    • Nico Hoerner available off bench on Tuesday vs. Rays
      Nico Hoerner (hand) remains absent from the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Rays.

      Advice: Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters Hoerner is available off the bench after getting through an extensive hitting session on Tuesday afternoon. There’s some optimism the 27-year-old second baseman will be able to play through the issue, and should return to the lineup soon, but he remains on the bench to open a three-game set down in Tampa Bay.

    • Out again Tuesday
      Hoerner (hand) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Rays.

      Advice: Hoerner is dealing with a small fracture in his right hand and will miss a fourth straight start. The hope still seems to be that he can avoid the injured list and play through some discomfort, but he's not ready to do that just yet. Michael Busch is getting a second straight start at second base Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 2:02 pm

    • Mulling season-ending wrist surgery
      Reds manager David Bell revealed Tuesday that Encarnacion-Strand is considering season-ending surgery to repair ligament damage in his right wrist, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Encarnacion-Strand initially went on the 10-day injured list in early May with a fracture in the wrist, but subsequent testing has apparently shown ligament damage. If the infielder opts against surgery, it's not clear how much longer he might be sidelined. Encarnacion-Strand slashed only .190/.220/.293 with two home runs in 29 games before getting hurt.

    • Bell: CES weighing season-ending hand surgery
      Reds manager David Bell told reporters Tuesday that Christian Encarnacion-Strand has ligament damage in his right hand and is considering season-ending surgery.

      Advice: Ugh. Not great. Encarnacion-Strand has been brought along slowly in his recovery from last month’s right hand fracture and was only recently cleared to resume baseball activities. The 24-year-old slugger has yet to be cleared to resume swinging a bat and it sounds like season-ending surgery hasn’t been ruled out as a potential option to address the ligament damage in his hand. Obviously his long-term health is the greater concern here, but it’s a tough loss for Cinciannti, and fantasy managers, if he’s not coming back this season. Rotoworld Today, 1:42 pm
       
    • Gunnar Henderson gets day off Tuesday vs. ATL
      Gunnar Henderson is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against Atlanta.

      Advice: Henderson has played in all 65 games thus far, but at least to begin the game, he’ll take a seat for the opener against Atlanta. Jordan Westburg is leading off for the Orioles, and Jorge Mateo (concussion) is off the injured list to get the start at shortstop. Henderson should be back in action Wednesday.

    • Getting breather Tuesday
      Henderson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Henderson will get his first day off of the season after appearing in each of the Orioles' first 65 games of 2024. The breather comes on the 12th day of a streak of 17 straight games. Jorge Mateo (concussion) was activated from the 7-day IL and will start at shortstop and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 12:15 pm
       
    • Rafael Devers (knee) back in lineup Tuesday
      Rafael Devers (knee) is hitting cleanup and playing third base against the Phillies on Tuesday.

      Advice: Devers missed Sunday’s game while dealing with soreness in his knee, but he’s back in the lineup for Tuesday’s opener against the Phillies. The 27-year-old will face off against Zack Wheeler while Bobby Dalbec retreating to the bench. Rotoworld Today, 12:07 pm
       
    • Hitting cleanup in return
      Defers (knee) is batting fourth and playing third base Tuesday against Philadelphia, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

      Advice: Devers missed Sunday's game with left knee soreness but he's back in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener. He's 8-for-25 (.320) with three homers through seven games in June and owns a .932 OPS on the year. Rotowire.com Today, 12:01 pm
       
    • X-ray, MRI comes back negative
      The Astros are hopeful Diaz can avoid the injured list after an X-ray and MRI on his right index finger came back negative, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 in Houston reports.

      Advice: Diaz is still dealing with swelling in the finger after it was hit by a foul tip during Sunday's game against the Angels. While a decision on a potential IL stint has not yet been made, it sounds like Diaz is trending toward avoiding it for now. The Astros are set to recall Cesar Salazar as insurance behind the plate, so it seems as though Diaz will be unavailable to catch for a few more days. He was available to pinch hit Monday, so it's possible Diaz will serve as a designated hitter until he's ready to catch. Rotowire.com Today, 10:39 am
