McCutchen swats walkoff homer to top Reds

Andrew McCutchen hit a walkoff solo homer on Saturday, leading the Pirates to a 2-1 win over the Reds.

With the score tied at 1-1 and one out in the ninth, McCutchen took Jonathan Broxton the opposite way for the decisive blow. The Pirates' center field has certainly tailed off in the second half but is still having an MVP-caliber season, hitting .329/.401/.559 with 31 homers, 107 runs, 94 RBI and 20 stolen bases.

Kevin Youkilis (back) 'maybe a week' away

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Thursday that Kevin Youkilis (back) is "maybe a week" away from being activated.

Youkilis, out since April 27 with a lumbar spine strain, took six at-bats Wednesday in a simulated game. It's not clear if he'll go out on a brief rehab assignment, but he's getting close.

Austin Jackson (hammy) unlikely to return Mon

Austin Jackson (hamstring) is unlikely be activated from the disabled list when he's eligible Monday.

Jackson landed on the disabled list earlier this month with a strained left hamstring, but we haven't heard much about his progress. That's probably because there's little to update, as Chris Iott of MLive.com hears that he isn't currently doing any physical activity. Fantasy owners will have to hope that changes real soon.

Pineda (shoulder) goes five innings in Tampa

Michael Pineda (shoulder) threw five innings Thursday in a start at extended spring training.

Pineda's fastball sat near 93 mph all afternoon and he reported no issues with his surgically-repaired shoulder. The right-hander is expected to make one more start at the Yankees' spring complex before heading out on a minor league rehab assignment. He should be stashed right now in leagues with big roster allotments.

Victorino (hamstring) not in lineup Thursday

Shane Victorino (hamstring) is not in the Red Sox starting lineup Thursday night against the Indians.

Victorino has missed the last three games with left hamstring tightness, but he is still expected to avoid the disabled list. The hope is he'll be ready on Friday.

Mets could demote Ike Davis early next week

A source told Andy Martino of the New York Daily News that the Mets could demote Ike Davis after this weekend's three-game series against the Braves.

The Mets have been answering questions about a Davis demotion for weeks and may have finally reached the breaking point. The 26-year-old first baseman went 0-for-2 on Wednesday and is batting just .147 with a .482 OPS and 49 strikeouts through his first 42 games this season. He has one hit in his last 38 plate appearances.

Adam Eaton (elbow) won't throw for 2-3 weeks

An MRI taken Wednesday on Adam Eaton's sore left elbow showed no structural damage, but he won't throw a baseball for 2-3 weeks.

Eaton suffered a sprained UCL in March and has been dealing with renewed discomfort. The outfielder will spend the next 2-3 weeks doing strength and conditioning work before attempting to resume a throwing program. He can be ruled out until at least late June. It's a disappointing setback for one of 2013's biggest fantasy darlings.

Mariners to demote struggling Jesus Montero

Ryan Divish of the Tacoma News Tribune reports that Jesus Montero will be demoted to the Triple-A level.

It had to be done. Montero has been a major disappointment this season for Seattle, batting .208/.264/.327 with three home runs and nine RBI in 29 games. He also had an ugly set of stats in 2012 and could be kept down on the farm for a while. Divish writes that the M's "may have finally taken a step back from the idea that Montero will be a catcher at the big league level" and will play him primarily at first base and DH in Triple-A. Jesus Sucre will be promoted to fill the roster vacancy.

Cherington: No long-term talks with Ellsbury

Red Sox GM Ben Cherington confirmed Thursday that he has not engaged in long-term talks with Jacoby Ellsbury.

"Because Ellsbury has gone through arbitration the last three years, there’s been an opportunity to talk to [agent Scott Boras] and Jacoby each of those years in the winter before spring training or early in spring training about his status," said Cherington. "And each of those years we’ve signed a one-year deal." Ellsbury, 29, is set to become a free agent after the 2013 season. He has a disappointing .673 OPS since the start of the 2012 campaign.

Stanton (hammy) able to take batting practice

Giancarlo Stanton took live batting practice Wednesday for the first time since straining his right hamstring.

"He looked good," manager Mike Redmond said afterward. "I’m just going off the results. He was hitting them out. It’s another encouraging sign that he’s a little closer to being back on the field." Stanton has been on the disabled list since April 30 and is still without a timetable. The best guess is that he's activated around mid-June.

Pena has three hits, Tigers beat Indians 11-7

Brayan Pena went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in the Tigers' 11-7 victory over the Indians on Wednesday.

Pena doesn't play much -- Wednesday was just his 14th game of the year -- but when he does, he usually hits. His three-hit game raised his average to .304, and with starting catcher Alex Avila struggling it may mean more at-bats for Pena in the near future.
