  • Jesse Winker leaves game with apparent leg injury
    Jesse Winker was removed from Saturday’s ballgame against the Marlins in the third inning with an apparent leg injury.

    Advice: The 30-year-old outfielder awkwardly rounded second base before pulling up and retreating during the first inning. He stayed in the game initially, but was ultimately lifted two innings later. Expect the Nationals to provide an update on his status shortly. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago

  • Sitting Saturday
    Taveras is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Mariners, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

  • Brewers outright James Meeker to Triple-A
    Brewers sent RHP James Meeker outright to Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: The 29-year-old hurler was jettisoned off of the Brewers’ 40-man roster earlier in the week, but he passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as extra bullpen depth for the team at the Triple-A level. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago
     
  • Remains out Saturday
    Smith is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Mariners, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Smith will miss a second straight game as he nurses "general tightness". Ezequiel Duran will draw the start at third base while Robbie Grossman enters the lineup at designated hitter and bats seventh against Seattle. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago

  • Another rehab start set
    Scherzer will make another rehab start with Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday against Tacoma.

    Advice: Scherzer will be back on the mound for the second start of his rehab assignment after tossing four scoreless while striking out five Sunday against Triple-A Oklahoma City. The right-hander has yet to make his major-league debut this year as he's been recovering from offseason back surgery and then a subsequent thumb injury he suffered in April. If all goes well against Tacoma, it's possible that it is Scherzer's final rehab outing. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago
     
  • Back in big leagues
    Huff was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

    Advice: Huff will return to the major-league roster after being sent down in late April, replacing Jonah Heim with the team in Seattle after Heim was placed on the paternity list Saturday. Huff will likely operate as the backup catcher to Andrew Knizner while in the bigs. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
     
  • Placed on paternity list
    Heim was placed on the paternity list Saturday.

    Advice: Heim will be away from the team for up to three days as he is with his family for the birth of his third child. In the meantime, fellow catcher Sam Huff was called up from Triple-A Round Rock to replace him on the major-league roster. Rotowire.com 58 minutes ago
     
  • Breather Saturday
    Haniger is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Rangers.

    Advice: Haniger will get a breather after he went 2-for-4 in team's 3-2 win Friday. Cal Raleigh will take over at designated hitter while Mitch Garver enters the lineup at catcher and bats fifth against Texas. Rotowire.com Today, 1:09 pm
     
  • Rangers recall Sam Huff from Triple-A on Saturday
    Rangers recalled C Sam Huff from Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: With Jonah Heim hitting the paternity list on Saturday, Huff will get another opportunity to show what he can do at the big-league level. Huff has appeared in one game but has not had a plate appearance for the Rangers this season. He’s a career .262/.314/.462 hitter with 10 homers and 20 RBI in 210 plate appearances at the game’s highest level. Rotoworld Today, 1:06 pm
