    • Luis Arraez returns to lineup Tuesday vs. Angels
      Luis Arraez (shoulder) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Angels.

      Advice: Arraez is back at designated hitter and leading off on Tuesday night in Los Angeles following a brief one-game absence due to relatively minor right shoulder and neck issues. The 27-year-old contact-oriented infielder has been excellent since arriving in San Diego, batting .391 (43-for-110) with one homer and three steals across 26 contests.

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

      Advice: The 27-year-old sat out Monday's contest due to the shoulder/neck 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 batting .375 with no extra-base hits, five RBI and five runs. Rotowire.com Today, 3:38 pm
       
    • Kyle Tucker (shin) absent from Tuesday’s lineup
      Kyle Tucker (shin) is absent from the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Cardinals.

      Advice: The encouraging development here for fantasy managers is that X-rays came back negative for any fractures and Tucker hasn’t been placed on the injured list yet following an early exit from Monday’s series opener after fouling a ball off his right shin. It’ll be Mauricio Dubón taking over in right field on Tuesday evening in his absence. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment. Rotoworld Today, 1:29 pm

    • Out Tuesday, still DTD
      Tucker (lower leg) isn't part of the Astros starting lineup Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Tucker will get the day off after fouling a ball off his right shin Monday night. While X-rays came back negative and manager Joe Espada said Tucker is "feeling better", the outfielder will continue to have his leg examined to ensure that he's merely dealing with a bruise. The Astros could opt to sit Tucker on Wednesday considering it has a team day off Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:48 pm

    • Luis Arraez (shoulder) doesn’t play against Angels
      Luis Arraez, day-to-day with a shoulder injury, was quite obviously not available as a pinch-hitter Monday in a 2-1 loss to the Angels.

      Advice: Padres manager Mike Shildt indicated before the game that Arraez might be available off the bench tonight but then held him out while using David Peralta and Tyler Wade as pinch-hitters in the seventh and ninth innings, respectively. It could be a sign that the Padres are downplaying their concern with Arraez’s shoulder after he was injured Sunday. We’ll check back in on Tuesday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:19 pm
       
    • Avoids significant injury
      Tucker has been diagnosed with a bruised right shin and X-rays on the area came back negative, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

      Advice: Tucker appeared to be in serious pain after fouling a ball off his shin during Monday's game against the Cardinals, but he seems to have escaped a significant injury. He'll be considered day-to-day and will likely be re-evaluated again Tuesday morning to determine his availability for the rest of the week. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:26 pm

    • Kyle Tucker day-to-day with shin contusion
      Kyle Tucker is day-to-day after being diagnosed with a right shin contusion.

      Advice: X-rays were negative after Tucker fouled a pitch off his leg tonight. If he can’t go Tuesday, it increases the chances that Chas McCormick will get a start. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:26 pm

    • Kyle Tucker exits game with shin injury
      Kyle Tucker left Monday’s game in the third inning after fouling a ball off his right shin.

      Advice: Unfortunately, it got him just above the shin guard he wears on the leg. With any luck, this will just be a day-to-day injury for Tucker. Mauricio Dubón replaced him against the Cardinals. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:24 pm

    • Exits with shin injury
      Tucker left Monday's game against the Cardinals after fouling a ball off his right shin, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Tucker was down in pain for a few minutes and did seemingly everything in his power to remain in the game, but he was ultimately removed. Mauricio Dubon entered the matchup to finish the at-bat. The extent of Tucker's injury is unclear at this time. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:15 pm
