 Black failed to reach the postseason in his eight-plus seasons as
the Padres manager.
- -
The Padres placed outfielder Wil Myers back on the 15-day disabled
list and recalled right-hander Cory Mazzoni from Triple-A El Paso.
Myers, 24, is back on the list with the same issue -- tendinitis in
his left wrist -- that sidelined him for 28 games until he returned
last Thursday.
- -
The New York Mets designated right-hander Dillon Gee for assignment
and dropped him from the roster.
When Gee was on the disabled list with a groin strain last month,
rookie Noah Syndergaard was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas.
Syndergaard was effective enough to hold on to that rotation spot
when Gee returned.
- -
Mets third baseman David Wright could be recovered enough from his
back problem to rejoin the team by the All-Star break.
Wright, the Mets' captain, has been out since April 15. He
originally went on the disabled list with a hamstring injury, then
injured his back. He was later diagnosed with spinal stenosis, which
has kept him off the field.
- -
The Seattle Mariners recalled outfielder James Jones from Triple-A
Tacoma and optioned right-hander Danny Farquhar.
Jones was available for the Mariners' game in San Francisco on
Monday night.
- -
Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper returned to the
starting lineup for Monday night's game against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Harper sat out of Sunday's 4-0 win against the Milwaukee Brewers
after getting hit on his left knee by a 95-mph fastball the night
before.

The Atlanta Braves optioned catcher Christian Bethancourt to
Triple-A Gwinnett.
Bethancourt has struggled this season, hitting .208 with one home
run and nine RBIs in 29 games.
- -
The Texas Rangers placed outfielder Delino DeShields on the 15-day
disabled list and recalled second baseman Rougned Odor from Triple-A
Round Rock.
DeShields suffered a hamstring injury chasing a fly ball in left
field Sunday during the Rangers' 4-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins.
- -
Outfielder Grady Sizemore signed a minor-league deal with the Tampa
Bay Rays and is expected to report to Class A Charlotte.
Sizemore, 32, was designated for assignment by the Philadelphia
Phillies on May 29.
The Phillies had re-signed Sizemore before this season to a $2
million contract, but he was batting .245 with no homers and six
RBIs in 39 games when released. (Editing by Frank Pingue)
