Robinson Tejeda - R - Indians

Indians released RHP Robinson Tejeda.

Tejeda, who joined the Indians on a minor league deal in January, gave up two runs on three hits in one inning in his lone appearance with Triple-A Columbus back on April 7. He is currently nursing a shoulder injury.

Chris Parmelee - 1B - Twins

Twins optioned 1B Chris Parmelee to Triple-A Rochester.

He was cleared to make room for Justin Morneau's return from the disabled list. Parmelee was given a shot at the starting first base job following a hot September last year, but he has disappointed to the tune of a .179/.250/.262 batting line to go along with zero homers over 92 plate appearances.

Justin Morneau - DH - Twins

Twins activated 1B Justin Morneau from the 15-day disabled list.

Morneau spent the minimum 15 days on the disabled list while nursing soreness in his surgically-repaired right wrist. He is expected to play first base upon his return. The 31-year-old owns a .230/.313/.459 batting line to go along with four home runs and nine RBI over 83 plate appearances this season.

Kyle Hudson - OF - Phillies

Phillies acquired OF Kyle Hudson from the Rays for OF Rich Thompson.

Hudson, who was swapped from the Rangers to the Rays at the end of spring training, was hitting .291/.378/.318 with eight RBI, seven stolen bases and a .696 OPS over his first 33 games with Triple-A Durham. While the 25-year-old knows how to draw a walk and can steal some bases, he has never hit a home run as a professional. He'll likely serve as outfield depth at the Triple-A level.

Rich Thompson - OF - Rays

Rays acquired OF Rich Thompson from the Phillies for OF Kyle Hudson.

Thompson, 33, was hitting .307/.390/.398 with 11 RBI, seven stolen bases and a .788 OPS over his first 29 games with Triple-A Lehigh Valley this season. He hasn't played in the big leagues since 2004 as a member of the Royals and will continue to serve as minor league depth with his new organization.

Chris Young - S - Mets

Chris Young (shoulder) gave up three runs over 5 2/3 innings Wednesday in his second start with High-A St. Lucie.

Young gave up seven hits while striking out two and walking none. He should make his next start with Triple-A Buffalo and could join the Mets' rotation by early-to-mid June. Of course, given his lengthy injury history, he can't be counted on to stay healthy.

Brandon Hamilton - S - Tigers

Tigers released RHP Brandon Hamilton.

Hamilton, a supplemental first-round pick in 2007, hasn't pitched since 2009 with Class A West Michigan due to personal issues. Now 23 years old, it's not clear if he plans to continue his career elsewhere.

Peter Moylan - R - Braves

Peter Moylan will throw a bullpen session next Tuesday for the first time since shoulder surgery in October.

Moylan has been limited to long-tossing until now, but reports that his shoulder feels "amazing." There's no specific timetable for his return.
