  • Back in action
    Bryant (back) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game in Oakland, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

    Advice: Bryant returns to the lineup for the Rockies on Tuesday, starting at first base and batting fifth. The 32-year-old landed on the injured list April 17 with a lower back strain. The veteran was slashing only .149/.273/.255 over 13 games before getting injured. With his return to the lineup, Sean Bouchard has been optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque. Rotowire.com Today, 2:25 pm

  • Rockies activate Kris Bryant for Tuesday return
    Rockies activated INF/OF Kris Bryant from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Bryant returns to Colorado’s roster ahead of Tuesday’s showdown against the Athletics following a one-month absence due to a lower back strain. The 32-year-old has gotten off to an abysmal start at the dish this season, batting .149 (7-for-47) with one homer and zero steals in 13 games. He’s gradually faded into irrelevancy for fantasy purposes over the last few years with the Rockies. Rotoworld Today, 2:23 pm

  • Austin Riley remains out Tuesday vs. Cubs
    Austin Riley (side) is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Cubs.

    Advice: No surprise here as Riley will miss his eighth straight contest due to an ongoing side issue after sitting out both contests of Monday’s doubleheader. There’s been zero indication that he’ll wind up requiring a trip to the injured list, despite the fact that he’s yet to resume swinging a bat. It’s a frustrating situation for fantasy managers, but it doesn’t sound like the Braves are going to make a roster move at this juncture. It’ll be Zack Short drawing another start at the keystone on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field. Rotoworld Today, 1:41 pm

  • Remains out of lineup
    Riley (intercostal) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Cubs.

    Advice: Riley hasn't played since May 12 because of left intercostal inflammation. Atlanta has resisted putting its third baseman on the 10-day injured list so far, and at this point, it would appear the team will continue to wait things out. He was cleared to take soft swings in the batting cage Tuesday, per Mark Bowman of MLB.com, so Riley at least appears to be making progress in his recovery. Zack Short will again be at the hot corner Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:39 pm

  • Follow-up exam on June 5
    Encarnacion-Strand (wrist) will have a follow-up exam on June 5, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Advice: That will be the four-week mark of Encarnacion-Strand's projected 4-to-6 week timetable as he recovers from a fracture in his right wrist, so it would appear he's not going to make it back on the early side of that timeline. Encarnacion-Strand would presumably require a rehab assignment before returning. Rotowire.com Today, 12:55 pm
  • Sitting against southpaw
    Bauers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Bauers will give way to Owen Miller at first base for a second straight night as the Marlins trot out another lefty starter. Bauers delivered a pinch-hit double during Monday's extra-innings loss. Rotowire.com Today, 12:52 pm

  • Playing Tuesday
    Ortiz (foot) is batting fifth and playing third base Tuesday against Miami.

    Advice: Ortiz was hit in the foot by a pitch during Monday's loss but won't be forced to miss any time after his X-rays came back clean. Since April 26, Ortiz is batting .328 with five home runs as the Brewers' everyday third baseman. Rotowire.com Today, 12:48 pm

  • Not in Tuesday's lineup
    Sosa is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Rangers.

    Advice: Sosa has received most of the starts at shortstop since Trea Turner went down and boasts a .924 OPS over that time. However, the Phillies are going with Bryson Stott at shortstop and Kody Clemens at second base versus righty Jon Gray and the Rangers. Rotowire.com Today, 12:02 pm

  • Brett Baty gets Tuesday off against Guardians
    Brett Baty is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Guardians.

    Advice: Baty has really struggled as of late, and the 24-year-old will ride the pine to begin Tuesday’s game with Mark Vientos getting the start. Baty still have long-term appeal, but there’s just as much risk as reward in his profile for the 2024 season. Rotoworld Today, 12:00 pm
