Brandon Kintzler - R - Twins

Brandon Kintzler allowed a home run in the ninth inning but held on to earn a save during a 5-3 win over the Rays on Saturday.

He was protecting a three-run lead, so the solo home run by Colby Rasmus didn't have much impact. Kintzler now has 13 saves against just one blown save. He has a splendid 2.05 ERA with 14 strikeouts in 22 innings pitched.
May 27 - 6:26 PM
Adalberto Mejia - S - Twins

Adalberto Mejia gave up two runs in five innings and settled for a no-decision against the Rays on Saturday.

He pitched well in his fourth major-league start. Both runs were driven in by Rays' catcher Derek Norris. The first one came on a second-inning single, the second one on a fourth-inning sacrifice fly. The 23-year-old Mejia surrendered six base hits and two walks while notching six strikeouts. He has a 4.64 ERA with 19 strikeouts and 12 walks in 21 1/3 innings.
May 27 - 6:22 PM
Corey Kluber - S - Indians

Corey Kluber (back) will return to the Indians' rotation Thursday against the Athletics.

Kluber dominated in Friday's rehab outing for Double-A Akron (5 IP, 1 H, 0 R) and that was all manager Terry Francona needed to see. The former Cy Young winner missed most of May while dealing with lower back discomfort. His return will probably bump Mike Clevinger from the starting rotation.

Eddie Rosario - OF - Twins

Eddie Rosario went 2-for-3 and lined a solo home run in Saturday's win over the Rays.

His homer off Rays' starter Jake Odorizzi tied the game at two runs apiece in the fourth inning. The 25-year-old outfielder has a .257 batting average with four home runs and 12 RBI in 43 games.
May 27 - 6:16 PM
Adam Jones - OF - Orioles

Updating an earlier report, Adam Jones is out with a left ankle injury and a sore hip.

Jones was given the day off Saturday against the Astros and will be reevaluated on Sunday. The hip issue is nothing new as Jones missed a game with a similar injury earlier this month. His absence spells more bad news for an Orioles team in the midst of a six-game losing streak.

Brian Dozier - 2B - Twins

Brian Dozier hit a two-run bomb in a win over the Rays on Saturday.

His longball off reliever Tommy Hunter broke open a tie game in the eighth inning and his club would hold on to win the game. Dozier went 1-for-3 and walked twice in the contest. He has a .255 batting average with seven homers, 22 runs, 19 RBI and seven steals. He has been caught stealing five times. He will need to pick up the pace if he wants to come anywhere close to the 42 dingers he hit last year.
May 27 - 6:12 PM
Ben Zobrist - OF - Cubs

Updating an earlier report, Ben Zobrist is out with a sore wrist.

Rookie Ian Happ is spelling him at second base Saturday against the Dodgers but Zobrist should be available off the bench. Consider him day-to-day.

Colby Rasmus - OF - Rays

Colby Rasmus went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in a loss against the Twins on Saturday.

He did not start the game because the Twins were starting a left-hander. He was called upon to pinch-hit for Peter Bourjos leading off the seventh inning. He grounded out in that at-bat and then hit the home run in the ninth inning off Twins closer Brandon Kintzler. Rasmus missed the first month of the season with a hip injury but has played well since being activated. He is batting .254/.315/.582 with six homers and 15 RBI in 67 at-bats.
