    • D-backs activate Alek Thomas for Tuesday return
      Diamondbacks activated OF Alek Thomas from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: Thomas will make his long-awaited return to Arizona’s lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Dodgers after missing three months due to a hamstring strain and a couple setbacks during his rehabilitation process. Rotoworld Tuesday, 3:36 pm
       
    • Back from injured list
      The Diamondbacks reinstated Thomas (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

      Advice: Thomas suffered a left hamstring strain during the fourth game of the season, and multiple setbacks have contributed to his three-month absence. Now, after playing in 10 rehab games between the Arizona Complex League and Triple-A, the 24-year-old outfielder has been cleared to return to the big-league roster. It's possible the D-backs have him sit occasionally as he gets used to facing MLB pitchers again, but he'll almost certainly reclaim his role as Arizona's primary center fielder. Blaze Alexander was optioned to Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:31 pm
       
    • Sitting against RHP
      Gordon is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Gordon is riding a seven-game hit steak, but he'll be idle for a second consecutive contest despite righty Kutter Crawford being on the mound for Boston. Bryan De La Cruz will fill left field and bat second Tuesday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:51 am

    • At least one more rehab game
      Thomas (hamstring) will remain with Triple-A Reno and play another game Tuesday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: After playing Tuesday, the team will reassess whether Thomas is ready to be activated. He sustained the injury during the fourth game of the season and has missed three months because of it. Thomas was originally anticipated to return in early May, but his rehab was paused twice since then. Rotowire.com Monday, 3:55 am
       
    • Idle against lefty
      Wisely is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Wisely will take a seat in favor of the righty-hitting Tyler Fitzgerald, who will cover second base while the Giants face off against southpaw James Paxton. Though he's still holding down a strong-side platoon role in the middle infield, Wisely's run as the Giants' primary leadoff man versus right-handed pitching has come to an end in the wake of LaMonte Wade's return from the injured list Friday. Wade had actually batted second both of the previous two days against right-handed pitching, but Jorge Soler moved into the leadoff spot while Wisely dropped to eighth in the order.

    • Idle against southpaw
      Sanchez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Sanchez will take a seat for the second time in the series as the Phillies send another southpaw (Ranger Suarez) to the hill. Dane Myers will replace Sanchez as the Marlins' starting right fielder. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:18 am

    • Taking seat against southpaw
      Gordon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Gordon will retreat to the bench while the Phillies send southpaw Ranger Suarez to the hill. Bryan De La Cruz will cover left field in Gordon's stead. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:16 am

    • Hitting bench against lefty
      Palacios is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

      Advice: He'll join fellow left-handed-hitters Josh Lowe, Brandon Lowe and Ben Rortvedt on the bench as the Rays stock up on extra right-handed bats with southpaw Patrick Corbin on the hill for Washington. Palacios has logged just 22 plate appearances against lefties all season. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:30 am
       
    • Getting regular reps in right field
      Johnson will start in right field and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Following his call-up from Triple-A El Paso on Monday, Johnson has now started in six consecutive games, with three apiece coming against left- and right-handed pitching. He's gone just 2-for-16 at the plate in the first five games, but he's drawn three walks while coming around to score twice. Johnson looks like he'll be the preferred option in right field over David Peralta while Fernando Tatis (quadricep) is on the injured list. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:10 am
