Bethancourt (illness) returned to the clubhouse Tuesday, MLB.com's Mark Bowman reports.
Analysis:
A bout with the flu has kept him sidelined since Thursday, and while it is not clear when he will return to the lineup, the fact that he is back with the team suggests he could be back in the mix sometime this week. While Bethancourt's defense, particularly his arm, is legendary, his bat lags behind, and he should only be a target in deeper formats until he can prove to have made strides offensively.
