Guardians activate Josh Bell from paternity listGuardians activated 1B Josh Bell from the paternity leave list.
Advice: Bell will return to Cleveland's lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the Red Sox following a brief absence since last Friday on paternity leave. The switch-hitting is batting .225/.329/.348 with just four homers and 26 RBI across 219 plate appearances this season in his Guardians debut. Obviously, fantasy managers are hoping dad strength enables him to tap into some additional over-the-fence pop moving forward. NBCSportsEDGE.comJosh Bell CLE - 1B -

Takes third loss MondayMoll (0-3) took the loss against the Pirates on Monday, allowing an earned run on two hits over one inning. He struck out one.
Advice: Entrusted with preserving a 4-4 tie upon entering in the eighth, Moll wasn't quite up to the task, ultimately allowing an Andrew McCutchen sacrifice fly that would prove to be the difference in the game. The left-hander saw a five-appearance scoreless streak snapped with Monday's stumble, and although he does boast a career-high 10.0 K/9 at the moment and has yet to allow a home run through 21.2 innings, he's also carrying a career-worst 5.4 BB/9.

Logs 29th steal in lossRuiz went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a loss to the Pirates on Monday.
Advice: Ruiz helped the Athletics to their first run of the game with his speed, as he swiped second base after getting aboard via a catcher's interference call and eventually came around to score on Ryan Noda's single. The 24-year-old has hit safely in six of his last seven games, including four straight, pushing his season average and on-base percentage to .267 and .328, respectively. Rotowire.comEsteury Ruiz OAK - OF -
Productive in Monday's lossRooker went 2-for-3 with a walk and two runs in a loss to the Pirates on Monday.
Advice: Rooker reached safely for the third time over the last four games in the narrow loss while generating his first multi-hit effort since May 20. The 28-year-old carries an impressive .263/.368/.497 slash line across 212 plate appearances, giving him his most extensive taste of success at the big-league level yet and affording him regular playing time at the corner outfield spots and designated hitter. Rotowire.comBrent Rooker OAK - OF -
On base four times MondayNoda went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a double, two walks and a run in a loss to the Pirates on Monday.
Advice: The Athletics took their 50th loss of the season, but not much more could have been asked of Noda, who reached safely for the fifth straight game. The 27-year-old has a .403 on-base percentage for the season across 201 plate appearances and now carries an astronomical 19.4 percent walk rate, albeit alongside a 33.8 percent strikeout rate.

Next rehab outing coming WednesdayWhite (shoulder) is scheduled to make his next rehab appearance with Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.
Advice: White has resided on the Blue Jays' injured list all season while recovering from shoulder trouble and is now in the midst of his second rehab assignment. When he began the initial rehab assignment April 26, White appeared to be building up for a starting role, as he logged no fewer than 2.1 innings in any of his six outings before his 30-day rehab window closed May 27. He was able to restart the assignment last Thursday but has made 1.1-inning and one-inning appearances for Buffalo thus far, with his usage suggesting that the Blue Jays are now preparing for him to work out of the bullpen once he's activated. White has no minor-league options remaining, so the Blue Jays don't have the luxury of having him stay on a starter's schedule in the minors when he's brought back from the IL.
