    Urshela is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: The Tigers will reward Matt Vierling's two-homer performance Sunday by giving him another start at the hot corner, pushing Urshela out of the starting lineup against Jared Jones. Urshela is slashing .273/.312/.318 without a home run across 93 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Today, 11:53 am

  • DFA'd by Oakland
    The Athletics designated Nevin for assignment Tuesday.

    Advice: Nevin had a strong start to his campaign for the Athletics with an .875 OPS through his first 25 games, but a 1-for-43 slump will end up costing him his place on the 26-man active roster and 40-man roster. Aledmys Diaz (calf) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 11:31 am

    Diaz (calf) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: Diaz has missed the first two months of the 2024 campaign with a strained right calf he sustained in early March. He appeared in 10 games at Triple-A during his rehab assignment and slashed .154/.313/.308 with six walks and five strikeouts in 32 plate appearances. He figures to compete with Max Schuemann and Abraham Toro for work at shortstop and third base. Rotowire.com Today, 11:29 am

  • Tyler Nevin removed from 40-man roster by A’s
    Athletics designated INF Tyler Nevin for assignment.

    Advice: Nevin hit .220 with four homers and a .649 OPS while he was with Oakland. He now hits the waiver wire, and if he goes unclaimed he’ll likely report back to Triple-A Las Vegas. Rotoworld Today, 11:26 am

  • Chris Taylor playing third base against Mets
    Chris Taylor is starting at third base and hitting seventh for the first game of a doubleheader against the Mets on Tuesday.

    Advice: Taylor is starting at the hot corner for the first time in 2024. The 33-year-old veteran has been atrocious so far in 2024 with a .101 average and .338 OPS over the first third of the campaign. Enrique Hernandez takes a seat for the first game of the twin-billing.

    Vientos is not in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Dodgers.

    Advice: It will be Brett Baty handling third base and being tasked with trying to solve right-hander Tyler Glasnow. Vientos figures to be in the lineup for the nightcap against Gavin Stone. Rotowire.com Today, 9:37 am
