  • José Urquidy (forearm) faces hitters on Tuesday
    José Urquidy (forearm) faced hitters on Tuesday in a live batting practice session.

    Advice: A minor league rehab assignment seems to be on the near horizon for Urquidy, who has been on the shelf since spring training recovering from right forearm inflammation. The 29-year-old righty figures to need at least a couple rehab starts before returning to Houston’s starting rotation. Rotoworld 38 minutes ago

  • Darell Hernaiz exits Tuesday with ankle injury
    Darell Hernaiz was removed from Tuesday’s lopsided affair against the Rangers with a left ankle injury.

    Advice: Hernaiz suffered the injury during the early stages of the one-sided contest when he stepped awkwardly on the first-base bag attempting to beat out an infield hit. The 22-year-old infielder should be considered day-to-day for now. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago

  • Espada: Cristian Javier to return this weekend
    Cristian Javier (neck) will return this weekend to start against the Tigers.

    Advice: Astros manager Joe Espada confirmed what was being widely speculated that Javier would return to Houston’s injury-plagued starting rotation mix after making a minor league rehab start on Saturday for Double-A Corpus Christi. The 27-year-old righty might need some time to knock off the rust, but there likely won’t be any workload restrictions after throwing 68 pitches in his lone rehab outing.

  • Luis Arraez not in lineup Tuesday vs. Cubs
    Luis Arraez is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Cubs.

    Advice: Arraez takes a seat to open Tuesday’s contest at Wrigley Field with southpaw Shota Imanaga toeing the rubber after starting three consecutive games for San Diego since being acquired over the weekend from the Marlins. The 27-year-old second baseman has five hits and one RBI in 15 at-bats over three contests since being picked up by the Padres. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago

  • Seiya Suzuki (oblique) starting rehab assignment
    Seiya Suzuki (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters Suzuki is likely to return to Chicago’s lineup later this week on either Friday or Saturday when they take on the Pirates. The 29-year-old corner outfielder has been sidelined since mid-April due to a right oblique strain, which was expected to keep him on the shelf for at least one month. Rotoworld 49 minutes ago

  • Day off Tuesday
    Campusano is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: Campusano will hand over catching duties to Kyle Higashioka for the second time in the last three days. After enduring a 1-for-13 (.076) stretch at the plate, Campusano has rebounded with hits in three straight games, tallying five RBI and a pair of runs scored in that stretch.

  • Spencer Turnbull to pitch in relief on Tuesday night
    Spencer Turnbull will pitch in relief during Tuesday’s game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Turnbull is expected to piggyback with southpaw Cristopher Sánchez on Tuesday night when the Phillies take on the Blue Jays at Citizens Bank Park. The 31-year-old right-hander has been brilliant this season in his Philadelphia debut before Taijuan Walker’s return last week bumped him back to the bullpen. He figures to gobble up a couple frames in this contest, which will be his first appearance since last Tuesday when he allowed two runs over 5 1/3 frames against the Angels.

  • Could remain out until next week
    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Tuesday that Carpenter's (oblique) rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis could be extended through the weekend, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Carpenter had a couple potential rehab games with Double-A Springfield rained out, so the team would like to see him make up for that lost time. Barring a setback, it sounds like he should be activated early next week when the Cardinals are on the road playing the Angels. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago

  • Idle Tuesday
    Arraez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Chicago.

    Advice: After starting and batting leadoff in each of his first three appearances with the Padres, Arraez will get the day off Tuesday. While it's possible Arraez could cede work against lefties -- the Padres are facing southpaw Shota Imanaga Tuesday -- Arraez was part of the team's lineup Monday against Justin Steele, who's also left-handed. Manny Machado will DH Tuesday while Donovan Solano starts at third base. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
