  • Starts rehab stint
    The Phillies assigned Ortiz (ankle) to Single-A Clearwater on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

    Advice: Ortiz suffered an ankle sprain in his season debut March 30 but is now ready for game action. The right-hander could make a few appearances in the minors before being cleared to join the Phillies. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Heston Kjerstad batting eighth in season debut
    Heston Kjerstad is in right field and batting eighth on Tuesday in his season debut against the Angels.

    Advice: It’s an extremely encouraging sign that the Orioles are throwing Kjerstad right into the fire following his early-season promotion instead of having him languish on the bench. The 25-year-old slugger tore the cover off the ball this season for Triple-A Norfolk, posting an astronomical 1.176 OPS with 10 homers, 30 RBI and one steal in 21 games. He projects as a potential four-category impact fantasy contributor, if he’s given an everyday opportunity in Baltimore’s loaded lineup. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago
     
  • Activated, optioned to Triple-A
    The Mets reinstated Kranick (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Kranick has been on the injured list since the start of the season due to a Grade 2 left hamstring strain he suffered during spring training. He made four total rehab appearances between the Mets' Single-A and Double-A affiliates, allowing five earned runs across 7.2 innings, and he'll now move up to Triple-A as he comes off the IL. The 26-year-old right-hander owns a 5.56 ERA across 43.2 big-league innings and hasn't pitched in the majors since 2022. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Ryan Mountcastle (knee) not in Tuesday’s lineup
    Ryan Mountcastle (knee) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Angels.

    Advice: Mountcastle will sit out his second straight contest due to knee soreness with Ryan O’Hearn handling the cold corner out in Los Angeles. It sounds like his ongoing absence is merely out of an abundance of caution. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago
     
  • Justin Topa (knee) set to begin rehab assignment
    Justin Topa (knee) will kick off a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday with Triple-A St. Paul.

    Advice: Topa faced hitters on Tuesday in a live batting practice session and will progress to a minor league rehab assignment later this week. The 33-year-old righty has been out since the start of the season dealing with left knee tendinitis. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago

  • Taijuan Walker to make season debut on Sunday
    Taijuan Walker (shoulder) will make his season debut on Sunday against the Padres.

    Advice: It’s seems like it’ll wind up being Spencer Turnbull heading back to the bullpen with Walker set to return from a nearly one-month stint on the injured list due to right shoulder soreness. The 31-year-old righty doesn’t quite offer enough strikeout upside to merit consideration for fantasy purposes outside of extremely deep mixed leagues at this point. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago
     
  • Remains out Tuesday
    Mountcastle (knee) isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Knee soreness kept Mountcastle from playing in Monday's contest, though manager Brandon Hyde said the 27-year-old was available off the bench for that game. He will remain in the dugout once again Tuesday, allowing Ryan O'Hearn to start at first base while Anthony Santander serves as Baltimore's DH and Heston Kjerstad covers right field.

  • Back in action Tuesday
    Happ (hamstring) is starting in left field and batting second Tuesday against the Astros, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: The 29-year-old sat out Saturday and Sunday with hamstring soreness after exiting Friday's contest, but he's ready to retake the field following Monday's team off day. Happ has been in a slump over his past nine games, going 4-for-35 after he posted a .933 OPS in his first 40 at-bats of the campaign. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
