  • Spencer Steer getting rare day off on Tuesday
    Spencer Steer is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: It’s a rare off day for Steer, who has started to heat up at the dish recently with at least one hit in each of his last five contests, raising his batting average nearly 20 points from .234 to .248 in the process. Rotoworld Today, 3:29 pm

  • Promotion imminent
    The Mets will recall Vientos from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Vientos has slashed .233/.343/.400 across 35 plate appearances since being sent down to Triple-A on April 30, and he will now return to New York -- presumably forming a platoon at third base with Brett Baty. Vientos went 3-for-7 with a two-run homer during his first stint in the majors. Rotowire.com Today, 3:26 pm

  • Report: Mets calling up Mark Vientos on Wednesday
    Mike Mayer of Metsmerized reports the Mets are calling up Mark Vientos from Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: SNY’s Andy Martino adds that the Mets are planning to split time at third base between Vientos and Brett Baty moving forward. It’s hardly an ideal arrangement for fantasy purposes, but Baty simply hasn’t produced enough to play everyday, especially against left-handed pitching. Rotoworld Today, 3:11 pm

  • Returns to majors
    The Brewers recalled Miller from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

    Advice: With Rhys Hoskins (hamstring) headed for the injured list, Miller will come up from Nashville to give the Brewers additional bench depth. Miller will likely platoon with Jake Bauers at first base while Hoskins is out, though Miller's defensive versatility could allow him to make an occasional start elsewhere.

  • Brewers recall Owen Miller on Tuesday
    Brewers recalled INF/OF Owen Miller from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Miller gets the call back to the big leagues over top prospect Tyler Black with Rhys Hoskins landing on the injured list with a hamstring strain. The 27-year-old went 1-for-12 in seven games for the Brewers earlier this season. Rotoworld Today, 3:00 pm

  • Jorge Polanco (hamstring) not in Tuesday’s lineup
    Jorge Polanco (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Royals.

    Advice: Polanco will sit out Tuesday’s contest to rest and recover following an early exit from Monday’s series opener due to right hamstring tightness. It’ll be Josh Rojas, who is batting .375 (21-for-56) with two homers and three steals in 16 games since being moved to the leadoff spot back on April 24, taking over at the keystone in his absence.

  • Absence continuing Tuesday
    Turner (illness) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: The 39-year-old will sit for the third consecutive game as he continues to deal with an illness, which has also afflicted teammates Kevin Kiermaier and George Springer, though Kiermaier is back in the lineup Tuesday. Turner should continue to be considered day-to-day heading into Wednesday's series finale in Baltimore. Rotowire.com Today, 2:27 pm

  • Running before rehab assignment
    Lewis (quad) did some light running on the field Tuesday and the Twins are ramping up his baserunning, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Per Park, Twins' head athletic trainer Nick Paparesta described the ramp-up as a big week of recovery for Lewis. The 24-year-old will do more aggressive change-of-direction stuff later this week that will give more insight to the timeline for his rehab assignment. Rotowire.com Today, 2:26 pm
