Steven Okert - R - Giants

Giants optioned LHP Steven Okert to Triple-A Sacramento.

The 25-year-old southpaw has struggled out of the Giants' bullpen this season, registering a 6.23 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 7/6 K/BB ratio across 13 innings of work. He'll try to get back on track in the minors.

Aaron Hill - OF - Giants

Giants activated INF Aaron Hill from the 10-day disabled list.

Hill has been sidelined since late April due to a strained right forearm. He'll resume his utility role with the Giants where he was hitting .120/.241/.240 in 29 plate appearances before landing on the disabled list.
May 26 - 6:51 PM
Ubaldo Jimenez - S - Orioles

Alec Asher is scheduled to start for the Orioles on Sunday instead of Ubaldo Jimenez.

While there has been no official announcement from the team yet, it's safe to assume that the veteran right-hander has been bumped from the O's starting rotation, as Sunday had been his scheduled day to pitch. He owns a cringe-worthy 7.11 ERA and 32/25 K/BB ratio through 42 2/3 innings on the season.

Jose Leclerc - R - Rangers

Jose Leclerc (finger) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Sunday.

He's expected to make two appearances before then likely rejoining the Rangers' bullpen. Leclerc posted a 2.31 ERA and 18 strikeouts through 11 2/3 innings before going down with a finger injury earlier this month.

Carter Capps - R - Padres

Carter Capps (elbow) could face hitters early next week.

It would be the first time he's done so since he was pulled from his rehab assignment in order to work on his command and mechanics. Obviously, a potential return date for Capps is completely up in the air still.

Manny Pina - C - Brewers

Manny Pina (elbow) is available off the Brewers' bench Friday.

Pina exited Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks after being hit on the left elbow by a pitch, but he escaped with a bruise and is feeling much better. He'll probably get a start on Saturday.

Alec Asher - R - Orioles

Alec Asher will start for the Orioles on Sunday in Houston.

It's unclear whether it's just a spot start or whether he's auditioning for a longer look. Asher has been terrific out of the Orioles' bullpen with a 2.17 ERA and 22/7 K/BB ratio over 29 innings. While it would take him a bit to get stretched back out, Asher has been a starter almost exclusively throughout his pro career so it shouldn't take long. It was Ubaldo Jimenez's turn Sunday, so he could be headed to the bullpen.

Phil Hughes - S - Twins

Tests have ruled out the possibility that Phil Hughes (biceps) could have thoracic outlet syndrome.

He could receive a second opinion. To this point, Hughes has merely been diagnosed with right biceps tendinitis, but there seems to be a feeling that there might be more going on.
