  • Works 4.2 innings
    Silseth allowed five earned runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out two across 4.2 innings in a rehab outing with Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

    Advice: The surface stats aren't positive for Silseth, but he did build up to 92 total pitches. It was originally expected that he would be activated and slot back into the Angels' rotation Wednesday against the Athletics, though Sisleth has now allowed 14 earned runs across 12.1 frames with Salt Lake. Those results could cause Los Angeles to reassess his role in the short term, as he does have minor-league options remaining. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
     
  • Marcus Semien plates three runs to lead Rangers
    Marcus Semien delivered a bases-clearing three-run double in the sixth inning on Friday night, propelling the Rangers to a 6-2 victory over the visiting Royals.

    Advice: The Rangers had just taken the lead as Jonah Heim plated a run with a fielder’s choice. Semien then followed by smacking a two-out, three-run double off of Sammy Long to break the game wide open. It was the only hit of the game in four at-bats for Semien, but it proved to be the difference-maker. On the season, the 33-year-old infielder is now hitting .252/.319/.419 with 11 homers, 43 RBI and three stolen bases. Rotoworld Today, 7:50 pm
