  • Astros recall Trey Cabbage on Tuesday
    Astros recalled OF Trey Cabbage from Triple-A Sugar Land.

    Advice: Cabbage provides Houston with a little more of an offensive threat off the bench than Grae Kessinger and also represents extra outfield insurance with Kyle Tucker dealing with a shin contusion. The 27-year-old has omnipresent contact issues, but he certainly can do some damage when he connects. Rotoworld Today, 2:40 pm

  • Astros option Grae Kessinger to Triple-A
    Astros optioned INF Grae Kessinger to Triple-A Sugar Land.

    Advice: Kessinger has played sparingly this season for Houston in a bench role, going 0-for-11 with five strikeouts in 11 contests. The 26-year-old heads back to the minors with Trey Cabbage coming back up to the big leagues. Rotoworld Today, 2:38 pm

  • Kris Bryant remains out Tuesday with rib soreness
    Kris Bryant (rib) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Reds.

    Advice: Bryant will sit out his second consecutive contest due to lingering rib soreness stemming from a twisting catch during the club’s previous series against the Dodgers. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 2:32 pm

  • Batting eighth in debut
    Dunn is in the Reds' lineup Tuesday versus the Rockies.

    Advice: Dunn got the call-up fro Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday. He now finds himself set to make his MLB debut as the starting left fielder, batting eighth against left-hander Ty Blach. Spencer Steer is starting at first base and outfielder Will Benson is out of the lineup. Rotowire.com Today, 2:29 pm
     
  • Idle versus lefty
    Benson is not in the Reds' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

  • On bench vs. lefty
    Fraley is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rockies.

    Advice: With the Rockies sending southpaw Ty Blach to the mound Tuesday, the lefty-hitting Fraley will take a seat Tuesday. With him out of the lineup, Tyler Stephenson will serve as the DH and Luke Maile will start at catcher. Rotowire.com Today, 2:12 pm
     
  • Sitting versus southpaw
    Pederson is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: It's Arizona's fourth straight game against a left-handed starting pitcher, and Pederson will end up having started just one of those contests. The veteran slugger is mired in a 4-for-23 slump over his past eight games. Blaze Alexander will bat eighth as the designated hitter Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 2:00 pm
     
  • To miss at least a month
    Manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday that Carter (back) will be out for at least a month, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Carter was placed on the 10-day IL on May 28 with lower back tightness. However, as Bochy notes, the injury is worse than initially thought and is being considered a "stress reaction". It seems as though Carter will have to start from square one and will probably require a handful of rehab outings before being able to return. In the meantime, Watt Langford and Ezequiel Duran should handle most of the work in left field. Rotowire.com Today, 1:58 pm

  • Evan Carter to miss one month with back injury
    Rangers manager Bruce Bochy told reporters Tuesday that Evan Carter will miss at least one month with a stress reaction in his back.

    Advice: Not great. Bochy added that Carter isn’t dealing with a stress fracture, which would’ve required a much lengthier absence, but he’s facing a lengthier absence than originally anticipated when he hit the injured list last week with a back sprain. The 21-year-old top prospect is likely going to be on the shelf until sometime after next month’s All-Star break, even in a best-case scenario. Fantasy managers in re-draft formats can probably move on, especially in shallow mixed leagues. Rotoworld Today, 1:56 pm
