Ubaldo Jimenez - S - Orioles

Ubaldo Jimenez (ankle) allowed one unearned run on five hits and three walks while striking out three over 4 2/3 frames in his first rehab start with Short Season-Aberdeen.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said before he knew the results of the appearance that it's possible Jimenez will be rejoin the big club's rotation after the outing. "We’ll see, if it goes well,’’ Showalter said. "We can pitch him at [Triple-A] Norfolk or activate him. We’ll see [after] tonight." Jimenez has been out since mid-July with a sprained right ankle.

Jon Lester - S - Red Sox

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Dodgers and Cardinals "appear to be the teams most aggressively competing" for Jon Lester and David Price.

Lester is virtually certain to get moved after being scratched from Wednesday's scheduled start, while Price's status is more up the air with the Rays back in the playoff hunt. Heyman writes that the Pirates "are still involved to some degree on the Lester front, but they are reluctant to surrender top prospects for a rental, seeming to place them third in the derby at the moment." The A's have also been mentioned as a potential suitor for Lester, but it appears that they may have fallen back from the pack, as well. It could be an interesting battle between the Dodgers and Cardinals for Lester and perhaps Price, as they both have the prospects to deal and the room to add payroll.

Alex Rios - OF - Rangers

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the trade talks for Alex Rios "could go to the end."

Rosenthal notes that several of the clubs interested in Rios -- the Indians, Reds, Royals and Giants -- have been fading of late. He also mentions that the Rangers are willing to pick up a portion of what remains of the outfielder's $12.5 million salary for this season. Rios is batting .305/.334/.431 with four homers and 43 RBI in 2014.

George Kontos - R - Giants

Giants optioned RHP George Kontos to Triple-A Fresno.

Kontos has gone back-and-forth between the majors and minors a few times this season even though he's pitched well with the big club, posting a 3.00 ERA while striking out 21 over 21 frames. He'll be back eventually.

Jayson Werth - OF - Nationals

Jayson Werth flied out as a pinch-hitter in Tuesday's loss to the Marlins.

Werth didn't start the game after tweaking his ankle Monday, but the fact that he was able to pinch-hit was a good sign. He has a good chance to return to the lineup Wednesday.

Aaron Hill - 2B - Diamondbacks

Aaron Hill went 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts in his return to the lineup Tuesday.

Hill missed back-to-back starts after being hit on the right hand by a pitch Saturday, but he's ready to go now. The 32-year-old could be traded before Thursday's deadline.
Jul 30 - 5:44 AM
Lonnie Chisenhall - 3B - Indians

Lonnie Chisenhall went 0-for-4 at the plate in his return to the lineup Tuesday.

Chisenhall missed the previous two contests due to illness, but it shouldn't be an issue going forward. The third baseman his hit just .219/.318/.307 over 38 contests since his three-homer game back on June 9.
Jul 30 - 5:44 AM
Endy Chavez - OF - Mariners

Endy Chavez was retired as a pinch-hitter on Tuesday versus the Indians.

Chavez had been unavailable the last few days after jamming his finger. The veteran outfielder is hitting just .260/.284/.344 for the Mariners this season.
