Kyle Weiland outrighted

Astros sent RHP Kyle Weiland outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Weiland missed most of the 2012 season while recovering from arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder. He will compete for a rotation spot next spring if he shows up to camp healthy.

Chapman earns 12th save, Reds defeat Cubs

Aroldis Chapman earned his 12th save of the season Saturday in the Reds' 5-2 defeat of the Cubs.

Chapman also got a save on Friday and has seemingly bounced back from the struggles he experienced earlier this month. The hard-throwing lefty has a 2.74 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 39/10 K/BB ratio in 23 innings this season.

Henderson (hamstring) placed on disabled list

Brewers placed RHP Jim Henderson on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring.

Henderson injured the hamstring during Friday's game, and it turned out to be severe enough to require a trip to the DL. A corresponding roster move will be made on Sunday. There is no indication as to who might save games while Henderson is out. Francisco Rodriguez and John Axford are the primary candidates.

Alvarez homers twice as Pirates beat Brewers

Pedro Alvarez hit two home runs and drove in three in the Pirates' 5-2 win over the Brewers on Saturday.

We've seen this dance from Alvarez before, as the third baseman now has 10 homers and 25 RBI but just a .199 batting average. He finally put it all together to hit 30 bombs last season, and we're expecting a similar output again. A slow starter, Alvarez is heating up with the weather and is a buy-low candidate if you're in the market for cheap power.

Sale (shoulder) is on track to start Tuesday

Chris Sale (shoulder) played catch on Saturday and has deemed himself ready to make his Tuesday start.

"Everything is on track and I’ll be ready to go on Tuesday," Sale said, according to MLB.com's Scott Merkin. He was scratched from his turn this past Wednesday due to mild tendinitis in his left posterior shoulder but is feeling better after a few days of rest. It's great news for Sale owners, as the left-hander has a 5-2 record and 2.53 ERA through nine starts this season.

Westbrook will get second opinion on elbow

Jake Westbrook (elbow) will seek a second opinion next week, likely from Dr. James Andrews.

It's certainly not good news after Westbrook claimed to feel fine after playing catch on Friday. He had cut a previous bullpen session short earlier in the week due to discomfort, so there's definitely something amiss with the elbow. The Cardinals were originally hopeful he would miss the minimum 15 days, but at this point there isn't even a timetable for his return.

Cards slowing Carpenter's throwing program

Chris Carpenter (shoulder, neck) did not feel good after his latest bullpen session so the Cardinals are backing him off his current throwing program.

Carpenter was scheduled to face live hitters for the first time on Tuesday, but that's not going to happen anymore. The 38-year-old right-hander will continue throwing long toss and bullpen sessions until he feels like he's truly ready to take the next step. He has made just three starts since the start of the 2012 season (not including the playoffs) due to nerve irritation in his neck and shoulder.

Pedroia has go-ahead RBI double vs. Indians

Dustin Pedroia had a go-ahead RBI double in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Indians.

It was part of a four-run eighth inning for Boston. Pedroia just missed his third home run of the season with the double, as it bounced off the top of the Green Monster, but it's hard for fantasy owners to complain. He's hitting .337 with 25 RBI, eight stolen bases and 35 runs scored through 50 games.

Salvador Perez lands on the bereavement list

Royals placed C Salvador Perez on the bereavement list.

Perez lost his maternal grandmother this weekend and will be out for at least the next three days. The Royals are calling up Adam Moore to provide depth behind the plate.

Detwiler (back) cleared to start on Tuesday

Ross Detwiler (back) threw a bullpen session Saturday and reported feeling fine.

Detwiler was pulled from a start last week with lower back spasms and skipped a turn in the Nationals' rotation. That bit of rest did the trick, and he has been cleared to take the mound Tuesday against the Orioles.

Yankees officially place Granderson on DL

Yankees placed OF Curtis Granderson on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured fifth metacarpal of his left hand.

Granderson suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch in the fifth inning of Friday night’s game. It's a troubling development for the Yankees, who will now be forced to give extended playing time to Ichiro Suzuki and Brennan Boesch. Granderson is expected to miss a minimum of four weeks.

Weaver (elbow) expected to return Wednesday

Jered Weaver (elbow) is expected to start Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Weaver, on the disabled list since April 9, will throw a bullpen session Sunday before he's cleared to rejoin the Angels. The Los Angeles Times expects Joe Blanton to lose his rotation spot when Weaver returns.
