  • Exits rehab game early
    LeMahieu (foot) was forced to exit his rehab start with Double-A Somerset in the second inning, Randy Miller of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Advice: LeMahieu left the contest after striking out in the top of first frame and playing third base in the bottom of the inning. He was making his first start with Somerset and was expected to appear in three more contests before returning to the major-league roster. The 35-year-old is now set to undergo examinations on his foot in New York on Wednesday according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. More information on his status will be provided following the testing, but it certainly appears as if LeMahieu suffered a setback in his recovery of a bone bruise and fracture in his right foot.

  • Royce Lewis (quad) to be re-evaluated this week
    Twins general manager Derek Faley told reporters Royce Lewis (quad) will be re-evaluated later this week.

    Advice: Lewis resumed baseball activities last week as he continues his recovery from a severe right quad strain that he suffered back on Opening Day. There should be a clearer timetable for his return following his latest evaluation. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:12 pm
  • Moving closer to return
    Stefanic (quadriceps) has been taking ground balls and batting practice, and he is scheduled to resume running progression Tuesday, per MLB.com.

    Advice: Stefanic landed on the injured list March 28 after straining his left quad in his first Cactus League contest in late February. The 28-year-old's progress toward a return was slowed by a setback mid-March, but he appears to be back on the road to recovery. Stefanic could feasibly be ready to resume game action by the end of April, though he will likely need a minor-league rehab assignment given that he logged only one plate appearance in spring training.

  • Not in Tuesday's lineup
    Toro is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Toro started the previous 14 games but will take a seat after he posted a .686 OPS during that stretch. Tyler Nevin will man the hot corner while Esteury Ruiz bats leadoff for the A's. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:48 pm
  • Not starting Tuesday
    Biggio isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup for Tuesday's game against Kansas City.

    Advice: Biggio will get a day to rest Tuesday after going 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored during Monday's victory. His absence will allow Davis Schneider to start at the keystone while batting sixth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:15 pm

  • Andy Ibáñez (hamstring) starting rehab assignment
    Andy Ibáñez (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Wednesday with Triple-A Toledo.

    Advice: Ibáñez hit the injured list earlier this month with a left hamstring strain and figures to rejoin Detroit’s infield mix before the end of April, barring any setbacks. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:32 pm

  • Having wrist checked out Friday
    Jung will have his fractured right wrist examined Friday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

    Advice: Progress on Jung's healing will be evaluated, and the hope is that he will get a better idea during the exam as to what a potential timeline for a return could look like. Jung had surgery on the wrist in early April, and the rough timetable provided at the time was 8-to-10 weeks. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:23 pm
  • Straight-line running Tuesday
    Urshela (hamstring) did some straight-line running drills Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Advice: It's a good sign that he's already doing some running just a few days after landing on the injured list with a right hamstring strain. Urshela will eventually progress to running the bases and could need a short rehab assignment before rejoining the Tigers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:18 am

  • Records third steal
    Chapman went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 5-2 win over the Mets.

    Advice: Chapman is up to three steals this year, two of which have come over the last three contests. The third baseman has gone 8-for-24 (.333) with four RBI and six extra-base hits over his last seven contests. He's slashing .226/.280/.430 with four home runs, 14 RBI, 13 runs scored and seven doubles through 100 plate appearances, but his recent performances suggest he's trending in the right direction.
