  • Sitting again Tuesday
    Rengifo (illness) is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Advice: Rengifo hasn't been in the lineup since Friday due to the illness, and his absence will extend to four games Tuesday. Cole Tucker will receive another start at the hot corner for the Halos. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago

  • On bench again
    Cabrera is out of the Yankees' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Cabrera will be available off the bench for a second straight game after making 22 straight starts at third base. Instead, Jon Berti will man the hot corner and bat ninth against Houston. Rotowire.com 52 minutes ago

  • Back in action Tuesday
    Candelario (shin) is starting at third base and batting eighth Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: The 30-year-old was scratched from Sunday's starting nine due to a left shin contusion but is good to go following Monday's team off day. Candelario's .634 OPS for the season remains unimpressive, but he's gone 6-for-18 with a double and a homer over his past five contests. Rotowire.com Today, 11:36 am
     
  • Draws fifth consecutive start
    Harris will start at third base and bat ninth in Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: The righty-hitting Harris has now started in five consecutive games at third base since being called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday, with three coming against left-handed pitchers and two coming against righties. Tyler Nevin will find himself as the odd man out of the lineup Tuesday against Rangers righty Jose Urena, but Harris may need to string together more strong performances to ensure he remains more than a short-side platoon player moving forward. Harris turned some heads with a two-homer performance in his second major-league game Saturday, but he's otherwise gone 1-for-10 at the dish in his other three starts.

  • Resumes hitting
    Diaz (calf) has resumed taking batting practice but is not yet running the bases, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The veteran began a light running program in mid-April, but as this latest report indicates, he hasn't progressed to carrying it out fully just yet. The fact Diaz is back to swinging a bat is certainly a positive, however, yet he appears to be at least a month away from his season debut given the expected length of the rehab assignment he'll require.

  • Taking seat Tuesday
    Nevin is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Nevin started the previous 14 games and posted an .858 OPS during that stretch, though he's now in the midst of an 0-for-14 slump. Brett Harris is starting at third base Tuesday for the fifth straight game, which has resulted in Nevin seeing more action in right field. Rotowire.com Today, 10:29 am

  • Keeps raking in Monday's loss
    Toro went 3-for-4 with a double in a loss to the Rangers on Monday.

    Advice: Toro authored one of two multi-hit efforts for the Athletics on the night, accomplishing the feat for the fifth time in the last six games overall. Toro has also reached safely in nine of the last 10 contests, a stretch during which he boasts a stellar .455 average, 1.197 OPS and impressively modest 13.9 percent strikeout rate.

  • Beginning rehab assignment
    Peraza (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Tampa on Tuesday.

    Advice: Peraza is finally ready to test things out in a game setting after working his way back from a right shoulder strain which he initially suffered back in late February. Given how much time he's missed, he will presumably require more than a handful of rehab games. Peraza also isn't a given to immediately be added to the big-league roster, although the status of DJ LeMahieu (foot) will be a factor. Rotowire.com Today, 9:59 am
