Barry Zito has been named the Giants' NLDS Game 4 starter.

That's assuming, of course, that the Giants can force a fourth game. The other options were Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain, but Lincecum was used for two relief innings in Game 2, and manager Bruce Bochy doesn't want to go to Cain on short rest. The Reds have yet to name a starter for a possible Game 4, but Johnny Cueto (if healthy) and Mat Latos are options.

An MRI taken Saturday on Eric O'Flaherty's left arm revealed a torn ulnar collateral ligament.

That's the injury that almost always leads to Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery. O'Flaherty will visit Dr. James Andrews next week and is likely out for the year. The Atlanta bullpen continues to take big hits.

Bryce Harper is not in the Nationals' lineup Saturday.

Harper is still trying to get over the various injuries that he suffered Monday when he ran into the outfield wall at Dodger Stadium. Tyler Moore will start in right field Saturday night against the Padres.

Cardinals placed LHP Jaime Garcia on the 15-day disabled list with a left shoulder strain.

Garcia has been dealing with shoulder issues for over a year and will visit Dr. James Andrews to try to get some answers. Surgery could ultimately be the course taken. The Cardinals are calling up reliever Mitchell Boggs on Saturday to fill their vacant roster spot but will have to add a new starting pitcher soon. Maybe 2012 first-rounder Michael Wacha will get a chance.

Ian Kinsler (ribs) is out of the Rangers' starting lineup again on Saturday evening.

Kinsler was hit in the ribs by a throw Tuesday while stealing second base and aggravated his contusion Thursday during an at-bat. He is considered day-to-day.

Ike Davis was told Saturday by Mets general manger Sandy Alderson that a demotion is not imminent.

ESPN New York reported Saturday morning that there were intensifying internal discussions about sending the struggling first baseman to Triple-A, but Davis got the vote of confidence on Saturday afternoon directly from the man who would make that decision. Davis estimated that he has about a month to turn it around.

Mark Reynolds went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an RBI single and a walk-off fielder's choice in Saturday's win over the Mariners.

Reynolds drove in three runs on the day. The fielder's choice came with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth, as catcher Jesus Montero was unable to keep his foot on home plate on a throw from shortstop Brendan Ryan. Reynolds has been one of the AL's most productive hitters thus far, batting .268/.354/.580 through 40 games. He's tied with the Yankees' Robinson Cano for the American League lead with 12 homers.

Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) could begin jogging sometime next week.

That's what Marlins skipper Mike Redmond told reporters on Saturday afternoon. Stanton has been on the disabled list since April 30 with a severe right hamstring strain and is being limited currently to pool workouts. There is no timetable for his return to Miami.
May 18 - 4:26 PM

Stephen Drew (back) is not in Saturday's lineup.

Drew played through a back issue on Friday and the Red Sox don't want to risk it again. The injury is not considered serious, though, and Drew will try to return on Sunday.
May 18 - 4:00 PM

Robinson Cano launched a pair of two-run homers in Saturday's win over the Blue Jays.

It was the 12th multi-homer game of his career and his second of the season. The 30-year-old is now tied for the American League lead with 12 homers. He's the cream of the crop among fantasy second baseman and could get even better as the Yankees' lineup gets healthier.
May 18 - 3:50 PM

Joe Mauer (back) returned to the Twins' lineup Saturday.

Mauer was held out of Friday's game with lower back stiffness, but it was never a major concern. He's batting in the No. 2 spot Saturday and will serve as the Twins' designated hitter against the Red Sox.
May 18 - 3:49 PM

Astros activated 2B Jose Altuve from the bereavement list.

Altuve has been out since Tuesday following the death of a family member. He was also dealing with a jaw injury during his time off, but he's now ready to return to the Astros' lineup.
