Scratched with sore hamstringOrtiz was scratched from the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays due to right hamstring soreness, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Advice: The third baseman was penciled in atop the order with lefty Yusei Kikuchi pitching for Toronto but will instead be held out due to the hamstring issue. Andruw Monasterio replaced him at third base and the leadoff spot. Ortiz should be considered day-to-day heading into Wednesday's series finale versus the Blue Jays.

Joey Ortiz scratched Tuesday with hamstring injuryJoey Ortiz has been scratched from Tuesday’s lineup due to right hamstring soreness.
Advice: Not great. Ortiz has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball over the last few weeks, batting .298 (31-for-104) with four homers, 15 RBI and three steals over his last 30 games. The hope here is that his absence for Tuesday’s contest against the Blue Jays is merely out of an abundance of caution. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

Requires more rehab timeThe Rockies elected not to activate Jones (knee/back) from the 10-day injured list Monday as previously planned, as the club determined that the outfielder needs more time in the minors to find his proper swing, MLB.com reports.
Advice: Before he was placed on the IL on April 30 with a low-back strain, Jones had gotten off to a disappointing start to the season, slashing just .170/.243/.277 with a 35.9 percent strikeout rate over 103 plate appearances. After starting up a rehab assignment in mid-May, Jones played in just three games before being shut down with a left knee injury, but he was cleared to report back to Triple-A Albuquerque on June 2. Though Jones hasn't reported any issues with his back or knee since returning to action, he's still hitting just .231 with a 36.7 percent strikeout rate in his seven games during the second rehab assignment. The Rockies likely want to see Jones find some success in the minors prior to activating him, so the 26-year-old could remain with Albuquerque through at least Thursday before the Rockies return home Friday to begin a series with the Pirates.

Ryan McMahon in 7-for-57 slumpRyan McMahon went 0-for-4 on Sunday, leaving him 7-for-57 in his last 16 games.
Advice: McMahon’s OPS has dropped from .891 to .780 during the stretch, putting him much closer to his usual career numbers. McMahon’s exit velocity numbers are better than ever, and there’s reason to think he’s a truly improved player this season. Still, there was little chance he was going to keep batting .300, as he did for most of the first eight weeks. RotoworldRyan McMahonCOL - 2B,3B4:40 pm @MIN -
Joey Ortiz goes 0-for-4, fans three timesJoey Ortiz went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts as the Brewers’ leadoff man Sunday against the Tigers.
Advice: Those who picked Ortiz up after an outburst in which he hit four homers in a nine-game span last month might be somewhat disappointed that he has no homers in his last 20 games. Still, his average and OBP remain strong, and he’s not a bad play in mixed leagues while playing every day for the Brewers. It’d just be nice if he hit higher than seventh or eighth against righties; he’s only leading off versus left-handers. RotoworldJoey OrtizMIL - 2B,3B5:10 pm vs TOR -
Out of Sunday's lineupHayes is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Advice: Hayes had started nine of 10 games since he returned from his back injury in late May, with the lone absence coming in a doubleheader. The 27-year-old has a .745 OPS in 33 at-bats since coming back from the injury, and Sunday's rest day will give him two straight days to take it easy since the Pirates have a team day off Monday. Jared Triolo will man the hot corner in the series finale versus Minnesota. Rotowire.comKe'Bryan HayesPIT - 3B4:45 pm @STL -
Ke’Bryan Hayes not in lineup Sunday vs. TwinsKe’Bryan Hayes is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s tilt against the Twins.
Advice: Hayes will get Sunday off as the Pirates look to sweep the Twins. The 27-year-old takes a seat with Jared Triolo hitting seventh and playing third versus Bailey Ober and Minnesota. RotoworldKe'Bryan HayesPIT - 3B4:45 pm @STL -
Swipes fourth bagHayes went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Twins.
Advice: The third baseman is up to four steals on the season, and all of them have come in his last eight games. Hayes is also batting .323 (10-for-31) over that stretch with a homer, four RBI and six runs, and he seems fully recovered from the back issues that cost him most of May and which may have contributed to his .239/.317/.318 slash line in April.

Joey Ortiz leading off again Tuesday vs. PhilliesJoey Ortiz is leading off on Tuesday against the Phillies.
Advice: Ortiz has been bumped up to the top spot in Milwaukee’s lineup on several occasions over the last few weeks as his breakthrough campaign continues. The 25-year-old rookie infielder is batting .302 (29-for-96) with four homers and two steals over his last 30 games. Perhaps more impressive is the fact that he’s walked more times (16) than he’s struck out (15) during that span. RotoworldJoey OrtizMIL - 2B,3B5:10 pm vs TOR
