  • Athletics option Dany Jiménez to Triple-A
    Athletics optioned RHP Dany Jiménez to Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Advice: The 30-year-old reliever will head down to the minors after making 15 appearances with the Athletics where he posted a 3.68 ERA, 1.50 WHIP with a 11/13 K/BB ratio across 14 2/3 innings. Jiménez is 0-for-2 with his save opportunities this season, which is something that may have been a factor in the organization’s decision to send him down to the minors.

  • Resuming mound work
    Bachman (shoulder) is scheduled to throw off a mound Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Bachman underwent shoulder surgery last October and had his rehab halted by back spasms in late April. However, the back issue appears to have subsided, allowing the right-hander to resume working toward a return to game action. Bachman is likely to need a multi-week rehab assignment in the minors before the Angels consider bringing him up to the big-league club. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
     
  • Pitches well in rehab start
    Megill (shoulder) struck out seven over four scoreless innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Advice: Megill didn't give up a hit, walked one and threw 62 pitches over his four frames. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza had indicated previously that it could be Megill's last rehab start, and he certainly looks to have passed the test. However, whether he'll go back into the Mets' rotation or remain at Syracuse has not yet been determined. The Mets could use a six-man rotation for a while, or Megill could potentially replace Jose Butto, who is starting Tuesday for the big club. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
     
  • Sent to minors
    The Athletics optioned Jimenez to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

    Advice: The right-hander began the season in a high-leverage role and didn't give up an earned run in his first five appearances, but he has a 5.40 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 9:8 K:BB over his past 10 innings. Six of those walks came in Jimenez's past four outings, and he'll head to Triple-A to work on his command. Rotowire.com 52 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

    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
