Hector Santiago - R - White Sox

Hector Santiago or Chris Volstad are expected to make a spot start for the White Sox on Tuesday against the Mariners.

The starter is needed with Miguel Gonzalez (shoulder) going down. Both Santiago and Volstad have plenty of starting experience, but of the two only Volstad has made a start this season and that was back on April 6 at Triple-A Charlotte. Obviously, there's no fantasy value to mine here regardless of who is picked.

Addison Russell - SS - Cubs

Addison Russell stayed behind in Denver and spent a couple hours in the hospital after having an allergic reaction to food from the postgame spread Sunday.

Russell has a shellfish allergy and thinks he might have eaten something that had shrimp in it but wasn't labeled properly. The good news is he's doing fine now and rejoined the Cubs on Monday in Cleveland. Russell thinks he'll be well enough to play Tuesday.

Justin Bour - 1B - Marlins

Justin Bour is not in the Marlins' lineup Monday.

It appears to be a routine day off. Miguel Rojas will slide over to first base and Yadiel Rivera will play shortstop.

Eric Lauer - S - Padres

The Padres will call up Eric Lauer to make his major league debut Tuesday in Colorado.

A former first-round pick, Lauer holds a 3.00 ERA and 19/6 K/BB ratio over 18 innings across his first three starts for Triple-A El Paso this season. Lauer doesn't have the upside of some other arms in the Padres' system, but the lefty has polish and has missed a decent number of bats in the minors. He should be avoided in fantasy leagues in Coors Field, but Lauer could be an interesting streamer option in more favorable matchups if he sticks around.

Byron Buxton - OF - Twins

Byron Buxton (migraines) will not play a rehab game with High-A Fort Myers on Monday after fouling a ball off his foot in his first rehab game Sunday.

Buxton served as Fort Myers' designated hitter Sunday and was slated to play center field Monday and Tuesday before being activated from the disabled list Wednesday. He could still conceivably play Tuesday and return Wednesday, although it's possible the foot injury pushes his timetable back a day or two. The good news is Buxton's migraine issues appear to be behind him.

Carlos Rodon - S - White Sox

Carlos Rodon (shoulder) threw 34 pitches over three innings in an extended spring training game Monday.

Fangraphs' Eric Longenhagen was at the outing and clocked Rodon mostly at 90-92 mph with his fastball but added that he topped out at 93-95 a few times. He also added that he threw more changeups than sliders, which isn't a surprise at this stage of the rehab process. Rodon is coming back from arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder and isn't expected back until June.

Blake Wood - R - Angels

Angels placed RHP Blake Wood on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to April 22, with a right elbow impingement.

Wood was scored upon in his last three appearances after 10 straight scoreless outings, but he might have been pitching physically compromised. It's unclear how long he'll be on the shelf.
Apr 23 - 5:14 PM
Eduardo Paredes - R - Angels

Angels recalled RHP Eduardo Paredes from Triple-A Salt Lake.

This is already Paredes' third different stint with the big club in 2018. He tossed two scoreless frames in his lone relief appearance in the majors this season.
