The Rangers called up Foscue from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.comreports.

The 24-year-old missed out on Texas' Opening Day roster but will join the club less than a week into the regular season since Josh Jung is headed to the injured list with a fractured wrist. Foscue isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Tampa Bay but should soon make his MLB debut, and he could be in store for at least semi-regular playing time in the corner infield spots with Jung and Nathaniel Lowe (oblique) sidelined.

Jung was placed on the 10-day injured list by the Rangers on Tuesday with a fractured right wrist, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

Jung suffered the unfortunate injury when he was hit by a pitch in Monday's game against the Rays. There is no timetable for the 26-year-old's return at this point, but he will certainly be on the shelf for several weeks. Josh Smith is getting the first shot to fill in at third base for Jung on Tuesday, but Ezequiel Duran and Justin Foscue will also be in the mix.

Cowser is starting in left field and batting eighth Tuesday against the Royals, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Cowser went 1-for-3 while coming off the bench in the first four games of the season, but he'll receive his first start of the young campaign. Austin Hays has worked as Baltimore's primary left fielder thus far but is on the bench Tuesday.

Hays is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Royals, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Hays had started in all four games this season despite suffering a shoulder contusion on a hit-by-pitch over the weekend, but he'll take a seat for Tuesday's contest amid a 2-for-17 start. Colton Cowser will take over in left field in his first start of the year.

DeJong is absent from Tuesday's lineup versus Atlanta.

DeJong is 1-for-9 with seven strikeouts on the young season, although that one hit was a home run. Braden Shewmake will fill in for DeJong at shortstop Tuesday.

Jimenez (adductor) remained out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

Jimenez will sit out a second straight contest after having to leave Sunday's game with a left adductor injury. The injury was considered minor enough following an MRI that Jimenez is being called day-to-day. Gavin Sheets will receive another start at designated hitter in Jimenez's place Tuesday.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Orioles.

Frazier went 3-for-11 with two RBI while starting the first four games of the season, but he'll take a seat Tuesday as lefty Cole Irvin pitches for Baltimore. Nick Loftin will man the keystone and bat ninth.

Isbel is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Orioles.

Isbel started the first four games of the season but will hit the bench Tuesday with southpaw Cole Irvin pitching for Baltimore. Garrett Hampson will start in center field and bat seventh.

Melendez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Baltimore.

The Royals are facing their first left-handed starting pitcher of the season as Cole Irvin takes the mound for the Orioles, and Melendez will also head to the bench. Nelson Velazquez will man left field while Salvador Perez serves as the designated hitter.

The Mariners claimed Peralta off waivers from the White Sox on Tuesday.

Peralta notched a 4.05 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB over 20 innings out of the White Sox bullpen last season. He has two minor-league options remaining, so the Mariners will send him to Triple-A Tacoma to begin his tenure with the organization, per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com.
