Rule 5 Draft pick Chris McGuiness has been returned to the Rangers.

The Indians will keep $25,000 -- or half of the $50,000 it took to draft him in December. McGuiness, 24, batted .268/.366/.474 with 23 homers at the Double-A level last season. The Rangers are surely glad to have him back. Mar 27 - 5:35 PM

Chris McGuiness - 1B - Rangers

MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports that Rule 5 pick Chris McGuiness will not make the Indians' Opening Day roster, but the club would like to work out a trade with the Rangers in order to keep him.

McGuiness is batting just .195/.267/.244 for the Tribe this spring, but obviously they see something they like in the 24-year-old. He batted .268/.366/.474 with 23 homers at the Double-A level last season.

Chris McGuiness - 1B - Rangers

Chris McGuiness will get some work in the outfield this spring due to the Indians' depth at first base.

The 24-year-old was a Rule 5 pick in December after hitting .268/.366/.474 for the Rangers' Double-A affiliate in 2012. McGuiness has a chance to make the Indians' Opening Day roster as a bench bat, and increasing his versatility will only help that cause.

Chris McGuiness - 1B - Rangers

Indians selected 1B Chris McGuiness from the Rangers with the fifth pick in Thursday's Rule 5 Draft.

McGuiness batted .268/.366/.474 with 23 home runs and 77 RBI in 123 games this summer for Double-A Frisco. The 24-year-old could be a bench bat in Cleveland.

Chris McGuiness - 1B - Rangers

Chris McGuiness was named as the Arizona Fall League's 2012 MVP on Saturday after hitting .288 with four homers and a league-high 27 RBI.

The Rangers first base prospect, acquired in the 2010 deal for Jarrod Saltalamacchia, also played exceptional defense throughout the fall league schedule. The 24-year-old McGuiness hit .268/.366/.474 with 23 homers and 77 RBI for Double-A Frisco in 2012.

Chris McGuiness - 1B - Rangers

Rangers acquired 1B Chris McGuinness, RHP Roman Mendez, a player to be named later and cash from the Red Sox for catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia.

This trade appeared to be more of Texas losing faith in Saltalamacchia than getting knocked over by an offer. McGuiness, 22, hit .298 with 12 homers and 46 RBI in 282 at-bats for Class-A Greenville. He was a 13th-round pick in the 2009 draft.

Pos	Role	Name
C	1	A.J. Pierzynski D.L. A.J. Pierzynski (oblique) is expected to play rehab games on Sunday and Monday. It's not known which minor league affiliate he'll play with, but it should be enough to ensure he'll be activated on Tuesday. The 36-year-old backstop has been sidelined since May 5 with a strained right oblique. May 16

	3	Robinson Chirinos
1B	1	Mitch Moreland
2B	1	Ian Kinsler D.L. Rangers placed 2B Ian Kinsler on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 18, with an intercostal strain. Kinsler hasn't started the last two games with rib soreness and said he still felt discomfort during batting practice on Sunday. The Rangers aren't overly concerned about the injury, but top prospect Jurickson Profar will be called up to replace Kinsler on the active roster. Kinsler is batting .302/.369/.500 with seven home runs through his first 40 games this season. May 19

Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Matt Harrison D.L. Matt Harrison recently had a setback with his back that required an additional surgery on Wednesday. Harrison underwent an operation on April 23 to repair a herniated disk in his lower back but began feeling additional discomfort this week, necessitating another procedure. According to T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com, the Rangers are "operating under the assumption that Harrison will pitch again this season, but he will be out for at least three months." In other words, we won't see him again until August at the earliest, and it seems like there's a good chance it will be longer than that. May 1
	2	Yu Darvish
	3	Derek Holland
	4	Alexi Ogando D.L. Alexi Ogando (biceps) underwent an MRI which revealed no structural damage. Ogando was placed on the disabled list on Thursday with biceps tendinitis after he felt some pain during Wednesday's start against the Athletics. It's an encouraging sign that no more serious damage was found, and his stay on the DL should be a short one. Josh Lindblom is expected to hold his place in the rotation while he's sidelined. May 17
	5	Nick Tepesch
	6	Justin Grimm
	7	Colby Lewis D.L. Colby Lewis (elbow) is expected to rejoin the Rangers' rotation in the first week of June. After dealing with a minor bout of triceps tendinitis, Lewis will resume his rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco on Monday. He'll need two additional outings after that before being activated. The right-hander is a nice roster stash in fantasy leagues if you have room. May 17
	8	Neftali Feliz D.L. Neftali Feliz (elbow) is long-tossing at 120 feet. Feliz's rehab from Tommy John surgery is going fine, although it's not yet been announced when he'll be ready to throw off a mound. We expect him to return to a major league mound late in the summer. May 19
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Joe Nathan
	2	Joakim Soria D.L. Joakim Soria (elbow) will be shut down for 2-3 weeks with a strained pectoral muscle and is now not expected to return until around July 1. A tough break for the Rangers, as Soria had been slated to join the Rangers' bullpen as soon as late next month. The good news is that his surgically-repaired elbow is fine. The Rangers will continue to use a host of players to set up for Joe Nathan. Apr 22
	3	Tanner Scheppers
	4	Robbie Ross
	5	Jason Frasor
	6	Michael Kirkman
	7	Joseph Ortiz
	8	Derek Lowe
	9	Cory Burns
	10	Justin Miller D.L. Justin Miller (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Friday. Miller is working his way back from Tommy John surgery. He'll need plenty of rehab time but could be a relief option for the Rangers next month. May 16
