Zach Rosscup - R - Cubs

Cubs recalled LHP Zach Rosscup from Triple-A Iowa.

Rosscup was unscored upon in his four relief frames for the Cubs earlier this season. He'll be used in the middle innings.

Blake Parker - R - Cubs

Cubs optioned RHP Blake Parker to Triple-A Iowa.

Parker has allowed six runs over 5 2/3 relief innings for the Cubbies this season. He's being replaced in the bullpen by Zach Rosscup.

Marlon Byrd - OF - Phillies

ESPN's Jerry Crasnick reports that the Mariners recently scouted Marlon Byrd.

The M's are in the market for a right-handed power bat, and Byrd certainly fits the profile. The 36-year-old has slugged 18 homers and driven in 52 runs this season while sporting a .261/.313/.481 batting line. He's in the first year of a two-year, $16 million contract with the Phillies.

Bobby Korecky - R - Blue Jays

Blue Jays designated RHP Bobby Korecky for assignment.

The move was made in order to clear room on the 40-man roster for the addition of Dan Johnson. Korecky has allowed three runs over 3 1/3 relief frames for the Jays this season. He seems likely to clear waivers.

Adam Lind - DH - Blue Jays

Blue Jays placed 1B/DH Adam Lind on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 8, with a non-displaced fracture in his right foot.

Lind played through the ailment for a while before finally undergoing an MRI, which revealed the fracture. He's expected to miss the next 6-8 weeks. Dan Johnson has replaced Lind on the roster.

Dan Johnson - DH - Blue Jays

Blue Jays purchased the contract of 1B/DH Dan Johnson from Triple-A Buffalo.

They need someone to take the roster spot of Adam Lind (foot), who is headed to the DL. Johnson has batted .248/.402/.471 with 17 homers over 94 games this season for Triple-A Buffalo. He would figure to see plenty of playing time at first base and the DH spot and is worth scooping up in AL-only leagues.

A.J. Pierzynski - C - Red Sox

Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the Cardinals are not interested in A.J. Pierzynski.

It was natural to connect the recently designated for assignment Pierzynski to the Cards following Yadier Molina's thumb injury, but there doesn't appear to be a fit. Pierzynski hit only .254/.286/.348 for the Red Sox and reportedly did not fit in well in their clubhouse.

George Kottaras - C - Indians

Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that George Kottaras is "of interest" to the Cardinals.

The Cards, of course, are looking for a catcher following Yadier Molina's thumb surgery. Goold notes that Kottaras, who was designated for assignment by the Indians earlier this week, "has done well offensively" and "has a solid reputation in the game and experience at the position." Another catcher who could interest the Cardinals is John Buck, who was also just designated for assignment. They could also consider a trade for Kurt Suzuki. Goold says the club does not have interest in A.J. Pierzynski.
