Rick Porcello was tagged for six runs in six innings by the Orioles in a loss Wednesday.

Coming off four straight excellent starts, Porcello appeared on the way to another nice outing today, at least until the fourth. He gave up all six runs and seven hits in that frame before coming back with perfect fifth and sixth innings afterwards. One bad innings doesn't necessarily mean that his strong run is over, but it does put a damper on things. Fortunately, he'll miss the Red Sox this weekend and get the Angels next time out.

Nick Swisher (shoulder) is expected to return to the Indians' starting lineup this Saturday.

That's contingent on a batting practice session going well on Friday. Swisher hasn't placed since last Saturday because of a sore left shoulder. He was given a cortisone injection to treat the discomfort earlier this week and is apparently feeling much better.

Mopping up against the Orioles, Jose Valverde gave up four runs and five hits in the ninth Wednesday.

The Tigers were already down 9-3, so Valverde's showing didn't hurt the team. It did, however, demonstrate once again why he's a really hard guy to trust. When Chris Davis took him deep today, it upped his total to six homers allowed in 19 1/3 innings.

Tigers optioned OF Avisail Garcia to Triple-A Toledo.

Garcia was up in the bigs for only a few days this time around. The 22-year-old outfielder has a .279/.315/.441 batting line in 25 major league games this season.
Jun 19 - 4:45 PM

Nate McLouth went 3-for-5 with two doubles, a steal and two runs scored against the Tigers on Wednesday.

McLouth was hitting .226/.344/.264 in 53 at-bats for the month entering the day. But even though he hasn't hit for average since April, he's still drawing walks and stealing bases. While McLouth, with 24, is seven steals behind Jacoby Ellsbury for the AL lead, he has eight more than anyone else in the circuit.

David Ross will visit concussion specialist Dr. Mickey Collins on Thursday in Pittsburgh.

Ross has been bothered by post-concussion symptoms since mid-May and was officially placed back on the disabled list on Tuesday night. He is out indefinitely.
Jun 19 - 4:43 PM

Prince Fielder went 0-for-4 on Wednesday and is without a homer since June 4.

Fielder has been hitting for average of late, but except for a three-game surge at the beginning of the month, the power hasn't been there. He has a total of five homers and 27 RBI in 44 games since May 1 after totaling seven homers and 27 RBI in 25 games in April. Fortunately, since he's hitting behind Miguel Cabrera, he's still driving in runs with singles and doubles.
Jun 19 - 4:41 PM

Chris Perez (shoulder) will not be activated from the disabled list this Friday.

The original plan was to bring him back for the weekend but Perez yielded three homers (and five runs in total) during a rehab appearance Tuesday night at Double-A Akron. The Indians want to get him a little more work against minor league competition. Vinnie Pestano will remain the Indians' primary ninth-inning man.
