    Garcia (illness) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A Fredericksburg on Saturday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

  • Available Friday
    Manager Brandon Hyde said Kimbrel (back) is available as the Orioles' closer Friday in Cincinnati, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.comreports.

  • Rays designate Colby White for assignment
    Rays designated RHP Colby White for assignment.

    Advice: The 24-year-old right-hander had a miserable showing this season at the Triple-A level with a 17.61 ERA across 7 2/3 innings.
