advice: The 32-year-old underwent the procedure to repair a torn meniscus in early May and has yet to start up a running program. Trout is currently trying to find exercises that allow him to progress with minimal soreness, so he doesn't appear particularly close to baseball work. Barring a significant improvement in the near future, Trout seems likely to be sidelined well beyond the All-Star break in mid-July. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago

  • Should return around All-Star break
    White Sox GM Chris Getz said Tuesday that Moncada (adductor) is expected to return around the All-Star break, which runs July 15-18, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

    Advice: The 29-year-old suffered the adductor strain in early May and was given an initial return timeline of 3-to-6 months, and it appears he's on track to be back at the front of that window. Jimenez will likely require at least a handful of games in the minors to get back up to speed before being activated. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago

  • William Contreras back in lineup Tuesday vs. Halos
    William Contreras is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Angels.

    Advice: Contreras is back at designated hitter following a one-game absence for precautionary reasons following a scary-looking home-plate collision over the weekend. The positive development here for the Brewers, and fantasy managers, is that the 26-year-old backstop has been cleared of a potential concussion. Rotoworld 38 minutes ago
     
  • Washington: José Soriano unlikely to need IL stint
    José Soriano is dealing with an infection.

    Advice: Angels manager Ron Washington elaborated Tuesday that there’s no concern that Soriano will require a trip to the injured list, but likely won’t take the ball until next week. The 25-year-old was scratched from Monday’s start against the Brewers due to abdominal pain. He’s presumably day-to-day for now. Rotoworld 43 minutes ago

  • Yordan Alvarez out Tuesday due to family matter
    Yordan Alvarez is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the White Sox due to a family matter.

    Advice: The positive news here for fantasy managers is that Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters Alvarez could return as early as Wednesday. The 26-year-old slugger, who boasts a stellar .873 OPS with 14 homers and a career-high three steals this season through 71 games, is getting his first off day since May 18.

  • Dealing with family matter
    Alvarez (personal) is absent from the Astros' lineup Tuesday versus the White Sox due to a family matter according to manager Joe Espada, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

    Advice: Alvarez was set to take a seat for the first time since May 17, but it is now understood to be a result of a personal matter regarding his family. Manager Joe Espada said Tuesday that it is possible for Alvarez to be back with the team Wednesday, but his status appears to be day-to-day for the time being. Rotowire.com 51 minutes ago
     
  • Resting Tuesday
    Perkins isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Angels.

    Advice: Perkins has gone just 1-for-16 with six strikeouts across his last five games, and he'll now get a day to regroup Tuesday. His absence will put Christian Yelich, Sal Frelick and Jackson Chourio in the outfield while William Contreras (head) serves as the designated hitter, allowing Gary Sanchez to start at catcher.

  • Dealing with back injury
    Kirilloff's option to Triple-A St. Paul was rescinded Tuesday as the Twins placed him on the 10-day injured list due to back soreness and nerve issues, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The demotion was initially reported after Wednesday's win against the Rockies, but Kirilloff is instead back with the big club as the injury is evaluated. The 26-year-old underwent an MRI in late May but apparently didn't communicate how troublesome the injury had become as he attempted to play through it. It's unclear how long Kirilloff is expected to be sidelined, but the Twins could plan out a lengthy rehab assignment given his .654 OPS and career-worst 26.4 percent strikeout rate this year.

  • Dealing with infection
    Soriano (abdomen) is dealing with an infection according to manager Ron Washington, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Soriano had his turn in the rotation skipped Monday due to abdominal pain and he's expected to be skipped again as he nurses an infection. In regards to a timeline for his return, manager Ron Washington said Tuesday that there's not a concern that Soriano will need to be placed on the injured list, so he'll likely be back before the end of June.
