  • Shutting down for weekend
    Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Saturday that Jung (wrist) will be shut down for the weekend before he resumes taking live batting practice Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Bochy noted that Jung has experienced residual soreness in his surgically repaired right wrist since he rejoined the club Friday, but the Rangers don't seem to view it as a setback and simply opted to have him rest up over the weekend. Jung could be activated from the 60-day injured list later this week if his wrist responds well to Tuesday's live BP session. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:24 am

  • Tyler Soderstrom hits solo homer in blowout loss
    Tyler Soderstrom hit a solo homer in a blowout loss to the Twins on Saturday.

    Advice: Even in a blowout loss, Soderstrom was able to impress as he has for the overwhelming majority of June. What was a slash of .182/.308/.318 coming into the month now sits at .250/.353/.480, and the blast was his sixth homer of the season. Soderstrom was a first-round pick for a reason, and he deserves some attention from those who need help at the corner-infield spot. Rotoworld Saturday, 3:43 pm
     
  • Inching toward rehab assignment
    Garcia (elbow) threw a live bullpen session Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Manager Joe Espada said Saturday that Garcia will begin a minor-league rehab assignment if the right-hander responds well to Saturday's session. Garcia is in the latter stages of his recovery from Tommy John surgery in May of 2023. In his last full season in 2022 with the Astros, Garcia went 15-8 over 28 starts with a 3.72 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 157:47 K:BB across 157.1 innings. Rotowire.com Saturday, 12:15 pm

  • Gregory Santos (lat) faces hitters on Saturday
    Gregory Santos (lat) faced hitters on Saturday in a live batting practice session.

    Advice: Santos continues to progress towards making his Seattle debut after a spring training lat issue put him on the shelf to open the year. There’s a chance he’s ready to bolster the Mariners’ high-leverage relief mix at some point in a couple weeks, barring any setbacks. Rotoworld Saturday, 12:12 pm
     
  • Josh Jung (wrist) to take batting practice Tuesday
    Rangers manager Bruce Bochy told reporters Josh Jung (wrist) will take batting practice on Tuesday to determine whether he’s ready to return.

    Advice: Jung has been dealing with some minor soreness in his surgically-repaired wrist, which isn’t uncommon at this stage of his rehabilitation process. He’ll take batting practice early next week to determine whether he’s ready to return or needs some additional time in the minor leagues. Rotoworld Saturday, 11:37 am

  • Increases activities Friday
    Rendon (hamstring) took grounders, hit and ran Friday, per MLB.com.

    Advice: Rendon continues to ramp up as he attempts to return to action after being diagnosed with a high-grade partial tear of his left hamstring in late April. The veteran third baseman's next step in his rehab is expected to include cutting while running as part of his agility drills. If Rendon continues to make progress, he could be activated from the injured list in early-to-mid July. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:26 am

  • Lands on IL
    The Diamondbacks placed Moreno on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a sprained left thumb, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Advice: Moreno's X-rays came back negative after he exited Friday's game due to his injured thumb, but the damage seems to still be severe enough to warrant keeping him out for the next 10 days. While he recovers, Tucker Barnhart will take over as Arizona's primary catcher and Jose Herrera will come up from Triple-A Reno to provide additional depth at catcher. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:23 am

  • Aiming for return Monday
    Jung (wrist) told reporters Saturday that he believes he could return to the Rangers on Monday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

    Advice: Jung noted that his wrist still feels stiff when swinging the bat, and that his return is still under discussion.
