  • Tuesday’s Blue Jays vs. O’s game postponed (rain)
    Tuesday’s game between the Blue Jays and Orioles has been postponed due to inclement weather.

    Advice: So, this one is a surprise. There is some light rain in the forecast, especially for the later stages of the contest, but to make the call this early is a real stunner. It’ll be made up as a doubleheader on July 29. Tuesday’s original starting pitchers -- Chris Bassitt and Kyle Bradish -- will take the ball on Wednesday instead. Rotoworld Today, 2:47 pm

  • Designated for assignment
    The Pirates designated Fleming for assignment Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

    Advice: Fleming was torched for six runs (five earned) during Monday's win over the Brewers, causing his ERA to skyrocket from 3.50 to 5.68 on the season. Although his most recent outing was rough, his solid start to the season may still attract interest from other teams in need of bullpen depth. Ryder Ryan was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 2:46 pm
     
  • Throws simulated game
    Hall (knee) threw 35 pitches over two simulated innings Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Hall came out of the throwing session feeling like he's ready to make a rehab start, but he had not yet spoken to the medical staff to confirm that's the next step. The left-hander has been sidelined for the last three-plus weeks with a left knee sprain. Hall would probably need at least two rehab starts before being activated. Rotowire.com Today, 2:03 pm

  • Could make MLB start
    Basso was recalled from Double-A Midland on Tuesday.

    Advice: Basso is set to make his first MLB appearance of his career, being called up after logging a 2.84 ERA in 25.1 innings at Double-A. He made one start at Triple-A this year but surrendered nine runs on 10 hits in 2.1 innings. Basso replaces Easton Lucas on the major-league roster and has a shot at making a spot start due to Alex Wood (shoulder) and Osvaldo Bido (finger) dealing with minor injuries.

  • Adrian Houser no longer starting Wednesday
    Adrian Houser has been scratched from Wednesday’s start against the Phillies.

    Advice: Mets manager Carlos Mendoza declined to specify who will take Houser’s place after the 31-year-old righty was forced to warm up in the ninth inning during Tuesday’s contest against the Phillies. It’ll most likely be lefty Joey Lucchesi coming up from Triple-A Syracuse to make a spot start, but nothing official yet. Regardless of who winds up taking the ball, fantasy managers will want to steer clear of that matchup altogether. Rotoworld Today, 1:33 pm
     
  • Won't start Wednesday after all
    Houser will no longer start Wednesday in Philadelphia after warming up in the bullpen during Tuesday's game versus the Phillies, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: Houser had been set to rejoin the Mets' rotation after a brief demotion to the bullpen, but the club had him get loose when it looked like he might be needed in relief Tuesday. He ultimately did not pitch, but it will prevent him from being ready to start Wednesday. The team has not yet announced a start for Wednesday's contest. Rotowire.com Today, 1:25 pm
     
  • Rangers recall Jack Leiter to start vs. Guardians
    Rangers recalled RHP Jack Leiter from Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: Leiter draws the starting assignment for Tueasday’s matchup against the Guardians and offers some appeal for fantasy managers in deeper mixed leagues due to his strikeout potential. The 24-year-old prospect isn’t for the risk-averse as he’s been hit hard in a pair of spot starts this season in his first taste of the majors. He’s been outstanding at Triple-A Round Rock, posting a sparkling 2.84 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 37/8 K/BB ratio across 25 1/3 innings (five appearances, four starts) in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League.
