  • Back on concussion IL
    The Giants placed Bailey on the 7-day concussion IL on Tuesday, retroactive to Sunday.

    Advice: Bailey missed the Giants' last two games due to an illness, and he met with a team doctor Monday to determine whether or not his illness was related to the concussion he suffered earlier in May. He will now return to the concussion IL and will be eligible to return to action Sunday, though the Giants will likely be more cautious this time around before inserting him back into their lineup. Blake Sabol will take over as San Francisco's primary catcher while Bailey is out, and Marco Luciano will come up from Triple-A Sacramento to fill the open roster spot.

  • Giants put Patrick Bailey on 7-day concussion IL
    Giants placed C Patrick Bailey on the 7-day concussion injured list.

    Advice: No word yet on the exact nature of the injury that Bailey is dealing with, but he was set to miss his third straight contest on Tuesday night due to an illness that appears to be related to the concussion he suffered earlier this month. There is no timetable for his return at the moment as his long-term health is far more important than anything baseball-related. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:23 pm
     
  • Late scratch Tuesday
    Garver (undisclosed) was scratched from the Mariners' lineup Tuesday versus the Royals.

    Advice: Garver was originally set to operate as the team's designated hitter and bat third Tuesday, but he'll now take a seat. It's unclear what caused the 33-year-old to be scratched and more information will likely be provided following the contest. In the meantime, Mitch Haniger will slot in at designated hitter while Sam Haggerty will enter the lineup in left field and bat ninth against Kansas City. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:58 pm
     
  • Mitch Garver scratched from Tuesday’s lineup
    Mitch Garver has been scratched from the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Royals.

    Advice: No word yet on the reason for the change. The 33-year-old veteran slugger has been ice-cold this season in his Seattle debut, batting just .174 (21-for-121) with five homers and 13 RBI in 143 plate appearances over 36 contests. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:55 pm
     
  • Idle for nightcap
    Lee isn't in the White Sox's lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus Washington.

    Advice: Lee went 1-for-4 with a strikeout during a loss in Game 1, and he'll get a breather while Martin Maldonado starts behind the dish to conclude Tuesday's activities. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:02 pm
     
  • Patrick Bailey (illness) not in Tuesday’s lineup
    Patrick Bailey (illness) is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: No surprise here as Bailey is headed for further evaluation to determine whether his recent illness is related to the concussion he suffered earlier this month. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him land on the injured list at some point this week. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:07 pm
     
  • On bench Tuesday
    Herrera is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Angels.

    Advice: Since last taking a seat Thursday, Herrera has slashed .467/.556/.467 in a four-game span. In his absence, Pedro Pages has the start at catcher and will bat eighth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:02 pm
     
  • Good to go Tuesday
    Jansen (back) is starting behind the plate and batting fifth Tuesday against the Orioles.

    Advice: Jansen sat out Monday for the second straight game due to back spasms but is ready to play Tuesday. The fact the 29-year-old is immediately returning to work behind the plate indicates the injury wasn't a serious concern. Jansen has carried a hot bat through nine games in May with a 1.101 OPS in 28 at-bats. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:35 pm
     
  • Danny Jansen back in lineup Tuesday vs. O’s
    Danny Jansen (back) has returned to the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Orioles.

    Advice: Jansen is back handling the catching duties on Tuesday night following a two-game absence due to back spasms. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern moving forward. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:23 pm
