  • Picked up by Texas
    The Rangers claimed Ingram off waivers from the Mets on Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: Ingram has bounced around from the Tigers to the Mets and now to the Rangers since February in the waivers process. The left-handed reliever holds a 7.20 ERA and 3:6 K:BB over five innings this season at the Triple-A level. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago
     
  • Gets Wednesday off
    Kepler is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: After going 3-for-8 with four RBI and a run scored while starting the first two games of the series following his return from the injured list, Kepler will get a breather Wednesday. Kepler doesn't appear to have suffered any setbacks in his recovery from a right knee contusion; instead, the lefty-hitting outfielder's absence Wednesday likely has more to do with southpaw Garrett Crochet being on the bump for Chicago.

  • Heads to bench versus lefty
    Larnach is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: After starting each of the past seven games while going 7-for-20 with four extra-base hits (two home runs, two doubles), the lefty-hitting Larnach will retreat to the bench while southpaw Garrett Crochet takes the hill for the White Sox. Though Minnesota's outfield ranks became more crowded earlier this week when Max Kepler returned from the IL, expect manager Rocco Baldelli to open up at least semi-regular work for Larnach while he's wielding a hot bat.

  • Resting Wednesday
    Julien is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Julien will retreat to the bench Wednesday while southpaw Garrett Crochet takes the bump for Chicago. Kyle Farmer will step in for Julien at second base and will bat eighth. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Riding pine Wednesday
    Kirilloff is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Kirilloff will get his first day off since April 15 while the White Sox bring a southpaw (Garrett Crochet) to the hill Wednesday. With Kirilloff on the bench, Ryan Jeffers will get a day off behind the plate and will serve as Minnesota's DH. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Hamstring injury lingering
    Angels manager Ron Washington said Wednesday that Drury is still feeling soreness from last week's left hamstring injury, Anthony Bautista of The Sporting Tribune reports.

    Advice: Drury is out of the lineup Wednesday for a third straight game, although Washington said the 31-year-old is available to pinch-hit. The Angels are idle Thursday, so Drury could be ready to return to the lineup Friday versus the Twins. Luis Rengifo is at second base Wednesday. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago

  • Improves velocity in latest bullpen
    Waldichuk (elbow) threw a successful 30-pitch bullpen session Tuesday, MLB.com reports. "Waldichuk looked really good and got his velocity up from his last bullpen," said A's manager Mark Kotsay. "He's trending in the right direction."

    Advice: Waldichuk has now thrown three bullpen sessions over the last eight days alone, certainly an encouraging sign with respect to his surgically repaired elbow's strength. The left-hander is slated to throw additional bullpen sessions during the Athletics' road trip before facing hitters in a simulated game at some point next week, after which he'll head out on a rehab assignment, per Kotsay.

  • Adductor strain considered moderate
    Giants manager Bob Melvin said Wednesday that Snell could miss beyond the minimum 15 day with what has been termed a moderate left adductor strain, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Snell first felt the injury during a recent bullpen session and still was in discomfort when he attempted to throw again, necessitating an injured list move Wednesday. San Francisco will use an opener in Ryan Walker followed by likely bulk reliever Mitch White in Snell's place Wednesday, but how it plans to fill the spot in subsequent days is not yet clear.

  • Back to bench Wednesday
    Refsnyder is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    Advice: Refsnyder had started in right field in each of the previous four games, going 7-for-15 with one home run, four doubles, four runs, three RBI and one stolen base. Though his opportunities to start against right-handed pitching may become more scarce with Rafael Devers (knee) making his return from a one-week absence Wednesday, Refsnyder should still have the opportunity to play regularly versus southpaws.
