    • Sent back to Triple-A
      The Rangers optioned Ornelas to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.

      Advice: Ornelas' stay with the big club lasted just two days, as he was sent back to Round Rock while the Rangers were in need of added pitching depth heading into Wednesday's doubleheader with the Athletics. The 23-year-old infielder appeared in one game during his time with the Rangers, going hitless in his lone at-bat. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
    • Exits game with tight hamstring
      Drury was removed from Wednesday's game against the Pirates due to left hamstring tightness.

      Advice: It's the same hamstring Drury initially hurt back in mid-April. He missed a few games with the injury at the time, but it would appear it might not have fully healed. The Angels should have more on Drury's condition following the completion of Wednesday's contest. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago

    • 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 8 minutes ago

    • Called up ahead of Wednesday's start
      The Rangers recalled Leiter from Triple-A Round Rock ahead of his scheduled start in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Athletics in Oakland.

      Advice: Texas is designating Leiter as the 27th man for the twin bill, but he won't necessarily be heading back to Round Rock after making his second start of the season for the big club Wednesday. The Rangers surprisingly placed Dane Dunning (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, meaning the team should have an opening in the rotation for a fifth starter heading into next week. Leiter was torched for seven runs in 3.2 innings in his MLB debut April 18 in Detroit, but he gets a favorable draw for his second start in a pitcher-friendly venue against a weak Oakland lineup.

    • 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 it would appear the conservative route didn't work. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago

    • Starting rehab assignment
      Diaz (calf) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Las Vegas this weekend, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Diaz ran the bases Wednesday, which was the final hurdle he needed to clear before playing in games. He's on the 60-day injured list and, thus, not eligible for activation until late May, so Diaz will be at Las Vegas for a while. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago

    • Moved to 60-day IL
      The Reds transferred Williamson (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

      Advice: The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Mike Ford. Williamson will begin a rehab assignment Thursday as he works his way back from a left shoulder strain, but he'll need some time to get ramped back up and now won't be eligible for activation until late May.

    • Sits in early game of twin bill
      Brown is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Rangers.

      Advice: Even with right-hander Michael Lorenzen taking the hill for Texas, the lefty-hitting Brown finds himself on the bench for the first game of the day. Brown has occupied a strong-side platoon role in the outfield this season, but his hold on a regular gig could be loosening while he's produced a career-worst .548 OPS while striking out 32 times in 103 plate appearances (31.1 percent) so far on the campaign. Esteury Ruiz will fill in for Brown in left field. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
