  • Idle Tuesday
    Abreu isn't in the Astros' lineup versus the Giants on Tuesday.

    Advice: Prior to being absent from the lineup Tuesday, Abreu had made six straight starts and had made appearances in nine consecutive games. He went 5-for-29 with two homers in the nine game span. With the 37-year-old getting a breather, Jon Singleton will start at first and bat fifth. Rotowire.com 2 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting Tuesday
    Diaz (finger) isn't in the Astros' lineup Tuesday versus the Giants.

    Advice: X-ray and MRI results on Diaz's right index finger came back negative before Tuesday's game, but the Astros will opt to hold him out of action rather than using him as their designated hitter. Victor Caratini, who figures to start regularly until Diaz is cleared to catch again, will get the nod behind the plate and bat ninth. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago

  • On bench against lefty
    Smith is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Smith has a .912 OPS through eight games in June but will take a seat Tuesday with southpaw James Paxton on the mound for Los Angeles. Davis Wendzel will receive a start at the hot corner and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago

  • Sitting Tuesday
    McCormick isn't in the Astros' lineup versus the Giants on Tuesday.

    Advice: Mccormick will take a seat on the bench after making three straight starts in right field. Before that, the outfielder was absent from the lineup in two consecutive games. With him out of the lineup Tuesday, Mauricio Dubon, Jake Meyers and Trey Cabbage will round out the outfield for the Astros. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Getting breather versus LHP
    Pederson isn't in Arizona's lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Angels.

    Advice: Pederson will retreat to the bench Tuesday as left-hander Jose Suarez prepares to take the mound for Los Angeles. Blaze Alexander will instead serve as Arizona's DH while batting eighth. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting versus lefty
    McCarthy isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup Tuesday against the Angels.

    Advice: With southpaw Jose Suarez slated to start on the mound for the Angels, the lefty-hitting McCarthy will step out of the lineup. Randal Grichuk will fill the open spot in right field while batting fifth. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Corey Seager out Tuesday with hamstring injury
    Corey Seager (hamstring) remains absent from the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Dodgers.

    Advice: This certainly qualifies as a surprise since Seager was expected to be ready to roll for Tuesday’s highly-anticipated showdown at Dodger Stadium after getting a couple games off to address some mild hamstring left soreness. The 30-year-old fantasy superstar will miss his fourth straight contest and remains day-to-day for the moment. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago

  • Not starting Tuesday
    Brooks isn't in the Giants' lineup versus the Astros on Tuesday.

    Advice: Brooks started in the last two games at first and went 1-for-6. Prior to the two starts Sunday and Monday, he did not appear in four consecutive games. The first baseman was getting playing time with LaMonte Wade on the injured list, but Wilmer Flores will get the start at first Tuesday instead. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
     
  • Scratched with sore hamstring
    Ortiz was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays due to right hamstring soreness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The third baseman was penciled in atop the order with lefty Yusei Kikuchi pitching for Toronto but will instead be held out due to the hamstring issue. Andruw Monasterio replaced him at third base and the leadoff spot. Ortiz should be considered day-to-day heading into Wednesday's series finale versus the Blue Jays. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
