Lou Trivino - Gets fifth hold Trivino secured his fifth hold in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday, firing a scoreless one-third of an inning.

Impact After a busy stretch last week where he logged four appearances in six days, manager Bob Melvin gave Trivino some down time before calling on him for a quick two-pitch outing to close out the eighth inning. Trivino has been masterful over his last 17 appearances, not allowing a single earned run over the 17 innings covering that stretch while also generating an 0.88 WHIP.

Elvis Andrus - Burns old team Andrus went 3-for-5 with a two-run single, a double and a run in a win over the Rangers on Tuesday.

Impact The veteran shortstop did some damage to his old squad by authoring one of a trio of three-hit efforts for the Athletics. Andrus' absolutely dreadful start to the season is firmly behind him, as he now owns a .290/.347/.420 slash line with nine doubles, nine RBI, six walks, two steals and 10 runs across 19 June contests.

Brett de Geus - Designated for assignment The Rangers designated de Geus for assignment Wednesday.

Impact The righty allowed multiple runs in five of his last seven relief appearances, most recently yielding three in 1.1 innings Tuesday. The Dodgers could reclaim de Geus, who was picked by Texas in the Rule 5 draft, but his 8.44 ERA can't be too appealing to a contending club like Los Angeles.

Demarcus Evans - Optioned to Triple-A The Rangers optioned Evans to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.

Impact The righty gets demoted after yielding four runs on five hits in just 0.2 innings Tuesday, raising his ERA to 8.68. Evans has demonstrated his strikeout stuff, fanning 14 batters in 9.1 innings with the Rangers, but his run prevention has been too poor to keep him on the big-league roster.
