  • Pirates vs. Tigers postponed Tuesday due to rain
    Tuesday’s game between the Pirates and Tigers has been postponed due to inclement weather.

    Advice: It’s fitting that only Mother Nature herself could prevent fantasy managers from watching a highly-anticipated pitcher’s duel on Tuesday evening between Detroit ace Tarik Skubal and Pirates electrifying rookie Jared Jones. It’ll be made up as a doubleheader on Wednesday instead with Skubal and Jones squaring off in the opening contest of the twin bill. It’ll be dynamic top prospect Paul Skenes taking the ball in the nightcap affair. Rotoworld Today, 3:06 pm

  • Sent to Triple-A
    The Guardians optioned Curry to Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Curry was shelled for six earned runs in 3.1 innings during his last outing Monday, and the return of Eli Morgan (shoulder) from the injured list will leave the former as the odd man out of Cleveland's pitching staff. The 25-year-old Curry owns a 5.68 ERA through three starts in the majors and has performed even worse in Triple-A (8.79 ERA), though he still could return to Cleveland this year if a spot opens up in the big-league rotation.

  • Guardians ship Xzavion Curry back to Triple-A
    Guardians optioned RHP Xzavion Curry to Triple-A Columbus.

    Advice: Curry heads back to the minors after allowing a whopping seven runs (six earned) over 3 1/3 innings on Monday in a loss to the Rockies at Coors Field. The 25-year-old righty figures to continue shuttling back-and-forth between Cleveland’s pitching mix and Triple-A Columbus over the next few months. Rotoworld Today, 2:22 pm
     
  • Nathan Eovaldi starting Tuesday against D-backs
    Rangers activated RHP Nathan Eovaldi from the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Eovaldi will take the ball on Tuesday evening against the Diamondbacks following a three-week stint on the injured list recovering from a right groin strain. The 34-year-old veteran right-hander has remained a rock-solid mid-rotation stabilizer for fantasy managers this season, when healthy, with a sparkling 2.61 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 44/19 K/BB ratio across 41 1/3 innings (seven starts).

  • Throwing off mound
    Scherzer (back/arm) will throw a "full" bullpen session Wednesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Scherzer will throw off a mound for the first time since being shut down in early May, an encouraging sign for the 38-year-old, who's rehabbing a nerve problem in his throwing arm and an offseason back surgery. Prior to the setback, Scherzer threw 52 pitches April 25 in a rehab start at Triple-A Round Rock. Rotowire.com Today, 1:57 pm
     
  • Max Scherzer (thumb) throwing bullpen Wednesday
    Max Scherzer (thumb) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday.

    Advice: There’s a bit of lingering uncertainty regarding Scherzer’s potential return timeline after he was abruptly pulled off a minor league rehab assignment earlier this month to address a nerve issue leading to issues with his right thumb. The hope is that the 39-year-old veteran righty will be ready for rehab starts at some point in June. There is no official timetable for his return at this juncture. Rotoworld Today, 1:55 pm
     
  • Starting Wednesday's game
    Dunning will start Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: It had been Dunning's turn Tuesday, but he will be pushed back a day with Nathan Eovaldi (groin) returning from the injured list. Dunning threw 74 pitches in his first start back from the IL last week versus the Phillies, so he might not quite be fully stretched out for Wednesday's outing. Rotowire.com Today, 1:54 pm
     
  • Making another rehab start
    Wicks (forearm) is starting for Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Wicks will make his second rehab appearance at Triple-A Iowa after going two scoreless innings with three strikeouts Friday. He's still in the process of getting stretched out, so it's expected Wicks will need a couple more rehab starts before being activated. Rotowire.com Today, 1:53 pm
     
  • Will start for Texas on Tuesday
    Eovaldi (groin) will start Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Eovaldi has missed nearly all of May with a strained right groin, but he will skip a rehab assignment and go right back into the Rangers' rotation. The right-hander would figure to be relatively limited from a workload perspective Tuesday, although the Rangers haven't revealed any specifics regarding a pitch count. Dane Dunning had been on turn to start Tuesday but will now take the ball Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:52 pm
