Mookie Betts is hitting cleanup on Tuesday against the Rockies.

It qualifies as a bit of a shakeup as Dodgers manager Dave Roberts will give Andy Pages an opportunity to hit behind Shohei Ohtani with Betts moving back a couple spots in the order. The 33-year-old veteran has been scuffling for a couple weeks, hitting .157 (8-for-51) with two homers and three RBI since returning from the injured list back on May 11.

Cody Bellinger (hamstring) could return to the lineup for the Yankees by Sunday.

Bellinger will play Thursday for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. If that game — and likely at least one more contest — goes well, the 31-year-old could be back for the series finale Sunday against the Blue Jays. Even Bellinger needs a day or two more in the minors, it’s a positive development for the Yankees and fantasy managers.

Chris Cotillo of MassLive reports that the Phillies are currently discussing a potential deal with Nestor Cortes (biceps).

Cortes has been out for all of 2026 while recovering from surgery on his left arm. There’s no guarantee that the 31-year-old will be able to pitch in 2026, but he could be a potential multi-inning option for the final month — and potentially the postseason — for Philadelphia.

Mets recalled INF Eric Wagaman from Triple-A Syracuse.

Wagaman is up with Jorge Polanco (ankle) once again being placed on the injured list due to his ankle issue. Wagaman will likely see some time over the final month-plus, but it’s hard to see much fantasy significance in his profile.

Mets optioned RHP Jack Weisenburger to Triple-A Syracuse.

Weisenburger threw 1 1/3 innings during Tuesday’s game against the Mets, so New York will bring up a fresh arm for the bullpen. Weisenburger seems to be a likely candidate for promotion when rosters expand.

Jorge Polanco

Mets placed INF Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list with left ankle bursitis.

Lower body issues have plagued Polanco throughout the season — and really, for much of his career — and the 33-year-old will once again hit the shelf due to the ankle troubles. The 33-year-old could return at some point near September, but this is a lost first season for Polanco with the Metropolitans.

Sean Newcomb will get the start in Wednesday’s game against the Cubs.

Newcombe has a starting background and has worked multiple innings several times in 2026, but he will give way to Jose Urquidy as the bulk reliever after throwing just an inning or two against the Pale Hose.

Matt Wilkinson will start Wednesday’s game against the Guardians.

Wilkinson will get the nod for his MLB debut. The man they call “Tugboat” has a 5.15 ERA and 43/17 ERA in his 43 2/3 innings for Triple-A Sacramento. Wilkson has a chance to be a decent option in the coming years, but it’d be risky to trust him as a streamer Wednesday.

Lourdes Gurriel (adductor) went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in a rehab game with Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

It was his first rehab game since being placed on the injured list nearly a month ago with an adductor strain. The outfielder didn’t have any success, but the important thing for the 32-year-old was that he was able to get back on the field. He should e an option for the D-backs before the end of the month, if there are no setbacks, of course.
