Brian Dozier - 2B - Twins

Brian Dozier went 0-for-4 as the Twins' leadoff man on Monday, dropping his average to .205.

Dozier started off well after replacing Aaron Hicks in the leadoff spot, but now he's hitting .154 with two walks in 52 at-bats this month. The Twins should consider sending him down, but none of their minor league options are better bets.

Salvador Perez - C - Royals

Salvador Perez left Monday's game with a right hip injury.

Perez suffered the injury when he bumped into post at the Astros' dugout while chasing a foul popup. There's no word on the severity of the ailment, but the Royals should provide an update after the game. George Kottaras took Perez's spot behind the plate.

Alex Sanabia - S - Marlins

Alex Sanabia scattered seven hits while holding the Phillies to one run in 6 1/3 innings in a victory on Monday.

Sanabia snapped a five-start losing streak, winning for the first time since April 16. With his 1.69 WHIP and 28/24 K/BB ratio in 51 1/3 innings, he wouldn't be much of a fantasy option even if he pitched for a good team.

Cole Hamels - S - Phillies

Cole Hamels struck out 10 Marlins on Monday, but he still took a loss after allowing two runs in six innings.

Even Alex Sanabia proved too much for the Phillies offense. Hamels is now 1-7 this year, even though he's given the Phillies seven quality starts in 10 tries. The Phillies have been limited to one or no runs in half of his outings.

Jake Westbrook - S - Cardinals

Jake Westbrook (elbow) plans to resume throwing from a mound on Tuesday.

It comes after he made 25 flat-ground throws from 60 feet on Sunday and 50 throws from 90 feet on Monday. Westbrook seems likely to need a rehab start or two before returning, but there's no word on when that might take place. He'll likely be back in early June if he can avoid a setback.

Phillippe Aumont - R - Phillies

Phillippe Aumont gave up two runs in two-thirds of an inning mopping up against the Marlins on Monday.

Aumont seems about due for a demotion. His 4.05 ERA still isn't bad, but it's come with a terrible 2.08 WHIP in 13 innings. All he's doing is mopping up anyway; all but one of his 16 appearances has come in a Phillies loss.

Scott Elbert - R - Dodgers

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Scott Elbert's (elbow) velocity during his rehab assignment "still isn't where we want it to be."

"But he's going in the right direction," the skipper added. Elbert has made four rehab appearances, but it appears he's not terribly close to being activated from the disabled list.

Domonic Brown - OF - Phillies

Domonic Brown went 2-for-4 and homered for the Phillies' only run Monday against the Marlins.

With a .250 average and a sub-.300 OBP, Brown hasn't been everything the Phillies were hoping for this year. Still, he's outhitting the rest of the Phillies' outfielders. Only John Mayberry Jr. is matching him in OPS, and all of Mayberry's production has come against lefties (oddly enough, so has most of Brown's). What we're trying to say is that Brown shouldn't have anything to worry about when it comes to playing time.
