The Texas Rangers may consider trading SP Michael Kirkman, who is out of minor league options, for another backup catcher with C Geovany Soto (knee) out. The Rangers could eye New York Yankees Cs Francisco Cervelli or Austin Romine or Arizona Diamondbacks Cs Henry Blanco or Bobby Wilson. The Rangers have also discussed Kansas City Royals C Ramon Hernandez, who is unlikely to make the active roster.

The Seattle Mariners will sign free-agent C Humberto Quintero (Phillies) to take the roster spot of C Mike Zunino (hand).

Fantasy Tip: It was initially believed that Jason Jaramillo would come up from the minors to provide catching help, but that's not the case now. Quintero should split duties with Henry Blanco behind the dish.

The Seattle Mariners will bring up C Jason Jaramillo from Triple-A Tacoma to take the roster spot of C Mike Zunino (hand).

Fantasy Tip: Jaramillo will likely split the catching duties with Henry Blanco. Of the two, it's unclear who will be playing more often, but Jaramillo should be your first target if you're desperate for a catcher in AL leagues or cavernous deep mixed universes.

The Seattle Mariners placed C Mike Zunino (hand) on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured hamate bone in his left hand Friday, July 26. Zunino will have surgery on his hand and miss six weeks.

Fantasy Tip: It's unclear what the corresponding move is for Zunino. Right now, Henry Blanco appears to be the beneficiary of playing time thanks to Zunino's injury. Blanco should only be considered for the desperate in AL-only formats. Zunino probably won't be back this season.

The Seattle Mariners have designated C Kelly Shoppach for assignment and signed C Henry Blanco.

Fantasy Tip: Shoppach should catch on elsewhere. Neither he nor Blanco would be worth anything more than a boring second backstop in a single-universe format. This makes it seem that Mike Zunino has a long leash for the near future.
