Andy Pages Gets Rare Off Day in Midst of Hot Streak
Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages will head to the bench for a rare off day on Tuesday night. The hot-hitting Pages will head to the bench after starting in every game this season. Through 22 games, Pages is slashing .370/.416/.605 with five home runs, 21 RBI, and four steals. The right-handed slugger currently leads the league in hits (30) and RBI. Fantasy managers should pull him out of their lineups on Tuesday, but he should return for Wednesday's game. Alex Call will take over in center field and bat eighth versus right-hander Landen Roupp.

Freddie Freeman Activated, Returning to Lineup on Tuesday
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman was activated from the paternity leave list on Tuesday. Freeman is back in the lineup after missing the last two games while being away from the team for family reasons. He will slide into the three-hole and bat third against right-hander Landen Roupp on Tuesday. Dalton Rushing, who covered first base on Monday, will move behind the plate for Tuesday's game. Through 20 games, Freeman is slashing .296/.360/.519 with three home runs and 14 RBI this season. Fantasy managers need to double-check their lineups and make sure Freeman is active ahead of first pitch.

Brandon Lowe is Day-to-Day with Knee Issue
Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Brandon Lowe (knee) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Texas Rangers. It's unclear when Lowe suffered the injury, but he'll miss his second straight game due to left knee discomfort. Pirates manager Don Kelly said Lowe is trending in the right direction and is hopefully available to come off the bench on Tuesday. Barring any setbacks, it doesn't sound like Lowe will require a trip to the Injured List. Nick Gonzales will bat seventh and cover second base against right-hander Kumar Rocker on Tuesday. Fantasy managers should check back on Wednesday for another update on Lowe.

Matthew Boyd to be Activated and Start on Wednesday
Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Matthew Boyd (biceps) will be activated from the 15-day Injured List on Wednesday. The veteran southpaw is set to be activated and return to the mound for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Boyd is back in the mix after missing over two weeks due to a left biceps strain. He made one rehab start, throwing 64 pitches last Thursday with Triple-A Iowa. The assumption is that Boyd will have a fairly normal workload on Wednesday. Boyd was hit around on Opening Day, but looked better in his second start of the season. The veteran southpaw should be rostered in most 12-team formats.
