• Throws simulated game
    Hall (knee) threw 35 pitches over two simulated innings Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Hall came out of the throwing session feeling like he's ready to make a rehab start, but he had not yet spoken to the medical staff to confirm that's the next step. The left-hander has been sidelined for the last three-plus weeks with a left knee sprain. Hall would probably need at least two rehab starts before being activated. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago

  • Idle Tuesday
    Brennan is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Brennan will get a maintenance day Tuesday after starting eight consecutive games for the Guardians. Estevan Florial will fill in at right field while Tyler Freeman and David Fry man center and left, respectively. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting against left-hander
    Busch is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Southpaw Chris Sale is getting the start for Atlanta, so the left-handed hitting Busch will be given a day off. Cody Bellinger will get the start at first base, while Pete Crow-Armstrong will patrol center field. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Taking seat Tuesday
    Happ is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Atlanta.

    Advice: The switch-hitter is better from the left side of the plate, so it makes sense to give him a breather as Atlanta sends southpaw Chris Sale to the hill. Mike Tauchman will occupy left field for the Cubs. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago

  • Avoiding surgery
    An MRI revealed Tuesday that Topa has a 25 percent tear in his left patellar tendon and will be immobilized for another week before trying to ramp up, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: After getting a second opinion on the injury, Topa decided to receive a PRP injection instead of undergoing surgery. He's currently on crutches and will be immobile for a week, but will attempt to ramp up afterward. Topa had felt discomfort in his knee during a three-inning rehab start on May 5 and was close to returning prior to the setback. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago

  • In lineup as DH on Tuesday
    Morel (toe) will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Tuesday's game in Atlanta.

    Advice: Morel had to exit Monday's contest after fouling a ball off his left foot, but he's fine. It's his first start at DH in more than a week, which will free up third base for Patrick Wisdom on Tuesday. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Justin Topa (knee) aiming to return this season
    Justin Topa (knee) is hoping to return this season.

    Advice: Topa has been diagnosed with a partial tear in his left patellar tendon and is currently on crutches after receiving a PRP injection last week. The 33-year-old reliever opened the year on the injured list with left knee tendinitis and suffered a setback a couple weeks ago. He’s going to be out a while, but it sounds like there’s a chance he’s back later this year. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
