Taveras is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Milwaukee.
Advice: Derek Hill was called up from Triple-A Round Rock prior to Wednesday's game and will be put to work right away, stepping in as the Rangers' starter in center field for the resting Taveras. After falling into an extended slump at the plate through the first half of June, Taveras seems to have righted the ship of late with six hits -- including a home run -- and two stolen bases in 21 at-bats over his last seven games.

Jake Fraley was scratched from Wednesday’s lineup because of a lower leg contusion.
Advice: We assume that makes him day-to-day. Levi Jordan has replaced him in the Reds outfield for the game against the Pirates. Rotoworld37 minutes ago
Rangers select Derek Hill’s contract from Triple-A
Rangers selected the contract of OF Derek Hill from Triple-A Round Rock.
Advice: Hill’s first stint with the Rangers ended prematurely earlier this month because the team wanted to add an infielder due to Corey Seager being banged up. He’ll get another look as a reserve outfielder now. The former first-round pick was hitting .350/.415/.631 with eight homers and seven steals in 42 games for Round Rock. He was 2-for-9 in 2 1/2 weeks with the Rangers before being dropped June 7. Rotoworld48 minutes ago
The Rangers designated Rodriguez for assignment Wednesday.
Advice: Rodriguez was the add man out after the Rangers needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster. He turned in 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.com50 minutes ago
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.

The Rangers transferred Winn (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.
Advice: Winn was placed on the 15-day IL earlier this week with what was referred to as right shoulder discomfort, but the Rangers are now 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.com53 minutes ago
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. Rotoworld54 minutes ago
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.com55 minutes ago
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. Rotoworld57 minutes ago
