Blake DeWitt - 2B - Cubs

Cubs sent INF-OF Blake DeWitt outright to Triple-A Iowa.

DeWitt was designated for assignment earlier this month. He had the option of declaring free agency but has decided to remain in the organization.

Scott Maine - R - Cubs

Cubs recalled LHP Scott Maine from Triple-A Iowa.

Maine surrendered just one hit in 5 2/3 innings of relief during his two-week stay earlier this season. He'll work in middle relief.

Lendy Castillo - R - Cubs

Cubs placed RHP Lendy Castillo on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 12, with a left groin strain.

The strain is being referred to as "moderate," so it could be more than a minimum stay on the DL for the Rule 5 pick. Scott Maine takes his spot on the roster.

Jeff Karstens - S - Pirates

Jeff Karstens (shoulder) felt good during a 20-pitch simulated game Wednesday.

Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said the big test will be how Karstens feels Thursday and then in a follow-up session Friday. "[That] will give us a better read on what the next step is for him," Hurdle said.

Matt Guerrier - R - Dodgers

Matt Guerrier (elbow) threw his second bullpen session on Wednesday since landing on the disabled list back in mid-April.

He could soon face hitters and then going out on a rehab assignment shortly after that. Guerrier is hoping to be back by the first of June. "It's going good right now," said Guerrier. "I'm recovering. I'd like to be back by June 1 if I could. I don't feel any sharp pain anymore, and that's what I was having before."

Mike Carp - OF - Mariners

Mike Carp was scratched from Wednesday's lineup with a stiff right shoulder.

The move is considered precautionary, and Carp should be available off the bench. Chone Figgins took his spot in left field.

Daisuke Matsuzaka - S - Red Sox

Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine indicated that Daisuke Matsuzaka (elbow) likely won't be ready to rejoin the team after his next two rehab starts.

It will be the end of his 30-day rehab assignment, but if the Red Sox don't think he's ready, they can place him back on the disabled list and begin a new rehab assignment. "I don't think he's all that close to pitching in the major league," said Valentine. "Not until he's ready. It's not the calendar that's going to dictate whether or not a guy pitches in the major leagues." Bobby V also indicated that Dice-K is still working on getting his mechanics in order. We had anticipated possible seeing him before the end of May, but it appears that won't happen.

Chase Utley - 2B - Phillies

Chase Utley (knee) fielded grounders Wednesday for the first time since rejoining the Phillies on May 5.

Obviously, it's a good sign, but we'll have to see how the knee responds. Utley doesn't seem to have any issues at the plate, but he'll have to field and run without hesitation before a realistic timetable can be established. Right now, a best-case scenario is probably mid-June.
