  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Rockies optioned Bouchard to Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday.

    Advice: With Kris Bryant (back) returning from the injured list, Bouchard will head back to the minors to free up a roster spot. The 28-year-old outfielder has put up a 1.042 OPS in the minors so far, though his numbers fell to .222/.333/.370 across 63 plate appearances upon moving to the big leagues. He would likely return to Colorado later this season if the Rockies find themselves in need of outfield depth. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • 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 12 minutes ago

  • 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 15 minutes ago

  • Rockies option Sean Bouchard to Triple-A
    Rockies optioned INF/OF Sean Bouchard to Triple-A Albuquerque.

    Advice: Bouchard draws the short straw on Colorado’s active roster with Kris Bryant returning from the injured list ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Athletics. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago
     
  • Cleared for batting practice
    Conforto (hamstring) has been cleared to take on-field batting practice, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Advice: Conforto landed on the 10-day injured list just over a week ago a right hamstring strain. Taking batting practice is certainly a positive step in his recovery, although running will be a bigger hurdle for him to clear and it's uncertain when he might be ready for that. Conforto is eligible for activation Wednesday, but it would appear he'll need a little more time than that. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago
     
  • Luis Matos batting third on Tuesday vs. Pirates
    Luis Matos is batting third on Tuesday against the Pirates.

    Advice: Giants manager Bob Melvin has bumped a sizzling-hot Matos up to the heart of the order for the first time this season. The 22-year-old former top prospect has batted a sublime .385 (10-for-26) with two homers and a staggering 16 RBI in seven contests since returning to the majors back on May 12. He’s absolutely worthy of a speculative roster spot in all fantasy formats, despite some lackluster underlying quality of contact metrics. Rotoworld 37 minutes ago
     
  • Taking seat
    Sabol is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Sabol will dodge left-handed pitcher Martin Perez on Tuesday as Curt Casali fills in behind the dish and bats ninth. Rotowire.com 42 minutes ago
     
  • Idle against lefty
    Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Yastrzemski will avoid a matchup with southpaw Martin Perez on Tuesday. Instead, Ryan McKenna will bat seventh and play right field. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Not in Tuesday's lineup
    Stanton is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

    Advice: Stanton started the previous four games and will sit Tuesday after he went 5-for-15 with two doubles and two homers during that span. Aaron Judge will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Trent Grisham starts in center field. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
