Ryan Mattheus is expected to be sidelined 4-6 weeks with a fractured right hand.

Mattheus won't require surgery, but since the injury is to his pitching hand he can't do a whole lot while out. He'll have to build his arm strength back up once out of his cast.

Blue Jays transferred LHP J.A. Happ from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

Happ was hoping to make it back by mid-June, but he now won't be eligible to return until early July. The left-hander is coming back from a small fracture behind his left ear as well as a sprained right knee.
May 24 - 11:05 AM

Blue Jays purchased the contract of LHP Sean Nolin from Double-A New Hampshire.

Nolin will make his major league debut on Friday against the Orioles. A sixth-round pick in 2010, he has posted a 1.17 ERA and 16/5 K/BB ratio in 15 1/3 innings this season at the Double-A level. The southpaw is worth a look in deeper AL-only formats.
May 24 - 11:01 AM

Blue Jays placed LHP Darren Oliver on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 19. with a left shoulder strain.

Oliver has been dealing with the ailment for 7-10 and hadn't appeared in a game in nearly a week. He shouldn't be out long, but the Jays have decided to play things safe. Toronto still has two lefties in the bullpen in Aaron Loup and Brett Cecil.

Nick Tepesch (blister) has been cleared to start Sunday in Seattle.

Tepesch had to be scratched from his last start due to a blister on his right middle finger, but he's fine now. The right-hander holds a 3.98 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over eight starts this season and isn't a bad streaming option for Sunday.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Rick Hummel writes that Jake Westbrook (elbow) "does not seem to be seriously hurt but his rehabilitation program may be dialed back a little."

Westbrook tried throwing from a mound Wednesday for the first time since landing on the DL but had to stop after 20 pitches due to lingering pain in his right elbow. The Cardinals don't believe he has structural damage in the elbow, but clearly he's not ready to return anytime soon. It's not clear what the next step for the right-hander is.
May 24 - 9:38 AM

Chad Gaudin could get a shot in the Giants' rotation following the injury to Ryan Vogelsong (hand).

Gaudin has been great in long relief for San Francisco this season, posting a 2.08 ERA and 1.19 WHIP while striking out nearly a batter per inning. He's thrown more than two innings just once this month, though, so he's obviously not as stretched out as you'd hope. Manager Bruce Bochy and GM Brian Sabean have also noted that Gaudin is very valuable in his current role. Other options to replace Vogelsong include Shane Loux and Mike Kickham.
May 24 - 9:27 AM

Royals manager Ned Yost said Jarrod Dyson (ankle) is likely "at least three weeks" away from returning.

Dyson is dealing with a high right ankle sprain. He had been receiving more starts before the injury and again could threaten Jeff Francoeur for playing time once healthy.
