Felix Hernandez - S - Mariners

Felix Hernandez wasn't sharp Sunday, allowing six runs -- five earned -- over just five innings in a loss to the Indians.

King Kelix recorded eight strikeouts, but he allowed eight hits and walked a pair. The Mariners' ace left his last outing with a back issue, so it's possible it was an issue for him again today. As long as he's healthy, Hernandez is obviously a good bet to bounce back against the Rangers his next time out.

Michael Brantley - OF - Indians

Michael Brantley had an RBI single and a three-run homer in Sunday's win over the Mariners.

The longball came in the second inning off of Felix Hernandez. It's just the second homer of the season for Brantley, who was hitting third in the batting order. The outfielder has now driven in 19 while hitting .301 as he quietly puts together a nice season.

Ian Kinsler - 2B - Rangers

The Rangers could place Ian Kinsler (ribs) on the disabled list.

He will have to show that his sore ribs will allow him to swing a bat soon, otherwise the club will put him on the DL and call up Jurickson Profar. Kinsler was originally hurt last Tuesday when he was hit with a ball while stealing a base and aggravated the ailment Thursday while getting out of the way of a pitch.

Sergio Santos - R - Blue Jays

Blue Jays transferred RHP Sergio Santos from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

The move was made in order to clear room on the 40-man roster for Thad Weber. Santos will be out until after the All-Star break following surgery to remove bone chips and spurs from his right elbow.

Thad Weber - R - Blue Jays

Blue Jays claimed RHP Thad Weber off waivers from the Padres, optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo.

Alex Anthopoulos is at it again. Weber was designated for assignment by the Padres on Friday, but it didn't take him long to find a new home. He'll represent depth in the minors.
May 19 - 2:34 PM
Carlos Ruiz - C - Phillies

Carlos Ruiz left Sunday's game against the Reds with a right hamstring strain.

Ruiz hurt himself while running the bases. There's no word yet on the severity of the injury, but a trip to the disabled list would seem to be a distinct possibility. Humberto Quintero would take Ruiz's spot on the roster if a move needs to be made.

Bill Hall - DH - Angels

Angels released INF Bill Hall.

It's the second time they've released him in the last two months, as they cut Hall loose at the end of spring training before re-signing him a couple weeks later. The veteran utility player was batting just .164/.282/.233 over 21 games.

Carlos Ruiz - C - Phillies

Carlos Ruiz left Sunday's game with an apparent leg injury.

Ruiz slowed up and appeared to grab at his groin as he went from second to third base in the second inning. The Phillies should provide an update on his status shortly. Erik Kratz took his place behind the plate.
