    Rangers OF Jarred Kelenic elected free agency.

    Kelenic passed through waivers unclaimed after going 1-for-8 during a seven-game stint with Texas. The 26-year-old was one of the more promising prospects in the game just a couple years ago, but has yet to find sustained success at the major-league level. He’ll likely continue to get opportunities as a reclamation project, but it’s becoming increasingly difficult to envision him developing into an impact fantasy contributor at this stage.

Rafael Devers was placed on the 60-day injured list with a core muscle injury, ending the Giants slugger's season early in the middle of an offensive tear.

    Kelenic heads to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as organizational depth for the final month of the season. It would be extremely surprising if he wound up making it to New York given their present outfield depth that doesn’t include Aaron Judge (rib) coming back from the injured list. The 27-year-old former top prospect has hit .219 (16-for-73) with one homer and six RBI in 36 games between the Rangers and White Sox this season.

    Kelenic passed through waivers unclaimed after being removed from Texas’ 40-man roster over the weekend. The 27-year-old former top prospect has hit .219 (16-for-73) with one homer and six RBI in 36 games between the Rangers and White Sox this season.
  • TEX Right Fielder #25
    This is the third time that the Rangers have DFA’d the former top prospect. Each previous time he has returned on a minor league contract and eventually earned another chance with the Rangers. It’s possible that happens again this time around, though his days of fantasy relevancy are in the rearview mirror.
  • TEX Right Fielder #25
    Kelenic returns for another stint with the Rangers after re-signing with the club back in late July. The 27-year-old hit .213 (13-for-61) with one homer in 26 games between the Rangers and White Sox earlier this season.
  • TEX Right Fielder #25
    There must be something about the Rangers that keeps bringing Kelenic back. The 27-year-old former elite prospect hit the open market to gauge his options earlier this week before deciding to head back to Triple-A Round Rock. Apparently, no other teams were interested.
  • FA Right Fielder #25
    This isn’t performance related, as the 27-year-old Kelenic was hitting .404/.469/.684 for Triple-A Round Rock this month. So, he must be receiving interest from another major league team or perhaps a club in Asia. Kelenic hit .213/.304/.295 in 69 plate appearances for the White Sox and Rangers in major league stints earlier this season.
  • TEX Right Fielder #25
    After electing free agency earlier in the week, Kelenic is back with the Rangers on a minor league deal. He’ll report back to Triple-A Round Rock where he’ll continue to function as extra outfield depth for the Rangers until another need arises in Arlington.
  • TEX Right Fielder #25
    Kelenic’s stint with the Rangers wound up lasting just over one week where he finished 1-for-8 at the dish across seven games. The 26-year-old former top prospect figures to pass through waivers unclaimed and will likely wind up electing free agency to pursue opportunities elsewhere.
  • TEX Right Fielder #24
    Kelenic was signed to a minor league contract on July 1 after he slashed a miserable .226/.305/.321 with 20 strikeouts in 59 plate appearances with the White Sox. He’ll see most of his action against right-handed pitching for the Rangers.
  • TEX Right Fielder #24
    Kelenic was cut by the Rangers last week after hitting .226/.305/.321 and striking out 20 times in 59 plate appearances. That’s obviously not very impressive, but it’s interesting that he did have eight barrels and a 55 percent hard-hit rate. Statcast gave him an xSLG of .526. He’ll head to Triple-A for now, but he could see time in the Texas outfield later.

    Braves re-signed RHP Elieser Hernández to a minor league contract.

    Color us shocked. The 31-year-old has been designated for assignment and re-signed a few times now, and the dance will likely continue through the end of the season.

    Braves designated LHP Bailey Falter for assignment.

    Falter threw 3 1/3 shutout innings for the Braves, allowing just two hits and striking out two batters. We anticipate that this is simply a move to bring a fresh arm up into their bullpen, and Falter could quickly be re-signed to a minor league contract.

    Braves recalled RHP Owen Murphy from Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Murphy has been recalled to fill a role out of the bullpen. The 22-year-old has a 1.29 ERA over his last five starts at Triple-A, but he is off the fantasy radar as a reliever.

    Maikel Garcia (hamstring) went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base for Triple-A Omaha on Sunday.

    Garcia played most of the game at third base, and obviously, the stolen base is a good sign for the health of his hamstring. There is no indication yet of when Garcia might return to the Royals’ lineup, but it seems possible that it could be this week.

    Red Sox INF prospect Franklin Arias went 2-for-5 with a home run for Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

    Arias is now hitting .333/.392/.510 with five home runs, 32 RBI, and three steals in 37 games at Triple-A. Trevor Story has gone 18-for-53 (.340) since coming off the injured list and Romy Gonzalez is also hitting the ball really well since being sent to Triple-A, so there is less of a path for Arias to get at-bats this season in Boston.

    Mets promoted INF prospect Jefferson Rojas to Triple-A Syracuse.

    Rojas came over from the Cubs at the trade deadline for Clay Holmes and Tyrone Taylor. The 21-year-old was tremendous for Double-A Binghamton, slashing .280/.336/.593 with nine home runs, 29 RBI, and three steals in 29 games. In his time with the Mets, he has started 10 games at third base, eight games at shortstop, and six games at second base, so the Mets are going continue to move him around to see where his easiest path is to big league at-bats.

    Nationals promoted RHP prospect Jarlin Susana to Triple-A Rochester.

    Susana has been making his way back from last September’s lat surgery and has pitched just 17 2/3 innings this year. He has a 5.09 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in those innings, but he also has a 43.6 percent strikeout-to-walk ratio and struck out 21 batters in 11 1/3 innings at Double-A. The 22-year-old may not officially be a reliever long-term, but he will continue to work out of the bullpen in Triple-A while the team gets him consistent innings to end the season.

    Manager Tony Vitello said after Sunday’s game that Logan Webb could be shut down for the final two weeks.

    First, they’ll have a conversation. Webb gave up six runs to the Padres in Sunday night’s loss to fall to 8-9 with a 4.31 ERA. He’s currently slated to face the Dodgers on Saturday.

    Fernando Tatis Jr. went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a steal as the Padres defeated the Giants 6-4 on Sunday Night Baseball.

    Tatis’s singles were hit 105, 111 and 103 mph. The steal was his 35th in 48 tries. He’s already exceeded his previous career high of 32 from last year. He is hitting .395 with four homers and four steals in 11 games this month.

    Nick Pivetta got through four innings, allowing two runs, Sunday night against the Giants.

    Pivetta struck out five and got up to 69 pitches in his second start back from the 60-day IL. It looked like he might have been dealing with a leg issue at the end of the outing, but he grinded it out. Assuming that he’s OK, maybe he’ll have a chance to complete five innings in a home start against the Marlins next weekend.
