Adeiny Hechavarria - SS - Marlins

Adeiny Hechavarria went 0-for-4 at the plate in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies, watching his average drop to .193.

We can hardly blame Hechavarria for not getting a hit against Cliff Lee, but his 0-for-4's have hardly been a rare occurrence. The slick-fielding shortstop had a seven-RBI game earlier this month shortly after returning from the disabled list, but his offense has pretty much been non-existent otherwise.

D.J. LeMahieu - 2B - Rockies

D.J. LeMahieu is expected to take over as the Rockies' starting second baseman following the demotion of Josh Rutledge.

Rutledge's recent slump and LeMahieu's .412/.444/.529 batting line early on, along with his solid defense, has convinced the Rockies to make a change. LeMahieu is a .294 career hitter over 125 games, but he offers next to nothing in the power and speed departments, making him worthy of picking up only in NL-only formats.

Josh Rutledge - 2B - Rockies

Rockies optioned 2B Josh Rutledge to Triple-A Colorado Springs.

Manager Walt Weiss indicated recently that he was going to stick with Rutledge through his slump, but evidently he had a change of heart. The second baseman sports just a .242/.298/.357 batting line for the season and is hitting only .206/.250/.294 over his last 11 games. The Rox appeared poised to go with D.J. LeMahieu at second base for now.

Bud Norris - S - Astros

Bud Norris (back) expects to make his next scheduled start.

Norris has left each of his last two starts with lower back spasms, but both times his removal was considered precautionary. He received massage treatment Wednesday and thinks "the prevention process of taking care of it now and getting me out of the game will help." Assuming he doesn't have a setback over the next few days, the righty will likely face the Rockies on Monday.

Hiroki Kuroda - S - Yankees

Hiroki Kuroda left Wednesday's start against the Orioles in the third inning with a bruised right calf.

Kuroda was hit on the calf by a comebacker in the previous inning, and it evidently tightened up on him. All things considered, it's good news for the Yankees, though it remains to be seen if Kuroda will be ready for his next start. He was charged with five runs on eight hits over two frames before exiting.

Kevin Slowey - S - Marlins

Kevin Slowey left Wednesday's start against the Phillies after the fifth inning with a left lat strain.

The Marlins are calling him day-to-day, so it's evidently a minor strain. Still, he'll likely be re-evaluated on Thursday before it's determined whether he can make his next start. Slowey was pitching well Wednesday before getting hurt, tossing five innings of one-run ball on six hits and no walks while recording six strikeouts.

Kevin Slowey - S - Marlins

Kevin Slowey had to leave Wednesday's start against the Phillies after the fifth inning with an apparent injury.

Slowey was warming up before the top of the sixth before manager Mike Redmond and the trainer visited him on the mound. After a brief discussion, the righty exited the field. It's not clear at this point what ailment he's dealing with. Slowey allowed just one run over five frames before exiting.

Hiroki Kuroda - S - Yankees

Hiroki Kuroda left Wednesday's start against the Orioles in the third inning with an apparent injury.

Kuroda was hit on the calf by a comeback in the previous inning, but some are speculating that his back might be the issue. The Yankees will provide an update on his status soon. It would be yet another big injury blow to the Bombers if Kuroda has to miss significant time.
