  • Back in action
    Brujan (undisclosed) is batting eighth and playing third base Tuesday against Boston.

    Advice: Brujan was scratched from Saturday's game against Philadelphia for unspecified reasons and remained out of the lineup for Sunday's contest. However, he'll enter the starting nine at third base Tuesday while Xavier Edwards plays shortstop. With Tim Anderson booted from the 40-man roster, Brujan should see regular playing time in the infield moving forward. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago

  • Sitting against RHP
    Gordon is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Gordon is riding a seven-game hit steak, but he'll be idle for a second consecutive contest despite righty Kutter Crawford being on the mound for Boston. Bryan De La Cruz will fill left field and bat second Tuesday. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago

  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The Marlins recalled Edwards from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Edwards is taking the roster spot vacated by Tim Anderson, who has been designated for assignment. The switch-hitting Edwards could also get a shot at shortstop in Anderson's place, although he will have to contend with Vidal Brujan there for playing time. Edwards is a potential stolen-base contributor in fantasy should he receive regular reps, although it's a question as to whether he'll ultimately hit enough to be able to take advantage of that speed.

  • Launches first homer
    Iglesias went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's extra-inning win over the Nationals.

    Advice: Getting the start at second base against southpaw MacKenzie Gore and batting eighth, Iglesias didn't make his mark until the 10th inning, when he drove the first pitch Jordan Weems threw over the center-field fence to wrap up a six-run frame for the Mets. While his first homer of the season came against a right-hander pitcher, Iglesias has thrived in his short-side platoon role, producing a 1.147 OPS in 29 plate appearances against lefties since joining New York's big-league roster.

  • Socks fourth homer
    Clement went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Astros.

    Advice: The 28-year-old utility player wasn't even supposed to be in the starting lineup, but a late scratch for Isiah Kiner-Falefa (knee) inserted Clement at third base, and he wound up taking Josh Hader deep in the ninth inning to spoil a combined shutout bid for Houston. The long ball was his fourth of the season, setting a new career high, and he's slashing .333/.347/.563 in 49 plate appearances since the beginning of June. Should Kiner-Falefa require an IL stint, Clement could see a big uptick in playing time, although Addison Barger would also be in the mix at third base. Rotowire.com Today, 7:45 am

  • Joey Ortiz (neck) returns to Brewers lineup
    Joey Ortiz is back at third base Monday after a three-game absence due to neck stiffness.

    Advice: Ortiz is leading off with the Brewers facing a lefty tonight. He’ll continue to hit low in the order against righties. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:00 pm
     
  • Isiah Kiner-Falefa undergoes MRI on knee
    Isiah Kiner-Falefa said he underwent an MRI after feeling something in his left knee while stretching prior to Monday’s game.

    Advice: This doesn’t sound good. Kiner-Falefa, who is putting together a terrific season as a super-utilityman, was a last-minute scratch before the game today. If he lands on the injured list, it’ll probably mean more regular playing time for Davis Schneider and a longer look for Addison Barger. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:18 pm

  • Undergoes MRI on knee
    Kiner-Falefa is awaiting results of an MRI on his left knee, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

    Advice: Kiner-Falefa was a late scratch from Monday's lineup against the Astros after feeling something in his knee while stretching pregame. Ernie Clement was in the lineup for the Blue Jays on Monday at third base, where Kiner-Falefa has been seeing most of his playing time. It's possible an update on Kiner-Falefa's status will be available later Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:11 pm

  • Returning to Milwaukee lineup
    Ortiz (neck) will start at third base and bat leadoff in Monday's game in Colorado.

    Advice: Ortiz has been absent from the Brewers' lineup for the previous three contests due to neck discomfort, but he's been cleared to return for the start of a road trip. The 25-year-old returns to a .275/.380/.455 batting line. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:45 pm
