  • Out of Boston lineup
    Hamilton is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Miami.

    Advice: Hamilton has started to cool off at the plate a bit with just two hits in his last 18 at-bats. As a result, he's seen his playing time squeezed, as this is the third time he's been on the bench over the Red Sox' last five contests. Enmanuel Valdez and Ceddanne Rafaela will form the middle-infield combo for Boston on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:34 pm
     
  • Marlins scratch Otto Lopez from Tuesday lineup
    Otto Lopez was scratched from the lineup Tuesday against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Lopez was originally scheduled to get the start at second base, but for reasons that haven’t been announced yet, he’s not going to do that. Vidal Brujan (knee) is back in the lineup as the second baseman, and Emmanuel Rivera is starting at third. Rotoworld Today, 12:29 pm

  • Hitting injured list
    Kiner-Falefa was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a left knee sprain.

    Advice: Kiner-Falefa was scratched from Monday's game with a left knee injury and an MRI revealed he's only dealing with a sprain. Still, the utility player will require an IL stint, opening up a spot on the active roster for Leo Jimenez. Kiner-Falefa is slashing .292/.338/.420 with a 13.2 percent K rate this season.

  • Blue Jays place Kiner-Falefa (knee) on 10-day IL
    Blue Jays placed INF Isiah Kiner-Falefa on the 10-day injured list with a right knee sprain.

    Advice: Falefa was scratched from Monday’s lineup due to pain in his left knee, and the Blue Jays will have the infielder miss at least a week-plus while he gets better. He underwent an MRI after the injury, and while the results haven’t been made public yet, it couldn’t have been too good of news if he’s going to miss time. Leo Jimenez has been recalled from Triple-A to replace Kiner-Falefa on the roster. Rotoworld Today, 12:21 pm

  • Marlins recall Xavier Edwards from Triple-A
    Marlins recalled INF Xavier Edwards from Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: Edwards is taking the roster spot of Tim Anderson, and he’s likely to see the bulk of reps at shortstop in Anderson’s place. The speedy infielder could help with steals, but isn’t a recommended fantasy option for those who aren’t disparate for help in that category. Rotoworld Today, 12:12 pm
     
  • Back in action
    Brujan (undisclosed) is batting seventh and playing second base Tuesday against Boston.

    Advice: Brujan was scratched from Saturday's game against Philadelphia for unspecified reasons and remained out of the lineup for Sunday's contest. However, he'll enter the starting nine at second base Tuesday while Xavier Edwards plays shortstop. With Tim Anderson booted from the 40-man roster, Brujan should see regular playing time in the infield moving forward. Rotowire.com Today, 11:54 am

  • Sitting against RHP
    Gordon is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Gordon is riding a seven-game hit steak, but he'll be idle for a second consecutive contest despite righty Kutter Crawford being on the mound for Boston. Bryan De La Cruz will fill left field and bat second Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 11:51 am

  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The Marlins recalled Edwards from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Edwards is taking the roster spot vacated by Tim Anderson, who has been designated for assignment. The switch-hitting Edwards could also get a shot at shortstop in Anderson's place, although he will have to contend with Vidal Brujan there for playing time. Edwards is a potential stolen-base contributor in fantasy should he receive regular reps, although it's a question as to whether he'll ultimately hit enough to be able to take advantage of that speed.

  • Launches first homer
    Iglesias went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's extra-inning win over the Nationals.

    Advice: Getting the start at second base against southpaw MacKenzie Gore and batting eighth, Iglesias didn't make his mark until the 10th inning, when he drove the first pitch Jordan Weems threw over the center-field fence to wrap up a six-run frame for the Mets. While his first homer of the season came against a right-hander pitcher, Iglesias has thrived in his short-side platoon role, producing a 1.147 OPS in 29 plate appearances against lefties since joining New York's big-league roster.
