  • Martín Pérez charged with four runs versus Angels
    Martín Pérez yielded four runs in five-plus innings Wednesday versus the Angels.

    Advice: It was two runs through five, but Pérez allowed two singles to start the sixth and both runners came around to score off Luis Ortiz. Pérez struck out five and walked none. His 36/13 K/BB ratio in 45 innings this season is an improvement over his typical ratio, but he’s still not someone we would consider in fantasy leagues. Rotoworld Today, 12:19 pm

  • Joins bullpen
    The Twins recalled Staumont from Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Staumont has allowed five runs but boasts a 16:3 K:BB over 10.2 relief innings this season with St. Paul. If/when he makes an appearance with the Twins, it will be his first in the majors since he had thoracic outlet syndrome surgery last July. Rotowire.com Today, 12:17 pm
     
  • Picks up first win Tuesday
    Stanek (1-0) got the win against the Twins on Tuesday, recording a strikeout over a scoreless two-thirds of an inning.

    Advice: Stanek got his first victory in a Mariners uniform on just 11 pitches, entering the game after Tayler Saucedo suffered a knee injury covering first base. Stanek got the last two outs in the eighth and then became the pitcher of record when Seattle snapped a 6-6 tie with a four-run rally in the ninth. The veteran right-hander has bounced back from a three-appearance stretch where he allowed at least one run to contribute consecutive scoreless outings. Rotowire.com Today, 12:17 pm
     
  • Heads back to Triple-A
    The Twins optioned Alcala to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Alcala allowed four runs and threw 48 pitches over two innings in Tuesday's loss to the Mariners, so he's being sent out in favor of a fresh arm. Josh Staumont will join the bullpen. Rotowire.com Today, 12:13 pm
     
  • Call-up official
    The Rangers recalled White from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.

    Advice: White will offer the Rangers some length out of the bullpen for Wednesday's doubleheader in Oakland. If White ends up being needed for multiple innings in relief Wednesday, he could be swapped off the 26-man active roster for another fresh arm heading into the Rangers' weekend series in Colorado. White has made five starts for Round Rock this season, accruing a 5.70 ERA and 1.64 WHIP over 23.2 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 12:00 pm
     
  • Goes on IL with rotator cuff strain
    The Rangers placed Dunning (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list with a right rotator cuff strain.

    Advice: The roster move is retroactive to Sunday, one day after Dunning made his seventh start of the season while taking a no-decision against the Royals. The Rangers haven't indicated that Dunning sustained the injury at any point during that outing, but the right-hander's shoulder was evidently bothersome coming out of that start. Dunning is without a precise target date to return from the IL, though manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday that the 29-year-old isn't expected to have an especially lengthy stay on the shelf. While Dunning joins Nathan Eovaldi (groin), Max Scherzer (back), Cory Bradford (ribs), Jacob deGrom (elbow) and Tyler Mahle (elbow) on the shelf, the Rangers should have back-end rotation spots available for both Jose Urena and Jack Leiter.

  • Visit with Dr. ElAttrache scheduled
    Waldichuk (elbow) will visit with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Waldichuk recently had a setback while throwing a live batting practice session. He was diagnosed last October with a UCL sprain and flexor strain but chose a more conservative Tenex procedure to remove scar tissue and help alleviate pain. More will be known after Monday's exam, but his upcoming meeting with Dr. ElAttrache would seem to suggest that Waldichuk's treatment plan hasn't panned out as anticipated.

  • Picks up 12th save
    Finnegan struck out one batter during a perfect ninth inning to pick up the save Tuesday against Baltimore.

    Advice: Finnegan has been one of the most reliable closers in the big leagues this season, and he now leads the majors after picking up his 12th save Tuesday. The 32-year-old right-hander owns a 1.76 ERA and 0.85 WHIP, and he's struck out 15 batters across 15.1 innings on the year. Rotowire.com Today, 11:02 am
     
  • Rangers place Dane Dunning (shoulder) on IL
    According to Rangers manager Bruce Bochy, Dane Dunning is headed to the injured list with a shoulder issue.

    Advice: Wow. Dunning was scheduled to pitch against the Rockies on Friday, but now he’ll be sidelined for at least the next two weeks. The 29-year-old has posted a 4.10 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 43/17 K/BB ratio across 37 1/3 innings this season. Rotoworld Today, 11:00 am
