Hudson is now off the roster with Tanner Gordon coming up from Albuquerque in the corresponding move. Hudson was unsurprisingly ineffective while with Colorado with a 5.84 ERA and 1.64 WHIP and ugly 48/46 K/BB over 86 1/3 innings. If he doesn’t get claimed or acquired via trade, he can elect free agency or report to Triple-A. The former seems more likely than the latter.

Buxton will miss his second straight contest due to lower back tightness following a precautionary exit over the weekend after a collision with the center-field wall on Sunday. It’ll be rookie Austin Martin filling in once again during his ongoing absence. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment. Given the uncertain nature of back ailments, we’re not ruling out the possibility that Buxton could require a trip to the injured list.

McCaughan was claimed off waivers from the Guardians back in early July and will bolster Miami’s worn-down bullpen ahead of Tuesday’s showdown against the Reds. The 28-year-old righty has made three relief appearances this season in the big leagues.

Anderson has been shipped out to enable Miami to bring in a fresh bullpen arm after throwing a staggering 62 pitches over 5 1/3 innings on Monday night in mop up duty against the Reds.

Mayo will take a seat after going 0-for-9 with five strikeouts and a pair of walks over three games to open his big league career. It doesn’t come as a total shock that the 22-year-old top prospect is facing some adversity in his first taste of the majors. Fantasy managers should continue to exercise patience here as his extensive minor league track record suggests he’s going to start to heat up eventually.

It’s a positive sign for fantasy managers as Suzuki is back in right field and batting third on Tuesday night following a brief one-game absence due to neck stiffness. It doesn’t appear to be a major concern moving forward.

O’Neill is presumably available off the bench, but he remains absent from Red Sox manager Alex Cora’s lineup card for the fourth consecutive contest due to an ongoing illness. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

Lee is back in Minnesota’s lineup at second base and batting ninth following a two-game absence due to right shoulder soreness. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern moving forward. The 23-year-old rookie has been excellent so far since arriving in the majors, batting 250 (23-for-92) with two homers, 14 RBI and two steals over 103 plate appearances.

Ramos is back in center field and batting second on Tuesday following a two-game absence due to right thumb soreness. The 24-year-old slugger has been one of the biggest fantasy breakouts of the 2024 campaign with 15 homers and 53 RBI across 320 plate appearances over 74 games.

McCutchen is back at designated hitter and leading off during Tuesday’s series opener against San Diego following a one-game absence due to left quad tightness.

Greene is presumably getting close to heading out on a minor league rehab assignment after landing on the injured list nearly two weeks ago with a right hamstring strain.
