Carlos Santana went 1-for-2 with four walks in Thursday's blowout win against the Boston.

He also scored three runs. Santana owners enjoyed a spectacular April out of their star catcher and then suffered through a rough May prior to Wednesday (182/.316/.333). In Cleveland's last two games, Santana is 3-for-6 with a homer, five walks, two RBI and four runs. He's third in the AL in walks (29) and fourth in OPS (.975).

Mark Reynolds went 3-for-4 with a walk, the RBI and a run scored in Thursday's win over the Red Sox.

As has been the case for most of the season, Reynolds hit the ball with authority. Reynolds' batting average has dropped off somewhat, but .261 is far better than his owners expected out of the .236 career hitter. Through 45 games played, Reynolds is fifth in the AL with 12 homers, fourth in RBI with 40 and 10th in slugging with a .535 mark.

Zach McAllister permitted three runs on five hits and three walks over five frames in Thursday's 12-3 drubbing of the Red Sox.

McAllister was hardly sharp, but in a game where Cleveland had 12 runs before he was pulled, he didn't really have to be. The 25-year-old right-hander saw his streak of four straight starts allowing two runs or fewer snapped, but improved to 4-3 nonetheless. McAllister holds a 2.89 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 39/17 K/BB rate over nine starts.

Will Middlebrooks is considered day-to-day with lower back spasms.

Middlebrooks initially hurt his back Wednesday, and the ailment forced him from Thursday's game after it acted up again. It sounds like he'll be fine in a day or two.

Darren Oliver said Thursday that he's been dealing with a sore pitching shoulder for the last 7-10 days.

Oliver has allowed a run in each of his last two appearances. When asked if he might need a DL stint, the lefty didn't dismiss the possibility. "I don’t know," he said. "I’m sure we’ll talk about it at some point." Consider him day-to-day for now.

Drew Stubbs tripled, doubled twice and drove in three runs as the Indians beat the Red Sox 12-3 on Thursday.

Stubbs merits as an everyday right fielder can be debated, but he is hitting better than he did last year, with a .255/.304/.403 line through 149 at-bats. And fortunately for his fantasy owners, the Indians lineup has been better than expected, giving him more chances to score and drive in runs from the ninth spot than anticipated.

Ryan Dempster was pulled after giving up four runs in three innings Thursday against the Indians.

Dempster has been roughed up in three straight outings (15 earned runs in 12 2/3 innings) after opening the season with a 2.93 ERA in seven starts. He's not going to be worth using in mixed leagues until he turns it around.
May 23 - 10:54 PM

Michael Bourn went 3-for-6 with a double and two RBI against the Red Sox on Thursday.

Having no trouble adjusting to the league switch, Bourn is batting .320 through 97 at-bats this season. His career high is .294 from 2011, and he finished at .274 last year with the Braves.
