    • Can't take advantage of offense
      Lodolo came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 12-6 win over the Rockies, giving up four runs on five hits and a walk over 3.2 innings. He struck out four.

      Advice: The Reds staked Lodolo to a 5-0 lead after two innings, but the southpaw struggled with his command and served up a pair of homers to Brenton Doyle and Michael Toglia in the fourth inning before getting the hook after 69 pitches (36 strikes). Lodolo has failed to complete five innings in back-to-back outings, but that comes on the heels of four straight quality starts. He'll try to get back on track in his final trip to the mound before the All-Star break, as he lines up for a home start against the Marlins this weekend. Rotowire.com Today, 7:38 am
       
    • Nick Lodolo shaky after rain delay
      Nick Lodolo was chased after 3 2/3 innings on Tuesday against the Rockies. He allowed four earned runs, struck out four batters, and walked one in a no-decision.

      Advice: Lodolo started this game with two stellar innings before a storm rolled in and forced a 40 minute rain delay. He was nowhere near as sharp after the break and only completed one more full inning. It was frustrating for him to have such a disjointed return from injury against a soft Rockies lineup. He’s scheduled to face the Marlins at home in his last start before the All-Star break. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:11 pm
       
    • Successful bullpen session Tuesday
      Kelly (shoulder) completed a bullpen session Tuesday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

      Advice: Kelly, along with teammates Jordan Montgomery (knee) and Eduardo Rodriguez (shoulder), all threw bullpen sessions Tuesday, and manager Torey Lovullo said all three pitchers "felt good" afterwards. Kelly hasn't pitched since being placed on the injured list April 23 with a right shoulder strain, and his mid-August return timeline gives him the furthest return date of the trio of injured starters.

    • Twins-White Sox postponed Tuesday
      Ober and the Twins won't face the White Sox on Tuesday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in Chicago.

      Advice: Tuesday's game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Wednesday, and Ober will take the mound for the first of the two games, per Dan Hayes of The Athletic. The 28-year-old righty owns a 2.53 ERA and 1.03 WHIP over 32 innings across his last five starts and will be matched up against MLB's lowest-scoring offense (301 total runs).

    • Reds activate Nick Lodolo for start vs. Rockies
      Reds activated LHP Nick Lodolo from the 15-day injured list.

      Advice: Lodolo returns to take the ball for Tuesday’s series opener against the Rockies at Great American Ball Park following a two-week absence due to a blister. The 26-year-old southpaw boasts a sparkling 2.96 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 73/19 K/BB ratio across 70 innings (12 starts). Simply put, Lodolo’s established himself as an upper-echelon fantasy contributor, when healthy, over the last three years. The key will be whether he can avoid long-term absences moving forward.

    • Activated for Tuesday's start
      The Reds reinstated Lodolo (finger) from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday against the Rockies.

      Advice: The left-hander will step back into Cincinatti's rotation after spending the 15-day minimum on the shelf due to a blister. Lodolo has been lights out through 12 starts this season with a 2.96 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 73:19 K:BB across 70 innings, and he shouldn't have much, if any, of a workload restriction given the brevity of his absence.

    • Hitting off tee this week
      Casas (ribs) is expected to start hitting off a tee this week, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

      Advice: Casas has been taking dry swings since June 26 but will progress to hitting off a tee later this week. The first baseman isn't expected to begin a rehab assignment until after the All-Star break, but it's possible he'll be activated near the end of July. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:30 pm

    • Yordan Alvarez back in lineup Tuesday vs. Marlins
      Yordan Alvarez (knee) has returned to the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Marlins.

      Advice: Alvarez is back at designated hitter and batting third for Tuesday’s series opener against the Marlins following a brief one-game absence due to a right knee contusion stemming from a hit by pitch over the weekend against the Twins. It’s a welcome sign for fantasy managers as it seems to signal that the 27-year-old fantasy superstar is going to be able to play through the ailment until next week’s Midsummer Classic.

    • Gleyber Torres returns to lineup Tuesday vs. Rays
      Gleyber Torres (groin) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Rays.

      Advice: Torres is back at second base and batting fifth for Tuesday’s series opener in Tampa Bay following a two-game absence over the weekend due to right groin tightness. The Yankees are hoping that the extra rest will be enough to finally put the lingering issue to bed. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:17 pm
