Milwaukee Brewers pitching prospect Logan Henderson is expected to be recalledfrom Triple-A Nashville to be the starter for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Guardians. The former fourth-round draft pick has pitched well in the minors this season, and after giving up five earned runs in his first start this season, the righty has posted a 1.04 ERA, 0.77 WHIP, and a fantastic 25.2 percent K-BB% in the five appearances since (26 IP). The 23-year-old also alreadymade one start for the Brewers earlier this season, and it was an impressive one, yielding just one earned run on three hits and a walk while striking out nine batters over six innings of work againstthe Athletics. This makes him an intriguing DFS option, and he could be a speculative add in deeper season-long leagues in hopes he can stick in the rotation this time around.


The Tampa Bay Rays placed infielder Yandy Diaz on the restricted list on Tuesday and recalled infielder Coco Montes from Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move, according to the Tampa Bay Times' Marc Topkin. With Diaz out on Tuesday against the division-rival Blue Jays in Toronto, second baseman Brandon Lowe is serving as the designated hitter and Jose Caballero is playing second base. It's unclear why the 33-year-old Diaz is on the restricted list or how long he'll remain there, which is certainly concerning for his fantasy managers. Check back soon, as we should have an update on why he was put on the restricted list. Diaz has gone just 7-for-38 (.184) with three homers and seven RBI in 10 games in the month of May to drop his season slash line to .238/.291/.400 with a below-average .691 OPS on the year.UPDATE: A delay in having his passport being renewed is the reason why Diaz was unable to make the trip to Toronto.


Houston Astros manager Joe Espada said that designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (hand) will not come off the 10-day injured list to rejoin the starting lineup on Tuesday night against the visiting Kansas City Royals. However, Alvarez is trending in the right direction and is expected to rejoin the club soon, possible for Thursday's series opener in Texas against the division-rival Rangers. The 27-year-old landed on the IL with a muscle strain in his right hand that could be the primary culprit for the three-time All-Star's slow start in 2025. Jose Altuve is serving as the DH on Tuesday, while Chas McCormick is making the start in left field and batting ninth against Royals left-hander Kris Bubic. Fantasy managers hope Alvarez can turn things around when he's back after starting with a .210/.306/.340 slash line and a .646 OPS in his first 100 at-bats.


The Washington Nationals placed second baseman Luis Garcia Jr. on the paternity list on Tuesday and recalled infielder Trey Lipscomb from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move, according to The Washington Post's Andrew Golden. Garcia is welcoming a new addition into his family this week and is expected to miss the entire series against the division-rival Atlanta Braves before rejoining the club on Friday before their series opener against the Baltimore Orioles. After a breakout in 2024, the 24-year-old has mostly disappointed in his first 38 games in 2025, going 30-for-133 (.226) with three home runs, six doubles, 13 RBI, six steals and 18 runs scored as the Nats' primary second baseman. While he's out for a few games, expect Washington to use veteran Amed Rosario as the fill-in at the keystone. Rosario makes plenty of contact and is hitting .282 (20-for-71), but he doesn't offer much else in fantasy.


Toronto Blue Jays outfielder/designated hitter Anthony Santander (shoulder) is serving as the DH and is hitting third for Toronto on Tuesday against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Shane Baz at Rogers Centre. Santander miss the three-game sweep over the Seattle Mariners over the weekend with a shoulder injury that he suffered last Thursday. The 30-year-old veteran switch-hitter is back in action on Tuesday, though, and will be looking to get his season average up over .200. Fantasy managers probably aren't in a rush to get him back into their starting lineups, although he does bring a modest three-game hitting streak into Tuesday's action after going 5-for-14 with a homer, four RBI and a run scored in last week's series against the Los Angeles Angels. Santander is hitless in his six career at-bats against Baz.
