  • Needs knee surgery
    Trout will undergo surgery on his knee in the near future, but the extent of the injury is not clear, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: It's unclear when the injury surfaced for Trout, as he had started all 29 games for the Angels this season. It's unclear how long the 32-year-old will be sidelined, though the surgery isn't expected to be season ending. Trout should be considered out indefinitely until more information is available.

  • Jack Flaherty posts 14 strikeouts vs. Cardinals
    Jack Flaherty recorded a career-high 14 strikeouts over 6 2/3 scoreless innings on Tuesday in a no-decision against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Flaherty authored a brilliant performance against his former club in the opening contest of Tuesday’s doubleheader, striking out seven straight batters to open the contest, falling two shy of Pablo López’s league record of nine consecutive punch outs, en route to his 12th career double-digit strikeout effort. He generated an astronomical 24 swinging strikes and finished with a sublime 46 percent CSW. He was saddled with a tough no-decision after Detroit’s bullpen coughed up the lead in the ninth inning to keep him winless on the. year. The 28-year-old righty will carry an outstanding 4.00 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 50/5 K/BB ratio across 36 innings (six starts) into a road matchup on Monday against the Guardians. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago

  • Sits again Tuesday
    Encarnacion-Strand (hand) isn't in the Reds' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: Encarnacion-Strand will sit for the third straight game after taking a pitch off his left hand during Saturday's win over Texas. He was available off the bench Monday and may still be used if needed Tuesday, but Jeimer Candelario will be the one starting at first base while Santiago Espinal covers the hot corner.

  • On bench versus lefty
    Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: For the first time this season, Lux will begin the game on the bench for a second consecutive game. This is due to Arizona starting a southpaw for two straight games with Jordan Montgomery on the mound Tuesday. Miguel Rojas will start at second base and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago

  • CES (wrist) to miss third straight game Tuesday
    Christian Encarnacion-Strand (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Padres.

    Advice: Encarnacion-Strand will miss his third consecutive contest since being drilled on the hand during Saturday’s game against the Rangers. The positive news here is that he didn’t suffer any fractures and should be ready to return at some point this week. It’ll be Santiago Espinal handling the hot corner on Tuesday night in his absence.

  • Remains sidelined Tuesday
    Stephenson (hand) isn't in the Reds' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: Stephenson hasn't started a game since being hit in the hand by a pitch during Saturday's game against the Rangers, though he was available off the bench for Monday's contest and presumably is also available if needed Tuesday. In the meantime, Luke Maile will pick up another start behind the plate and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
     
  • Tyler Stephenson (wrist) misses third straight game
    Tyler Stephenson (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Padres.

    Advice: Stephenson will miss his third straight contest due to an ongoing wrist issue. He’s presumably day-to-day until further notice. It’ll be Luke Maile handling the catching duties on Tuesday evening. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago
     
  • Tim Anderson (thumb) not in Tuesday’s lineup
    Tim Anderson (thumb) is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Anderson suffered a left thumb sprain during Monday’s series opener. If there’s a positive takeaway it’s that he hasn’t landed on the injured list yet so fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago

  • Absent from lineup Tuesday
    Muncy is not in the Dodgers' lineup Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Muncy started against southpaw Tommy Henry on Monday, but will take a seat with lefty Jordan Montgomery on the bump for Arizona on Tuesday. Despite the Dodgers scoring eight runs against the Diamondbacks in Monday's win, the third baseman went hitless across five plate appearances. Enrique Hernandez will get the start at third and bat sixth Tuesday. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
