    • Phillies sticking with Taijuan Walker amid struggles
      Phillies manager Rob Thomson confirmed Tuesday that Taijuan Walker will remain in the starting rotation.

      Advice: Walker receives yet another vote of confidence from Thomson as he’ll keep his rotation spot over Spencer Turnbull, who has been a revelation this season in his Phillies debut and will continue operating in long relief. The 31-year-old righty, who is in the second year of a four-year, $72 million contract, will take the ball on Sunday against the Mets in London his next time out. Rotoworld Today, 4:12 pm
       
    • Luis Arraez returns to lineup Tuesday vs. Angels
      Luis Arraez (shoulder) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Angels.

      Advice: Arraez is back at designated hitter and leading off on Tuesday night in Los Angeles following a brief one-game absence due to a relatively minor shoulder issue. The 27-year-old contact-oriented infielder has been excellent since arriving in San Diego, batting .391 (43-for-110) with one homer and three steals across 26 contests. Rotoworld Today, 3:50 pm

    • Tommy John surgery scheduled
      Javier (forearm) is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: The right-hander landed on the injured list in late May due to right forearm discomfort and is now set to miss the rest of the 2024 campaign. Javier will also be sidelined until at least the second half of 2025 as he rehabs from the surgery. It's been a rough week for Houston pitchers, as Jose Urquidy (elbow) is also in danger of needing the procedure. Rotowire.com Today, 3:47 pm
       
    • Cristian Javier to undergo Tommy John surgery
      The Athletic’s Chandler Rome reports Cristian Javier will undergo Tommy John surgery.

      Advice: It’s a significant hit to Houston’s already razor-thin starting pitching depth as Javier has been a mainstay in their starting rotation for the last three seasons and boasts a stellar 3.59 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 27 percent strikeout rate over 501 innings (116 appearances, 82 starts) in the majors since 2020. Given the timing of the procedure, he’s likely to miss the overwhelming majority of the 2025 campaign as well. Rotoworld Today, 3:46 pm
       
    • Out for season
      Middleton (forearm) will undergo surgery next week to repair his right flexor tendon and will miss the rest of the season, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

      Advice: The timing of Middleton's surgery will allow him to return at some point during the 2025 campaign. He signed a one-year deal with St. Louis in February with a $6 million club option for 2025, though the Cardinals' decision on whether or not to bring him back will likely depend on how much of the next season he's expected to miss.

    • Returning to action Tuesday
      Estrada (thumb) is starting at second base and batting second Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Estrada sat out the previous three games with a jammed thumb but is ready to take the field Tuesday in Arizona. The 28-year-old finished May on a modest four-game hit streak and went 7-for-17 with a double, an RBI and a run during that span. Rotowire.com Today, 3:42 pm
       
    • Kyle Freeland (elbow) throws bullpen session Tuesday
      Kyle Freeland (elbow) threw a 40-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday at Coors Field.

      Advice: Freeland was transferred to the 60-day injured list last month as he recovers from a left elbow strain, so it’s an encouraging development that he’s throwing without any issues already. The 31-year-old southpaw should be ready to return at some point in late June or early July. Rotoworld Today, 3:42 pm
       
    • Dominic Fletcher out 2-3 weeks with shoulder sprain
      Dominic Fletcher will miss 2-3 weeks with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder.

      Advice: Fletcher landed on the injured list Tuesday after suffering the ailment during Sunday’s contest against the Brewers on a collision with the left-field wall. The 26-year-old outfielder will likely wind up sidelined until sometime after next month’s All-Star break. Rotoworld Today, 3:40 pm
       
    • Absent from Tuesday's lineup
      Raleigh is not in the Mariners' lineup Tuesday versus the Athletics.

      Advice: Raleigh had a three game hit streak, but will begin Tuesday's matchup from the bench. He did not start May 29 against the Astros, but did come off the bench for two plate appearances. In his place, Mitch Garver has the start behind the plate and Mitch Haniger is the DH. Rotowire.com Today, 3:40 pm
