The Oakland Athletics plan to activate closer Mason Miller (finger) from the 15-day injured list on Wednesday, according to manager Mark Kotsay.

New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos (ankle) is back at third base and is hitting fifth in Tuesday's series opener at Coors Field against the hosting Colorado Rockies and left-hander Kyle Freeland.

Connor Norby Quiet Since Joining Miami
Miami Marlins second base prospect Connor Norby has gone 1-for-10 at the plate with six punchouts since joining the Miami Marlins organization.

Tyler O'Neill Out Again On Tuesday
As expected, Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill (illness) remains out of the starting lineup for the fourth straight game on Tuesday against the hosting Kansas City Royals due to a stomach bug. Manager Alex Cora said on Monday that O'Neill probably won't be back in the starting lineup until Wednesday, so fantasy managers will […]
Yandy Diaz Back In Rays Lineup
Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Yandy Diaz (thumb), who left Sunday's game early against the Houston Astros with a bruised right thumb, is starting at first base and is batting leadoff on Tuesday against the hosting St. Louis Cardinals and right-hander Sonny Gray.

New York Mets starting pitching prospect Brandon Sproat is being promoted to Triple-A, according to SNY. Sproat made his professional debut this season after being selected in the second round of last year's draft. At High-A, the right-hander logged 25 innings with a stellar 1.07 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. Then, with Double-A Binghamton, Sproat held […]
Luis Rengifo To Undergo Wrist Surgery
Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo (wrist) is set to miss the rest of the regular season after undergoing wrist surgery on Tuesday. This is a shame considering Rengifo was in the middle of a breakout campaign. He was batting .300 with six home runs and a career-high 24 stolen bases in 78 games. However, […]
Joe Musgrove Likely To Return This Weekend
San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (elbow) has a good chance at returning to the mound this weekend. Manager Mike Shildt told reporters there's a high probability of Musgrove pitching against the Miami Marlins. The 31-year-old has been sidelined since late May due to a lingering elbow issue. This has basically been a lost […]

Seiya Suzuki Returning On Tuesday
Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki (neck) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Twins. Suzuki will make his way back into the lineup after he was forced to sit out of Monday's contest due to neck stiffness. It sounds like Suzuki is already over the issue, which is great […]
Byron Buxton Remains Out On Tuesday
Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (back) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Buxton was forced to exit early on Sunday and will now miss his second game in a row due to back tightness. This doesn't seem to be the kind of issue that would require a […]
Oneil Cruz Retreats To The Bench In Series Opener
Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Oneil Cruz will head to the bench on Tuesday for the series opener against the visiting San Diego Padres. With Cruz getting a day off, Isiah Kiner-Falefa will draw the start at the 6 in Pittsburgh and will bat fifth against Padres right-hander Dylan Cease. The 25-year-old Cruz will get a breather […]
Reynaldo Lopez Resumes Throwing
Atlanta Braves right-hander Reynaldo Lopez (forearm) resumed playing catch on Tuesday, a day after landing on the 15-day injured list with right-forearm tightness that caused him to leave his last start on July 28. The Braves were initially hoping that Lopez wouldn't need to go on the IL, so there's a chance he could be […]
Sean Murphy Out Against Brewers
Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy will get the day off on Tuesday against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers. Travis d'Arnaud will do the catching for right-hander Bryce Elder and will hit sixth in the batting order against Brewers right-hander Colin Rea.

Toronto Blue Jays infielder/outfielder Davis Schneider will retreat to the bench on Tuesday against the visiting division-rival Baltimore Orioles after starting each of the team's last four games.
