  • Idle Tuesday
    Diaz is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: The 32-year-old will yield to Jose Aranda at first base Tuesday, giving Diaz his first day off after playing 10 straight games. During that 10-game stretch, Diaz is batting .341 with a pair of homers. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • Taking seat Tuesday
    Brujan is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Brewers.

    Advice: Brujan had made 16 straight starts, with the last nine of them coming at shortstop while Tim Anderson (back) was out. Anderson has returned to the Marlins' lineup at shortstop Tuesday, and the club is sticking with Otto Lopez at second base while Brujan gets a breather. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago

  • Not in Tuesday's lineup
    Baty is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Cleveland.

    Advice: The Mets had been using a strict platoon at third base since Mark Vientos was recalled, but it will be Vientos getting the start at third base in this one against right-hander Xzavion Curry. Baty is hitting just .125/.186/.150 with a 43.2 percent strikeout rate since his two-homer game back on May 3 and could be losing his grip on a starting job. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Spencer Steer (ankle) remains out Tuesday vs. SD
    Spencer Steer (ankle) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Padres.

    Advice: Steer will miss back-to-back games while dealing with his ankle injury. The 26-year-old will sit with Santiago Espinal at third and Jeimer Candelario again handling duties at first base. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago

  • Out again Tuesday
    Steer (ankle) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: Steer was held out of Sunday's game with an ankle injury and is apparently still not feeling well enough to play after Monday's off day. He did serve as a pinch hitter Sunday, suggesting the injury is more of a day-to-day situation. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago

  • Boone: DJ LeMahieu ‘on track’ for May 28 return
    Aaron Boone told the Talkin’ Yanks podcast that he believes DJ LeMahieu (foot) is on track to return May 28.

    Advice: That would be next Tuesday, for those curious. LeMahieu has been out for the entirety of 2024 while recovering from his foot fracture. The 35-year-old is currently on a rehab assignment, and he’ll likely continue that assignment through the end of the week. LeMahieu hasn’t been a valuable fantasy player over the last few years, but hitting in the New York lineup does add some intrigue. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago

  • Tracking toward May 28 return
    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in an interview on the Talkin' Yanks podcast of Jomboy Media on Tuesday that he expects LeMahieu (foot) to be activated from the 10-day injured list on May 28.

    Advice: LeMahieu went 2-for-3 with three walks in six plate appearances during his two rehab games with Double-A Somerset following the resumption of his rehab assignment and is slated to be transferred to Single-A Hudson Valley to continue rehabbing. Boone also reiterated that LeMahieu will be the team's primary third baseman when he returns, although the plan is to mix in more off days for him initially since he's missed so much time. LeMahieu is coming back from a non-displaced fracture of his right foot. Rotowire.com Today, 10:32 am

  • Starting spot in jeopardy
    Baty went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Monday's loss to the Guardians, and he's at risk of losing his starting job at third base to Mark Vientos, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Since a two-homer game May 3, Baty is slashing an anemic .125/.186/.150 with a 43.2 percent strikeout rate. Vientos has mainly been used as a short-side platoon option since his most recent promotion, but he's gone 4-for-14 with two doubles in four games. Baty hasn't let his struggles impact his defense, and that might be the only thing keeping him in the starting nine at the moment. With the Mets scrambling to find offense, though, they might decide they can live with Vientos' inferior glove at the hot corner if he can produce at the plate. Rotowire.com Today, 7:32 am
     
  • Starting rehab assignment
    Walls (hip) was assigned to the Florida Complex League Rays on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

    Advice: Walls had to be shut down for a while after developing inflammation in his surgically repaired right hip, but he's progressed to the point that he's ready to try things out in a game setting. The infielder will eventually move up to a higher affiliate but figures to be looking at a lengthy rehab assignment since he'll basically be going through spring training. Walls is probably looking at a utility infielder role with the Rays when he returns. Rotowire.com Today, 6:25 am
