Max Kepler - OF - Twins

Max Kepler will move into the No. 2 spot on Tuesday against the Yankees.

Twins manager Paul Molitor is shaking things up with Joe Mauer getting the night off against left-hander CC Sabathia. While Kepler is off to a good start in a small sample against left-handers this season, he really struggled against them coming into the year. It should be a good test for him.

Joe Mauer - 1B - Twins

Joe Mauer is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Yankees.

He'll sit against veteran left-hander CC Sabathia. Logan Morrison will start at first base and bat seventh while Miguel Sano will DH and Eduardo Escobar will play third and bat cleanup.

Ronald Acuna - OF - Braves

Braves OF prospect Ronald Acuna went 1-for-3 with a walk and stole three bases in the first game of a doubleheader for Triple-A Gwinnett.

Acuna hasn't been running as much to start the 2018 season, but he let it rip on Sunday and now owns four stolen bags on the season. The numbers (.578 OPS) still aren't near where they should be for a talent like this, but he's starting to put things together, and he's showing a better approach at the plate. We still think Acuna will be up before the end of the month, and if not, it won't be long after that.

Tyler Austin - 1B - Yankees

Tyler Austin is not in Tuesday's lineup against the Twins.

Austin homered and knocked in four runs on Monday, but Neil Walker will make the start at first base with Jose Berrios on the hill for Minnesota. Walker is batting just .183/.246/.217 through 15 games this season, but the Yankees really need to get him going.

Fernando Tatis Jr. - SS - Padres

Padres SS prospect Fernando Tatis Jr. went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts on Monday for Double-A San Antonio.

It's very early, but Tatis's first month has been ugly. Not only is he hitting just .183 with a .192 on-base percentage, he's struck out in 24 of his 71 plate appearances, with just one walk. It doesn't matter how much power you have, it's very tough to add value when you're not putting the ball in play in more than a third of your at-bats. Tatis Jr. is still among the very best prospects in baseball, but we sure hope we see more contact soon.

Alex Young - S - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks LHP prospect Alex Young hurled six one-hit innings on Monday for Double-A Jackson.

Young, 24, didn't allow a run, and he struck out eight while walking just one. The second-round pick in 2015 struggled last year, but he's off to a solid start in 2018, and showing four usable pitches that he can throw for strikes. There's some value here in NL-only dynasty leagues, and if he can continue to command his arsenal, that value could increase to all formats.
Apr 24 - 2:31 PM
Brett Oberholtzer - S - Rockies

Rockies signed LHP Brett Oberholtzer to a minor league contract.

Oberholtzer was set to pitch for the independent Somerset Patriots, but he'll report to the Rockies' Triple-A affiliate in Albuquerque instead. The 28-year-old hasn't pitched in the majors since 2016 and put up a 4.12 ERA over 24 starts at the Triple-A level last year. He's strictly organizational depth at this point of his career.

Dustin Fowler - OF - Athletics

Athletics OF prospect Dustin Fowler went 3-for-5 with a stolen base on Monday for Triple-A Nashville.

Fowler now has five steals on the season. The -left-handed hitting outfielder has a .275 batting average, but his on-base percentage of .311 and slugging percentage of .304 leave a lot to be desired. There's obvious talent in the former New York Yankees prospect, but the approach needs to get better -- and there has to be a semblance of power -- before he's getting called up to Oakland.
