Coco Crisp - OF - Athletics

Coco Crisp is back in the Athletics' lineup Friday.

Crisp pinch-hit on Wednesday and Thursday, but this is his first start Sunday due to a minor hamstring issue. He's batting .292/.455/.500 with one homer and four steals for the A's this season.

Edwin Escobar - S - Giants

Giants prospect LHP Edwin Escobar has gotten off to a slow start this season, posting an 8.53 ERA through his first 12 2/3 innings for Triple-A Fresno.

The 21-year-old has allowed a total of 22 hits over his three starts this season, and opposing hitters are raking against him at a .379 clip. However, none of those 22 hits have left the yard (which is all the more impressive considering Fresno plays in the notoriously hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League), and Escobar has still posted an impressive 17/4 strikeout-to-walk ratio. The left-hander profiles as a No. 4 or 5 starter in the major leagues and should debut with the Giants at some point this season.

Jeremy Jeffress - R - Blue Jays

Yahoo! Sports' Jeff Passan reports that Jeremy Jeffress is expected to sign a minor league deal with the Brewers.

Passan says Jeffress was spotted at the Brewers' spring training complex. Jeffress is a former first-round pick of the Brewers and cracked the majors with them before being sent to the Royals as part of the Zack Greinke deal.

Sean Doolittle - R - Athletics

Athletics signed LHP Sean Doolittle to a four-year contract extension.

The deal was announced as a five-year contract, but it includes this season. The A's will also have club options for 2019 and 2020. The financials of the contract are not yet known. Doolittle would have been eligible for arbitration for the first time this winter, so the new deal will buy out his arbitration years and possibly his first two years of free agency. Doolittle holds a 3.10 ERA with 129 strikeouts over 125 innings over his first 122 relief appearances for the A's.

Mac Williamson - OF - Giants

Giants prospect OF Mac Williamson was 2-for-3 with a double, home run and three runs on Thursday for High-A San Jose.

The home runs was Williamson's first of the season, and he's now batting .235/.371/.737 with five extra-base hits, four steals and a 9/9 strikeout-to-walk ratio through 15 games. The 23-year-old outfielder spent all of 2013 at San Jose and put up big numbers (albeit as an older player in the hitter-friendly California League), batting .292/.375/.504 with 31 doubles, 25 home runs, 10 stolen bases and 132/51 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 136 games. Williamson's power profiles nicely as a big-league corner outfielder, but there's doubt as to whether his bat will develop enough to get there.

Will Middlebrooks - 3B - Red Sox

Will Middlebrooks (calf) will begin a rehab assignment in the middle of next week.

He had been in line to begin one over the weekend, but he's been set back a few days due to the flu. Barring any more setbacks, Middlebrooks should still be ready for activation before the end of the month.

Cuddyer expected to miss at least one game after leaving Thursday's contest with a left hamstring cramp. He should be back in there over the weekend. Charlie Blackmon is in right field Friday, with Drew Stubbs in center.
