• Not starting Tuesday
    Jansen is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Kansas City.

  • Receives night off
    Varsho is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Varsho won't face the left-handed Cole Ragans on Tuesday as the Blue Jays trot out a lineup of eight righties and Cavan Biggio. The outfielder is 1-for-14 (.071) across his last four games but will likely slide back into the Toronto lineup Wednesday when they face RHP Seth Lugo. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
  • Mets option Mark Vientos to Triple-A
    Mets optioned INF Mark Vientos to Triple-A Syracuse

    Advice: Vientos will head back to the minors after the team activated Starling Marte from the bereavement. The 24-year-old went 3-for-7 with two RBI in his three games while with the Mets, so he did himself some good to be considered for a call up later in the season if there is an open slot.

  • Getting day off
    Bader is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Cubs.

  • Heads back to minors
    The Mets optioned Vientos to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Advice: Vientos contributed a walk-off home run in Sunday's extra-innings win over the Cardinals but now finds himself back in the minors as Starling Marte returns to the active roster. With J.D. Martinez with the club and Brett Baty absorbing most of the at-bats at third base, there's no path to regular playing time for Vientos right now. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
