  • Ohtani won’t play second game of doubleheader
    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters that Ohtani won’t start the second game of the doubleheader Tuesday against the Mets.

    Advice: Ohtani will get a rare day off in the second game of the twin-billing. With the 29-year-old superstar out, the Dodgers will have Will Smith as the designated hitter and Austin Barnes will get the start behind the plate. Rotoworld 7 minutes ago
     
  • Lourdes Gurriel sitting Tuesday against Rangers
    Lourdes Gurriel is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers.

    Advice: Gurriel went just 1-for-10 in the three-game series against the Marlins, and he’s hitting .203 with a .582 OPS thus far in the month of May. He’ll take a seat with Pavin Smith getting the start in right field while hitting fifth. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago
     
  • Taking seat Tuesday
    Gurriel is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Rangers.

    Advice: It's a routine day off for Gurriel, who is batting just .203/.241/.291 with one home run so far in May. The Diamondbacks will utilize Jake McCarthy and Pavin Smith as their corner outfielders Tuesday. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
     
  • Moves to injured list
    Bart (thumb) was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to May 27, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Advice: The 27-year-old was lifted from Sunday's matchup against Atlanta due to the injury and will now be sidelined for at least the next week and a half, though the severity of the injury remains unclear. Grant Koch as added to the big-league roster and will serve as Yasmani Grandal's backup while Bart is unavailable. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
     
  • Activated from injured list
    The Pirates activated Hayes (back) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: Hayes has been sidelined since early May with a back injury but will skip a rehab assignment and go directly back on the Pirates' active roster. The third baseman is slashing a disappointing .240/.322/.318 with just one home run and zero stolen bases for Pittsburgh this season. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
     
  • Joey Bart heads to injured list with thumb injury
    Pirates placed C Joey Bart on the 10-day injured list with a left thumb injury.

    Advice: Bart was removed from Sunday’s game against Atlanta with the thumb injury, and the Pirates are concerned enough to place the 27-year-old on the injured list. He’ll miss at least a week — with a more concrete timeline likely to come in the next few days — with Grant Koch heading up to take Bart’s place on the roster. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
     
  • Pirates reinstate Ke’Bryan Hayes off injured list
    Pirates reinstated INF Ke’Bryan Hayes off the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Hayes is back after missing three weeks with inflammation in his back. The 27-year-old hasn’t been successful in 2024 when health with a .640 OPS, but he was a solid option in 2023 with enough talent to suggest as a speculative add for those who need help in the corner infield.

  • DJ LeMahieu will hit ninth, play third in return
    DJ LeMahieu will hit ninth and play third base in his return from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: LeMahieu will make his season debut after missing exactly two months of the season with a fracture in his right foot. The 35-year-old could have some rust to shake off from such a long absence — even with a lengthy rehab assignment — but hitting ninth will give him a chance to be driven in by the top of the New York lineup.

  • Did some light running Monday
    Nootbaar (hamstring) hit in the batting cage and did some light running prior to Monday's game against the Reds, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Nootbaar tweaked his hamstring while legging out a triple in Saturday's game against the Cubs and has since sat out the last two games. The outfielder told Denton that he should be ready to return to the lineup whenever the Cardinals are ready to put him back in there. Worth noting is that St. Louis is slated to face a left-hander Tuesday and also has an off day Thursday, factors which could weigh into their decision as to when to re-insert Nootbaar.
