    • Could play rehab games this weekend
      Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Wednesday that Nootbaar (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment as soon as this weekend, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

      Advice: Nootbaar hit in the batting cage Monday and then took on-field batting practice Tuesday for the first time since suffering a strained left oblique in late May. It's not clear how many rehab games he might require, but a return in early July is looking doable. Rotowire.com 2 minutes ago

    • Won't travel for start of road trip
      Astros manager Joe Espada said Wednesday that Verlander (neck) hasn't resumed playing catch and won't accompany the team to New York for this weekend's three-game series versus the Mets, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Verlander isn't eligible to return from the 15-day injured list until Monday, but with the Astros continuing their trip in Toronto and then Minnesota next week, the right-hander's absence for the start of the road swing wouldn't seem to inspire much optimism about his chances of being ready to make a start against the Blue Jays, and perhaps even the Twins. The Astros will likely wait and see if Verlander is able to take any meaningful steps forward in his recovery from the neck issue over the next few days while he's back in Houston before determining his status for the Toronto series.

    • Sprains ankle
      Edman (wrist) sprained his ankle while fielding grounders Tuesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: It's not viewed as a major setback, but it's not ideal after Edman had finally been making some real progress with his surgically repaired right wrist. The hope has been that Edman would be ready for a rehab assignment soon, and while that still could be the case, this could delay him a few days. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago

    • Removed from 40-man roster
      The Rangers designated Rodriguez for assignment Wednesday.

      Advice: The team needed to free up a spot on its 40-man roster. Rodriguez holds a 6.88 ERA and 1.59 WHIP over 17 innings during his time in the majors this season and stands a good chance of clearing waivers. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
       
    • Rangers demote Ezequiel Duran to Triple-A
      Rangers optioned INF/OF Ezequiel Duran to Triple-A Round Rock.

      Advice: We thought this might happen when Josh Jung came off the IL, but the Rangers declined to wait that long. Duran was hitting .256/.294/.324 in 187 plate appearances this season, and with Josh Smith thriving, he wasn’t going to play much following Jung’s return. A stint in Triple-A shouldn’t hurt.

    • Shifted to 60-day IL
      The Rangers transferred Winn (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

      Advice: Winn was placed on the 15-day IL earlier this week with what was referred to at the time simply as right shoulder discomfort, but now the Rangers are classifying the injury as a shoulder sprain. It's not clear how long he might be out, but he won't be eligible for activation until late August. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago

    • Rangers activate Justin Foscue, send him to AAA
      Rangers activated INF Justin Foscue from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Round Rock.

      Advice: Foscue played in just two games for the Rangers in April before suffering an oblique strain. There’s no room for him on the roster now, but if he excels in Triple-A, perhaps he’ll get a look at DH or maybe even first base later. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
       
    • Activated and optioned
      The Rangers activated Foscue (oblique) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Round Rock.

      Advice: Foscue is fully recovered from the oblique strain that had kept him on the shelf since early April, but the Rangers will keep him at Round Rock, where he had been on a rehab assignment. The rookie infielder is 4-for-21 with one home run in seven games with Round Rock this season. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
       
    • Cole Winn moved to 60-day IL by Rangers
      Rangers transferred RHP Cole Winn from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list due to a right shoulder sprain.

      Advice: Winn complained of shoulder soreness after being sent down to Triple-A last week, causing the Rangers to void his option and put him on the major league IL. He’ll miss at least two months now. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago
