  • 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 19 minutes ago

  • Max Muncy (oblique) out until mid-to-late June
    Max Muncy (oblique) remains shut down from baseball activities.

    Advice: Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Tuesday that Muncy will remain sidelined for a couple more weeks after experiencing discomfort last week in his right oblique. There isn’t a definitive timetable for him to return at the moment, but it’s safe to assume he won’t be back until at least mid-to-late June. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago

  • Geraldo Perdomo (knee) nearing rehab assignment
    Geraldo Perdomo (knee) is close to starting a minor league rehab assignment.

    Advice: Perdomo will head to the nearby Rookie-level Arizona Complex League for a handful of contests before shifting to facing some higher-level competition at Triple-A Reno. The 24-year-old shortstop has been out since early April recovering from surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his right knee. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago

  • Elects free agency
    Smith elected to become a free agent Tuesday.

    Advice: Smith has not registered a big-league plate appearance this season despite enjoying two separate stints with the Yankees. Rather than returning to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on an outright assignment, he'll look to secure a deal elsewhere in free agency. The 27-year-old owns a mere .516 OPS during his major-league career, so it's unlikely he nets anything more than another minor-league deal. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago

  • Officially activated
    The Yankees reinstated LeMahieu (foot) from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: A fracture of LeMahieu's right foot has kept him on the injured list all season, but he will return to make his season debut Tuesday while starting at third base and batting ninth. The 35-year-old veteran will act as New York's primary third baseman going forward, though he's expected to receive a handful of off days initially as the Yankees attempt to ease him back into action.

  • Yankees activate DJ LeMahieu for season debut
    Yankees activated INF DJ LeMahieu from the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: The saga is finally over. LeMahieu will make his season debut on Tuesday night following a two-mont absence recovering from a fracture in his right foot, and a couple setbacks along the way. The 35-year-old veteran figures to draw most of his starts at the hot corner moving forward and bat near the bottom of New York’s lineup. Rotoworld 43 minutes ago

    Advice: Smith has opted to explore his options in the free agent pool after refusing an outright minor league assignment from New York. The 27-year-old infielder got into a pair of contests for the Yankees, but didn’t end up receiving a plate appearance. Rotoworld 47 minutes ago

  • Sitting down for nightcap
    Martinez isn't in the Mets' lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Dodgers, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: After a 1-for-4 effort in Game 1, Martinez will get a breather to conclude Tuesday's activities. DJ Stewart will instead get the nod as New York's DH and bat fourth. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago
