Denard Span - OF - Nationals

Denard Span (concussion) went 1-for-2 with a walk in a minor league rehab game with Low-A Hagerstown on Friday.

Assuming he feels well enough afterwards, he'll be activated from the disabled list and is expected to rejoin the Nationals starting lineup on Saturday. The 30-year-old got off to a slow start with the bat, slashing .222/.300/.361 with four RBI in his first 10 games.

Michael Morse - OF - Giants

Michael Morse (hamstring) is not in the Giants starting lineup on Friday.

Giants manager Bruce Bochy said that he's dealing with minor hamstring tightness. He's expected to return to the Giants lineup on Saturday.

Jordy Mercer - SS - Pirates

Jordy Mercer was removed from Friday's game against the Brewers in the fourth inning due to an ankle injury.

Mercer sustained the injury earlier in the game when he was spiked while trying to turn a double play at second base. No word yet on the extent of the injury or how much time he may miss. Clint Barmes replaced him at shortstop.

Juan Francisco - 3B - Blue Jays

The Blue Jays are expected to recall Juan Francisco from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

With Adam Lind likely heading for a stint on the disabled list, Francisco was pulled from Friday's minor league game and is likely heading to join the Blue Jays. It's unclear how much playing time he'll see, but is certainly worth a look in AL-only formats for his dual eligibility and power potential.

Jason Bartlett - OF - Twins

Jason Barlett announced his retirement from professional baseball on Friday.

The club has reportedly asked him to reconsider, but the veteran infielder is expected to file his paperwork with the league. He appeared in just three games before hitting the disabled list with an ankle injury, going 0-for-3 with three strikeouts.

Jim Johnson - R - Athletics

Athletics manager Bob Melvin indicated Friday that the team will continue to employ a committee to close games.

With Luke Gregerson blowing a save in his last outing, and Jim Johnson pitching well in middle relief, there had been some speculation that Johnson would regain the cloer's role, but that doesn't appear to be the reality just yet. Look for Gregerson, Sean Doolittle, Dan Otero, Ryan Cook and perhaps even Johnson to share the load in the late innings.

Casey Janssen - R - Blue Jays

Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said Friday that Casey Janssen (back) will miss at least the next two weeks due to a strained muscle in his abdomen/lower back.

It's a tough break for the Jays closer, who was hoping to return to the team in mid-April. Sergio Santos is serving as the ninth-inning man in his absence, but suffered an ugly blown save in his last outing.

Casey Kelly - S - Padres

Casey Kelly (elbow) is scheduled to throw in an extended spring training game on Monday.

If all goes well with that outing, he'll be cleared to begin a minor league rehab assignment. He's working his way back from Tommy John surgery, but as long as he continues to progress, he could be looking at a return to the Padres before the All-Star break.
