    • McKenzie hit hard in no-decision against Royals
      Triston McKenzie allowed five runs on nine hits in 5 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Royals on Tuesday.

      Advice: McKenzie allowed four extra-base hits on the day but three of them were home runs, including two by Bobby Witt Jr. The lanky right-hander was able to pitch well after word came out that he was pitching through a tear in his throwing elbow; however, he’s now allowed 12 earned runs over 15 1/3 innings in his last three starts. McKenzie’s off-speed pitches posted 10 whiffs on 19 swings, but his four-seam fastball didn’t miss bats and got hit hard. Given his injury and lack of velocity, McKenzie is walking a tightrope and doesn’t need to be held in all fantasy leagues. He now has a 4.16 ERA on the season heading into a tasty matchup against the Marlins on Sunday. Rotoworld Today, 6:13 pm
       
    • Kyle Tucker (shin) absent from Tuesday’s lineup
      Kyle Tucker (shin) is absent from the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Cardinals.

      Advice: The encouraging development here for fantasy managers is that X-rays came back negative for any fractures and Tucker hasn’t been placed on the injured list yet following an early exit from Monday’s series opener after fouling a ball off his right shin. It’ll be Mauricio Dubón taking over in right field on Tuesday evening in his absence. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment. Rotoworld Today, 1:29 pm

    • Andrés Giménez returns to lineup Tuesday vs. Royals
      Andrés Giménez returned to the lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Royals.

      Advice: Giménez is back at second base and batting second for Tuesday’s series opener against the Royals following a two-game absence due to an undisclosed injury. Rotoworld Today, 1:05 pm
       
    • Out Tuesday, still DTD
      Tucker (lower leg) isn't part of the Astros starting lineup Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Tucker will get the day off after fouling a ball off his right shin Monday night. While X-rays came back negative and manager Joe Espada said Tucker is "feeling better", the outfielder will continue to have his leg examined to ensure that he's merely dealing with a bruise. The Astros could opt to sit Tucker on Wednesday considering it has a team day off Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:48 pm

    • Officially activated from IL
      The White Sox activated Robert (hip) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

      Advice: Robert wound up missing more than two months of action with a Grade 2 right hip flexor strain. The center fielder went just 3-for-27 during eight rehab games, although two of those hits were home runs. Robert is not expected to be an everyday player right out of the chute upon his activation, as he will have some extra off days mixed in as he eases back into things. He is, however, in Tuesday's lineup versus the Cubs, batting third and playing center field. Rotowire.com Today, 12:42 pm
       
    • Luis Robert Jr. (hip) officially activated off IL
      White Sox activated OF Luis Robert Jr. off the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: Robert Jr. is officially back to handle center field for the White Sox after missing close to two months with his hip injury. The 26-year-old may have some rust to shake off, but fantasy managers are well aware of what Robert Jr. is capable of at his best. He’ll take the place of Tommy Pham, with Pham on the injured list with an ankle sprain. Rotoworld Today, 12:35 pm
       
    • Luis Robert Jr. (hip) returning to lineup Tuesday
      The White Sox will activate Luis Robert Jr. off the 10-day injured list to start Tuesday against the Cubs.

      Advice: Robert Jr. went just 3-for-27 in his rehab games, but the most important thing is that the 26-year-old came out of those contests healthy. He’ll offer potential help in all five categories — even with the White Sox lineup not offering a ton of run-producing chances — and should be activated immediately by fantasy managers.

    • Returning from IL on Tuesday
      Robert (hip) will be activated from the 10-day injured list and return to the White Sox lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Cubs, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

      Advice: Robert has been sidelined since early April with a Grade 2 right hip flexor strain but is ready to roll after he went 3-for-27 with two home runs over eight rehab games. While Robert is in the lineup Tuesday, manager Pedro Grifol has previously noted that his center fielder will be given extra off days initially as he eases back into action.

    • Avoids significant injury
      Tucker has been diagnosed with a bruised right shin and X-rays on the area came back negative, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

      Advice: Tucker appeared to be in serious pain after fouling a ball off his shin during Monday's game against the Cardinals, but he seems to have escaped a significant injury. He'll be considered day-to-day and will likely be re-evaluated again Tuesday morning to determine his availability for the rest of the week. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:26 pm
