  • Out with strained triceps
    The Yankees placed Poteet on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right triceps strain, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: Poteet will be shut down from throwing for 1-to-2 weeks before being re-evaluated. He's fared well in four starts with the Yankees this season, posting a 2.14 ERA and 13:7 K:BB over 21 innings. However, with Gerrit Cole (elbow) due back this week, Poteet's future role was looking uncertain. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago

  • Anthony Rizzo heads to IL with forearm fracture
    Yankees placed 1B Anthony Rizzo on the 10-day injured list with a right forearm fracture.

    Advice: Rizzo is expected to miss at least 4-6 weeks after suffering a fracture in his right forearm last weekend during a first-base collision. The 34-year-old veteran first baseman hasn’t made much of an offensive impact, but he remains an excellent defender at the cold corner, which is where his loss will be felt the most over the next few weeks. There’s a chance he’s back at some point around the trade deadline. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
     
  • Idle Tuesday
    Murphy is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Murphy has struggled after missing the first two months of the season with an oblique injury, owning a .408 OPS and a 28.6 percent K rate across 56 plate appearances with Atlanta. As Murphy works through the slow start, Atlanta will turn to Travis d'Arnaud behind the plate Tuesday for the fourth time in nine games. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Placed on IL with lat strain
    The Yankees placed Hamilton on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right lat strain, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: Hamilton will be shut down from throwing for 3-to-4 weeks and will need time to ramp back up after that, so it's going to be an extended absence. It's not clear how long Hamilton's lat had been bothering him, but he had been struggling lately in allowing eight runs (seven earned) over his last four appearances. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago

  • Hitting open market
    Goodrum elected free agency Tuesday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Goodrum was outrighted to Triple-A Indianapolis by the Pirates on Monday but denied the assignment in favor of free agency. The 32-year-old has also spent time with the Angels and Rays this year, but he's submitted a .291 OPS and a 30.3 percent strikeout rate in the majors. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
     
  • Fernando Tatis Jr. gets first day off this season
    Fernando Tatis Jr. is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Phillies.

    Advice: It’s an extremely rare off day for Tatis, who has appeared in all 76 contests this season for San Diego. The 25-year-old corner outfielder has hit a bit of a frosty stretch over the last few days at the dish, batting .185 (5-for-27) with one homer and 10 strikeouts over his last seven games. He’ll get a quick breather to rest and recover before returning for Wednesday afternoon’s series finale. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago
     
  • Resting Tuesday
