Paul Blackburn - S - Athletics

Paul Blackburn was lifted from his start Tuesday against the Orioles after taking a comebacker off his right (throwing) arm.

Blackburn looked to be in serious pain as he headed into the visitors dugout at Camden Yards. He had worked four scoreless innings against the host Orioles. Look for an update soon.

Will Harris - R - Astros

Will Harris (shoulder) worked a 1-2-3 inning in his rehab debut Tuesday with Double-A Corpus Christi.

Harris needed just seven pitches to get through the scoreless, hitless frame. The 32-year-old right-hander will probably make one or two more appearances in the minors before returning to the Astros' bullpen. He boasts a 2.86 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and 39/5 K/BB ratio in 34 2/3 innings this season at the major league level.

Hisashi Iwakuma - S - Mariners

Mariners manager Scott Servais said Hisashi Iwakuma (shoulder) looked only "OK" in his bullpen session Monday.

"He’ll probably throw another bullpen," Servais told reporters after the workout. "We’re running out of time. Guys have to be able to ramp it up pretty quickly to have any chance to make an impact for us down the stretch ... Last time, Kuma got to this point, then he got to the simulated game, we put a hitter in there, and it was like, `Whoa, this isn’t even close.’ It didn’t feel good." The veteran right-hander has been out since early May and there is no timetable for him to embark on a minor league rehab assignment. He might not make it back this year.

Austin Slater - OF - Giants

Austin Slater (hip) expects to begin playing in rehab games in 10-14 days.

Most of the Giants' minor league affiliates will have concluded their seasons by then, but that's not a major issue as the organization figures to play things cautiously with the 24-year-old outfielder. He can play in simulated games in Arizona if need be. There's no guarantee Slater will return to San Francisco in 2017.

Johnny Cueto - S - Giants

Johnny Cueto (forearm) is expected to go three innings Tuesday night at Triple-A Sacramento.

Cueto was supposed to resume his minor league rehab assignment on Monday, but he came down with a minor illness so the Giants pushed him back one day. Cueto will probably need to stretch out to six innings in the minors before the out-of-contention Giants activate him off the disabled list. He's been out since mid-July.

Keone Kela - R - Rangers

Keone Kela (shoulder) remains shut down from throwing.

Kela has been bothered by shoulder discomfort since late June and he landed back on the disabled list August 8, retroactive to August 5, after yet another flareup. It's beginning to look like he might not return this season.

Giancarlo Stanton - OF - Marlins

Giancarlo Stanton clubbed his 46th home run of the season as the Marlins defeated the Phillies 12-8 in the first half of Monday's split doubleheader.

Stanton roped an RBI double in the top of the fifth inning to put Miami up 3-2 and then contributed a solo blast to the Marlins' six-run outburst in the top of the seventh. He finished the early game 2-for-5 and will bat second for the Fish in the nightcap.
Aug 22 - 7:34 PM
Marcell Ozuna - OF - Marlins

Marcell Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a homer, two RBI, a walk, and two runs scored as the Marlins beat the Phillies in the first half of Tuesday's doubleheader.

Ozuna contributed a two-run blast to the Marlins' six-run seventh inning before scoring on J.T. Realmuto's three-run bomb in the top of the ninth. There were a total of nine home runs in the early game at Citizens Bank Park. Ozuna is up to 28 dingers and 95 RBI.
