  • Taking seat Tuesday
    Moniak is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Moniak will be on the bench Tuesday against righty Cristian Javier, despite having the advantage as a left-handed hitter. Instead, Kevin Pillar will play center field and bat fifth. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago
     
  • Rehabbing at High-A
    The Yankees transferred Vivas' (undisclosed) rehab assignment Tuesday from Single-A Tampa to High-A Hudson Valley.

    Advice: Vivas remains on Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's 7-day injured list with an unspecified injury, which has prevented him from playing with the affiliate since April 24. The infielder appears to be closing in on a return to the Triple-A club, however, after going 1-for-11 with three walks and a stolen base across his four rehab appearances with Tampa last week.

  • Royce Lewis (quad) making progress in recovery
    Royce Lewis (quad) progressed to running the bases on Monday.

    Advice: Lewis will be re-evaluated later this week to determine where he’s at in his rehabilitation process from a severe right quad strain that he suffered back on Opening Day. The 24-year-old is getting close to starting a minor league rehab assignment and could return at some point next month, barring any setbacks. Rotoworld 4 minutes ago

  • Returns to lineup Tuesday
    Hoerner (hamstring) will start at second base and bat sixth in Tuesday's game versus Atlanta.

    Advice: Hoerner hasn't played in more than a week due to a left hamstring injury, but he's finally feeling well enough to give it a go Tuesday. Dansby Swanson is also back from an injured list stint, so the Cubs will have their middle infield duo back together for the first time since May 7. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago

  • Works in relief Monday
    Hernandez gave up two earned runs on two hits over an inning of relief in Monday's 6-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: After being called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City last Wednesday, Hernandez ended up starting in the Dodgers' series finale in San Francisco, covering six innings while giving up three earned runs in a losing effort. With an off day coming up Thursday, the Dodgers weren't in need of an additional starter this week, so Hernandez shifted to the bullpen. He'll likely work mostly in lower-leverage spots while he remains up with the Dodgers. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Gerrit Cole (elbow) not ruling out June return
    Gerrit Cole (elbow) faced hitters on Tuesday in a 22-pitch live batting practice session.

    Advice: Cole told reporters afterwards that he came out of facing hitters for the first time since landing on the injured list back in spring training without any issues. The 33-year-old fantasy ace added that he wouldn’t rule out a potential return at some point next month. He’ll presumably face hitters a couple more times before heading out for a handful of minor league rehab starts to build up his pitch count and stamina. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago

  • Not starting Tuesday
    Velazquez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Velazquez will sit for a second straight game, leaving DH duties to Adam Frazier on Tuesday. Since May 10, Velazquez is 8-for-28 (.286) with a three-run home run. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Plays light catch
    Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said that Senga (shoulder/triceps) played light catch Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Senga -- who is on the injured list with a right posterior shoulder capsule strain -- had to have a scheduled bullpen session Sunday scrapped due to right triceps tightness. The hope is that he'll be able to throw off a mound later this week, though, and it's a good sign that he was able to do any kind of throwing Tuesday. Senga's timetable for a return is open-ended.

  • Brewers recall Tobias Myers on Tuesday
    Brewers recalled RHP Tobias Myers from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Myers provides Milwaukee’s overworked bullpen with some emergency length and could wind up replacing Joe Ross (back) in the starting rotation after he landed on the injured list. The 25-year-old righty holds a lackluster 5.29 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 17/9 K/BB ratio across 17 innings (four starts) this season in his big-league debut. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago
