    Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports that Ketel Marte is heading back to Arizona to get an MRI on his knee.

    The Ketel Marte saga continues. First it was a disappearance, then a personal issue, and now a potential knee injury. Rather than us getting any answers, this story is only become more muddled as no clear indication has been given as to why Marte didn’t show up to the park for Tuesday’s game and when or if he will be back. Hopefully we get a more definitive update soon, but nothing seems imminent right now.

    Rangers designated C Austin Wynns for assignment.

    Wynns went 8-for-29 with one homer during a 14-game stint with the Rangers after being brought up last month. The well-traveled 35-year-old loses his roster spot with Danny Jansen back from the injured list. He’s spent time with three different organizations this season and figures to wind up back on the open market after going unclaimed on waivers.

    Matt Weyrich from the Baltimore Sun reported that Blaze Alexander (hand) is projected to begin a rehab assignment within a week.

    Alexander suffered a non-displaced fracture in his left-hand in mid-July and is yet to appear in game action since then. He progressed to fielding drills last week and is now reportedly healthy enough for a rehab assignment. That puts him on track to return to the Orioles within the next few weeks.

    Rangers LHP Marco Gonzales elected free agency.

    Gonzalez will hit the open market instead of accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Round Rock. The soft-tossing 34-year-old journeyman passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment over the weekend.

    Matt Weyrich from the Baltimore Sun reported that Félix Bautista (shoulder) is projected to begin a rehab assignment within a week.

    It’s been a long road back for Bautista since undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum and rotator cuff last year. There have been reports of him throwing going all the way back to March, but he’s ramped up his progression with consistent bullpen sessions since June and has been facing live hitters for the last two weeks. The quality of his stuff and velocity during this rehab assignment will tell us a lot about the role we can expect him to fill for the Orioles when he eventually returns.

    Royals recalled RHP Carlos Duran from Triple-A Omaha.

    Duran was acquired by the Royals from the Dodgers at the trade deadline for Kris Bubic and is set to join their big league bullpen. His fastball sits in the upper-90s, he has a great slider, and mixes in a sinker, but has consistently struggled with his command.

    Royals optioned RHP Lucas Erceg to Triple-A Omaha.

    It’s been quite a fall from grace for Erceg, who still leads the Royals with 12 saves despite being removed from the closer’s role two months ago after blowing four saves in five chances. His fastball velocity has fallen in each of the last two seasons and he’ll head to Triple-A Omaha with an ugly 6.23 ERA, 31 strikeouts, and 29 walks across 43 1/3 innings.

    Pirates optioned RHP Isaac Mattson to Triple-A Indianapolis.

    A regular member of the Pirates’ bullpen churn, this is the fourth time Mattson has been sent down to Triple-A since May 20th. Just wait another week or two and it’s likely he comes back up when they need a fresh arm.

    Pirates recalled RHP Antwone Kelly from Triple-A Indianapolis.

    This is the fourth time the Pirates have brought Kelly back up from Triple-A since June 12th. He’s thrown 7 1/3 innings across three big league appearances with a 6.14 ERA, four strikeouts, and four walks.

    Yankees RHP Luis Gil (shoulder) was activated from the injured list at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

    Gil has been out for over three months with right shoulder inflammation and only threw three total innings between two rehab appearances with High-A Hudson Valley. Perhaps the Yankees are preparing him for a role in their bullpen as the playoffs near. Regardless, don’t expect him to contribute in a major way any time soon.

    Blue Jays INF Lenyn Sosa has been reinstated from the 60-day IL, cleared outright assignment waivers, and sent to Triple-A Buffalo.

    Sosa has been out since late May with a wrist injury and upon being activated, cleared outright assignment waivers and was sent to Triple-A Buffalo. That means he’s off the Blue Jays’ 40-man roster and is unlikely to contribute to the big league team again this season given that news
