Vidal Brujan Exits With Shoulder Sprain

Miami Marlins infielder/outfielder Vidal Brujan (shoulder) exited with a right shoulder AC joint sprain in Tuesday's game against the hosting division-rival Philadelphia Phillies. Brujan injured his shoulder while making a spectacular diving catch in foul ground to end the third inning of Tuesday's series opener against Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park. He was clearly shaken up after getting to his feet, then being lifted for pinch-hitter Cristian Pache to begin the fourth inning. Although it's not saying much, the 26-year-old former top prospect is having his most successful season in the major leagues in 2024 by slashing .214/.302/.321 with two home runs, 13 RBI, 29 runs scored, and four stolen bases in 243 plate appearances (88 games) as a part-time utility man for the Marlins. Fantasy managers can deem him day-to-day prior to Tuesday's clash with the Phillies.

Triston Casas Goes Yard In Rehab Appearance

Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas (rib) was back in action for Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday following a team off-day on Monday, launching a two-run homer against left-hander Kolby Allard in his rehab game. While it appears likely that Casas will remain with Worcester for the remainder of the week, he will almost certainly be activated no later than next Tuesday, since his minor-league rehab assignment ends on Monday. The Red Sox are taking a very cautious approach with Casas, who has been out since late April with torn cartilage in left rib cage. Entering Tuesday's action, he had taken 30 at-bats in eight games in the minor leagues on his assignment. The 24-year-old slugging first baseman should provide high-end power numbers for Boston and fantasy managers when he returns, slashing .244/.344/.513 with six home runs, three doubles, and 10 RBI across 90 plate appearances this season.

Tommy Edman Slated For Seven Innings In Rehab Game

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop/outfielder Tommy Edman (wrist, ankle) took part in his first rehab game with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday and is slated to play seven innings on Tuesday, according to manager Dave Roberts. Barring any setbacks, Edman is on schedule to return from wrist surgery and a sprained ankle and make his season and Dodgers debut next Monday against the Seattle Mariners. Although it's unclear what kind of role he'll play right off the bat, Edman could eventually work his way into an everyday role in center field for the Dodgers down the stretch of the year. Even if he slots into the lower part of the batting order, the speedy 29-year-old switch-hitter will have legitimate fantasy upside as part of LA's vaunted lineup. Last year with the St. Louis Cardinals, Edman hit 25 doubles, scored 69 runs, and stole 27 bases in 137 games (479 at-bats). He makes a lot of sense as a stash across all formats.

Max Muncy Set To Play Seven Innings At Triple-A Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (oblique) played in his first rehab game with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, kicking off what will be about a week-long minor-league assignment. Muncy is scheduled to play seven innings on Tuesday, according to manager Dave Roberts. If all goes well during his rehab stint on his way back from a lengthy absence due to a strained right oblique, Muncy could be activated before the series opener against the Seattle Mariners next Monday. The 33-year-old three-true-outcomes slugger was slashing .223/.323/.475 with nine home runs, eight doubles, and 28 RBI over 167 plate appearances (40 games) for the Dodgers before going on the injured list in the middle of May. He should slot right back into the heart of LA's batting order upon his return and help fantasy managers with power stats the rest of the way.

J.D. Martinez Exits With Elbow Contusion

The New York Mets have announced that designated hitter J.D. Martinez (elbow) exited with a left elbow contusion in Tuesday night's series opener against the visiting Oakland Athletics at Citi Field. In Martinez's first at-bat of the game, Athletics right-hander Joe Boyle plunked him on the elbow with a 100-mph fastball. Mark Vientos (ankle), who had been day-to-day entering the day, replaced Martinez in the third inning. Martinez was able to stay in the contest to run the bases in the second inning, so his departure certainly feels like a precautionary measure. Consider him day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's tilt against Oakland. The 36-year-old veteran slugger has been slumping lately for the Mets, batting .212 (18-for-85) with two home runs, 15 RBI, and six runs scored in his last 24 games since July 12. Tyrone Taylor is a candidate to join New York's starting nine if Martinez ends up sitting out a day or two.
