Jayson Werth is going to Chicago to see another specialist regarding his tight right hamstring.

Werth suffered a setback in his rehab Wednesday when he felt some tightness in his hamstring during a game at High-A Potomac. He saw a doctor in New York on Saturday, and he'll see another one in Chicago early next week. He is still hoping to return to the Nationals' lineup by Friday but that seems unlikely to happen.

Cory Luebke (elbow) has had his throwing program stopped for the second time this year in his attempt to return from Tommy John surgery.

Luebke was shut down in early March before resuming sessions of catch on April 1, and he had progressed to throwing off a mound before this latest setback. Obviously none of this bodes well for his mission to return to live major league games by the All-Star break.

Jake Odorizzi is expected to be called up Monday to start in place of David Price against Toronto.

Odorizzi and Alex Colome were the frontrunners for the spot start, and it seems like Odorizzi will win out. Colome pitched for Triple-A Durham on Saturday, and Odorizzi is on the same five-day schedule as Price was. The Blue Jays aren't the most pitcher-friendly opponent for a spot starter, but Odorizzi is good enough that he warrants a look in deeper mixed leagues. The right-hander has a 3.83 ERA and 47/15 K/BB ratio through 44 2/3 innings at Triple-A Durham this year.

Braves signed LHP Joe Beimel to a minor league contract.

Beimel is finally recovered from Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery and could help the battered Atlanta bullpen down the line. The 36-year-old right-hander will presumably report to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Bryce Harper will miss Saturday and likely Sunday's game as well because of a bruised left knee.

Harper is still feeling the effects of running into the Dodger Stadium outfield wall on Monday night and is getting a few days to recover in San Diego before the Nationals head to San Francisco. Harper underwent an MRI on his abdomen on Friday, which came back clean.

Adam Dunn left Saturday's game against the Angels due to back spasms.

Jeff Keppinger hit for the first baseman in the fifth inning. Spasms are generally a day-to-day thing, so we'll have to see how Dunn is feeling Sunday before knowing if he'll have to miss some games. It's unfortunate timing, too, as Dunn has been heating up at the plate.
May 18 - 6:19 PM

Jose Molina left Saturday's game against the Orioles with left hamstring tightness.

The injury is considered day-to-day. Jose Lobaton will likely get the start behind the plate Sunday if Molina is unable to go.

Padres activated OF Carlos Quentin from the paternity leave list.

Quentin was out Thursday and Friday to be present for the birth of his son. He returns to a weak .686 OPS.
