  • Rangers promote INF Jonathan Ornelas
    Rangers recalled INF Jonathan Ornelas from Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: The 23-year-old is hitting .278 in 97 plate appearances at Triple-A Round Rock with two home runs, 10 runs, and 11 RBI. He got a brief chance in Texas last season when Josh Jung went down, but he hit just .143. He figures to just be a depth piece in the short-term. Rotoworld 9 minutes ago
     
  • Heads to bench in Lowe's return
    Palacios is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Palacios has served as a strong-side platoon player in right field for much of the season, but his opportunities in the outfield could be more scarce moving forward with Josh Lowe (hamstring) coming off the 10-day injured list Monday after Jonny DeLuca was activated just three days earlier. Perhaps in preparation to the incoming logjam in the outfield, Palacios has been given more exposure to second base, where he started both of the past two games. He could end up forming a platoon at that spot with the right-handed-hitting Amed Rosario, though it'll be Rosario who gets the starting nod Monday versus White Sox righty Mike Clevinger. Palacios has been one of the better-performing hitters for the Rays this season, posting an .87O OPS while going 5-for-5 in stolen-base attempts across his 95 plate appearances.

  • Hits bench for series opener
    Siri is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: While starting both of the Rays' last two games after serving a two-game suspension, Siri went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts and committed an error. With his average now sitting at .176 through 31 games this season and with his defense grading out poorly compared to the previous two years, Siri's standing atop the depth chart in center field could be on shaky ground. Jonny DeLuca will draw the start in center Monday after previously manning right field alongside Siri the past two days. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Promoted to majors
    The Rangers recalled Ornelas from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

    Advice: He's taking the roster spot vacated by Wyatt Langford (hamstring). Ornelas, 23, has posted a .720 OPS with two home runs and one stolen base at Round Rock this season. He's capable of handling most positions but is unlikely to see much playing time for the Rangers. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Rangers place Wyatt Langford on IL
    Rangers placed OF Wyatt Langford (hamstring) on 10-day IL.

    Advice: The 22-year-old is hitting .224/.295/.293 in 129 plate appearances with one home run, 13 runs, 11 RBI, and one steal. He’s striking out only 22 percent of the time with a 7 percent swinging strike rate so there isn’t any major glaring concern; however, the results simply haven’t been there. The team has said Langford could miss a month and there’s no guarantee that the Rangers will activate him immediately when he is healthy enough to play. The Rangers could allow him to have an extended rehab to help him correct any issues before putting him back in the MLB lineup. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago
     
  • Officially lands on IL
    The Rangers placed Langford (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Monday.

    Advice: Just as manager Bruce Bochy said would be the case following Sunday's 3-2 win over the Royals, Langford was deactivated due to a right hamstring strain that's expected to sideline the rookie for around 3-to-4 weeks. Texas called up infielder Jonathan Ornelas from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
     
  • Scratched from lineup
    Rengifo was scratched from the lineup for Monday's game in Pittsburgh, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: He had been set to return following a two-game absence due to illness. Fletcher relays that Rengifo is no longer ill, but it's not clear yet why he was removed from the lineup. Brandon Drury was added to the lineup as Rengifo's replacement at second base. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago

  • Added to Monday's lineup
    Drury will start at second base and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Pirates, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Drury was initially slated to receive the day off, but he'll end up handling his usual role as the starting second baseman after Luis Rengifo (illness) was scratched. The 31-year-old Drury heads into Monday's contest in a 2-for-31 funk at the plate over his last 10 games. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
     
  • Luis Rengifo scratched on Monday
    Luis Rengifo was scratched from the Angels lineup on Monday.

    Advice: Rengifo was originally penciled in at second base and hitting sixth in the order. However, he has been replaced by Brandon Drury. According to Jeff Fletcher of the SoCal News Group, Rengifo is no longer sick, so we’ll have to wait and hear the reason for him being replaced. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
