Giants, Affeldt agree to new three-year deal

According to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, the Giants and Jeremy Affeldt have agreed to a three-year contract.

The deal is expected to be worth a total of $18 million. Affeldt boasts a 2.66 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 8.0 K/9 since the beginning of the 2011 season and held left-handed batters to a .236/.319/.302 slash line in 2012. The 33-year-old lefty drew "considerable interest" on the open market, says Heyman, before re-singing with San Fran.

Castro scores winning run, in Astros' 4-2 win

Jason Castro had two hits and scored the winning run in the Astros' 4-2 win over the Pirates on Saturday.

Castro led off the top of the 11th inning with a double off the wall and scored on a Matt Dominguez fielder's choice. The catcher owns just a .243/.282/.393 line on the year, but he's got more pop than that and he seems to be the Astros' catcher of the future. He's still just an option for AL-only leagues at this point.

McCarthy twirls gem, D'Backs beat Fish 1-0

Brandon McCarthy threw a three-hit shutout as the Diamondbacks beat the Marlins 1-0 on Saturday.

Everybody looks a little better facing the Marlins, but it's the second-straight outing that McCarthy has held the opponent scoreless and he's now turned in three consecutive quality starts. After his early struggles, McCarthy seems to have turned a corner. We look for him to be more consistent going forward. His next turn will come against the Padres on Friday.

Odorizzi officially starting Monday vs. Jays

The Rays have officially announced that Jake Odorizzi will be Monday's starter against the Blue Jays.

The move won't be made official until Sunday, but the Rays have confirmed what was suspected since David Price (triceps) went on the disabled list. The Blue Jays are not a very pitcher-friendly opponent, but Odorizzi is talented enough to warrant a roster spot in deeper mixed leagues. The 23-year-old right-hander has a 3.83 ERA and 47/15 K/BB ratio in 44 2/3 innings this season at Triple-A Durham.

Johnson blows another save, O's fall to Rays

Jim Johnson blew his second consecutive save in epic fashion Saturday as the Orioles fell to the Rays.

Johnson entered with the O's leading 6-4 and promptly surrendered five earned runs on three hits and two walks. He was among the best closers in baseball last season and started off strong this year, but his past two outings have been very troubling. The Orioles may want to give him a few days of mental rest.

Votto reaches base in all six PA as Reds win

Joey Votto went 4-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 10-0 defeat of the Phillies.

Votto also drew two walks, reaching base in all six of his plate appearances. He boasts a ridiculous .346/.473/.531 slash line in 43 games this year and is probably the best pure batter in the majors right now. It's just gravy that the power is starting to come around.

Harper likely to miss a few games with bruise

Bryce Harper will miss Saturday and likely Sunday's game as well because of a bruised left knee.

Harper is still feeling the effects of running into the Dodger Stadium outfield wall on Monday night and is getting a few days to recover in San Diego before the Nationals head to San Francisco. Harper underwent an MRI on his abdomen on Friday, which came back clean.

O'Flaherty has torn ulnar collateral ligament

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.

Cards lose Jaime Garcia to strained shoulder

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.

Alderson tells Davis demotion is not imminent

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 has three RBI in walk-off win

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.
