  • Francisco Alvarez (thumb) starting rehab Thursday
    Francisco Alvarez (thumb) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Binghamton on Thursday.

    Advice: That according to Mets manager Carlos Mendoza, who also told reporters the catcher is expected to be behind the plate for five to seven innings. Alvarez was able to take batting practice over the weekend, and the 22-year-old backstop was reportedly hitting the ball hard as he works his way back from the thumb injury that has kept him out since April. Assuming no setbacks occur in the rehab assignment, Alvarez could be back for the Mets in the middle of June, possibly sooner. Rotoworld Today, 10:36 am

  • Not starting Tuesday
    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in an interview on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that Trevino will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Angels.

    Advice: He's started 12 games to Austin Wells' 13 starts at catcher this month, although Wells' start Tuesday will be his fifth in the last seven contests. Wells also holds a slight edge on playing time overall this season, with 30 starts to Trevino's 26 starts. Rotowire.com Today, 10:08 am
     
  • Chris Taylor playing third base against Mets
    Chris Taylor is starting at third base and hitting seventh for the first game of a doubleheader against the Mets on Tuesday.

    Advice: Taylor is starting at the hot corner for the first time in 2024. The 33-year-old veteran has been atrocious so far in 2024 with a .101 average and .338 OPS over the first third of the campaign. Enrique Hernandez takes a seat for the first game of the twin-billing.

  • Slated to bat ninth in return
    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in an interview on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that LeMahieu (foot) will start at third base and bat ninth Tuesday versus the Angels in his season debut.

    Advice: LeMahieu had appeared in line for leadoff duties with the Yankees before suffering a non-displaced fracture of his right foot shortly before Opening Day. However, Anthony Volpe looks to have a tight grip on the leadoff job now, pushing LeMahieu to the bottom of the batting order for the time being. LeMahieu is slated to be the team's primary third baseman, although he will be given extra off days initially as the Yankees ease him back into action. Rotowire.com Today, 9:59 am

  • On bench for matinee
    Bader is out of the lineup for Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The 29-year-old has a .281/.361/.391 slash line through 21 games in May and will sit for the first game of Tuesday's twin bill. Tyrone Taylor will instead start in center field, though Bader will likely rejoin the lineup for Game 2. Rotowire.com Today, 9:46 am

  • Sitting out first game
    Marte is not in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Marte will surely be back among the starting nine for the second contest, but he'll begin the first one on the bench as the Dodgers send tough right-hander Tyler Glasnow to the hill. DJ Stewart will patrol right field in the first game. Rotowire.com Today, 9:35 am

  • Stays hot in Monday's win
    Crawford went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Astros on Monday.

    Advice: Crawford provided one of two multi-hit efforts for the Mariners on the afternoon while hitting safely for the sixth time in the last seven starts. The veteran shortstop has been clicking at the plate since his return an IL stay from an oblique injury, producing a .296 average and .848 OPS across his last 30 plate appearances despite a 26.7 percent strikeout rate in the same span.
