  • Aaron Judge to undergo imaging on left hand
    Aaron Judge will undergo imaging on his left hand at NewYork-Presbyterian hospital.

    Advice: Considering the Yankees can get X-rays done in their clubhouse, it’s probably not a great sign that Judge is set to undergo imaging at NewYork-Presbyterian hospital following his early exit from Tuesday’s game after being hit by a pitch on the left hand. It’s possible they’re merely exercising extreme caution with their franchise icon. There might not be an update on his status until late Tuesday or early Wednesday. Stay tuned.

  • Exits after HBP
    Judge was removed from Tuesday's game against the Orioles after getting hit in the hand by a pitch, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: Judge took a 94-mph fastball off his left hand during the third inning of Tuesday's contest. He remained in the game to run the bases and even went back out to cover center field in the top of the fourth, but Trent Grisham pinch hit for him during the bottom of the frame. Judge's willingness to initially stay in the game could signal that his removal was only precautionary, but the Yankees will take a closer look at him and should have an update on his status in the near future.

  • Aaron Judge exits game following HBP on left hand
    Aaron Judge was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Orioles after being hit by a pitch on the left hand.

    Advice: Not good. Judge remained in the contest initially after being drilled by a 95-mph fastball pitch on the left hand in the third inning, but was eventually lifted for a pinch-hitter in the ensuing frame. The 32-year-old generational superstar, who leads the majors with 26 homers and 64 RBI this season, is presumably headed for X-rays to determine whether he suffered any fractures. There should be an update on his status at some point shortly. Stay tuned. Rotoworld Today, 5:39 pm

  • J.T. Realmuto (knee) aims to return next month
    J.T. Realmuto (knee) told reporters Tuesday that he’s planning to return by next month’s All-Star break.

    Advice: Realmuto is roughly one week removed from right knee surgery to repair a meniscus tear and is hoping to get back into game action, barring any setbacks, in the days leading up to the All-Star break, which begins on July 15. It’s not unrealistic to think he’ll be ready to go afterwards, even if he doesn’t meet that aggressive timeline. Rotoworld Today, 5:35 pm

  • Justin Verlander heads to IL with neck discomfort
    Astros placed RHP Justin Verlander on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 16, with neck discomfort.

    Advice: Houston’s decision to put Verlander on the shelf doesn’t come as much of a surprise after skipper Joe Espada told reporters earlier on Tuesday that the 41-year-old veteran was progressing “slower than expected” in his recovery from a lingering neck issue, which has been bothering him for a couple weeks now. He’ll get an extended break in an effort to put the issue to bed. No word yet on how the Astros will fill his spot in their injury-depleted starting rotation moving forward.

  • Moves to injured list
    The Astros placed Verlander on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to Sunday, due to neck discomfort.

    Advice: Manager Joe Espada said earlier Tuesday that the veteran right-hander was progressing slower than expected from the neck discomfort that scratched him from Saturday's scheduled start, and he'll be sidelined for at least a couple turns through the rotation. Verlander is without an official timeline for return, but he'll be eligible to be activated from the injured list at the start of July. Rotowire.com Today, 1:56 pm
     
  • Back in lineup Tuesday
    Caballero (calf) will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Tuesday's game in Minnesota.

    Advice: Caballero had to be scratched from Sunday's lineup versus Atlanta due to left calf tightness, but he's feeling ready to play after Monday's team off day. It's his first start at shortstop since last Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:50 pm

  • José Caballero returns to lineup Tuesday vs. Twins
    José Caballero (calf) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Twins.

    Advice: Caballero is back at shortstop and sixth on Tuesday evening following a two-game absence over the weekend due to calf tightness. The 27-year-old shortstop has also been battling an illness over the last few days, so it’s an encouraging sign that he’s ready to go after only a couple days off to rest and recover.

  • Resting Tuesday
    Garcia is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.
