  • Not facing lefty
    McNeil is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Washington.

    Advice: McNeil will dodge a matchup with southpaw Mitchell Parker on Wednesday. Instead, Jose Iglesias will play second base and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:56 pm

  • Clubs third homer
    Schneemann went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Schneemann has gone 10-for-41 (.244) with three homers and nine RBI over his last 13 games. The utility man is at a .262/.356/.508 slash line over his first 73 plate appearances in the majors, which has been enough to keep him in the lineup fairly regularly. He's seen most of his recent playing time between center field and right field, offering a left-handed-hitting option to complement righties Tyler Freeman and Jhonkensy Noel.

  • Launches rehab assignment
    Baez (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

    Advice: Baez has been out since June 11 while dealing with lumbar inflammation, but he now appears to be on the cusp of returning to the major-league roster. The shortstop will likely play in multiple games with Toledo before being activated from the 10-day injured list. Baez has struggled to a .183/.209/.247 slash line with one home run, 25 RBI, 15 runs scored and six stolen bases over 53 games this season, not providing much value to fantasy managers.

  • Idle Tuesday
    Ortiz isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Tuesday's game versus Colorado.

    Advice: Ortiz was held hitless in five at-bats during his return to the lineup Monday after missing the Brewers' last three games due to a neck injury. He'll get a day to regroup Tuesday while Andruw Monasterio starts at the hot corner and bats ninth. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:35 pm

  • Javier Báez (back) starting rehab assignment
    Javier Báez (back) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Toledo.

    Advice: Báez has been on the shelf since mid-June due to back inflammation and will likely need at least a handful of rehab contests to get back up to speed. It would be an understatement to say that his time in Detroit has been a colossal disappointment since signing a six-year, $140 million deal as a free agent back in 2022. Rotoworld Tuesday, 2:06 pm

  • Marlins recall Xavier Edwards from Triple-A
    Marlins recalled INF Xavier Edwards from Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: Edwards is taking the roster spot of Tim Anderson, and he’s likely to see the bulk of reps at shortstop in Anderson’s place. The speedy infielder could help with steals, but isn’t a recommended fantasy option for those who aren’t disparate for help in that category. Rotoworld Tuesday, 12:12 pm
     
  • Back in action
    Brujan (undisclosed) is batting seventh and playing second 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 second 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 Tuesday, 11:54 am

  • 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.
