Riley Greene is not in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Brewers.
Greene has been struggling recently, going 1-for-24 with 14 strikeouts over his last seven games. Obviously fantasy managers shouldn’t be concerned with such an extremely small sample size. However, it partially explains why he’s getting a day off to reset mentally with lefty Tyler Anderson on the mound for Milwaukee.
Mark Canha (abductor) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Omaha.
Canha landed on the shelf last week with a left abductor strain and figures to rejoin Kansas City’s roster in a bench role at some point later this week after a couple rehab games. The 36-year-old veteran can be safely ignored in most fantasy leagues.
Trae Young (Achilles) is probable to play against the Magic in the Play-In Tournament on Tuesday.
Even in the postseason, Atlanta is still listing Young as probable ahead of every game. There isn’t a chance that he sits out, so expect him to occupy his typical spot in the starting unit in the 7/8 matchup, with a chance to play the Celtics in the first round on the line.
Jesse Hahn has elected free agency.
Hahn made a pair of relief appearances last week for Seattle, his first big-league outings since 2021, and was promptly removed from the club’s 40-man roster. The 35-year-old journeyman could potentially return on a new minor league pact, but he’ll test the free agent waters for now.
Brayan Bello (shoulder) will make another minor league rehab start on Wednesday for Double-A Portland.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora added that Bello’s next outing will likely be his final rehab start before returning to make his season debut. The 25-year-old righty has been on the shelf since spring training recovering from a right shoulder strain. He should be ready to rejoin Boston’s starting rotation early next week.
Liam Hendriks (elbow) will make an additional minor league rehab appearance for Triple-A Worcester.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters Hendriks will likely be activated for Friday’s series opener against the White Sox. The 36-year-old veteran tossed a scoreless inning on Sunday for Triple-A Worcester and will make at least one additional rehab outing before making his long-awaited Boston debut at Fenway Park.
