Jacoby Ellsbury - OF - Red Sox

Rob Bradford of WEEI.com was told by a major league source that the Red Sox and Jacoby Ellsbury have not discussed a contract extension.

Ellsbury is represented by Scott Boras, so it's not a big surprise that there hasn't been much momentum for a deal with free agency looming this offseason. However, Ellsbury might not get the big payday he was hoping for if he doesn't turn things around. The 29-year-old is hitting just .242/.307/.335 through 45 games this season and owns a measly .666 OPS and 79 OPS+ dating back to the start of last year.

Tim Byrdak - R - Mets

Tim Byrdak (shoulder) threw his third bullpen session Wednesday.

Byrdak, who had shoulder surgery last September, resumed throwing earlier this month and has worked his way up to 25 pitches. It's not clear when he'll be ready for a rehab assignment, but he's hoping to rejoin the Mets around midseason.

Joe Mauer - C - Twins

Joe Mauer is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Braves.

He'll get a rest with the day game after the night game. The Twins are playing under National League rules in Turner Field, so the DH spot isn't available. Ryan Doumit will start behind the plate Wednesday.

Aramis Ramirez - 3B - Brewers

Aramis Ramirez is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Dodgers.

He'll take a seat for the day game, which is understandable given his knee issue. Jeff Bianchi will make the start at the hot corner.

Trevor Plouffe - 3B - Twins

Trevor Plouffe said Wednesday that he passed his concussion test, but was placed on the 7-day disabled list because of his initial wooziness.

After what happened with Justin Morneau and Denard Span in previous seasons, the Twins didn't want to take any chances. Plouffe hopes to be back when he's first eligible next week.

Dee Gordon - SS - Dodgers

Dee Gordon is not in the Dodgers' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

The slumping shortstop will sit in favor of Nick Punto. Gordon is batting just .167 since his promotion from Triple-A Albuquerque and is hitless over his last seven games.
