Gage Workman Gets Designated For Assignment

Chicago White Sox infielder Gage Workman (hip) was activated off the 10-day injured list and designated for assignment by the organization. Workman only managed to play in one game for the White Sox before going down with a hip injury. He was traded to the White Sox from the Chicago Cubs a few weeks ago. Workman is a Rule 5 pick, so he'll be offered back to the Detroit Tigers, assuming he clears waivers. Last season, Workman slashed .280/.366/.476 with 18 home runs, 89 RBI, and 30 stolen bases in 126 games in Double-A with the Tigers organization. Workman appears to be able to do enough with the bat to warrant a bench spot on an MLB roster.

Alejandro Kirk Avoids Concussion, Available On Tuesday

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk (head) is not in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Despite that, Jays' manager John Schneider said that Kirk has passed concussion protocol testing and is likely available off the bench for this game. This is good news after Kirk was hit in the head by a backswing during Sunday's contest. The expectation is that Kirk will be back in the starting lineup on Wednesday. For now, Tyler Heineman will cover behind the plate and bat eighth versus right-hander Shane Baz on Tuesday.

Jorge Polanco Heads To The Bench

Seattle Mariners infielder Jorge Polanco is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the New York Yankees. After a rough 2024 campaign, Polanco has bounced back nicely early this year. He's slashing .327/.372/.673 with 10 home runs and 29 RBI in 31 games. Despite that, Polanco will head to the bench against tough left-hander Max Fried on Tuesday. In his absence, Mitch Garver will bat fifth and serve as the designated hitter against Fried. Garver has good career numbers against left-handed pitching, but Fried has been on another level to start the season. That being said, Garver won't be a recommended streaming option while Polanco can be benched in fantasy formats on Tuesday.

Jordan Lawlar Making Season Debut On Tuesday

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Jordan Lawlar will make his season debut against the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday. Lawlar was called up on Monday after hitting .336/.413/.579 with six home runs and 13 steals with Triple-A Reno. The 22-year-old is a top prospect that is viewed as a five-category fantasy contributor. His role in Arizona is unclear, but he figures to get significant playing time off the bench at multiple positions. Lawlar struggled during his 14-game stretch with the D-Backs in 2023, but has a ton of potential. He'll cover shortstop and bat eighth versus left-hander Robbie Ray on Tuesday. Lawlar is someone that needs to be rostered in all fantasy formats.

Hyeseong Kim Heading To The Bench On Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Hyeseong Kim is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Athletics. This appears to be a regular rest day for Kim against a left-handed starting. Since being called up, Kim has gone 7-for-22 at the plate with two RBI and two stolen bases in nine games. He doesn't have great fantasy value, but is worth rostering in deep leagues while Tommy Edman (ankle) is sidelined. On Tuesday, Miguel Rojas will cover second base and bat eighth versus left-hander Jeffrey Springs. Fantasy managers should adjust their lineups accordingly ahead of first pitch.
