Marte is slowly ramping up his workload in extended spring training as he continues to work his way back from a hamstring strain that sent him to the injured list earlier this month. There should be a clearer timetable for his potential return to Arizona’s lineup at some point later this week. He’ll likely require some at-bats in additional minor league contests at some point in the coming days before he’s ready to return.

DeJong isn’t expected to resume baseball activities until sometime in late May after undergoing surgery earlier this week to repair damage to his nose and eyes. The 31-year-old veteran infielder should make it back to Washington’s lineup at some point in June or July, barring any setbacks.

Wilson has hit a bit of a rough patch of late, batting .222 (6-for-27) with one homer and four RBI over his last seven games. The 23-year-old’s contact-oriented approach is going to lead to stellar batting averages, but it also caps his realistic fantasy ceiling since he’d likely have to alter his mindset in order to hit for some additional over-the-fence power. It’ll be Max Schuemann drawing a start at shortstop on Tuesday night. He’ll have the privilege of trying to hit Rangers ace Jacob deGrom.

Pillar has received the occasional opportunity to lead off against southpaws this season, but he’s played sparingly overall. He’ll take a seat on Tuesday night with superstar Wyatt Langford leading off against Athletics lefty Jacob Lopez.

Set your watch. We’re anticipating he’ll re-sign with the Braves in approximately five minutes. The 41-year-old journeyman went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment over the weekend. He made two relief appearances for Atlanta in his latest stint with the club.

Campero got into 14 games last year for the Angels, batting .239 (11-for-46) with one homer and three RBI during that span. He was hitting .333 (36-for-108) with one homer and seven steals in 26 games this season at the Triple-A level. The 27-year-old outfielder figures to occupy a bench role and can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Davis has been jettisoned from the Angels’ roster after batting .111 (1-for-9) in five games. The 32-year-old veteran figures to clear waivers and elect free agency in search of a new opportunity.

Edwards went unclaimed on waivers after being removed last weekend from Los Angeles’ 40-man roster. The 33-year-old journeyman figures to elect free agency, but might wind up sticking around to see if he gets another shot with the Angels.

Tellez returns to first base and will bat sixth on Tuesday night following a brief one-game absence recovering from a left hand contusion. The 30-year-old slugger’s hot spring training hasn’t carried over into the regular season as he’s hitting just .170 with four homers and 12 RBI in 21 games.

Williamson is back at third base and batting eighth following a one-game absence for precautionary reasons due to a back spasm. The 24-year-old rookie has been outstanding so far, hitting .310 (13-for-42) with one homer and seven RBI through 11 games.
