D.J. Short looks at the recent success of Jorge De La Rosa and evaluates a number of September call-ups in this week's Waiver Wired.

 John Maine-S-MetsSep. 2 - 3:27 pm et
Mets transferred RHP John Maine from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.
Maine underwent season-ending shoulder surgery in July and is expected to be non-tendered by the Mets in December. He was cleared in order to make room for Mike Nickeas on the roster.
 Dallas Braden-S-AthleticsSep. 2 - 3:01 pm et
Dallas Braden left Thursday's game against the Yankees with cramps.
Insert punchline here. More specifically, he experienced some cramping due to the heat. We think he'll be fine for his next start. Braden allowed one run over five innings while striking out four, walking two and hitting a batter.

 Dallas Braden-S-AthleticsSep. 2 - 2:40 pm et
Dallas Braden left Thursday's game in the sixth inning with an apparent injury.
Braden hit Derek Jeter to begin the sixth inning and then was pulled from the game after throwing a pitch to Curtis Granderson. He was replaced by Jerry Blevins. No word on the nature of the injury, but we should have something relatively soon. Braden was responsible for Jeter when he left, but allowed one run over the first five innings.

 Alex Rodriguez-3B-YankeesSep. 2 - 2:28 pm et
Jon Heyman of SI.com confirms that Alex Rodriguez fired Scott Boras as his agent.
According to Heyman, Rodriguez fired Boras via letter 45 days ago and has been "spending time" with Hollywood agent Guy Oseary. It isn't clear who his baseball agent is, but he is under contract through 2017. It should be the last contract of his career. Craig Calcaterra of NBCSports.com reported earlier today that Rodriguez is now represented by Pittsburgh attorney Jay Reisinger.

 Nick Swisher-OF-YankeesSep. 2 - 2:13 pm et
Nick Swisher left Thursday's game with stiffness in his left knee.
Jack Curry of YES Network passed along the information first. We hope to get an update on his status after the game.

 Carlos Delgado-1B-Red SoxSep. 2 - 2:03 pm et
Carlos Delgado has a small muscle tear in his left hip, according to his agent David Sloane.
Delgado flew to Colorado on Wednesday in order to be examined by Dr. Marc Phillipon, who performed his previous two hip surgeries. He'll return to Pawtucket in order to go over the potential treatment options, however surgery hasn't been ruled out. "He felt fine when he signed," said Sloane. "He was playing. He was headed in right direction. All of a sudden, he felt pain there. Everything at this point is up in the air. He’s going to need some time to think about the next step." One wonders if that next step might be retirement.

 Nick Swisher-OF-YankeesSep. 2 - 1:30 pm et
Nick Swisher left Thursday's game against the Athletics after the first inning for an undisclosed reason.
Swisher grounded out in the bottom of the first inning, but it was hard to notice any injury on the play. Curtis Granderson entered the game in the top of the second inning to play center field, while Austin Kearns moved to right field and Brett Gardner switched over to left. We'll pass along an update once we get it.
