Daniel Hudson - S - Diamondbacks

Daniel Hudson (elbow) gave up two runs on five hits over four innings in an extended spring training game on Friday.

It's the first time since last year's Tommy John surgery that Hudson has faced hitters wearing a different uniform. The D'Backs says the righty's fastball sat in the 91-93 mph range, which is obviously a good sign. "The light at the end of the tunnel is getting a little bit brighter now," Hudson said. Hudson will appear in another extended spring game next week and doesn't appear far off from a rehab assignment. He could be back as soon as late June if all goes well, though the big club doesn't currently have room for him in the rotation.

Cole De Vries - S - Twins

Twins activated RHP Cole De Vries from the 15-day disabled list, optioned him to Triple-A Rochester.

De Vries is over his forearm ailment, but the Twins aren't ready to add him to the rotation yet. However, with much of their starting five struggling, it might only be a matter of time before he gets a shot.

Michael Morse - OF - Mariners

Michael Morse went 0-for-4 at the plate in his return to action Saturday.

Morse was scratched from Friday's game with irritation in one of his eyes, but he'll be fine. The outfielder is batting .254/.316/.493 with 10 homers this season.

Maicer Izturis - 2B - Blue Jays

Maicer Izturis went 1-for-4 with a single in Saturday's loss to the Yankees.

Izturis isn't walking or making contact this season, and you already know his swing is punchless. Toronto was hoping for more than a .218/.242/.331 slash line when they signed Izturis from the Angels over the winter to a three-year, $9 million deal and the Jays recently sat him in three of four games.

Tommy Hunter - R - Orioles

Tommy Hunter hurled 2 2/3 scoreless innings in relief of Jair Jurrjens to record his first hold of 2013 in Baltimore's 10-6 loss Saturday.

Hunter finished with a 5.45 ERA in 2012 and a 4.68 ERA in 2011, mostly as a starter. He's a better bullpen fit, where he's posted a 1.54 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 18/4 K/BB rate to go with a 3-1 record and a save over 23 1/3 innings. If Hunter keeps it up, Baltimore is likely to increase his usage to higher-leverage situations.

Luke Scott - DH - Rays

Luke Scott finished 0-for-3 with a pair of walks and an RBI during Saturday's 10-6 victory over the O's.

Scott missed most of April with a strained calf, but he's swiftly made up for lost time, batting .302/.439/.465 in 16 games. He's seeing the ball well, walking nine times in his last eight games. The 34-year-old is likely available in your mixed league and deserves consideration if you're in need of a bench bat.
May 19 - 4:32 AM
Donald Lutz - OF - Reds

Donald Lutz logged his first career multi-hit game in Saturday's 10-0 demolition of the Phillies.

Lutz went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored. He's batting .290 with a .419 slugging percentage through 31 at-bats, but Lutz has yet to take a walk. Lutz had 20-plus home runs in two straight minor league seasons and has displayed NL-only upside when given an opportunity, knocking in six runs, jacking a home run and stealing a pair of bases. He'll likely have to wait until 2014, at least, to become fantasy relevant.

Oliver Perez - R - Mariners

Oliver Perez took the loss in Saturday's game against the Indians after he allowed a run on two hits and a walk without recording an out.

Perez had been lights out prior to last night and this is the first update we've done on him in 2013. Such is life as a middle reliever. Those of us that snickered when Seattle signed Ollie in 2012 -- each and every one of us, in other words -- have been silenced. The formerly maligned left-hander from Mexico put up a 2.12 ERA in 2012 and currently sits at 1.62 in 2013. After years spent as an overpaid source of angst for Mets fans, Perez has proved a great bargain in the Northwest.
