Bay (concussion) likely headed for 7-day DL

Mets manager Terry Collins said Jason Bay (concussion) was woozy after leaving Friday's game and was taken home by security personnel.

Bay was being checked out for a possible concussion after slamming his head and neck into the left field fence while attempting a diving catch Friday night. The 33-year-old missed the final two months of the 2010 season with post-concussion symptoms, so he will almost certainly be placed on the 7-day disabled list. Justin Turner (ankle) is currently rehabbing with Triple-A Buffalo and is a candidate to replace him on the active roster.

Jose Bautista homers twice in Blue Jays' win

A one-man offense, Jose Bautista went 4-for-4 with two homers and a game-winning hit in the bottom of the 10th as the Blue Jays edged the Rays 4-3 on Wednesday.

Bautista singled in the Jays' first run in the first, homered in the fourth, homered again off Fernando Rodney to tie it in the ninth and then hit a little liner to right to end the game in the 10th. The four-hit game was Bautista's first since July 27, 2010. He hadn't even had a three-hit game in a year -- oddly enough, his last one came May 22, 2012 against the same Rays team.

Fernando Rodney blows save, gets pulled

Fernando Rodney took his fourth blown save in giving up a Jose Bautista solo homer Wednesday against the Jays.

That alone would hardly be grounds for termination. Rays manager Joe Maddon, though, showed zero confidence in Rodney when he pulled him in favor of Joel Peralta after Adam Lind's one-out walk. If Rodney loses his job over this one, it'd most likely be a short-term move; he's get every opportunity to win it right back if he shows better command. Peralta would be in line for saves in his place.

Maybin beginning rehab assignment Friday

Cameron Maybin (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tucson on Friday.

The Padres want Maybin to get around 30 rehab at-bats, so he should return sometime next week. The outfielder has been sidelined since mid-April with a nagging right wrist ailment.

Quentin out again Wednesday after injection

Carlos Quentin is out of the Padres' lineup again Wednesday after receiving an injection in his left knee Tuesday.

The Padres were expecting Quentin to miss just one game after he aggravated his chronic knee injury on an awkward slide Monday. They changed their minds, though, deciding to give him the injection in hopes that he'll be ready on Friday after Thursday's off day. Jesus Guzman is playing left field Wednesday.

Freese (thumb) sitting out again Wednesday

David Freese (thumb) is out of the Cardinals' lineup again Wednesday.

He's now missed three straight games due to swelling around his right thumb where he needed three stitches for a small cut. The Cards are worried that cut could split open, so they're playing things cautiously. Freese could be back in there Friday after the off day Thursday. Matt Carpenter is at third again Wednesday, with Daniel Descalso covering second.

Youkilis 'getting closer' to playing in game

Kevin Youkilis (back) took six at-bats in a simulated game Wednesday.

It was reported previously that Youkilis played in an extended spring game Tuesday, but that was actually also a simulated game. It's not clear when he'll be ready to play in a real game, but he's not far off. "I can’t tell you," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "I think you have to give him a few days in a row before you evaluate to make sure that his back is healed and it doesn’t come back. The last two days have been pretty good, so he’s getting closer."

Pettitte to resume throwing Thursday or Fri.

Andy Pettitte (trapezius) will play catch either Thursday or Friday.

It will be the first time he's thrown since landing on the DL last week with a strained trapezius muscle. "Then we’ll do some long toss, a bullpen and hopefully work it up to a simulated game," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Pettitte is expected back on June 1, the first day he's eligible, or shortly after that.

Weaver (elbow) sharp in extended spring start

Jered Weaver (elbow) threw 5 2/3 innings Wednesday afternoon in a start at extended spring training.

Weaver allowed just one run and did not walk a batter while striking out nine. He threw 75 pitches, 62 of which were strikes. The right-hander is likely to rejoin the Angels' starting rotation early next week after missing the past month-plus with a fractured left elbow.

Salvador Perez (hip) out again on Wednesday

Salvador Perez (hip) is not in the Royals' starting lineup on Wednesday night against the Astros.

Perez also sat out Tuesday after bruising his right hip Monday while sliding into a dugout post at Minute Maid Park. The Royals are hoping that he will be able to play in Thursday's series opener against the Angels.

Schoop diagnosed with stress fracture in back

Jonathan Schoop has been diagnosed with a stress fracture in his back and will need 6-8 weeks of rest.

Schoop will meet with another doctor later this week for a second opinion, but it seems doubtful that the diagnosis will change. The 21-year-old infielder was batting .268/.331/.386 with three homers and 18 RBI in 34 games at the Triple-A level. It is no longer a certainty that he will reach the major leagues this season.

Dominguez (quad) out of Astros' lineup Wed.

Matt Dominguez is out of the Astros' lineup on Wednesday night because of left quad tightness.

The Astros have a scheduled team off day on Thursday, so giving Dominguez the night off Wednesday affords him two full days of rest. The 23-year-old third baseman is batting just .245/.275/.371 in 43 games this season but he's one of the best defensive infielders in MLB.
