Rotoworld

Thairo Estrada

SF Shortstop #39

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Thairo Estrada went 1-for-3 in his first rehab game with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.

Estrada, out since July 26 with a sprained wrist, has been a liability this year, so the Giants will probably want to get him a significant number of at-bats in Triple-A before bringing him back from the injured list. Once he does return, it’s possible he could push Marco Luciano off the roster.

Dane Myers

CIN Center Fielder #17

Dane Myers (illness) is in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Royals.

Myers returns following a three-game absence due to illness. The 30-year-old is in center field and hitting leadoff against Kansas City lefty Noah Cameron. It’s his first game action since last Friday.

Chandler Simpson

TB Left Fielder #14

Chandler Simpson (lip) is in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Tigers.

Simpson was hospitalized to receive stitches after cutting his lip open on a head-first slide into second base where his helmet came off and struck him in the mouth during Monday’s series opener. The 25-year-old is feeling well enough to get back in the lineup without missing any additional time. It’s a positive development for the Rays and fantasy managers after a scary few moments following the incident.

Taylor Walls

TB Shortstop #6
Taylor Walls (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Tigers.

No surprise here after Walls made an early exit from Monday’s series opener with left hamstring tightness. The 29-year-old shortstop has been battling hamstring issues for over a week at this juncture. Ben Williamson takes over at shortstop in his absence.

Hunter Brown

HOU Starting Pitcher #58

Hunter Brown (elbow) threw a bullpen on Tuesday and will start for Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday.

Brown was up to 44 pitches in his last rehab start and will probably try to push near 60 pitches in this one. If all goes well, we’d assume he makes one more rehab start before re-joining Houston’s rotation in about two weeks.

Braden Shewmake

HOU Shortstop #28
Astros placed INF Braden Shewmake on the 10-day injured list with a right adductor strain

Shewmake was removed from Saturday’s game with groin tightness and will now find his way to the injured list. There is no timeline for his return, but it will give Brice Matthews a chance to take the starting second base job with Jose Altuve (oblique) also out. Matthews is starting at second base and batting eighth on Tuesday.

Zach Cole

HOU Left Fielder #16

Astros recalled OF Zach Cole from Triple-A Sugar Land.

Cole hit .157 (8-for-51) with three homers and eight RBI in 53 plate appearances over 18 games in his latest stint with the Astros. He’ll likely just be up as a reserve outfielder this time.

Josh Hader

HOU Relief Pitcher #71

Astros activated LHP Josh Hader (biceps) from the 60-day injured list.

Hader has been out all season with shoulder and biceps issues, but he will return to Houston’s bullpen on Tuesday. The velocity readings on his last rehab appearances were not great, but that didn’t seem to bother the Astros. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable putting Hader back into their lineups, but maybe wait for a couple of appearances before dropping the other relievers in Houston’s bullpen.

Carlos Lagrange

NYY Starting Pitcher

YES Network’s Jack Curry reports that the Yankees are moving RHP prospect Carlos Lagrange to the bullpen at Triple-A.

There is no indication that this is a permanent move, but the Yankees believe that Lagrange’s triple-digit fastball could help their big league team as a reliever this season. The 23-year-old prospect has an 11.5 percent walk rate at Triple-A this season, so there’s a good chance that the bullpen could be his long-term home anyway, but we know it will be where he starts his MLB career, sometime over the summer. The shift to the bullpen does sap all of his fantasy value in redraft leagues.

Maikel Garcia

KC 3rd Baseman #11
Maikel Garcia (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Reds.

This is now the third straight game that Garcia has missed. While it’s an encouraging sign that the Royals haven’t put him on the injured list, it’s worth remembering that he felt a pop when he was first hurt and the club hasn’t commented on the results of an MRI over the weekend. There’s optimism he’ll will return to the lineup on Wednesday, but it’s hard to say for sure. Nick Loftin will start at third base and bat sixth in his place on Tuesday night.

Aaron Judge

NYY Right Fielder #99
Aaron Judge is not in the Yankees’ lineup on Tuesday against the Guardians.

It’s a bit curious because the Yankees were off on Monday, but there’s no indication that the 34-year-old is dealing with any injury. The Yankees are likely just looking to give him a bit of an extra breather. Jose Caballero will start in right field and bat eighth on Tuesday with Amed Rosario off the paternity list and batting cleanup while playing third base.
