HOU Catcher #21

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Yainer Diaz hit a solo homer in a loss to the Mariners on Sunday.

Diaz gave the Astros their only run of the game with a solo shot to left off Logan Gilbert. It’s the first homer of the season for Diaz, and he’s reached 20 roundtrippers in two of his last three seasons.

Spencer Steer

CIN Left Fielder #7

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Spencer Steer is hitting second on Tuesday against the Nationals.

Steer finds himself in the prominent lineup spot for the second consecutive contest after spending Sunday’s series finale against the Astros there. The versatile 28-year-old is hitting .269 (14-for-52) with three homers, seven RBI and one steal over his last 15 games. The move towards the top of Cincinnati’s lineup boosts his fantasy appeal in deeper formats, if the move becomes permanent.

Samuel Basallo

BAL Catcher #29

Samuel Basallo (knee) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Yankees.

Basallo is back at DH and hitting fifth after being scratched from Monday’s lineup with left knee discomfort. The 21-year-old prodigy appears to be fine from a physical standpoint after being involved in a home-plate collision during Sunday’s contest against the Athletics. He’s been on fire at the plate recently, hitting .382 (21-for-55) with two homers and nine RBI over his last 15 games.

Ben Rice

NYY 1st Baseman #22
Ben Rice is in the lineup at DH for Tuesday’s contest against the Orioles.

Paul Goldschmidt is at first base and leading off against Orioles lefty Trevor Rogers. Rice continues to see frequent opportunities against southpaws after taking a seat routinely against them earlier this season. The 27-year-old rising star launched his 13th round-tripper of the season during Monday’s series opener and has been one of the top power-hitters in baseball this year.

Jazz Chisholm Jr.

NYY 2nd Baseman #13
Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Spencer Jones are on the bench Tuesday as the Yankees face Orioles left-hander Trevor Rogers.

The Yankees are choosing Ryan McMahon over the struggling Chisholm tonight, with Amed Rosario starting at second base, Trent Grisham and Ben Rice are in the lineup over Jones, who is on the bench for the first time in five games since his callup. Chisholm is 8-for-48 with one homer in his last 13 games. He’s also just 2-for-4 stealing bases during the stretch after going 9-for-10 previously.

Clayton Beeter

WSH Relief Pitcher #39
Clayton Beeter, out since Apr. 23 with forearm soreness, is ready to begin a rehab assignment.

Beeter is in line to return next week if all goes well. He’ll likely resume challenging Gus Varland for saves, so Varland could definitely use a good week after allowing three runs in the eighth inning and taking a loss Sunday against the Marlins.

Tatsuya Imai

HOU Relief Pitcher #45

Astros activated RHP Tatsuya Imai from the 15-day injured list.

Imai will face the Mariners tonight in his first start since walking four and giving up three runs in one-third of an inning against the same ballclub on Apr. 10. He walked eight and gave up six runs over five innings in his two rehab starts, so he’s not to be trusted in fantasy leagues at the moment.

Logan VanWey

HOU Relief Pitcher #64

Astros optioned RHP Logan VanWey to Triple-A Sugar Land.

VanWey, who was called up on Friday, pitched two scoreless innings with three strikeouts in his two appearances over the weekend.

José Caballero

NYY Shortstop #72
The Yankees are planning to place José Caballero on the injured list with a finger injury and recall Anthony Volpe.

Francys Romero was the first to report that Volpe was on the way back to the majors. Still no word yet on the severity of Calabllero’s injury. He was hurt Sunday, but the Yankees used him as a pinch-runner in Monday’s game.

Christian Yelich

MIL Left Fielder #22
Brewers activated OF Christian Yelich from the 10-day injured list.

Tyler Black was sent down to make room. Yelich is back from a groin strain suffered exactly one month ago. He’ll surely DH most of the time for the Brewers, which will typically leave just one lineup spot for Garrett Mitchell and Jake Bauers against right-handers. That’ll have the Brewers picking between defense and offense, with Mitchell in center and Jackson Chourio in left or Chourio in center and Bauers in left. Bauers probably ought to be dropped in leagues in which he was picked up.

Tyler Black

MIL 3rd Baseman #7

Brewers optioned INF/OF Tyler Black to Triple-A Nashville.

In spite of his success at the end of last month, Black wasn’t finding much playing time with Andrew Vaughn back, and now he also would have Christian Yelich to contend with. So, he’ll resume playing regularly in the minors after going 9-for-27 with four doubles and seven RBI during his 2 1/2 weeks in the majors.
