    • William Contreras back in lineup Tuesday vs. Halos
      William Contreras is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Angels.

      Advice: Contreras is back at designated hitter following a one-game absence for precautionary reasons following a scary-looking home-plate collision over the weekend. The positive development here for the Brewers, and fantasy managers, is that the 26-year-old backstop has been cleared of a potential concussion. Rotoworld Tuesday, 3:45 pm
       
    • Back in lineup Tuesday
      Contreras (head) is serving as the Brewers' designated hitter and batting second Tuesday against the Angels.

      Advice: Contreras had to sit out Monday's contest after he was hit in the head during a play at the plate Sunday. He now seems to be in good enough shape to play again, though it will be Gary Sanchez behind the dish catching for Tobias Myers. Contreras still holds a .305 batting average on the season, but he has struggled to find consistent success recently, slashing just .232/.246/.321 since the start of June.

    • Making season debut Saturday
      Scherzer (back/thumb) will return from the injured list and start against the Royals on Saturday, Jim Bowden of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Scherzer has been on the injured list all season while recovering from offseason back surgery and battling thumb/forearm injuries throughout his rehab process. However, after experiencing no issues following his latest rehab start at Triple-A Round Rock, the 39-year-old veteran has officially been given the green light to return to the Rangers' rotation. He posted a 4.91 ERA and 1.18 WHIP alongside a 17:3 K:BB through 11 innings during his assignment, and it's unclear if the right-hander will be working under any restrictions during his return to a big-league mound.

    • Report: Max Scherzer to make ’24 debut Saturday
      The Athletic’s Jim Bowden reports Max Scherzer (back, thumb) will make his season debut on Saturday against the Royals.

      Advice: It’s a soft landing spot for Scherzer, who is finally set to make his season debut after undergoing offseason back surgery and dealing with a nerve-related thumb issue during his rehabilitation process. The 39-year-old veteran isn’t the fantasy stalwart anymore from earlier in his career, but can still make an impact for fantasy managers on a per-start basis moving forward.

    • Lands on injured list
      The Blue Jays placed Bichette on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to June 15, with a right calf strain.

      Advice: The 26-year-old hasn't seen the field since Friday due to the calf issue and will be sidelined for at least another week after being diagnosed with a strain. According to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca, manager John Schneider expects Bichette to return from the injured list when first eligible June 25. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is starting at shortstop Tuesday and could operate as Toronto's primary option there for the immediate future, and Orelvis Martinez was called up and should also see infield action while Bichette is sidelined.

    • Blue Jays place Bo Bichette on IL with calf strain
      Blue Jays placed INF Bo Bichette on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain.

      Advice: Bichette has been dealing with soreness in his right calf, and rather than wait for the infielder to get ready and play short-handed, the Blue Jays will take precaution and place the star shortstop on the injured list. He’ll miss at least a week, but a more concrete timeline should be available shortly. In the meantime, Orelvis Martinez is taking Bichette’s place on the active roster. Rotoworld Tuesday, 12:23 pm

    • Bo Bichette (calf) remains out of lineup vs. BOS
      Bo Bichette (calf) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Bichette has not been able to play since Friday due to soreness in his right calf. The shortstop has reportedly made progress, but not enough to get him back in the lineup just yet. Isiah Kiner-Falefa gets another start at shortstop with Bichette out. Rotoworld Tuesday, 12:07 pm

    • Corbin Carroll (side) leading off Tuesday vs. Nats
      Corbin Carroll (side) is leading off and playing center field against the Nationals on Tuesday.

      Advice: Carroll is back in the lineup after leaving Sunday’s game against the White Sox with discomfort in his side. The 23-year-old had an MRI back clean, and it’s great news for fantasy managers and the Diamondbacks that last year’s Rookie of the Year is back in action. Rotoworld Tuesday, 11:34 am
       
    • Corbin Carroll (side) ‘penciled in’ Tuesday lineup
      Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told reporters before Tuesday’s game that Corbin Carroll is “penciled in” to the lineup against the Nationals.

      Advice: Carroll underwent an MRI on his side, and it came back clean without structural damage. The Diamondbacks could take precaution if he’s still sore before Tuesday’s contest, but it’s good news for Arizona and fantasy managers that at the very least, he’s avoided a significant injury.
