  • Ha-Seong Kim draws rare day off on Tuesday night
    Ha-Seong Kim is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Phillies.

    Advice: It’s an extremely rare day off for Kim, who has started every game for San Diego since May 23. The 28-year-old is struggling a little bit over the last few weeks, batting .213 (10-for-47) with two homers and six steals over his last 15 contests. It’ll be Tyler Wade drawing a rare start at shortstop on Tuesday evening against the Phillies. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago

  • Josh Smith returns to lineup Tuesday vs. Mets
    Josh Smith is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Mets.

    Advice: Smith is back at designated hitter for Tuesday’s contest against the Mets after missing four straight games due to general soreness. It could be a few additional days before he’s ready to get back onto the field defensively, but it’s an encouraging development that the Rangers are able to get his bat back into the lineup. The 26-year-old infielder has been excellent this year, batting .294/.384/.436 with four homers and four steals across 243 plate appearances. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago

  • Back in lineup
    Smith (hamstring) is batting third as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Mets.

    Advice: Smith missed four straight games with tightness in his upper hamstring but will rejoin the lineup Tuesday. While he's healthy enough to play, the Rangers are opting to ease Smith into action in a non-defensive capacity, giving him his first start at DH this season. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago

  • Oneil Cruz sitting against lefty on Tuesday
    Oneil Cruz is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Reds.

    Advice: Cruz, who has been dealing with a sore ankle over the last few days, will take a seat to open Tuesday’s contest with lefty Nick Lodolo toeing the rubber for Cincinnati. The 25-year-old shortstop boasts a .734 OPS with nine homers and five steals in 262 plate appearances over 64 games so far. Rotoworld 48 minutes ago

  • Getting breather
    Amador is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Amador will get the day off Tuesday after making eight consecutive starts at second base. Alan Trejo will bat ninth and play the keystone. Amador is just 3-for-29 (.103) since being called up. Rotowire.com 51 minutes ago
     
  • Making first-ever start at third
    Crawford (hamstring) will start at third base and bat eighth in Tuesday's game in Miami.

    Advice: It's the first time in Crawford's 14-year major-league career that he's played a position other than shortstop. Crawford had to leave his last game on Sunday versus the Cubs with a left hamstring cramp, but he's ready to roll now. Rotowire.com Today, 12:41 pm
     
  • Called up to big leagues
    The Blue Jays recalled Martinez from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

    Advice: Martinez is taking the roster spot vacated by Bo Bichette (calf), who has landed on the 10-day injured list. It's the first major-league promotion for Martinez, who has slashed .260/.343/.523 with 16 home runs over 63 games this season with Buffalo. The 22-year-old can play second base, third base and shortstop, although he hasn't seen any time at the latter position this season. Martinez should see some action at second and/or third base while Bichette is out, with Isiah Kiner-Falefa likely to settle in at shortstop. Rotowire.com Today, 12:28 pm
