Yasiel Puig - OF - Dodgers

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Wednesday that the club has discussed calling up prospect outfielders Yasiel Puig and Joc Pederson.

Very interesting. However, while the Dodgers are struggling to score runs, it's hard to see a great fit for playing time as long as Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, and Carl Crawford are healthy. Puig, 22, is batting .314/.385/.579 with six homers and a .964 OPS through 32 games this season with Double-A Chattanooga. Pederson has been even better, batting .327/.400/.554 with eight homers, 13 stolen bases and a .954 OPS.

Kyle Lohse - S - Brewers

Kyle Lohse will not make his next scheduled start on Saturday due to right elbow irritation.

The description of his condition is rather vague, but the Brewers should provide more information soon. Mike Fiers will start in his place Saturday against the Pirates. Lohse allowed four runs in six innings Sunday against the Cardinals and owns a 3.76 ERA and 37/10 K/BB ratio in 55 innings across nine starts this season.

Ross Wolf - R - Rangers

Rangers purchased the contract of RHP Ross Wolf from Triple-A Round Rock.

He'll make the start Wednesday in place of Nick Tepesch, who was scratched due to a blister on his finger. Wolf has a 1.85 ERA and 25/9 K/BB ratio in 34 innings this season in Triple-A. The 30-year-old is likely to head right back down to the minors, so he's not worth chasing in most fantasy leagues.

Cory Burns - R - Rangers

Rangers optioned RHP Cory Burns to Triple-A Round Rock.

Wednesday's starter, Ross Wolf, will replace him on the active roster. Burns allowed two runs in 3 2/3 innings during his brief stint with the big club and should get another shot in the Rangers' bullpen later this year.

Jacoby Ellsbury - OF - Red Sox

Rob Bradford of WEEI.com was told by a major league source that the Red Sox and Jacoby Ellsbury have not discussed a contract extension.

Ellsbury is represented by Scott Boras, so it's not a big surprise that there hasn't been much momentum for a deal with free agency looming this offseason. However, Ellsbury might not get the big payday he was hoping for if he doesn't turn things around. The 29-year-old is hitting just .242/.307/.335 through 45 games this season and owns a measly .666 OPS and 79 OPS+ dating back to the start of last year.

Tim Byrdak - R - Mets

Tim Byrdak (shoulder) threw his third bullpen session Wednesday.

Byrdak, who had shoulder surgery last September, resumed throwing earlier this month and has worked his way up to 25 pitches. It's not clear when he'll be ready for a rehab assignment, but he's hoping to rejoin the Mets around midseason.

Joe Mauer - C - Twins

Joe Mauer is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Braves.

He'll get a rest with the day game after the night game. The Twins are playing under National League rules in Turner Field, so the DH spot isn't available. Ryan Doumit will start behind the plate Wednesday.

Aramis Ramirez - 3B - Brewers

Aramis Ramirez is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Dodgers.

He'll take a seat for the day game, which is understandable given his knee issue. Jeff Bianchi will make the start at the hot corner.
