  • Sitting out with hamstring issue
    Drury is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rays after exiting Monday's contest with a hamstring injury, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: It's unclear at this point whether it could potentially be a multi-game absence for Drury, who was lifted for a pinch-runner Monday following his last plate appearance. For now, consider him day-to-day. Luis Rengifo is handling second base Tuesday. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago

  • Back on bench Tuesday
    Schanuel is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest in Tampa Bay.

    Advice: Schanuel returned to the lineup Monday after missing a game with a testicular contusion, but he'll now head back to the bench for Tuesday's contest. Miguel Sano will occupy first base and bat cleanup for the Angels. Schanuel went 0-for-5 Monday and is now just 4-for-42 on the season. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
     
  • Taking seat Tuesday
    Santana is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Baltimore.

    Advice: Alex Kirilloff will get the nod at first base while Santana takes a seat. It's the second day off of the season for Santana, who is slashing an ugly .135/.224/.154 over his first 14 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 11:06 am
     
  • Remains out of lineup
    Bryant (back/ribs) remained out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: It's the third straight start Bryant has missed after he had to be removed from Saturday's game versus the Blue Jays due to soreness in his right ribcage and back. The Rockies will roll with Charlie Blackmon at designated hitter, Elehuris Montero at first base and Michael Toglia in right field. Rotowire.com Today, 10:40 am

  • Rehab assignment on tap
    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday in an interview with Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that he expects LeMahieu (foot) to begin a rehab assignment this weekend.

    Advice: LeMahieu has been ramping up baseball activities and is nearly ready to test things out in game action as he comes back from a bone bruise and non-displaced fracture in his right foot. He should return to the top of the Yankees' depth chart at third base once he's ready, but LeMahieu could also yield some starts to Oswaldo Cabrera at the hot corner given Cabrera's hot start. LeMahieu also no longer looks to be a candidate to bat leadoff in the short term due to Anthony Volpe establishing himself at the top of the batting order. Rotowire.com Today, 8:30 am

  • Option for starts in outfield
    White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Monday that Sheets could see some action in the outfield, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

    Advice: Sheets is one of the few White Sox players that's been hitting, so using him in the outfield would allow the club to keep his bat in the lineup even after the return of Eloy Jimenez. While he's a natural first baseman, most of Sheets' playing time at the major-league level has come in the outfield, so it's not foreign to him. He should receive fairly regular reps in the outfield versus righties while he's swinging a hot bat. Rotowire.com Today, 8:24 am
     
  • Three hits in loss
    Arraez went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Monday's loss to the Giants.

    Advice: All three hits were singles, but that's par for the course for Arraez. The reigning NL batting champ had a slow start to the season but quickly found his form, and he's hit safely in five straight games while going 8-for-20. The surge has lifted Arraez's slash line to .284/.368/.343 with 12 runs scored, but he has zero homers or steals and only one RBI. Rotowire.com Today, 7:17 am

  • Extends homer streak to five
    Busch went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks Monday in the Cubs' 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Busch's leadoff blast off Merrill Kelly in the top of the sixth inning extended his home-run streak to five games, tying four other Cubs players for the longest streak in franchise history. Notably, all five of Busch's home runs during the streak have come at road venues, which offers hope that the rookie's power surge can continue once the weather warms up at Wrigley Field, which has been a fertile hitting environment for left-handed batters in recent years. Managers that took a chance on Busch in the later rounds of drafts are relishing in the early returns, as he's provided a .327 average, six home runs, 12 RBI and nine runs through 16 games.

  • Getting day off
    Canha is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: It looks to be a routine day off for the veteran outfielder. With Canha getting some rest, Riley Greene will be in left field and Wenceel Perez will handle right. Rotowire.com Today, 6:42 am
