  • Rejoining lineup Tuesday
    Arraez (shoulder) is batting leadoff as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Angels.

    Advice: The 27-year-old sat out Monday's contest due to an injury he suffered on a slide Sunday, and he'll be eased back into the lineup Tuesday in a non-defensive capacity. Arraez is in the midst of an eight-game hit streak, during which he's hitting .375 with no extra-base hits, five RBI and five runs. Rotowire.com 2 minutes ago

  • Keynan Middleton to undergo season-ending surgery
    Keynan Middleton will undergo season-ending flexor tendon surgery.

    Advice: Middleton signed a one-year, $6 million contract with the Cardinals back in early February and won’t end up throwing a pitch this season for the club. The 30-year-old righty landed on the shelf back in mid-March with a forearm strain and suffered multiple setbacks over the last few months before ultimately opting for season-ending surgery.

  • Beginning rehab assignment
    The Padres sent Otto (shoulder) to the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

    Advice: A right teres major strain has kept Otto on the shelf since spring training, though he now seems ready to test his shoulder in a competitive environment. The Padres have not specified how long the 28-year-old reliever's assignment might last, but an extended stay may be necessary after being shut down for more than two months.

  • Returns to Triple-A
    The Padres optioned Gillaspie to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

    Advice: Gillasplie was called up by San Diego over the weekend and will return to El Paso without appearing in a game. The right-hander has a 5.17 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB over 15.2 innings at Triple-A this season. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Out of lineup Tuesday
    Urshela is not in the Tigers' lineup Tuesday versus the Rangers.

    Advice: Urshela has six hits in the five games since he was last not in the lineup. A couple of those six hits cleared the wall for home runs, his first two of the season. Mark Canha will start at first for Urshela on Tuesday and Justyn-Henry Malloy will start as the DH. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago

  • Padres option Logan Gillaspie back to Triple-A
    Padres optioned RHP Logan Gillaspie to Triple-A El Paso.

    Advice: Gillaspie has been shipped out to make room for top pitching prospect Adam Mazur to ascend to the majors on Tuesday night for his big-league debut against the Angels. The 27-year-old righty has made a pair of scoreless relief appearances this season for San Diego. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting on bench Tuesday
    Baez is not in the Tigers' lineup Tuesday versus the Rangers.

    Advice: In the last 10 games, Baez has just four hits across 37 at-bats which equates to a .108 batting average in that span. Amidst the slump, the shortstop will take a seat with Zach McKinstry starting in his place, batting sixth Tuesday. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
     
  • Tigers activate Shelby Miller for Tuesday return
    Tigers activated RHP Shelby Miller from the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Miller returns to Detroit’s high-leverage mix ahead of Tuesday’s contest against the Rangers following a three-week absence due to nerve inflammation in his right elbow. The 33-year-old righty has recorded a pedestrian 4.41 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 15/6 K/BB ratio across 16 1/3 innings (15 appearances) this season in his Tigers debut. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago
