Zach Duke - R - Nationals

Zach Duke will start for the Nationals on Monday against the Giants.

Duke has been pitching out of the bullpen all year but the Nats need a fill-in for Ross Detwiler, who has a lower back injury. Duke is not a good fantasy option.

Gil Velazquez - 3B - Marlins

Marlins signed INF Gil Velazquez to a minor league contract; assigned him to Triple-A New Orleans.

Velazquez opened the 2013 season with the Yankees' Triple-A affiliate but batted just .173 with a .426 OPS in 27 games there. The 33-year-old infielder is a .236/.253/.250 career hitter in the major leagues.

Mitchell Boggs - R - Cardinals

Cardinals recalled RHP Mitchell Boggs from Triple-A Memphis.

Boggs struggled mightily after being named the Cardinals' closer at the start of the 2013 season and was optioned to Memphis on May 3 with a 12.66 ERA. He wasn't exactly flawless during his time on the farm and will probably be limited to low-leverage situations for a while. Edward Mujica's job is obviously safe.
May 18 - 5:05 PM
Jaime Garcia - S - Cardinals

Cardinals placed LHP Jaime Garcia on the 15-day disabled list with a left shoulder strain.

Garcia has been dealing with shoulder issues for over a year and will visit Dr. James Andrews to try to get some answers. Surgery could ultimately be the course taken. The Cardinals are calling up reliever Mitchell Boggs on Saturday to fill their vacant roster spot but will have to add a new starting pitcher soon. Maybe 2012 first-rounder Michael Wacha will get a chance.
May 18 - 5:02 PM
Tyler Chatwood - S - Rockies

Rockies recalled RHP Tyler Chatwood from Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Chatwood will make a spot start on Saturday night against the Giants. He has posted decent numbers this year at the Triple-A level but is not a great fantasy bet.
May 18 - 4:49 PM
Rob Scahill - R - Rockies

Rockies optioned RHP Rob Scahill to Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Scahill was only up for two days this time around. He will probably be back and forth all season long.
May 18 - 4:48 PM
Ian Kinsler - 2B - Rangers

Ian Kinsler (ribs) is out of the Rangers' starting lineup again on Saturday evening.

Kinsler was hit in the ribs by a throw Tuesday while stealing second base and aggravated his contusion Thursday during an at-bat. He is considered day-to-day.

Ike Davis - 1B - Mets

Ike Davis was told Saturday by Mets general manger Sandy Alderson that a demotion is not imminent.

ESPN New York reported Saturday morning that there were intensifying internal discussions about sending the struggling first baseman to Triple-A, but Davis got the vote of confidence on Saturday afternoon directly from the man who would make that decision. Davis estimated that he has about a month to turn it around.
