Brandon Crawford SS | STL
Giants' Brandon Crawford: Sits out Tuesday
Crawford is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Crawford will get the day off after starting the first eight games for the Giants. He's off to a nice start to the season, going 11-for-30 with one homer, five RBI and three runs. Eduardo Nunez will cover for him at shortstop while Aaron Hill mans third base.

James Nelson SS | HOU
Marlins' James Nelson: Held back with quad injury
Nelson was held back in extended spring training to rehab a quad injury, MLB.com's Mike Rosenbaum reports.
A 15th-round pick in 2016, Nelson hit .284 with one home run and seven steals in 162 at-bats in the Gulf Coast League last year.

Trevor Story SS | BOS
Rockies' Trevor Story: Sits out Tuesday
Story is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Padres.
Story will get what looks like a regular day of rest Tuesday as Cristhian Adames takes over at shortstop. The young shortstop is off to a slow start this season, hitting 4-for-27 (.148) with three runs and one stolen base through eight games.

Johan Camargo SS | SF
Braves' Johan Camargo: Receives first big-league callup
Camargo was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.
With Matt Kemp (hamstring) landing on the disabled list, Camargo will receive his first taste of the big leagues after appearing in just three games at Triple-A this season. That said, the 23-year-old is blocked at each infield position by more established options, so he'll likely fill a reserve role during his first major-league stint.

Miguel Rojas 2B | LAD
Marlins' Miguel Rojas: Sits out Tuesday
Rojas is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Braves.
Rojas is expected to carry a bigger workload with Adeiny Hechavarria (oblique) on the shelf, but he'll head to the bench for a night off. J.T. Riddle will make his big-league debut to fill his place at shortstop.

Xander Bogaerts SS | SD
Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Officially taken off bereavement list
Bogaerts was reinstated from the bereavement list Tuesday, Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald reports.
Reports surfaced earlier in the day that the young shortstop would be in the lineup for Tuesday's contest with the Orioles, but this procedural move was the only thing in the way of that becoming a reality. To make room for him on the roster, Deven Marrero was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket.

Xander Bogaerts SS | SD
Red Sox's Xander Bogaerts: Returning to lineup Tuesday
Bogaerts will be in the Red Sox's lineup Tuesday against the Orioles, WEEI's Evan Drellich reports.
He has not yet been officially activated from the bereavement list, and his spot in the lineup has not been made public, but owners in daily transaction leagues should plan on deploying Bogaerts in this contest. Marco Hernandez and Steve Selsky seem like the two most likely candidates to be optioned as a corresponding move.

Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Astros' Carlos Correa: Leads offense in Monday's loss
Correa went 3-for-4 in Monday's 6-0 loss to the Mariners.
Correa stood apart from the rest of the offense, which managed just four hits (three singles and a double) in seven innings against Seattle starter James Paxton. The shortstop is emerging from a chilly start, banging out five hits -- albeit all singles -- over the last two games. Unfortunately, the Astros are lower half in average (.232, 18th), OBP (.306, 20th) and slugging (.380, 20th). Nobody's getting on base for Correa to knock in, and he's not hitting the ball with authority yet.

Brandon Crawford SS | STL
Giants' Brandon Crawford: Chips in offense in win
Crawford went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run during Monday's 4-1 win over Arizona.
It was another solid outing for Crawford, as hitting in the heart of the lineup helps his fantasy floor. He offers more pop than most shortstops and really moves the needle in the RBI column, having netted 84 in consecutive seasons. Crawford has gone 11-for-30 with a home run, five RBI and six runs to start the year; he's a serviceable option in the majority of settings.

Trea Turner SS | PHI
Nationals' Trea Turner: Aims to return once eligible
Turner (hamstring) is expected to return from the DL once he becomes eligible, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
Manager Dusty Baker said that the implementation of the 10-day disabled list aided in the decision to move Turner to the DL, as the team is optimistic that he won't need to miss extra time. Baker also stated that there was concern that the hamstring strain could linger throughout the season had Turner not been rested right away, which led to Washington erring on the side of caution with the young star.
