Rangers optioned INF Ezequiel Duran to Triple-A Round Rock.

3 weeks ago

Duran heads to the minors with star outfielder Wyatt Langford returning from the injured list for Sunday’s showdown against the Dodgers. It’s notable that rookie outfielder Dustin Harris wasn’t the corresponding move here as it appears the Rangers want to get a longer look at him in the big leagues.

Luke Jackson (hand) played catch on Wednesday.

2 minutes ago

Rangers manager Bruce Bochy expressed optimism that Jackson will avoid a trip to the injured list and could potentially be ready to pitch again on Friday against the Astros. It’ll likely be Robert Garcia handling any save opportunities in the interim.

Ben Joyce underwent season-ending right shoulder surgery on Wednesday.

10 minutes ago

It’s a significant blow to Los Angeles’ razor-thin high-leverage depth behind veteran closer Kenley Jansen. The hard-throwing 24-year-old righty hit the injured list back in mid-April with right shoulder inflammation, so it qualifies as a massive surprise that he would up requiring a season-ending procedure. The track record for pitchers coming back from shoulder surgery is extremely checkered, to put it mildly, relative to other types of injuries. It could be a while before Joyce is back on a big-league mound for the Angels.

Marlins activated LHP Ryan Weathers from the 15-day injured list.

15 minutes ago

Weathers will make his season debut on Wednesday night against the Cubs at Wrigley Field after missing the opening six weeks of the year with a forearm strain. The 25-year-old southpaw put together a breakout campaign last year, recording a sparkling 3.63 ERA and 21.8 percent strikeout rate across 86 2/3 innings (16 starts). He should be rostered in all fantasy formats, especially since he looked extremely sharp in recent minor league rehab outings.

Marlins optioned LHP Anthony Veneziano to Triple-A Jacksonville.

16 minutes ago

Veneziano heads back to the minors to make room for Ryan Weathers to make his season debut on Wednesday night against the Cubs. The 27-year-old lefty has compiled a serviceable 4.86 ERA across 16 2/3 innings (20 appearances) this season for the Marlins.

Parker Meadows said Wednesday that he’s getting close to starting a minor league rehab assignment.

20 minutes ago

Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said Wednesday that Meadows will be re-evaluated and go through pre-game work before determining his next steps. The 25-year-old power/speed combo center fielder has been on the shelf since spring training working his way back from a nerve-related issue in his right upper arm. There isn’t a definitive timetable for his return, but it’s theoretically possible he’s ready to make his season debut at some point in June.

Rhys Hoskins went 4-for-4 with a homer, a double, five RBI and a walk in powering the Brewers past the Guardians 9-5 on Wednesday.

39 minutes ago

Hoskins was batting .182 and slugging .205 on this day a month ago. He’s since hit .349 with five homers, six doubles, 20 RBI and 13 walks in 26 games. He’s even stolen two bases. It looked like Hoskins might have been done as a mixed-league first baseman after his mediocre 2024, but he’s definitely worth playing now.
