Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams (finger) is not in the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the San Francisco Giants. This marks the third game in a row that Abrams has missed due to a bone bruise on his left pinkie finger. The organization is hopeful that it's a minor issue and he'll return soon. Otherwise, Abrams could be looking at a trip to the injured list. Ildemaro Vargas will get another start at shortstop, but he's not worth looking at as a streaming option for Monday. Check back on Tuesday to see if Abrams is back in there.UPDATE: Manager Dave Martinez is hopeful that Abrams will be in the lineup on Tuesday.

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander (shoulder) is scheduled to make another rehab start over the weekend. It doesn't sound like the organization has decided on which day Verlander will start. He threw 65 pitches during a rehab start with Triple-A Sugarland on Sunday. It wasn't great results for the veteran right-hander but the main focus is getting him healthy. It sounds like the organization plans to have Verlander throw a bullpen session on Wednesday as well. The hope is that Verlander can get back in the Astros rotation by the end of April.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Jose Soriano has been named the starter for Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The organization has decided to stretch him out as a starter likely due to the fact they've had multiple injuries in their rotation. Soriano is expected to throw around 60 pitches during Wednesday's outing. That means Soriano could give them four or five innings depending on how it goes for him. He's worth keeping an eye on as a possible streaming option.

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France has been activated from the paternity leave list on Monday. France missed three games while his wife gave birth. However, he's back at first base and batting seventh versus right-hander Jose Berrios on Monday. France is batting .320 with an RBI in seven games this season. Fantasy managers can get him back in their lineups ahead of Monday's game.

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Jameson Taillon (shoulder) is set to make his next rehab start with Triple-A Iowa. The right-hander made a rehab start with Double-A Tennessee on Sunday. The team hasn't scheduled the next start, but Taillon will make the jump to the Triple-A roster. If all goes well, Taillon could rejoin the Cubs rotation after that start. At worst, Taillon is expected to be back in Chicago by May. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update later in the week.
