• Exits rehab game early
    LeMahieu (foot) was forced to exit his rehab start with Double-A Somerset in the second inning, Randy Miller of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Advice: LeMahieu left the contest after striking out in the top of first frame and playing third base in the bottom of the inning. He was making his first start with Somerset and was expected to appear in three more contests before returning to the major-league roster. The 35-year-old is now set to undergo examinations on his foot in New York on Wednesday according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. More information on his status will be provided following the testing, but it certainly appears as if LeMahieu suffered a setback in his recovery of a bone bruise and fracture in his right foot.

  • DJ LeMahieu exits rehab debut with foot soreness
    DJ LeMahieu was removed from Tuesday’s minor league rehab game for Double-A Somerset due to right foot soreness.

    Advice: It’s not what you want to see. LeMahieu struck out in his lone plate appearances and lasted just one inning at third base in his rehab assignment debut before leaving the contest. It’s a notable development since he was expected to play at least a couple innings in this one. The 35-year-old veteran, who has been out since spring training due to a non-displaced fracture in his right foot, is heading back to New York to be re-evaluated. Not good. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago

  • Moving closer to return
    Stefanic (quadriceps) has been taking ground balls and batting practice, and he is scheduled to resume running progression Tuesday, per MLB.com.

    Advice: Stefanic landed on the injured list March 28 after straining his left quad in his first Cactus League contest in late February. The 28-year-old's progress toward a return was slowed by a setback mid-March, but he appears to be back on the road to recovery. Stefanic could feasibly be ready to resume game action by the end of April, though he will likely need a minor-league rehab assignment given that he logged only one plate appearance in spring training.

  • Not in Tuesday's lineup
    Toro is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Toro started the previous 14 games but will take a seat after he posted a .686 OPS during that stretch. Tyler Nevin will man the hot corner while Esteury Ruiz bats leadoff for the A's. Rotowire.com 59 minutes ago
     
  • Absent from lineup again
    Drury is not in the lineup versus the Orioles on Tuesday.

    Advice: Drury took a seat in Monday's game versus the Orioles after returning to the lineup Friday. The second baseman was dealing with a hamstring injury prior to playing in all three contests of the weekend against the Reds. This marks the second consecutive game he will not start with Luis Rengifo starting at second and batting eighth Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 2:48 pm

  • Not starting Tuesday
    Biggio isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup for Tuesday's game against Kansas City.

    Advice: Biggio will get a day to rest Tuesday after going 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored during Monday's victory. His absence will allow Davis Schneider to start at the keystone while batting sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 2:15 pm

  • Blaze Alexander (hamstring) remains out of lineup
    Blaze Alexander (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Alexander will miss his third straight contest due to a relatively minor right hamstring issue that cropped up over the weekend. The 24-year-old rookie slugger has been outstanding so far in his first taste of the majors with a stratospheric .945 OPS with three homers, 13 RBI and one steal through 18 contests.. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. It’ll be veteran Kevin Newman drawing another start at shortstop in his absence. Rotoworld Today, 1:54 pm
     
  • Jonathan India (illness) remains out of lineup
    Jonathan India (illness) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Phillies.

    Advice: India will sit out his third straight contest due to illness. It’ll be Santiago Espinal drawing another start at the keystone in his ongoing absence. Rotoworld Today, 1:44 pm
     
  • Tracking toward return next week
    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that LeMahieu (foot) could be activated for the team's April 29-May 2 series in Baltimore, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: LeMahieu will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Tuesday and is slated to play four games before being activated if all goes well. The veteran infielder is coming back from a bone bruise and non-displaced fracture in his right foot. He should become the Yankees' primary third baseman upon his return, with Oswaldo Cabrera shifting back to a utility role. Rotowire.com Today, 1:33 pm
