    The Rangers recalled White from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.

    Advice: White will offer the Rangers some length out of the bullpen for Wednesday's doubleheader in Oakland. If White ends up being needed for multiple innings in relief Wednesday, he could be swapped off the 26-man active roster for another fresh arm heading into the Rangers' weekend series in Colorado. White has made five starts for Round Rock this season, accruing a 5.70 ERA and 1.64 WHIP over 23.2 innings. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago

  • Goes on IL with rotator cuff strain
    The Rangers placed Dunning (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list with a right rotator cuff strain.

    Advice: The roster move is retroactive to Sunday, one day after Dunning made his seventh start of the season while taking a no-decision against the Royals. The Rangers haven't indicated that Dunning sustained the injury at any point during that outing, but the right-hander's shoulder was evidently bothersome coming out of that start. Dunning is without a precise target date to return from the IL, though manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday that the 29-year-old isn't expected to have an especially lengthy stay on the shelf. While Dunning joins Nathan Eovaldi (groin), Max Scherzer (back), Cory Bradford (ribs), Jacob deGrom (elbow) and Tyler Mahle (elbow) on the shelf, the Rangers should have back-end rotation spots available for both Jose Urena and Jack Leiter.

  • Visit with Dr. ElAttrache scheduled
    Waldichuk (elbow) will visit with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Waldichuk recently had a setback while throwing a live batting practice session. He was diagnosed last October with a UCL sprain and flexor strain but chose a more conservative Tenex procedure to remove scar tissue and help alleviate pain. More will be known after Monday's exam, but his upcoming meeting with Dr. ElAttrache would seem to suggest that Waldichuk's treatment plan hasn't panned out as anticipated.

  • Picks up 12th save
    Finnegan struck out one batter during a perfect ninth inning to pick up the save Tuesday against Baltimore.

    Advice: Finnegan has been one of the most reliable closers in the big leagues this season, and he now leads the majors after picking up his 12th save Tuesday. The 32-year-old right-hander owns a 1.76 ERA and 0.85 WHIP, and he's struck out 15 batters across 15.1 innings on the year. Rotowire.com Today, 11:02 am
     
  • Rangers place Dane Dunning (shoulder) on IL
    According to Rangers manager Bruce Bochy, Dane Dunning is headed to the injured list with a shoulder issue.

    Advice: Wow. Dunning was scheduled to pitch against the Rockies on Friday, but now he’ll be sidelined for at least the next two weeks. The 29-year-old has posted a 4.10 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 43/17 K/BB ratio across 37 1/3 innings this season. Rotoworld Today, 11:00 am

  • Bound for IL with shoulder injury
    Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday that Dunning will be placed on the 15-day injured list with a shoulder issue, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: It's not clear at this point how or when Dunning was hurt, nor have the Rangers offered up a timetable for his return. With Nathan Eovaldi (groin) also hitting the IL recently, the Rangers could need Jose Urena and Jack Leiter to remain in the rotation for multiple turns. Dunning has collected a 4.10 ERA and 43:17 K:BB over 37.1 frames covering seven starts this season. Rotowire.com Today, 10:59 am

  • Yankees send Tommy Kahnle on rehab assignment
    Yankees sent RHP Tommy Kahnle (shoulder) on a rehab assignment to Single-A Tampa.

    Advice: The 34-year-old will get his first rehab appearance since being placed on the 15-day injured list at the start of the season. Kahnle had his throwing program slowed down at the beginning of April, so he is a bit behind schedule, but he’ll likely need a few rehab stints before he’s back in pinstripes.

  • On track to return Friday
    Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Wednesday that Marsh (elbow) remains on track to return from the 15-day injured list to start Friday versus the Angels, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Marsh was terrific in his lone rehab start with Triple-A Omaha on Sunday, striking out six over four shutout innings. The right-hander threw only 53 pitches in the outing, so he could be limited a bit from a workload perspective against the Angels. Marsh has missed the last couple weeks with a bruised right elbow.
