The Baltimore Orioles placed center fielder Cedric Mullins on the 10-day injured list Tuesday and replaced him on the roster with former New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks.

The Orioles announced the signing of Hicks and activated him for Tuesday night's home game against the Cleveland Guardians.

The Texas Rangers have signed Tyler Zombro to a minor-league contract.

Zombro is expected to report to the Triple-A Round Rock Express.

The right-hander suffered a fractured skull after being struck in the head with a line drive in summer 2021 and had to undergo emergency brain surgery.

Zombro made his triumphant return to the mound last April only to then require surgery to correct his thoracic outlet syndrome after making all of two appearances.

The Tampa Bay Rays subsequently released him.

Darin Ruf has agreed to a one-year contract with the Milwaukee Brewers, just days after he elected free agency rather than accept an outright assignment to the minor leagues with the San Francisco Giants.

The Brewers will pay $541,935, a prorated share of the $720,000 major league minimum, and the Giants are responsible for the rest of Ruf's $3 million salary plus a $250,000 buyout of his contract's 2024 team option.

The Giants designated the 36-year-old for assignment on May 9.

The Tampa Bay Rays have signed Jake Diekman to a Major League contract.

In a corresponding move, the club designated Chase Anderson for assignment.

Diekman, 36, went 0-1 with a 7.94 ERA in 13 games with the Chicago White Sox this season before being designated for assignment on May 2. He was released a few days later.
