Marlins’ William Kempner To Undergo Elbow Surgery
Marlins manager Clayton McCullough announced Wednesday that righty William Kempner will undergo elbow surgery. Specifics weren’t provided, but Marlins.tv host Craig Mish suggested an absence of 12 to 14 months. If that’s indeed the case, it would likely point to a UCL-related procedure. In some instances, surgeons don’t know whether a full ligament reconstruction (Tommy […]

3:25pm: The Sox have now made these moves official. 12:15pm: The Red Sox are expected to designate righty Seth Martinez for assignment, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Mariners Claim Willie MacIver
The Mariners announced that they have claimed catcher Willie MacIver off waivers from the Blue Jays and sent him to Triple-A Tacoma. Toronto had designated him for assignment a few days ago.

2:10pm: The Blue Jays formally announced the waiver claim. In order to create a 40-man roster spot, they recalled injured righty Jake Bloss from Triple-A and placed him on the major league 60-day injured list. Bloss underwent UCL surgery last May.

A’s manager Mark Kotsay tells Martín Gallegos of MLB.com that the first baseman’s right thumb will be immobilized throughout August after he received a platelet-rich plasma injection last week. “Four weeks of no mobility. You probably can do the timeline and think through the scenarios in front […]

Rangers Select Jarred Kelenic, Designate Jonah Bride For Assignment
The Rangers announced that they have selected the contract of outfielder Jarred Kelenic. In a corresponding move, infielder Jonah Bride has been designated for assignment.

Tigers Select Tanner Rainey
The Tigers announced they have selected the contract of right-hander Tanner Rainey. He takes the active roster spot of left-hander Enmanuel De Jesus, who has been placed on the paternity list.
