Jason Bay - OF - Mets

Mets manager Terry Collins indicated Tuesday that Jason Bay (rib) will get his starting left field job back when he returns from the disabled list.

"Absolutely," said Collins. "He didn’t come here to be an extra player." Bay was recently cleared for baseball activities, but is likely about 10 days to two weeks away from coming off the disabled list. We think a platoon with rookie Kirk Nieuwenhuis is inevitable, but the Mets will at least give Bay an opportunity to keep his job. The 33-year-old was hitting .240 with three homers and a .776 OPS over his first 50 at-bats prior to suffering a non-displaced fractured rib on April 23.

Trystan Magnuson - R - Blue Jays

Blue Jays sent RHP Trystan Magnuson outright to High-A Dunedin.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster. Magnuson, who was reacquired from the A's last November, has a 4.05 ERA and 5/1 K/BB ratio in 6 2/3 innings at the High-A level this season. The 26-year-old right-hander posted a 6.14 ERA in nine relief appearances with Oakland last year.

Wil Myers - OF - Royals

The Royals have promoted outfielder-third baseman Wil Myers and right-hander Jake Odorizzi from Double-A Northwest Arkansas to Triple-A Omaha.

Well deserved on both counts. Myers, who Baseball America ranked as the No. 28 prospect in the game over the winter, was hitting .343/.414/.731 with 13 homers, 30 RBI and a 1.146 OPS through his first 152 plate appearances. Odorizzi, who was ranked as the organization's No. 4 prospect by Baseball America over the winter, had a 3.32 ERA and 47/10 K/BB ratio in 38 innings over his first seven starts this year. Both are on the fast track to the big leagues.

Eric Young Jr. - OF - Rockies

The Rockies will decide Wednesday whether to activate Eric Young, Jr. from the bereavement list.

Young was placed on the bereavement list earlier this month after his grandfather passed away. He has spent the past few days in Arizona working on his conditioning. The speedy 26-year-old is hitting .286 (6-for-21) with four stolen bases and an .829 OPS in 21 games this season.

Freddy Sanchez - 2B - Giants

Freddy Sanchez saw a back specialist Tuesday and was given an epidural injection.

Sanchez recently underwent an MRI on his lower back after it locked up on him while he was rehabbing from shoulder surgery. The 34-year-old hasn't played in a major league game since last June 4 and there's no telling when he'll make it back at this point.

Joaquin Arias - SS - Giants

Joaquin Arias is day-to-day after X-rays came back negative on his left forearm.

Arias left Tuesday's game against the Rockies in the fourth inning after he was hit in the left forearm by a pitch, but fortunately for the Giants, he was diagnosed with a contusion and managed to avoid serious injury. There's a chance he could play Wednesday, but the Giants may hold him out for a day to play it safe.
