Chris Martin - R - Rangers

Chris Martin (calf) will likely be activated off the disabled list on Friday.

Martin suffered a mild right calf strain when he tripped on the bullpen gate while rushing out to the field during the Rangers' June 13 benches-clearing fracas with the Dodgers. The 32-year-old right-hander holds a 3.92 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 18/3 K/BB ratio in 20 2/3 innings this season.

Ricardo Rodriguez - R - Rangers

Rangers optioned RHP Ricardo Rodriguez to Triple-A Round Rock.

This will likely clear the way for Chris Martin's return from the disabled list. Rodriguez didn't see any action during his short stay at the major league level.

Michael Saunders - OF - White Sox

White Sox released OF Michael Saunders.

Saunders had batted just .152/.235/.239 through 51 plate appearances at Triple-A Charlotte. He was named an American League All-Star as a member of the Blue Jays in 2016, but the 31-year-old outfielder had a miserable showing in 2017 and is now without a team.

Eduardo Escobar - 3B - Twins

Eduardo Escobar was removed from Thursday's game against the Red Sox due to an apparent injury.

Escobar got hit in the right elbow by a high-and-tight pitch from Rick Porcello in the bottom of the first inning. He remained in the game until the top of the fourth, when Taylor Motter entered to play third base. It wouldn't seem to be anything too serious.

Eloy Jimenez - OF - White Sox

White Sox OF prospect Eloy Jimenez has been promoted from Double-A Birmingham to Triple-A Charlotte.

Jimenez tore up the Southern League to the tune of a .317/.368/.556 batting line with 10 home runs, 15 doubles, and 42 RBI in 53 games. The 21-year-old outfielder is one of the top prospects in all of baseball and could very well make his major league debut later this season -- maybe after the rebuilding White Sox sell off some parts ahead of the July 31 trade deadline.

Wil Myers - OF - Padres

Padres activated OF Wil Myers from the 10-day disabled list.

Myers will return to the Padres' starting lineup on Thursday night against Giants left-hander Madison Bumgarner after missing nearly two months with a strained oblique. The 27-year-old also sat out for much of April with an arm issue. He batted .300 with a .900 OPS on his five-game minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A El Paso and is safe for immediate activation in fantasy leagues.

Franmil Reyes - OF - Padres

Padres optioned OF Franmil Reyes to Triple-A El Paso.

The move clears a 25-man roster spot for Wil Myers, who has been activated off the disabled list ahead of Thursday night's series opener against the Giants. Reyes showed off his big-time raw power in his five-week stay at the major league level, slugging six home runs in 29 games, but he batted just .228 with a .260 on-base percentage.
Jun 21 - 1:27 PM
Yoenis Cespedes - OF - Mets

Yoenis Cespedes (hip, quad) is hoping to progress to running drills in the next few days.

That's what Mets manager Mickey Callaway relayed to reporters on Thursday afternoon. Cespedes landed on the disabled list in mid-May with a right hip injury and then experienced tightness in his right quad earlier this month after embarking on a minor league rehab assignment. He could be ready to return in early-to-mid July if he's able to avoid further setbacks.
