Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Nolan Arenado (groin) was pulled from Tuesday night's game early in San Francisco against the Giants with right-groin tightness, according to the team. Before leaving early, Arenado went 1-for-2 at the plate with a run scored and a walk. He was replaced at the hot corner by Jose Fernandez in the seventh inning. We should know more about the severity of Arenado's injury on Wednesday after he's evaluated by the training staff. If the veteran third baseman is forced to the injured list, Fernandez would be the primary beneficiary of more playing time at the hot corner in Arizona. At the very least, fantasy managers should not expect Arenado to be active for Wednesday's game at Oracle Park. The eight-time All-Star and five-time Silver Slugger winner has cooled off of late and came into Tuesday hitting .219 (7-for-32) with a homer and seven RBI in nine games since May 16. The 14-year veteran has seen his offensive game decline rapidly over the last couple of seasons.

New York Yankees infielder Amed Rosario led the charge during the team's offensive onslaught on Tuesday night in the 15-1 drubbing of the hosting Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Rosario went 4-for-6 at the plate with two two-run home runs and three runs scored to improve his season average to .279 and his OPS to .863. The 30-year-old Dominican veteran hit two of the Yankees' six home runs on the night, and the home runs were his first since April 22. Rosario, who isn't an everyday player for the Bombers, came into Tuesday's contest in KC with a .250 average (20-for-80) with only four home runs, 16 RBI, and 10 runs scored in 29 games played across 89 plate appearances. Because the 10-year veteran is a bench player in the Bronx, he's not of much use in any fantasy leagues, and he's currently rostered in just 1% of Yahoo leagues. Rosario's two-homer game is unlikely to buy him more playing time going forward.

Kansas City Royals manager Matt Quatraro said on Tuesday that right-handed reliever Carlos Estevez (foot, shoulder) was scheduled to see the team doctor, and if all goes well, he could be cleared to resume throwing again, according to Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star. The 33-year-old veteran was pummeled for four runs in one-third of an inning in his 2026 season debut and then landed on the 15-day injured list with a left-foot contusion on April 1. While rehabbing, Estevez suffered a rotator-cuff strain in his right shoulder, pushing his return back even further for the Royals' bullpen. He has been trending in the right direction of late, but Estevez still has some boxes to check and will need to go on another minor-league rehab assignment before being reinstated from the IL. Lucas Erceg has been KC's primary closer with Estevez out, but he blew yet another save on Monday in a loss to the New York Yankees and could be demoted to a setup role once Estevez returns. For that reason alone, Estevez is worth stashing in deeper fantasy leagues for saves-needy managers. He's rostered in half of Yahoo leagues right now.

Boston Red Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet (shoulder) faced live hitters for the first time on Tuesday during a live batting practice session since going on the 15-day injured list last month with left-shoulder inflammation, according to Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald. Crochet threw an inning at Fenway Park and said that he will throw another live BP on Sunday. Compared to his prior bullpens, the talented southpaw said his session on Tuesday went much better. He said the fatigue that landed him on the shelf on April 29 is no longer a problem, and the issue of late has been getting his mechanics back to where they need to be. Interim manager Chad Tracy said Crochet's velocity was sitting in the mid-90s, and that "it was a good day for him." Crochet initially hoped to avoid a minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining Boston's starting rotation, but at this point, one will probably be required. It means that it might be another week or two before Crochet is back for fantasy managers. He finished second in the American League Cy Young voting in 2025 and should not be available on the waiver wire in any fantasy leagues.
