  • Jettisoned from 40-man roster
    Armenteros was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Armenteros was a lauded signee out of Cuba back in 2016 but has struggled to hit with any consistency since entering the A's organization. In his first taste of Triple-A Las Vegas this season, the 24-year-old has slashed only .133/.278/.250 with a 51.4 percent strikeout rate. Armenteros' removal from the 40-man roster clears space for Tyler Ferguson. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
     
  • Twins send Josh Winder on rehab assignment
    Twins sent RHP Josh Winder (shoulder) on a rehab assignment to Triple-A St. Paul.

    Advice: Winder appears to be progressing nicely and could return to the Twins’ roster soon if all goes well with this rehab start. He had a rough go in his last rehab assignment with Single-A Fort Myers when he allowed four earned runs across 3 2/3 innings of work. He was able to strike out eight batters in that start, but the 27-year-old will need a better outing before he can return to the majors. Rotoworld Today, 8:58 am

  • Nationals designate Matt Barnes for assignment
    Nationals designated RHP Matt Barnes for assignment.

    Advice: Barnes signed a minor league deal with the Nationals at the beginning of the regular season. He impressed during spring training which gave him the opportunity to start the year with the active roster, but the 33-year-old has allowed 10 earned runs in 13 1/3 innings of work this season.

  • Nationals activate Robert Garcia from 15-day IL
    Nationals activated LHP Robert Garcia from the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Garcia returns to the Nats’ active roster after spending the last two weeks on the injured list with the flu. The 27-year-old has allowed six earned runs in 8 1/3 innings this season with a 13/4 K/BB ratio. Rotoworld Today, 8:17 am
     
  • Removed from 40-man roster
    Barnes was designated for assignment by the Nationals on Tuesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Barnes made the team as a non-roster invitee but didn't pitch well, posting a 6.75 ERA and 10:4 K:BB across 13.1 frames. The veteran reliever will likely clear waivers and could decline a potential outright assignment and elect free agency if he wants. Rotowire.com Today, 7:55 am
     
  • Activated from injured list
    The Nationals activated Garcia (illness) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Garcia was down for a couple weeks with the flu but is ready to roll now after making just one rehab appearance. The 27-year-old has allowed six runs but has struck out 13 over 8.1 relief innings with the Nats this season. Rotowire.com Today, 7:51 am
     
  • Slugs second homer
    Pham went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Monday against the Rays.

    Advice: Pham was the only source of offense for Chicago when he took Tyler Alexander deep for his second home run of the season. Since joining the White Sox on April 26, Pham has regularly hit second in the order and has at least one knock in seven of his 10 games. Rotowire.com Today, 7:44 am
     
  • Earns win in long relief
    Ramirez (2-0) walked one and struck out one across three scoreless innings to earn the win Monday against the White Sox.

    Advice: Ramirez followed starter Tyler Alexander into the game in the fifth inning and turned in his second consecutive scoreless appearance. Ramirez has worked primarily in long relief since being recalled to the Rays on April 21, as he's completed at least two frames in four of his six outings. Despite limited strikeout upside -- he has eight punchouts across 11.1 innings of work -- he could be in position to earn more wins than a traditional reliever. Rotowire.com Today, 7:40 am
     
  • Rays send Pete Fairbanks on rehab assignment
    Rays send RHP Pete Fairbanks (nerve issue) on a rehab assignment to Triple-A Durham.

    Advice: Fairbanks has been sidelined since April 22 after he was placed on the injured list due to a nerve-related condition. He’ll get his first rehab start in Durham since being sidelined and if everything goes to plan, the 30-year-old hurler should be back with Tampa Bay in the next week or so. Rotoworld Today, 7:37 am
