    Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (back) is in the lineup for Wednesday’s showdown against the Mets.

    Guerrero missed Tuesday’s game with back tightness, but it was never expected to be a serious issue. Perhaps another day or two off could have helped the slumping first baseman with a mental reset, but he’s back in Toronto’s lineup already. It’s hard to keep him out of fantasy lineups outside of shallow leagues where multiple difference-makers can be found on the waiver wire. Sean Keys will start at DH and bat eighth with George Springer on the paternity list.

    Braves placed OF Eli White on the paternity list.

    White will be away from the club for a couple days on paternity leave. The 32-year-old has been a strong fit with Atlanta as a reserve outfielder the last few years. He’s delivered a respectable .227 (25-for-110) average with four homers and four steals in 119 plate appearances over 53 games this season.

    Braves designated C Jair Camargo for assignment.

    Camargo went 1-for-2 during his lone game for Atlanta back on June 17. The 27-year-old backstop is a strong bet to pass through waivers unclaimed and remain with the Braves as emergency catching depth behind emerging star Drake Baldwin.

    Munetaka Murakami (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Charlotte.

    Murakami will kick off a rehab stint with Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday with the goal of returning to Chicago prior to next week’s All-Star break. The 26-year-old rookie slugger should only require a handful of minor-league tune-up contests to get back up to speed. He’s been out with a hamstring strain since late May. Fantasy managers should plan to have Murakami back in the mix by the end of the week and he should be a full-go coming out of the Midsummer Classic.

    Kyle Schwarber was ejected from Monday’s showdown against the Royals for arguing balls and strikes.

    Schwarber earned the automatic ejection from Monday’s frustrating one-sided affair following a sixth-inning strikeout. He finished 0-for-3 with three punchouts and also drew a walk. The 33-year-old slugger leads the majors with 30 first-half round-trippers and is one of five Phillies headed to next week’s All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park.

    Edwin Uceta (shoulder) is headed for further evaluation and remains shut down from throwing.

    Uceta has been on the injured list with lingering shoulder issues since spring training and his odds of making it back this season are fading quickly. The fact that he keeps suffering setbacks means that season-ending surgery is probably a realistic outcome. The track record for pitchers coming off major shoulder procedures isn’t exactly sunshine and rainbows either. In the meantime, unheralded Bryan Baker has excelled as Tampa Bay’s closer and was named to his first All-Star Game earlier this week. There should be a clearer idea of his next steps at some point in the coming weeks.

    Cardinals recalled RHP Gordon Graceffo from Triple-A Memphis.

    Graceffo returns to the big leagues with rookie reliever Max Rajcic hitting the shelf with an elbow injury. The 26-year-old has delivered a respectable 3.35 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 18/19 K/BB ratio across 40 1/3 innings across 35 appearances at the highest level this season. He’ll continue operating in low-leverage spots for the Cardinals.

    Cardinals placed Max Rajcic on the 15-day injured list with right elbow soreness.

    Rajcic will undergo further evaluation and imaging to determine the severity of the elbow issue. The 24-year-old rookie has posted a 5.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 8/6 K/BB ratio across nine innings since being promoted to the majors back on June 18.

    A.J. Ewing is in the leadoff spot for Monday’s contest against the Braves.

    Ewing homered off Atlanta lefty Martín Pérez on Sunday and moves up to the leadoff spot for the second time in the last three games. The 21-year-old rookie has put together a solid stretch in recent weeks, hitting .293 (29-for-99) with four homers, 14 RBI and four steals over his last 30 games. He’s going to be more impactful as a stolen base source than any other fantasy category, but he does offer some over-the-fence pop, which gives him more appeal than the typical speed-oriented waiver wire options out there.

    Jazz Chisholm Jr. (toe) is in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the division-rival Rays.

    Chisholm is back at second base and hitting sixth after exiting Sunday’s series finale against the Twins with right big toe discomfort. The 28-year-old power/speed combo threat has been dealing with the lingering toe issue since undergoing surgery during his time with the Marlins back in 2023. It’s an encouraging sign that he’s feeling well enough to get back into New York’s lineup without missing any additional time.

    Jacob Young (hand) is back in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Astros.

    Young returns to center field following a brief two-game absence due to left hand soreness. It doesn’t appear to be a significant concern moving forward. The 26-year-old outfielder has delivered a career-high eight homers along with eight thefts in 277 plate appearances through 83 games this season.
