    • Royce Lewis exits game with groin tightness
      Royce Lewis was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Tigers with left groin tightness.

      Advice: Here we go again. The Twins are calling Lewis day-to-day following his early exit from Tuesday’s series opener against the Tigers, so it’s possible his removal was merely out of an abundance of caution. We’ll see. The injury-plagued 25-year-old burgeoning fantasy star was 1-for-2 with a two-run double off Tigers ace Tarik Skubal prior to leaving the contest. There should be some clarity on his status prior to Wednesday’s showdown. Rotoworld Tuesday, 5:59 pm

    • Athletics recall Brett Harris on Tuesday
      Athletics recalled 3B Brett Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas.

      Advice: Harris has struggled at the plate in a handful of contests this season for Oakland, but he’s going to get another shot with veteran Aledmys Díaz being designated for assignment. Rotoworld Tuesday, 3:18 pm
       
    • Idle Tuesday
      Ortiz isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Tuesday's game versus Colorado.

      Advice: Ortiz was held hitless in five at-bats during his return to the lineup Monday after missing the Brewers' last three games due to a neck injury. He'll get a day to regroup Tuesday while Andruw Monasterio starts at the hot corner and bats ninth. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:35 pm

    • Returns to majors
      The Athletics recalled Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

      Advice: Since being optioned to Triple-A in late May, Harris has slashed .366/.458/.659 with three homers and nine RBI in 11 games. He'll now get another chance to prove himself in the big leagues after the A's pushed Aledmys Diaz off their 40-man roster Tuesday. Harris started exclusively at third base during his previous stint with Oakland, where he'll now likely have to compete with Tyler Nevin for playing time until Abraham Toro (hamstring) returns from the IL.

    • Sitting again Tuesday
      Vierling (foot) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Minnesota, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

      Advice: The 27-year-old was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to left foot soreness and will sit again Tuesday following Monday's team off day. Vierling was hit by a pitch during Saturday's contest and had preliminary X-rays come back clean. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:58 pm
       
    • Matt Vierling remains out Tuesday with foot issue
      Matt Vierling (foot) remains absent from the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Twins.

      Advice: Vierling will get another day off to rest and recover after being scratched from Sunday’s series finale against the Angels due to left foot soreness. It’ll be Riley Greene patrolling center field in his absence with Akil Baddoo stepping into the lineup to cover left field. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:51 pm
       
    • Josh Jung still dealing with right wrist soreness
      Josh Jung is day-to-day with soreness in his surgically-repaired right wrist.

      Advice: Jung told reporters Tuesday that he hasn’t swung a bat since his last minor league rehab contest back in mid-June and they’re taking things day-by-day at the moment. The 26-year-old third baseman doesn’t appear close to rejoining the Rangers’ lineup at this point and it’s unclear when he’ll be ready to return to game action. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:43 pm

    • Taking seat Tuesday
      Merrifield is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Merrifield's playing time has been trending upward lately, starting four of the Phillies' previous six games. However, he'll yield to Brandon Marsh in left field for Tuesday's series opener in Chicago. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:41 pm
       
    • Still not swinging bat
      Jung (wrist) has not been cleared to swing a bat, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Jung has not swung a bat since his last rehab game on June 20 and admitted Tuesday that his surgically repaired right wrist remains sore. A specialist has confirmed that nothing is structurally wrong with the wrist, but the lingering discomfort is worrisome. There's no timetable for Jung's return. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:23 pm
