As expected, Los Angeles Angels first baseman Nolan Schanuel (back) has returned to the starting lineup on Tuesday at Comerica Park against the Detroit Tigers and left-hander Brant Hurter, and he is playing first base and batting third for the Halos. Schanuel was held out of the final two games of the series over the weekend against the Toronto Blue Jays due to a minor back injury. The 22-year-old second-year player will return to the lineup for the start of a series in Motown. The former 11th overall pick out of Florida Atlantic has gotten on base this year at a decent clip (.348), but otherwise has left a lot to be desired for fantasy managers. Schanuel has also hit just .228 (23-for-101) with only three of his 12 home runs on the year against left-handed pitchers, so we would recommend looking for better upside plays at the position in DFS on Tuesday.

Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is getting the day off on Tuesday against the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park. With Devers starting on the bench, Romy Gonzalez will play third base and hit seventh against Blue Jays rookie right-hander Yariel Rodriguez. It's a good time for Devers to receive a day off after going 8-for-35 (.229) with two homers, a double, five RBI and 10 strikeouts in his last nine games since Aug. 17. Before Tuesday, the 27-year-old had started in each of the team's previous 14 games. Devers is still one of the best hitters in the league, though, and is slashing .290/.369/.571 with a .940 OPS, 28 homers, 80 RBI and 81 runs in 452 at-bats. Hopefully, the day off will help him get back on track at the plate. Gonzalez makes plenty of contact but has provided only four homers, 22 RBI and seven RBI in 2024, making him a low-upside DFS sleeper.UPDATE: Devers is still dealing with soreness in his shoulders, and manager Alex Cora didn't rule out more than one day off. Devers has been battling shoulder issues for months.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II (hand) has returned to center field and is hitting sixth in the batting order on Tuesday versus the Minnesota Twins and rookie right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson at Target Field. Harris did not start the series opener on Monday after being hit in the hand by a pitch on Sunday against the Washington Nationals, but his injury was never believed to be serious, and he even came off the bench to pinch hit on Monday night. Infielder Whit Merrifield is serving as Atlanta's leadoff hitter on Tuesday after his five-hit performance on Monday, so Harris won't have as much DFS appeal against a right-hander. Since returning from a stint on the injured list on Aug. 14, Harris has just one multi-hit game and has gone 10-for-45 (.222) with two home runs, a double, eight RBI and 14 strikeouts in 12 games.

San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (thigh) continues to rehab in Arizona at the team's spring training complex and is now ready to face live pitching as he continues his progression, according to manager Mike Shildt. Details have been pretty scarce on Tatis since he landed on the injured list back in late June due to a stress reaction in his thigh, but he has begun baseball activities and could be cleared to go on a minor-league rehab assignment soon once he starts facing live pitching. Barring a setback, the 25-year-old superstar should be able to return to right field in San Diego at some point in September, but he's quickly running out of time to make an impact for his fantasy managers. Tatis is a must-start in all fantasy lineups when he's active, even though he might have to shake off some rust when he returns. He was hitting .279 (86-for-308) with 14 homers, 36 RBI and eight steals at the time of his injury.

St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the San Diego Padres. This looks to be a rare rest day for the veteran slugger. Arenado continues to be a productive offensive contributor, but his power numbers have taken a dip in 2024. The 33-year-old only has 14 home runs this season, but the good news is that he has six long balls in his last 34 games. It looks like Arenado is hitting his stride down the stretch of the season. Jose Fermin will cover third base and bat eighth against right-hander Dylan Cease. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for a streaming option with Fermin hitting less than .150 on the season.
