  • Exits 40-man roster
    Bowman was designated for assignment by the Twins on Tuesday.

    Advice: Bowman loses his spot on the 26-man and 40-man rosters with the Twins needing to clear space for the return of Jhoan Duran. He pitched well in yielding just two runs with a 6:4 K:BB over 7.2 innings. The 32-year-old sinkerballer will now go through the waiver process. Rotowire.com Today, 11:10 am
     
  • Twins designate Matt Bowman for assignment
    Twins designated RHP Matt Bowman for assignment.

    Advice: The 32-year-old right-hander will hit waivers with the Twins activating Jhoan Duran from the injured list. Bowman made five appearances across 11 days and posted a solid 2.35 ERA and six strikeouts across 7 2/3 innings of work. It would be shocking if a team didn’t take a chance on the journeyman.

  • Continuing running progression
    Urshela (hamstring) will join the Tigers on their upcoming road trip as he continues his running progression, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: Urshela is also going through hitting and defensive drills on a daily basis as he ramps things back up. He's been out for the last week-and-a-half with a right hamstring strain but wouldn't appear far off from a rehab assignment. Rotowire.com Today, 11:06 am

  • Joins big club
    The Royals recalled Selby from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

    Advice: The right-hander was acquired from the Pirates in early April and will now receive his first look with the Royals. Selby appeared in 21 games (five starts) for Pittsburgh last season and had a 9.00 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 30:15 K:BB across 24 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 10:46 am
     
  • Activated from injured list
    The Tigers activated Ibanez (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: Ibanez wound up missing a little more than three weeks of action with a strained left hamstring. The utility player should see some starts for the Tigers against left-handed pitching. Rotowire.com Today, 10:45 am

  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Royals optioned Bowlan to Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

    Advice: The move comes a day after Bowlan lased just 2.2 innings in a start versus the Blue Jays, yielding four runs on six hits and three walks. Bowlan returns to Omaha, where he's posted a 2.57 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB across 21 frames this season. Rotowire.com Today, 10:43 am
     
  • Productive in win
    Langeliers went 1-for-2 with an RBI sacrifice fly, a double and a walk in a win over the Pirates on Monday.

    Advice: The struggling backstop experienced a rare taste of offensive success in Oakland's fourth win in the last five games. Langeliers is still sitting on a forgettable .172 average and .227 on-base percentage across 97 plate appearances. However, eight of his 15 hits have gone for extra bases and he has an acceptable 21.6 percent strikeout rate, offering some support for the notion that he'll be due for a turnaround once his atypically low .143 BABIP sees a boost.

  • On base thrice in win
    Bleday went 1-for-2 with a double and two walks in a win over the Pirates on Monday.

    Advice: Bleday, who opened the season as one of the Athletics' more consistent bats, had ironically been mired in a downturn during Oakland's recent improved stretch of play. Bleday entered Monday just 3-for-18 over the previous seven contests, but his three trips on the basepaths Tuesday represented a welcome uptick. Bleday also now has four two-baggers in the last six games, although he's now gone 24 games without a home run. Rotowire.com Today, 9:57 am
