Jose Altuve exits game with hamstring injury

Jose Altuve left Sunday's game with a strained right hamstring.

Altuve limped off the field alongside a trainer after running out a groundball. It's not clear how long he'll be out, but hamstring strains more often than not send players to the DL. Brian Bixler took Altuve's spot at second base.

Michael Brantley homers twice in Indians' win

Michael Brantley had a pair of solo homers and three RBI in Wednesday's win over the Royals.

Brantley's solo shot to lead off the fifth was the Tribe's first hit of the game, and his solo blast in the eighth extended their lead to 6-2. The outfielder entered the night hitting just .173/.241/.192 with one extra-base hit in June, so it was a much-needed breakout.

Puig homers again, Dodgers split doubleheader

Yasiel Puig went 2-for-4 with a home run, leading the Dodgers to a 6-0 victory over the Yankees in the second half of Wednesday's doubleheader in New York.

Puig was 2-for-5 in the early game but the Dodgers lost 6-4. The young Cuban phenom is batting .474/.500/.789 with five home runs, two stolen bases, 11 runs scored and 11 RBI over his first 59 plate appearances in the major leagues. He is already a fantasy monster.

A.J. Burnett 'has been nowhere near a mound'

Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said A.J. Burnett (calf) "has been nowhere near a mound" since being placed on the disabled list.

Burnett hasn't pitched since June 8, and it appears he's not terribly close to being activated. "We're working on flexibility, mobility and strengthening," Hurdle said. "That's not to say that can't change in another 24 hours with A.J. He's really tried to not do some things at all and do a lot of things. As far as his rehab goes, he didn't want to do anything as far as moving around other than strengthening, loosening and working on the flexion part of it."

Manny Ramirez would like to return to MLB

Manny Ramirez's agent, Barry Praver, told FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi Wednesday that his client would like to return to Major League Baseball.

Ramirez has been taken off the roster of the EDA Rhinos of the Chinese Professional Baseball League after batting .352/.422/.555 with eight home runs and 43 RBI in 206 plate appearances. There's been speculation that the 41-year-old could go to Japan, but his first choice would surely be to return to the states. Whether anyone would have interest in him remains to be seen.

Trevor Cahill expected to make next start

Trevor Cahill (hip) is expected to be ready for his next start.

Cahill had to leave Wednesday's game after taking a first-inning Marcell Ozuna line drive off his right hip. His removal was a precaution, though, and he'll be fine for a start early next week against the Nationals.

Rockies to option Jeff Francis to Triple-A

The Rockies will option Jeff Francis to Triple-A Colorado Springs prior to Thursday's game.

The move won't be made official until the Rockies call up Roy Oswalt. The club is hoping that Francis will agree to stick around for depth, but he has the option of choosing free agency because of his major league service time. He's put up a 6.58 ERA and 1.56 WHIP this season and wouldn't figure to net a major league deal elsewhere.

Jeter (ankle) takes round of BP down in Tampa

Derek Jeter (ankle) took batting practice Wednesday for the first time since his second ankle fracture.

It's another big step for the rehabbing shortstop, who is working out at the Yankees' spring training complex in Tampa, Florida. Jeter has been hitting off a tee and doing light fielding drills for about a week and is currently on track to return to the Yankees' active roster shortly after the All-Star break.

Price to make rehab start at High-A on Friday

David Price (triceps) is scheduled to make his first rehab start on Friday with High-A Charlotte.

Price will have to make at least two total starts in the minor leagues before the Rays consider activating him from the disabled list. The ace left-hander has been sidelined since May 15 with a left triceps strain. He felt "great" after a bullpen session Tuesday.

Chris Davis homers twice as O's rout Tigers

Chris Davis crushed his 25th and 26th home runs Wednesday as the Orioles pounded the Tigers 13-3.

Both were two-run shots; he had one off Rick Porcello in the fourth and another off Jose Valverde in the ninth. He also mixed in a ground-rule double, giving him five RBI on the day. After going eight games without an RBI earlier this month, Davis has come back with six homers and 14 RBI in his last eight games. He's also overtaken Miguel Cabrera for the AL lead in OPS.

Swisher (shoulder) expected to return on Sat.

Nick Swisher (shoulder) is expected to return to the Indians' starting lineup this Saturday.

That's contingent on a batting practice session going well on Friday. Swisher hasn't placed since last Saturday because of a sore left shoulder. He was given a cortisone injection to treat the discomfort earlier this week and is apparently feeling much better.

Perez (shoulder) won't be activated on Friday

Chris Perez (shoulder) will not be activated from the disabled list this Friday.

The original plan was to bring him back for the weekend but Perez yielded three homers (and five runs in total) during a rehab appearance Tuesday night at Double-A Akron. The Indians want to get him a little more work against minor league competition. Vinnie Pestano will remain the Indians' primary ninth-inning man.
