 The team announced it had fired Redmond and bench coach Rob Leary
shortly after Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Braves in Miami. The Marlins
did not get a hit off Braves right-hander Shelby Miller until there
were two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Redmond's replacement will be named Monday, the Marlins said.
Redmond was in his third season as the Marlins manager, and he was
given an extension after the 2014 season that runs until 2017.
He compiled a 155-207 record with the Marlins going 16-22 this
season.

The Texas Rangers placed left-hander Ross Detwiler on the disabled
list with left shoulder inflammation.
Detwiler experienced discomfort in his left shoulder in his start on
Thursday against the Kansas City Royals. He gave up three runs on
nine hits and a walk in five innings in that game and was charged
with the loss.
Detwiler is 0-5 for the season with a 6.95 ERA.

Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton, wanting to finally put his two
miserable years in Los Angeles behind him, said the Angels front
office prevented him from talking to owner Arte Moreno.
Hamilton hit just .255 with 31 homers and 123 RBIs in two seasons
with the Angels before they traded him to the Rangers in April for
cash considerations.
"I told everybody from MLB to (manager) Mike Scioscia, even when I
was there and wasn't playing in 2013, I wasn't being the guy that I
was supposed to be," Hamilton said Saturday before his game with the
Double-A Frisco RoughRiders.
"In 2014, same thing. I tried to reach out to the owner, Arte, and
talk to him and tell him, 'You know what? I'm working my butt off,
and I want to be the guy that played against you for all these
years.' I was always turned down by the general manager and team
president. They said they would let him know."

flush in the left earflap and knocked him to the ground.
"I got lucky, it hit me right in the helmet," Gomez said after the
game. "I feel fine."

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Nick Franklin, activated off the 15-day
