  • Will require rehab assignment
    Rodgers (hamstring) will be going on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque prior to being activated from the 10-day injured list, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

    Advice: After some speculation on whether he'd require a rehab assignment, Rodgers confirmed Tuesday he would indeed be heading to the Rockies' top minor-league affiliate before activation. The 27-year-old has been on the injured list since June 8 while recovering from a left hamstring strain, and he'll likely play in multiple contests with Albuquerque prior to being activated. With Rodgers on the cusp of returning, Adael Amador seems like a potential candidate to be sent down in the coming days. Rotowire.com Today, 2:22 pm

  • Cubs bring back Miles Mastrobuoni on Tuesday
    Cubs recalled INF/OF Miles Mastrobuoni from Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Mastrobuoni gets the call to replace an injured Mike Tauchman (groin) on Chicago’s active roster ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Giants. The 28-year-old offers plenty of defensive versatility, but has been a non-factor at the dish for several years at this juncture. He can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.

  • Three hits in Monday's loss
    Clement went 3-for-4 in Monday's loss to the Red Sox.

    Advice: Getting the nod at third base and batting eighth, the utility infielder out together his fourth straight multi-hit performance in a starting role. Clement's gone 9-for-13 over that blistering stretch with three doubles, a homer, two RBI and three runs as he takes advantage of Bo Bichette's absence to due to a calf issue. Even when Bichette is cleared to return, Clement's hot streak will likely keep him in the starting lineup for a Blue Jays squad scrambling to find offense wherever it can. Rotowire.com Today, 7:32 am

  • Swats fifth homer
    Albies went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's win over the Tigers.

    Advice: The second baseman belted the game-winning homer in the eighth inning off Shelby Miller in a 2-1 victory, giving Atlanta its only lead of the night. The long ball was only the fifth of the year for Albies, and the 27-year-old has had trouble finding any rhythm at the plate in June, slashing .206/.227/.397 over 15 games this month.

  • Rengifo comes off bench day after wrist injury
    Luis Rengifo came off the bench and struck out as a pinch-hitter Monday against the Brewers.

    Advice: He then remained in to play two innings at third base. Rengifo didn’t start because of a wrist injury suffered Sunday, but it seems like he’ll be fine. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:01 pm

  • Albies hits game-winning home run Monday
    Ozzie Albies went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Tigers on Monday.

    Advice: The home run was Albies’ fifth of the season. His blast off Shelby Miller with two outs in the eighth inning was the difference in the 2-1 victory for Atlanta. Albies’ ISO is now .140 on the season, which is a far cry from the .233 ISO he had last year when he hit 33 home runs in 148 games. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:49 pm

  • Might not need rehab assignment
    Rodgers (hamstring) went through a full workout Monday at Coors Field and the Rockies are still deciding whether he needs a rehab assignment before being activated, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

    Advice: Rodgers resumed baseball activities a few days ago and it appears he's continued to progress without issue. He's eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, and while there's no indication he'll return on that date, it doesn't appear to have been ruled out. Adael Amador has been filling in for Rodgers at second base but is likely to be sent back to Double-A Hartford once Rodgers is ready. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:15 pm

  • Out of lineup but available
    Rengifo (wrist) is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Brewers.

    Advice: Rengifo exited Sunday's loss to the Giants with a left wrist contusion as a result of a hit by pitch. The infielder said he'll be available off the bench Monday, so he would seem to have a good shot to return to the lineup Tuesday. Luis Guillorme will cover third base in Rengifo's stead.

  • Luis Rengifo (wrist) held out of starting lineup
    Luis Rengifo is out of Monday’s lineup with a wrist contusion, though he thinks he could play if needed.

    Advice: Rengifo was hurt while falling down in trying to make a play at third base yesterday. Luis Guillorme is starting at third base tonight. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:54 pm
