Shortstop Elly De La Cruz is expected back Tuesday for the Cincinnati Reds after a 19-game absence due to a strained right hamstring, having completed three rehab starts with Triple-A Louisville. Likewise, the New York Mets are evaluating Francisco Lindor for activation after he plays a third rehab game Tuesday, with the star shortstop having been sidelined for two months with an undisclosed injury. In other roster news, the Philadelphia Phillies recalled right-hander Alan Rangel from Triple-A Lehigh Valley and reinstated left-hander Kyle Backhus from the 15-day injured list.

The Chicago White Sox are set to activate catcher Kyle Teel for his season debut against Cleveland. Teel had been on the 60-day injured list, initially suffering a thigh strain before a knee injury. Fantasy managers looking for waiver wire additions may want to consider rookies from the AL Central, as detailed in a recent analysis of free agent pickups.
