Buster Posey - C - Giants

Buster Posey is not in the Giants' lineup Sunday.

As he often does, Posey is getting a breather with Barry Zito on the mound. Guillermo Quiroz is getting the start behind the plate. Marco Scutaro is also receiving a day off, as Nick Noonan is at second base.

Luis Jimenez - 3B - Angels

Angels optioned INF Luis Jimenez to Triple-A Salt Lake.

He's being sent down to make room for the arrival of Chris Nelson. Jimenez got off to a hot start this season but cooled off considerably since.

Tyler Lyons - S - Cardinals

Tyler Lyons will be called up to start on Wednesday against the Padres.

It will be Lyons' major league debut. A former ninth-round pick, Lyons has put up a 4.47 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over eight starts at Triple-A Memphis this season. He's taking Jaime Garcia's spot in the rotation but is not guaranteed any more than the one start and should be avoided for fantasy purposes.

Aaron Harang - S - Mariners

Aaron Harang (back) threw a bullpen session Sunday with no issues and is in line to start on Tuesday in Anaheim.

Harang missed his last outing with some minor back stiffness, but he's alright now. The big righty holds a 7.30 ERA and 1.42 WHIP over five starts this season but does boast a 23/5 K/BB ratio over 24 2/3 frames.

Jake Odorizzi - S - Rays

Rays manager Joe Maddon said he planned to have Jake Odorizzi make all of the starts in place of the injured David Price (triceps).

It could possibly only be a couple starts, as the Rays are optimistic that Price will not need to miss much time. Odorizzi will make his Rays' debut on Tuesday against the Blue Jays. He's worth a shot in deeper mixed leagues.

Alex Torres - R - Rays

Rays optioned LHP Alex Torres to Triple-A Durham.

Torres tossed four innings of hitless relief on Saturday, but the Rays needed a fresh arm. He's replaced in the bullpen by Jeff Beliveau.

Taylor Teagarden - C - Orioles

Taylor Teagarden (thumb) will start a hitting and catching program on Monday.

Teagarden had the splint removed from his dislocated left thumb on Friday and is ready to begin baseball activities. He should be ready to return late this month or early next month.
