Steve Cishek - R - Marlins

Steve Cishek worked a perfect ninth inning in a non-save situation against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Cishek took the loss against the Reds his last time out, so it was good to see him back and pitching well. The Marlins don't have any better options and Cishek is actually pretty good for the most part, so there's little doubt he will continue to be the closer going forward.

Gerardo Parra - OF - Diamondbacks

Gerardo Parra hit a leadoff, game-winning home run against the Marlins on Saturday.

Parra took Tom Koehler deep in the first at-bat of the game, and it turned out to be all the scoring either team would do. The homer was the outfielder's only hit of the night, and he's now hitting .327/.394/.506 on the year. He's often been the odd-man out in the Diamondbacks outfield -- the Dimaondbacks expected Jason Kubel and Adam Eaton to be starting at this point -- but it's hard to see how the club will bench him when he's hitting like this.

Tom Koehler - R - Marlins

Tom Koehler allowed one run over six innings, but the Marlins lost to the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

The loss is hard to pin on Koehler, who allowed only a solo home run to Gerardo Parra leading off the game. Over the rest of the night, Koehler surrendered just two hits and two walks while striking out seven. The right-hander hasn't been bad this year, and he should garner another start despite behind landed the loss. He's in line to take the mound again on Friday against the White Sox.

Mike Moustakas - 3B - Royals

Royals manager Ned Yost said Saturday that he's not going to stop giving Mike Moustakas playing time despite his early-season struggles.

"The kid is going to be fine," Yost said. "Yes, he’s fighting it right now. They’re all fighting it." It's encouraging to hear from the manager, considering Moustakas was hitting .189/.261/.331 heading into Saturday's action. There were high hopes for the 24-year old third baseman heading into the 2013 season, and there's still plenty of time for him to turn it around and make a positive impact this year.

Ryan Flaherty - 2B - Orioles

Orioles optioned INF Ryan Flaherty to Triple-A Norfolk.

A corresponding move will come on Sunday. Flaherty was hitting .133/.228/.233 in 90 at-bats this year.

Jose Molina - C - Rays

Jose Molina said he was "OK" after Saturday's game after exiting due to left hamstring tightness.

It sounds like Molina could be in the lineup Sunday. Either way, he's just day-to-day and nothing more at this point.

Mark Trumbo - 1B - Angels

Mark Trumbo slugged his 10th home run of the season Saturday in the Angels' 12-9 win over the White Sox.

Trumbo's solo shot in the bottom of the fourth inning completely threw off White Sox starter Hector Santiago, who had been on a roll. Trumbo then added a run-scoring double in the fifth against White Sox reliever Nate Jones. Trumbo is currently on pace for 38 homers and 109 RBI, and he's talented enough to come at least somewhat close to those totals.
May 18 - 8:10 PM
Hector Santiago - R - White Sox

Hector Santiago lasted only 3 1/3 innings Saturday as the White Sox fell to the Angels.

Santiago cruised through the first three innings but simply lost it in the fourth after yielding a solo home run to Mark Trumbo to lead off the frame. His ERA jumped from 2.23 to 2.78 and his WHIP moved from 1.08 to 1.21. The regression should have been expected. Santiago will try to bounce back next week in an easy outing against the Marlins.
