Take this for what it’s worth, as there’s been no confirmation from the organization, but according to a local report, Texas will place second baseman Ian Kinsler on the 15-day disabled list today with a minor injury to his left leg, and will purchase the contract of Oklahoma City first baseman-outfielder Mitch Moreland. To make room for Moreland on the 40-man roster, according to this story, righthander Mark Lowe could be shifted to the 60-day disabled list.
The Kinsler injury isn’t considered serious but the club reportedly wants to take this opportunity to get him right physically before the stretch run.
The article goes on to suggest that this development could vault Baltimore’s Ty Wigginton over Florida’s Jorge Cantu as a trade target over the next three days, as Wigginton is capable of playing not only on the infield corners but at second baseball as well.
Also, Tim Kurkjian said on ESPN SportsCenter this morning that he didn’t expect Milwaukee to trade Prince Fielder this week unless Texas were to bowl them over with an offer.
More as details develop.
