Andrew Benintendi Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (Achilles) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with left-Achilles tendinitis. In a corresponding move, the White Sox promoted outfielder Oscar Colas to the major leagues from Triple-A Charlotte. Benintendi was removed from Saturday's game, and this injury does not seem too serious, suggesting that the 29-year-old could return to the lineup as soon as he's eligible. Colas is starting in right field on Sunday and should get plenty of opportunities until Benintendi is back. Colas should be faded in DFS on Sunday while facing Milwaukee Brewers ace Freddy Peralta.

Royce Lewis Expected To Return On Tuesday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Royce Lewis (quadriceps) is expected to be activated off the 10-day injured list and return to the starting lineup on Tuesday. Lewis has been sidelined since Opening Day with a quadriceps strain. The 24-year-old has been battling injuries all through the early part of his major-league career, as he has logged just 71 games over the past three seasons. However, despite all the setbacks the former No. 1 overall pick has endured, he has performed exceptionally well in the majors when healthy with an overall .313/.369/.564 slash line with 18 home runs, 58 RBI, and six stolen bases. When Lewis returns on Tuesday, he should split his time playing third base but also serving as the designated hitter, especially early on. Jose Miranda has done very well filling in for Lewis, but he could see a significant drop in starting opportunities.

Ben Joyce Promoted To The Major Leagues

Los Angeles Angels right-handed pitching prospect Ben Joyce was promoted to the major leagues in a corresponding move that sent left-hander Reid Detmers to Triple-A Salt Lake. Joyce held a 4.26 ERA and 1.16 WHIP across 19 innings at Double-A earlier this season. Joyce made his major-league debut last season and logged just 10 innings to the tune of a 5.40 ERA, 1.80 WHIP, and a 9:10 BB:K. However, the 23-year-old operated exclusively out of the bullpen last season. Joyce, the team's No. 4 prospect per MLB Pipeline, owns an explosive triple-digit fastball, but he's had trouble locating it so far in his professional career. He has the makings of a future closer if he can show better command.

Bobby Miller Sees Drop In Velocity In Latest Rehab Start

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Bobby Miller (shoulder) completed his second minor-league rehab outing on Saturday, June 1, with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga, where he logged 3 1/3 innings with five hits, one free pass, and four earned runs. Miller logged 65 total pitches but did see a drop in velocity. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has yet to show any concern about the drop in velocity, as it does not appear to be related to his shoulder inflammation. The 25-year-old is scheduled to start another rehab game on Friday, this time with Triple-A Oklahoma City, and he could rejoin the major-league rotation shortly after that. Miller has high-end fantasy upside with the Dodgers and should be stashed everywhere while he recovers.

Gerrit Cole Will Start Rehab Game On Tuesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole (elbow) is expected to make his first rehab start on Tuesday with Double-A Somerset. This is a big step for the Yankee ace, who has been on the 60-day injured list since March with right elbow inflammation. The 33-year-old performed very well when facing live hitters over the past week and will now embark on the final step in his recovery process. However, the reigning AL Cy Young winner should be expected to make several rehab starts before being activated, setting up a potential return date in late June or early July. Cole posted a stellar 2.63 ERA with a dominant 0.98 WHIP and 48:222 BB:K ratio last season and will immediately slot in as a top pitching option in all fantasy formats.
