Mike Baxter - OF - Mets

Mike Baxter left Friday's game against the Cardinals in the seventh inning with an apparent injury to his left arm.

Baxter suffered the injury when he slammed into the left field wall after making a tremendous running catch. Kirk Nieuwenhuis slid over to left field to replace him while Andres Torres entered the game to play center. Stay tuned for an update on Baxter's status.

Chris Young - S - Mets

Chris Young said Friday that he plans on making two more starts at Triple-A Buffalo on regular rest.

Although his velocity has been extremely low, he's been effective so far on his rehab assignment. Assuming no setbacks, there's a possibility that he could join the Mets rotation in two weeks. He's always been a good big league pitcher when healthy, and could be worth a look in deeper mixed and NL-only leagues.

Pablo Sandoval - 3B - Giants

Pablo Sandoval (hand) could begin a minor league rehab assignment this weekend with High-A San Jose.

Giants manager Bruce Bochy said that he'll likely need 4-5 games before rejoining the Giants. Assuming no setbacks, this means he could be back with the team as early as next weekend if all goes well. He was initially given a 4-6 week timetable for his recovery, and he's quickly approaching the four week mark.

LaTroy Hawkins - R - Angels

LaTroy Hawkins (finger) threw a 20-pitch simulated game on Friday and will likely begin a rehab assignment on Sunday.

He looks on track rejoin the Angels bullpen within the first two weeks of June. With as well as Ernesto Frieri and Scott Downs have been pitching in the ninth inning, Hawkins will return to his familiar setup role.

Stephen Strasburg - S - Nationals

As expected, Stephen Strasburg will start on Saturday after having his start against the Braves postponed on Friday.

The entire rotation will simply get pushed back one day. Gio Gonzalez will take the ball on Sunday, while Jordan Zimmermann will get pushed back until Monday.

David Wright - 3B - Mets

David Wright spoke on the Mets' pregame show on Friday, stating that he will not discuss a contract extension during the season.

He made it clear that he will resume talks in the offseason only. While it would be beneficial and cost effective for the Mets to lock up Wright as early as possible, it looks like they'll have to wait until after the season. If no extension is reached, Wright is slated to become a free agent after the 2013 season.

Mike Minor - S - Braves

The Braves will utilize Friday's postponement to skip the struggling Mike Minor in their rotation.

Minor will pitch next on Thursday against the Marlins in Miami. Brandon Beachy and Tommy Hanson will pitch on their regularly scheduled days on Saturday and Sunday against the Nationals.

Nick Markakis - OF - Orioles

Nick Markakis (hamate bone surgery) said Friday that he is hopeful he'll be able to return to the team during their nine-game homestand beginning on June 22.

The early estimate for his return was pegged at 3-6 weeks, so this updated timetable seems plausible. Markakis vows to work feverishly to return as quickly as his body will allow him to. He will remain with the team over the weekend before revisiting the doctor on Monday to remove the gauze and bandaging on his hand.
