Daulton Varsho Still Out Against Red Sox

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho (back) remains out of the team's starting lineup on Tuesday at Fenway Park against the hosting Boston Red Sox. Veteran Kevin Kiermaier will make another start in center field and will bat ninth for the Blue Jays against Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello. Kiermaier has very little DFS appeal out of the nine-hole, but he is hitting .286 with two RBI in seven career at-bats against Bello. Varsho injured his back on Saturday and will be missing his third straight game on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day until further notice. The 27-year-old outfielder is hitting only .207 (50-for-242) in 2024 but has appealing power/speed upside for fantasy managers with 11 home runs and eight stolen bases in 72 games.

Bo Bichette Activated And Starting On Tuesday

The Toronto Blue Jays activated shortstop Bo Bichette (calf) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday and optioned outfielder Steward Berroa to Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. It ended up being a minimal stay on the injured list for Bichette, who was dealing with a minor calf injury. The 26-year-old All-Star is back at shortstop and is batting leadoff for the team on Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox and right-hander Brayan Bello at Fenway Park. Despite the fact that Bichette hasn't looked like himself this year, fantasy managers in single-year leagues will want to insert him into their starting lineups. He's hit .417 with a 1.000 OPS and an RBI in 12 career at-bats versus Bello. In 52 plate appearances in June before his injury, Bichette had gone 10-for-49 (.204) with four doubles and three RBI in 13 games.

Bryan Woo Goes Back On Injured List

Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo (hamstring) is heading back to the 15-day injured list on Tuesday with what he called a low-grade hamstring strain. Woo suffered the hamstring strain in his start on Monday night in Tampa against the Rays and will now miss at least several weeks. Although Woo's injury doesn't sound serious, given the timing of the injury, he may be fighting an uphill battle to return to Seattle's starting rotation before the All-Star break in mid-July. In a corresponding move, the M's called up pitcher Collin Snider from Triple-A Tacoma. Woo has pitched great in 2024 but has had terrible injury luck. Emerson Hancock would be the logical replacement for Woo in Seattle, but he's currently dealing with lower-back tightness at Tacoma. Woo deserves to be stashed where he's rostered after going 3-1 so far this year with a 1.77 ERA and 0.69 WHIP in eight starts.

Elehuris Montero Not In Lineup Against Astros

Colorado Rockies infielder Elehuris Montero is out of the team's starting lineup as they take on the hosting Houston Astros on Tuesday. It will be the fourth straight game that Montero has found himself on the bench as he continues to lose playing time in Colorado. He's losing precious playing time to Michael Toglia, who is starting at first base on Tuesday and batting seventh against Astros right-hander Hunter Brown. The 25-year-old Dominican right-handed slugger doesn't belong on rosters in mixed fantasy leagues at this point, as he's also slashing just .209/.272/.309 with a weak .581 OPS, four home runs, 10 doubles, 28 RBI, 23 runs scored, 20 walks and 53 strikeouts in 243 trips to the plate over 65 games in his third year in the majors. Montero has been worse in June, going 10-for-57 (.175) with a homer, three doubles, seven RBI and 18 K's in 17 games played.

Nolan Arenado Returns To Cardinals Lineup

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado (forearm) is back at third base and is batting sixth in the order on Tuesday against the visiting Atlanta Braves and right-hander Reynaldo Lopez. Arenado has been beat up of late and missed the team's last two games due to left-forearm soreness. He also missed a game last week after being hit by a pitch in the elbow. The 33-year-old All-Star is back in there, though, albeit a little further down the batting order as he tries to turn his season around at the plate. Arenado has tailed off in the batting average department the last two years and is currently slashing only .257/.315/.371 with six home runs, 32 RBI and 26 runs scored in 71 games played. Fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting a return to the 30-homer mark in 2024 unless he goes on an absolutely crazy run at some point. He has never faced Lopez in his career.
