    • Returning from suspension Sunday
      Blanco (suspension) will be added to Houston's active roster to start Sunday at Oakland, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The Astros unsurprisingly won't waste any time reinserting Blanco into the rotation upon the completion of his 10-game ban. The right-hander threw live batting practice Monday and shouldn't face any significant limitations in his first start back. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
       
    • Cash: Ryan Pepiot starting Wednesday vs. Red Sox
      Ryan Pepiot (leg) will start on Wednesday against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Pepiot will be activated to take the ball on Wednesday against Boston after landing on the injured list earlier this month with a leg bruise after being hit by a 107.5 mph comebacker. The 26-year-old righty gets a decent matchup right away against the Red Sox at pitcher-friendly Tropicana Field. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago
       
    • Espada: Ronel Blanco likely back Sunday vs. A’s
      Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters Ronel Blanco will likely start on Sunday against the Athletics.

      Advice: Blanco is currently serving an automatic 10-game suspension for violating the league’s illegal foreign substance rules, but he’s in line for a tasty matchup in his return against the struggling Athletics. Fantasy managers should prepare to get him back in their lineups later this week. Rotoworld 53 minutes ago
       
    • Luis Matos batting third on Tuesday vs. Pirates
      Luis Matos is batting third on Tuesday against the Pirates.

      Advice: Giants manager Bob Melvin has bumped a sizzling-hot Matos up to the heart of the order for the first time this season. The 22-year-old former top prospect has batted a sublime .385 (10-for-26) with two homers and a staggering 16 RBI in seven contests since returning to the majors back on May 12. He’s absolutely worthy of a speculative roster spot in all fantasy formats, despite some lackluster underlying quality of contact metrics. Rotoworld Today, 2:01 pm
       
    • Running bases
      Lewis (quadriceps) ran the bases Monday, Betsy Helfand of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

      Advice: After starting with some light running last week, Lewis was able to run the bases for the first time Monday as he continues to rehab from a right quad strain. It's expected that Lewis will need a rehab assignment before returning, which could push his timetable for return into early June. Rotowire.com Today, 1:42 pm

    • Royce Lewis (quad) making progress in recovery
      Royce Lewis (quad) progressed to running the bases on Monday.

      Advice: Lewis will be re-evaluated later this week to determine where he’s at in his rehabilitation process from a severe right quad strain that he suffered back on Opening Day. The 24-year-old is getting close to starting a minor league rehab assignment and could return at some point next month, barring any setbacks. Rotoworld Today, 1:35 pm

    • Missing from Tuesday's lineup
      Caballero is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Caballero will get a day off Tuesday, giving way to Amed Rosario at the shortstop position. Caballero owns a .257/.315/.365 slash line across 164 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 12:00 pm
       
    • Spencer Steer (ankle) remains out Tuesday vs. SD
      Spencer Steer (ankle) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Padres.

      Advice: Steer will miss back-to-back games while dealing with his ankle injury. The 26-year-old will sit with Santiago Espinal at third and Jeimer Candelario again handling duties at first base. Rotoworld Today, 11:40 am

    • Out again Tuesday
      Steer (ankle) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

      Advice: Steer was held out of Sunday's game with an ankle injury and remains out of action after Monday's off day. The good news is Steer said Tuesday that he's feeling better and expects to be available off the bench, just as he was Sunday when he served in a pinch-hit capacity, per Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer.
