  • Sitting for nightcap
    Winn isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against Detroit, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Winn went 1-for-4 during St. Louis' Game 1 victory, and he'll get a breather to conclude Tuesday's twin bill. Brandon Crawford will fill in at shortstop and bat eighth during the nightcap. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago

  • Throwing bullpen session
    Snell (thigh) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Advice: Snell landed on the shelf last week with a Grade 2 adductor strain, but he wasn't shut down from throwing for long. The left-hander hopes to spend close to the 15-day minimum on the injured list, though he seems likely to be sidelined a bit longer. A specific timeline for Snell's return could come into focus as he ramps up his throwing program. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Idle versus lefty
    Carpenter isn't in the Tigers' lineup versus the Cardinals for the last game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

    Advice: The Cardinals are starting southpaw Steven Matz on the bump for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader, which sends Carpenter to the bench. With him on the bench, Wenceel Perez will occupy right field and bat seventh. Additionally, Mark Canha has the start as the designated hitter and will bat third. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago

    Suwinski isn't starting Tuesday against the Athletics, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Advice: Southpaw Alex Wood will toe the slab Tuesday for the A's, forcing the left-handed bat of Suwinski to step out of the lineup. Edward Olivares will start in right field instead and bat fifth. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
     
  • Red Sox acquire Bailey Horn from White Sox
    Red Sox acquired LHP Bailey Horn from the White Sox for cash considerations.

    Advice: Red Sox president of baseball operations Craig Breslow’s familiarity with Horn from their time with the Cubs the last few years certainly appears to have been a factor in this move. The 26-year-old lefty was removed from the White Sox’ 40-man roster earlier this week and will head to Triple-A Worcester as extra organizational depth for the Red Sox. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
     
  • Resting Tuesday
    Cruz isn't in the Pirates' lineup Tuesday against the Athletics, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Advice: Cruz is slashing .094/.121/.094 against left-handed pitchers this season, so he will get a day off with Alex Wood set to take the mound for Oakland. Alika Williams will take his place at shortstop while batting ninth. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting versus lefty
    Tellez isn't in the Pirates' lineup Tuesday versus Oakland, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Advice: With left-hander Alex Wood set to start on the mound for the A's, the lefty-hitting Tellez will step out of the lineup. Connor Joe will fill in at first base Tuesday and bat third. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
     
  • Matt Manning starting second game of Tuesday DH
    Matt Manning will serve as the Tigers’ 27th man for Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Manning will take the ball for the nightcap of Tuesday’s twin bill in Detroit. It’ll be his third big-league start this season as he’s gotten the ball a couple times in early-season doubleheaders. There’s limited streaming appeal here, but he might be worthy of a dice roll in extremely deep mixed leagues. Rotoworld 38 minutes ago

  • Mike Trout to undergo left knee surgery
    Mike Trout will undergo surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan and Alden González.

    Advice: It’s a devastating development for the Angels, and fantasy managers, as Trout was in the midst of a remarkable renaissance campaign this season with a robust .867 OPS to accompany a major league-leading 10 home runs and six steals through 29 games. Passan and González add that the procedure isn’t expected to be season-ending. However, it appears likely that Trout is going to require an extended absence. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago
