Cincinnati Reds corner infielder Jeimer Candelario (shin) is back at third base and is hitting eighth in the batting order on Tuesday against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Zac Gallen. Candelario was scratched from Sunday's lineup with a left-shin contusion but is good to go now after Monday's scheduled off day. The 30-year-old will now look to get going at the plate after starting his first year in Cincinnati slow. However, he has gone 6-for-18 with a home run in his last five contests, so perhaps he's already starting to heat up. The switch-hitter is currently slashing .190/.274/.360 with three homers and 10 RBI in his first 100 at-bats in 2024. It's a tough matchup in his return from injury, and he's gone hitless in three career at-bats against Gallen.

Oakland Athletics right-hander Osvaldo Bido will make the start for the A's in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Texas Rangers. If Bido pitches well against the division rivals, there's a chance he could stick around in the big leagues for another turn through the starting rotation with Joe Boyle (back) going on the 15-day injured list on Monday. The 28-year-old has earned the promotion to the big leagues after posting a 2.59 ERA, 13 walks and 39 strikeouts in 31 1/3 innings for Triple-A Las Vegas this year. The Dominican hurler made his big-league debut in 2023 with the Pirates and went 2-5 with a 5.86 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with 21 walks and 48 strikeouts in 16 outings (nine starts). Bido will be a streamer on Wednesday only for those in very deep fantasy leagues.

Oakland Athletics corner infielder/outfielder Tyler Nevin and catcher Shea Langeliers are both starting on the bench on Tuesday against the visiting Texas Rangers. Nevin will head to the bench after going hitless in his last 14 at-bats. Despite his recent slump, the 26-year-old is still slashing a solid .277/.349/.426 on the year with four home runs, 10 RBI, a steal and 11 runs scored in 94 at-bats for the A's. Langeliers will get the day off in a day game after a night game. He's hitting just .179 (19-for-106) on the year but has shown nice power with seven homers and 16 RBI in the early going. Brett Harris is starting at third base and batting ninth, while Kyle McCann is doing the catching and hitting sixth for the A's on Tuesday against Rangers right-hander Jose Urena.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (groin) is playing catch after rejoining the team on Monday after meeting with doctors in New York. Eovaldi was placed on the 15-day injured list on May 3 with a strained right groin. The hope is Eovaldi won't need a minor-league rehab assignment and can return to the rotation on May 18 once he is eligible to come off the IL. Eovaldi is 2-2 with a 2.61 ERA this season in five starts and he's given up just 10 runs and has 33 strikeouts. The right-hander has been a great fantasy option this season, as he's gone at least 5 1/3 innings in every outing and has allowed three or fewer runs in four of his starts. With Eovaldi on the IL, Jose Urena and Jack Leiter will be starting for the Rangers.

Outfielder Estevan Florial is batting leadoff for the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday. Florial batted leadoff for Cleveland on Monday and went 1-for-3 in the Guardians win. The left fielder is slashing .206/.286/.429 with three home runs and nine RBI. Florial will set up the middle of the Guardians order of Andres Gimenez, Jose Ramirez, and Josh Naylor, who helped Cleveland beat Detroit on Monday. Florial will continue to get run in left field and in the leadoff spot with outfielder Steven Kwan (hamstring) out due to an injury, so he is a viable fantasy option for the next four weeks while Kwan is on the injured list.
