  • Astros recall Trey Cabbage on Tuesday
    Astros recalled OF Trey Cabbage from Triple-A Sugar Land.

    Advice: Cabbage provides Houston with a little more of an offensive threat off the bench than Grae Kessinger and also represents extra outfield insurance with Kyle Tucker dealing with a shin contusion. The 27-year-old has omnipresent contact issues, but he certainly can do some damage when he connects. Rotoworld Today, 2:40 pm

  • Astros option Grae Kessinger to Triple-A
    Astros optioned INF Grae Kessinger to Triple-A Sugar Land.

    Advice: Kessinger has played sparingly this season for Houston in a bench role, going 0-for-11 with five strikeouts in 11 contests. The 26-year-old heads back to the minors with Trey Cabbage coming back up to the big leagues. Rotoworld Today, 2:38 pm

  • Throws bullpen session
    Diaz (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Advice: Diaz threw 21 pitches during his mound session, and manager Carlos Mendoza said afterward that there is a good chance the 30-year-old reliever begins a rehab assignment in the minors Thursday. It's unclear how many minor-league reps the Mets will give their star closer, but the fact Diaz is already able to begin an assignment likely signals that he will only require a minimum-length stint on the IL.

  • Kris Bryant remains out Tuesday with rib soreness
    Kris Bryant (rib) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Reds.

    Advice: Bryant will sit out his second consecutive contest due to lingering rib soreness stemming from a twisting catch during the club’s previous series against the Dodgers. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 2:32 pm

  • Batting eighth in debut
    Dunn is in the Reds' lineup Tuesday versus the Rockies.

    Advice: Dunn got the call-up fro Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday. He now finds himself set to make his MLB debut as the starting left fielder, batting eighth against left-hander Ty Blach. Spencer Steer is starting at first base and outfielder Will Benson is out of the lineup. Rotowire.com Today, 2:29 pm
     
  • José Ureña starting Wednesday against Tigers
    José Ureña will start on Wednesday against the Tigers.

    Advice: Ureña gets the ball for Wednesday’s showdown at Globe Life Field after allowing four runs (two earned) over 2 1/3 innings last Friday against his former team in Miami. The 32-year-old is a non-factor for fantasy purposes, but he’s been an invaluable innings-eater this season for the defending World Series champions. Rotoworld Today, 2:28 pm
     
  • Edwin Díaz to start rehab assignment this week
    Edwin Díaz (shoulder) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday.

    Advice: Díaz threw a bullpen session on Tuesday without any issues and the Mets are hoping to have one of their primary closing options back on June 11, when first eligible to return. The electrifying 30-year-old righty hit the injured list back in late May with a right shoulder impingement. He’s struggled this season, but remains arguably the best option for New York manager Carlos Mendoza moving forward over Adam Ottavino, Jake Diekman and Reed Garrett. Rotoworld Today, 2:23 pm
     
  • Idle Tuesday
    Bryant (back) isn't part of the starting nine Tuesday against the Reds.

    Advice: Bryant missed Monday's series opener with back soreness and will once again be held out of the lineup due to the issue. Charlie Blackmon will DH and lead off while Hunter Goodman fills out right field. Rotowire.com Today, 12:58 pm
