  • Sitting against lefty
    Calhoun isn't in the Angels' lineup Tuesday versus the Yankees.

    Advice: With southpaw Nestor Cortes set to pitch for New York, the lefty-hitting Calhoun will step out of the lineup in favor of Cole Tucker, who will bat eighth while serving as the Angels' DH. Rotowire.com Today, 5:47 pm
     
  • Resting Tuesday
    Moniak isn't in the Angels' lineup Tuesday against the Yankees.

    Advice: Moniak will take a seat Tuesday after going 1-for-11 over his last four games. His absence will allow Kevin Pillar to start in center field while batting fourth. Rotowire.com Today, 5:45 pm

  • J.D. Davis exits Tuesday after being hit by pitch
    J.D. Davis left Tuesday’s game against the Rays after being hit by a pitch.

    Advice: Davis was hit on the left hand by a pitch and remained in the contest initially before being lifted for a defensive replacement in the ensuing frame. He’ll presumably head for X-rays to determine whether he suffered any fractures. Rotoworld Today, 5:45 pm

  • Rockies outright Matt Koch to Triple-A
    Rockies sent RHP Matt Koch outright to Triple-A Albuquerque.

    Advice: Koch unsurprisingly went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment last week by Colorado. The 33-year-old righty could wind up electing free agency, but will likely stick around as extra organizational depth. Rotoworld Today, 5:06 pm
     
  • Sitting Tuesday
    Duran isn't in the Rangers' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Duran will take a seat Tuesday despite putting together a respectable five-game hitting streak. His absence will allow Travis Jankowski to start in left field while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 5:03 pm

  • Returns from COVID-19 IL
    The Yankees reinstated Hamilton from the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: Hamilton landed on the IL on May 20, and he'll now return to the Yankees' bullpen after being out of action for one day more than the seven-day minimum. The 28-year-old sports a 3.18 ERA through 22.2 innings this season, and he figures to slide right back into a high-leverage role now that he's healthy. Rotowire.com Today, 4:52 pm
     
  • Yankees activate Ian Hamilton on Tuesday
    Yankees activated RHP Ian Hamilton from the COVID-19 injured list.

    Advice: Hamilton rejoins New York’s bullpen for Tuesday’s series opener against the Angels following a one-week absence on the COVID-19 injured list. Rotoworld Today, 4:36 pm
     
  • Making another rehab start
    Wicks (forearm) is starting for Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Wicks will make his second rehab appearance at Triple-A Iowa after going two scoreless innings with three strikeouts Friday. He's still in the process of getting stretched out, so it's expected Wicks will need a couple more rehab starts before being activated. Rotowire.com Today, 1:53 pm
     
  • Getting another turn in rotation
    Spence will start Tuesday's game against the Rays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Spence will make a third consecutive start for the A's after opening the season as a long reliever. Spence has lasted 4.2 innings and 3.0 innings across his first two starts, yielding three runs and striking out eight over that stretch. He's thrown 77 and 70 pitches during those two outings, respectively, and shouldn't be a viable fantasy option in most formats. Rotowire.com Today, 11:44 am
