Brewers hope Mat Gamel will play winter ball

The Brewers hope Mat Gamel (knee) will be ready to play winter ball this offseason.

The Brews were hoping he'd be ready to play in the Arizona Fall League, but his rehab simply isn't far enough along. Gamel played for Estrellas in the Dominican Winter League last year, but their roster is full, so he'll have to find another team. Barring a setback, Gamel is expected to be healthy for the start of spring training.

Reds send LHP Tony Cingrani to Triple-A

Reds optioned LHP Tony Cingrani to Triple-A Louisville.

The Reds need to clear a rotation spot with Johnny Cueto set to return from the disabled list Monday, so Cingrani will officially be sent down. He was mostly impressive over his first six major league starts, posting a 3.27 ERA, nine walks and 41 strikeouts over 33 innings. Neftali Soto has been called up to replace Cingrani on the active roster, while Mike Leake will remain the team's fifth starter.

Josh Johnson to begin rehab stint Monday

Josh Johnson (triceps) will begin a rehab assignment Monday with High-A Dunedin.

Johnson has been on the DL since April 29, but he hasn't had any issues during his throwing program. He'll likely need 2-3 games before he's cleared to rejoin the Blue Jays' rotation. Johnson is on track for a return in the early part of June.

Yankees acquire Reid Brignac from Rockies

Yankees acquired INF Reid Brignac from the Rockies for cash considerations.

Brignac made the Rockies' Opening Day roster, but was designated for assignment on Thursday after he batted just .250/.294/.375 in 53 plate appearances. The former top prospect is capable of playing multiple infield positions and will serve in a utility role with the Yankees.

Matt Garza (lat) to return from DL on Tuesday

Matt Garza (lat) will return from the disabled list to start Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

Garza threw six scoreless innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Iowa earlier this week, so he shouldn't be on a strict pitch count in his season debut and will provide an immediate upgrade to the Cubs' rotation. His return means Carlos Villanueva will be relegated to a bullpen role.

Granderson starting in right field Saturday

Curtis Granderson is starting in right field Saturday against the Blue Jays.

It's Granderson's first career start in right field. With Ichiro Suzuki struggling, the Yankees are looking for ways to get Granderson, Vernon Wells and Travis Hafner in the lineup against right-handed pitching. Granderson has been playing exclusively in left field since his return from the disabled list, so it's a sign that Ichiro's playing time could be reduced going forward.

Hafner (shoulder) returns to Yankees' lineup

Travis Hafner (shoulder) returned to the Yankees' lineup Saturday.

Hafner was available to pinch-hit Friday, but didn't start against left-hander Mark Buehrle. He returns after missing the last four games with shoulder tendinitis. With Curtis Granderson now healthy, the Yankees will go with a committee of Hafner and Vernon Wells at designated hitter. Hafner is batting .260/.383/.510 this season.

Mets 'intensify' demotion talks for Ike Davis

ESPN New York reports that the Mets have "intensified" discussions about potentially demoting Ike Davis.

Davis was able to snap a six game hitless streak Friday, but he may not have more than this weekend's series against the Cubs to prove he deserves to avoid a demotion. If Davis is sent down, the Mets are expected to call up Andrew Brown from Triple-A Las Vegas to replace him on the active roster. Davis is batting .160/.245/.267 with four home runs in 38 games this season.

Chris Sale fans 12, overwhelms Angels

Chris Sale struck out 12 in 7 2/3 scoreless innings Friday in the White Sox's 3-0 win over the Angels.

Poor C.J. Wilson got matched up with Sale for the second time in six days and took another tough loss. Sale allowed just four hits and struck out 19 while pitching 16 2/3 scoreless innings over the course of the two outings. He's allowed one run in 24 career innings against the Angels.

Pacheco swats grand slam in win over Giants

Jordan Pacheco went 2-for-5 with a grand slam and five RBI in Friday's 10-9 win over the Giants.

Pacheco had an RBI ground out in the bottom of the second inning while his fifth-inning grand slam broke a 5-5 tie. With a .313/.360/.410 batting line over 26 games this season, the 27-year-old continues to be a useful player for Colorado. Todd Helton isn't a good bet to hold up and will require regular rest no matter what, so Pacheco should continue to have value in NL-only leagues.

Freese busts out of slump with grand slam

David Freese launched a grand slam in Friday's 7-6 win over the Brewers.

Well, that's one way to bust out of a slump. Freese entered play Friday homerless over his first 27 games this season. With the grand slam, he notched his first RBI since May 2. The Cardinals and fantasy owners are hoping that this night will serve as a turning point for his season.

Aramis Ramirez has two HR, six RBI vs. Cards

Aramis Ramirez connected for a pair of three-run homers in Friday's loss to the Cardinals.

Ramirez did his best to keep the Brewers in the ballgame, but it ultimately wasn't enough to keep up with the Cardinals' offensive attack. The 34-year-old has already served a lengthy stint on the DL this season due to a knee injury, but if healthy he should be one of the most valuable fantasy third baseman once again.
