Jaff Decker will be recalled from Triple-A Tucson on Wednesday.

He'll fill the roster spot of Everth Cabrera, who will be placed on the disabled list with a hamstring injury. Decker had a brief stint with the Padres last week, but didn't get an at-bat. The 26-year-old is a .264/.403/.452 hitter over parts of six seasons in the minors.

Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports that people who have spoken with MLB investigators feel it's likely that "at least some" suspensions will be issued in the Biogenesis case.

MLB has begun interviewing players associated with the case, though they have yet to talk to Ryan Braun or Alex Rodriguez, seemingly because they want to gather enough evidence before confronting them. Interestingly, Heyman notes that MLB officials believe the league's Joint Drug Agreement may allow it to announce suspensions before any appeal process because the names involved have already been leaked. The MLBPA obviously wouldn't be happy with that. While Braun and Rodriguez have garnered most of the attention in the case, Melky Cabrera, Bartolo Colon, Yasmani Grandal, Nelson Cruz, Jhonny Peralta, Everth Cabrera, Francisco Cervelli, Jesus Montero are among the other players who have been connected to the now-shuttered clinic.

Nationals activated 2B Danny Espinosa from the 15-day disabled list; optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse.

An expected move, as Espinosa batted just .118 (2-for-17) with 10 strikeouts over six rehab games in Triple-A. His wrist is apparently feeling better, but he'll need to have better results before returning to the majors. Anthony Rendon will continue to handle second base duties for the Nats for now.

Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said on 106.7 The Fan on Wednesday that Bryce Harper (knee) will resume baseball activities in "the next day or two."

Harper continues to make progress, as he was cleared to progress toward running following a visit to the team doctor earlier this week. While he could begin baseball activities within the next couple of days, there's no timetable for him to return to game action. The 20-year-old outfielder has been sidelined since May 26 with left knee bursitis.

Bud Norris told FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi that it would be a "dream come true" to pitch for the Giants.

With the Astros in rebuilding mode, Norris is an obvious candidate to be traded this summer. While he's fully aware that he can't control his destiny, he would welcome a trade to the Giants, who could be in the market for pitching. "It gives you goose bumps when you think about it," said Norris. "Obviously growing up there, being a big Giants fan — and I rooted for the A’s, too, in the area, but I was more of a Giants fan. That’s a possibility. It’s all trade rumors, as they say. But if it were to happen, it would be a dream come true for me to play for my childhood team." Norris, who is under team control through 2015, has a 3.64 ERA and 61/28 K/BB ratio in 89 innings across 15 starts this season.

Brian Roberts (knee, hamstring) began doing sprints Tuesday.

Roberts has been hitting for a little while now, but he'll need to run without restrictions before being cleared to return to game action. As of now, he's hoping to begin a rehab assignment after the Orioles' roadtrip ends on Sunday.

Matt Wieters is not in the Orioles' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

He's getting the day off with the early start time. Taylor Teagarden will start behind the plate and catch Chris Tillman.
Jun 19 - 11:22 AM

Hanley Ramirez will serve as the designated hitter in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Yankees.

This will give Ramirez's hamstring a bit of a rest. Nick Punto will make the start at shortstop.
