Houston Astros starting pitcher Framber Valdez (illness) might not be available for his next turn in the rotation, which is on Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners. Astros manager Joe Espada said the team is listing their starters for Tuesday and Wednesday as TBA for now. General manager Dana Brown said Valdez is dealing with some fatigue and a sore throat. It sounds like the Astros are going to wait and see how Valdez feels in a day or two before making a final decision on his status. Hunter Brown is scheduled to take the mound on Wednesday, but he could see his start pushed back depending on what happens with Valdez. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update in a day or so.

Chicago White Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi (groin) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers. Benintendi appeared to hindered by something after scoring in the first inning. He took his next at-bat, but was later taken out for a pinch-hitter in the fifth inning. Shortly after that, the White Sox announced that Benintendi is dealing with an adductor issue. For now, Benintendi is considered day-to-day, but sometimes these types of issues have a tendency to linger. The White Sox are off on Monday, so we'll see if Benintendi is feeling better in time for Tuesday's game.

New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson (undisclosed) was removed from Sunday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays with a potential injury. The southpaw threw four scoreless innings allowing only two hits. However, Peterson appeared to tweak his back in the fifth inning and that's where it unraveled for him. He walked two batters and hit another batter before Mets manager Carlos Mendoza removed him from the contest. If he's fine, Peterson would be in line to start against the Athletics next week. Fantasy managers should keep an eye out for an update following Sunday's game.

Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis (hamstring) has been hitting and doing some light running, according to the team's president of baseball operations Derek Falvey. He noted that there is no change in his status, so Lewis appears to still be on the same timetable as before. Lewis was given a 6-to-8 week timetable and is currently in his third week of recovery from a left hamstring strain. The Twins are going to continue being cautious with their young slugger. Fantasy managers who continue to stash Lewis might end up having to wait the full length of the recovery timetable. Willi Castro figures to continue seeing increased playing time over at third base while Lewis is out.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Martin Perez is looking like a nice addition to this pitching staff early in the season. Perez took a no-hitter into the seventh inning during his first start with his new team. On Sunday, Perez went 6 1/3 innings, allowing four hits, one earned run, and struck out four batters in the no-decision. Perez was in line for the win until the White Sox blew the lead in the ninth inning. Fantasy managers in need of pitching help should look towards Perez. However, he'll get a tough start against the Boston Red Sox in his next start.
