Freddie Freeman (hand) X-rays return negative

Basallo’s return comes at a fortuitous time for fantasy managers with Baltimore kicking off a three-game series at high-octane Coors Field. He’s back in the lineup after missing Sunday’s game with a hand contusion. The 22-year-old backstop’s presence at DH pushes Christian Encarnacion-Strand to the bench with Blaze Alexander getting the nod at third base. Things are only going to get more crowded with Luis Robert Jr. coming over from the Mets off waivers in the next few days.

No word yet on the reason for the change. Abrams was originally slated to play shortstop in this one. It’ll be Nasim Nuñez taking over at the spot. There should be an update on his status soon.

The Tigers are going to give Greene a day off to rest and recover after playing in a pair of minor league rehab contests for Triple-A Toledo over the weekend. He’s been on the shelf with a hamstring strain since early August. He’ll return to the heart of Detroit’s lineup once rosters expand this week.

Peck receives his first shot in the majors after hitting .288/.339/.502 with 11 homers and 22 steals in 298 plate appearances in the upper minors this season. Tigers skipper A.J. Hinch told reporters Peck will get some time at shortstop with Kevin McGonigle moving over to third base more often in the coming weeks. It appears that Gleyber Torres and Javier Báez could lose playing time down the home stretch with Detroit fading from playoff contention. Peck is unlikely to offer much fantasy appeal outside of extremely deep mixed leagues and AL-only formats.

Díaz returns to Detroit’s middle relief mix after allowing seven runs over 1 2/3 innings across a pair of relief appearances earlier this month. The 26-year-old former starter can be ignored in all fantasy formats.

Julks went 2-for-7 during four games with the Tigers while Riley Greene (hamstring) was on the injured list. There’s a chance he’s back as a bench option later in September.

The Tigers are moving on from Rainey after he allowed just three runs with a 6/8 K/BB ratio across seven innings of work. The well-traveled 33-year-old former high-leverage reliever has made 217 appearances in the big leagues dating back to 2018.

López got up to five innings during his latest minor league rehab start for Triple-A Gwinnett last Friday. Braves manager Walt Weiss told reporters they want to keep him stretched out as a starter heading into the home stretch. He hasn’t pitched in the majors since late July due to left knee inflammation.

Justin Hagenman (rib) will will be activated to start Wednesday’s series finale against the Rays, which enables the Mets to push Scott back to Friday’s series opener against the reeling Giants. It’s a nice bonus for fantasy managers since he’ll get to face one of the weakest lineups in baseball at Citi Field.

Rengifo is facing a lengthy absence after an MRI revealed a complete ACL tear in addition to an MCL sprain. The 29-year-old infielder suffered the injury over the weekend while making a throw from the outfield. It’s unfortunate timing since he was emerging as an impactful midseason addition for San Diego. He’ll undergo surgery at some point in the near future and is facing a roughly 9-12 month recovery timeline.
