  • Alek Thomas to undergo MRI on left hamstring
    Alek Thomas will undergo an MRI after experiencing renewed left hamstring discomfort.

    Advice: Thomas hasn’t felt right since Sunday’s rehab game with Triple-A Reno and will undergo some additional testing to determine the extent of the issue. The 24-year-old outfielder has been on the shelf since early April recovering from a left hamstring strain. There should be an update on his status at some point later this week, if not sooner.

  • Wenceel Pérez returns to lineup Tuesday vs. Guards
    Wenceel Pérez (illness) has returned to the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Guardians.

    Advice: Pérez is back in center field and batting second for Tuesday’s contest at Progressive Field following a two-game absence due to illness. The 24-year-old has gotten off to an encouraging start in his big-league debut, batting .296 with three homers and two steals in 19 games since being called up back in early April.

  • Taking batting practice
    Thomas (knee) will take full batting practice on the field Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: It will be his first time doing so since he went down with a left MCL sprain in his knee two weeks ago. Thomas will need to do some running and other drills before being cleared for a rehab assignment, but he seems to be making nice progress. Rotowire.com Today, 1:35 pm

  • Mark Canha out Tuesday due to illness
    Mark Canha is absent from Tuesday’s lineup due to illness.

    Advice: Canha is apparently under the weather and will sit out Tuesday’s showdown against the Guardians. It’ll be Riley Greene taking over in left field and Ryan Vilade drawing a start in right field for his season debut. Rotoworld Today, 1:33 pm

  • Status uncertain following setback
    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday that Thomas is headed back to Phoenix to be reevaluated after feeling renewed discomfort in his left hamstring while on a rehab assignment, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Advice: Thomas had appeared poised to be activated from the 10-day injured list soon, but now his status is cloudy again following a setback. He first injured the hamstring back on March 31 and had played four rehab games with Triple-A Reno. More clarity on Thomas' situation should be available later this week. Rotowire.com Today, 1:32 pm

  • Cubs activate Cody Bellinger for Tuesday return
    Cubs activated 1B/OF Cody Bellinger from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Bellinger will make his return to Chicago’s lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Padres following a two-week absence due to a rib fracture. The 28-year-old slugger was off to a bit of a slow start at the dish this season, batting .226/.320/.440 with five homers and 17 RBI in 97 plate appearances over 22 contests before a collision with the center-field wall back on April 23 resulted in a rib injury. Fantasy managers should make sure he’s back in their respective lineups moving forward. Rotoworld Today, 1:23 pm

  • Not facing lefty
    Carpenter is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Cleveland.

    Advice: As per usual, Carpenter will slide to the bench with southpaw Logan Allen on the mound for the Guardians. Instead, Ryan Vilade will make his 2024 debut and fill in at right field. Rotowire.com Today, 1:21 pm
     
  • Cubs option Alexander Canario to Triple-A
    Cubs optioned OF Alexander Canario to Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Canario heads back to the minors with Cody Bellinger returning from the injured list. The 24-year-old former top prospect batted a respectable .273/.360/.455 with one homer and one steal in 25 plate appearances over 13 games in his latest brief stint in the big leagues.
