    • Blue Jays designate Cavan Biggio for assignment
      Blue Jays designated INF-OF Cavan Biggio for assignment,

      Advice: Spencer Horwitz is coming up in his place. Biggio saved himself from being non-tendered with a strong finish last season, but he could never get it going this year, batting .200/.323/.291 with two homers in 131 plate appearances. While he has versatility working in his favor, he’s not particularly good at any position, and he’s hit .219/.327/.351 since the beginning of 2021. The Jays will try to trade Biggio, but that might require taking on part of the approx. $2.4 million he’s still owed over the rest of the season. If he clears waivers because of that salary, he’ll likely remain with the organization, since he doesn’t have the service time to reject the assignment and still collect the money.

    • Lands on IL with sprained thumb
      Double-A Wichita placed Rodriguez on the 7-day injured list Friday due to a sprained thumb, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Rodriguez sustained the injury Wednesday while sliding into second base on a double. The 21-year-old prospect has been tearing it up in Double-A this season, slashing .298/.479/.621 with eight home runs and 20 RBI over 167 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 3:29 pm
       
    • Emmanuel Rodriguez injures thumb in Double-A
      Emmanuel Rodriguez was placed on the IL at Double-A Wichita because of a sprained thumb suffered sliding into second base.

      Advice: Rodriguez is playing like someone who might be able to jump from Double-A to the majors — he’s hit .298/.479/.621 with eight homers and nine steals in 167 plate appearances — but injuries have limited him to just 37 games thus far and now he’ll miss at least another week.

    • Rangers bring back INF Davis Wendzel
      Rangers recalled INF Davis Wendzel from Triple-A Round Rock.

      Advice: Wendzel spent most of April and May with the Rangers, going 2-for-19 with a homer and no walks. He’ll be available as a backup infielder while Corey Seager is sidelined. Rotoworld Today, 3:14 pm
       
    • Rangers designate OF Derek Hill for assignment
      Rangers designated OF Derek Hill for assignment.

      Advice: Hill gets the boot because of the Corey Seager injury, since Seager isn’t going on the IL but the Rangers want another infielder, in this case Davis Wendzel, available if needed. Hill was 2-for-9 with a steal in 2 1/2 weeks with the club. Rotoworld Today, 3:12 pm

    • Hitting and throwing
      Wade (hamstring) has begun hitting and throwing programs at the Giants' complex in Arizona, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Wade still has plenty of boxes to check off before he can start playing in rehab games, but resuming baseball activity is certainly a step in the right direction. The 30-year-old was diagnosed with a Grade 2 hamstring strain in late May and still projects to be sidelined until at least the end of June. Rotowire.com Today, 3:12 pm

    • DFA'd by Texas
      The Rangers designated Hill for assignment Friday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

      Advice: With Texas opting to keep Corey Seager (hamstring) off the IL, Davis Wendzel was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move. Hill was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on May 21. He appeared in five games for the Rangers, going 2-for-9 with one run and one stolen base over that span. Hill will weigh his options should he clear waivers. Rotowire.com Today, 2:58 pm

    • Recalled from Triple-A
      The Rangers recalled Wendzel from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

      Advice: With Corey Seager day-to-day with a hamstring injury, the Rangers will bring Wendzel up from the minors to provide some short-term infield depth. The 27-year-old was optioned to Round Rock in May after going just 2-for-29 in 17 big-league games, but he's since slashed .250/.364/.386 across 55 plate appearances in Triple-A. Derek Hill was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 2:53 pm
       
    • Still out of lineup
      Machado (hip) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Machado sustained a mild right hip flexor strain Wednesday against the Angels, and the 31-year-old will sit for a second straight game Friday. While he didn't start in the series opener against Arizona on Thursday, Machado did pinch hit for Kyle Higashioka in the eighth inning and grounded out to the pitcher. While Machado begins Friday's game in the dugout, Donovan Solano will start at third base and bat fifth against Diamonbacks right-hander Brandon Pfaadt. Rotowire.com Today, 2:49 pm
