  • Activated, optioned to Triple-A
    The Mets reinstated Kranick (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Kranick has been on the injured list since the start of the season due to a Grade 2 left hamstring strain he suffered during spring training. He made four total rehab appearances between the Mets' Single-A and Double-A affiliates, allowing five earned runs across 7.2 innings, and he'll now move onto Triple-A as he comes off the IL. The 26-year-old right-hander owns a 5.56 ERA across 43.2 big-league innings and hasn't pitched in the majors since 2022. Rotowire.com 1 minute ago
     
  • Taijuan Walker to make season debut on Sunday
    Taijuan Walker (shoulder) will make his season debut on Sunday against the Padres.

    Advice: It’s seems like it’ll wind up being Spencer Turnbull heading back to the bullpen with Walker set to return from a nearly one-month stint on the injured list due to right shoulder soreness. The 31-year-old righty doesn’t quite offer enough strikeout upside to merit consideration for fantasy purposes outside of extremely deep mixed leagues at this point. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago
     
  • Remains out Tuesday
    Mountcastle (knee) isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Knee soreness kept Mountcastle from playing in Monday's contest, though manager Brandon Hyde said the 27-year-old was available off the bench for that game. He will remain in the dugout once again Tuesday, allowing Ryan O'Hearn to start at first base while Anthony Santander serves as Baltimore's DH and Heston Kjerstad covers right field.

  • Back in action Tuesday
    Happ (hamstring) is starting in left field and batting second Tuesday against the Astros, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: The 29-year-old sat out Saturday and Sunday with hamstring soreness after exiting Friday's contest, but he's ready to retake the field following Monday's team off day. Happ has been in a slump over his past nine games, going 4-for-35 after he posted a .933 OPS in his first 40 at-bats of the campaign. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago

  • Not starting Tuesday
    Biggio isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup for Tuesday's game against Kansas City.

    Advice: Biggio will get a day to rest Tuesday after going 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored during Monday's victory. His absence will allow Davis Schneider to start at the keystone while batting sixth. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago

  • Cubs summon Matt Mervis back to majors on Tuesday
    Cubs recalled 1B Matt Mervis from Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Mervis looked completely overwhelmed last year in his first taste of the majors, struggling to a disastrous .531 OPS in 99 plate appearances before being jettisoned to the minors for good by mid-June. The 26-year-old slugger has positively mashed at the Triple-A level, but needs to prove he can hold his own at the highest level before fantasy managers should consider handing him a roster spot. There’s certainly some talent here, but last year’s persistent struggles shouldn’t be forgotten. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago

  • Day off Tuesday
    Jansen isn't in Toronto's lineup for Tuesday's game aganist the Royals.

    Advice: Jansen will get a breather after going 1-for-4 with a double during Monday's series opener. Alejandro Kirk will step in as the Jays' catcher and bat seventh. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
     
  • Batting eighth in season debut
    Mervis was recalled from Triple-A Iowa and is batting eighth as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Astros, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: The 26-year-old was called up as expected Tuesday and will immediately make his way into the starting nine. Michael Busch has earned an everyday role at first base with his hot start to the season, so Mervis is likely to see most of his playing time at designated hitter, especially while Seiya Suzuki (oblique) remains sidelined.
