Cardinals release right-hander Kyle McClellan

Cardinals released RHP Kyle McClellan.

McClellan was expected to be non-tendered, so the Cardinals just got the move out of the way early. The 28-year-old right-hander was limited to just 18 2/3 innings this season prior to undergoing shoulder surgery, but he shouldn't have a problem finding a new opportunity.

Salvador Perez leaves game with hip injury

Salvador Perez left Monday's game with a right hip injury.

Perez suffered the injury when he bumped into post at the Astros' dugout while chasing a foul popup. There's no word on the severity of the ailment, but the Royals should provide an update after the game. George Kottaras took Perez's spot behind the plate.

Westbrook (elbow) to throw off mound Tuesday

Jake Westbrook (elbow) plans to resume throwing from a mound on Tuesday.

It comes after he made 25 flat-ground throws from 60 feet on Sunday and 50 throws from 90 feet on Monday. Westbrook seems likely to need a rehab start or two before returning, but there's no word on when that might take place. He'll likely be back in early June if he can avoid a setback.

Corey Hart runs, takes batting practice Mon.

Corey Hart (knee) ran on the field and took full batting practice on Monday.

It's the first time he's done so since undergoing knee surgery. Hart admitted that the running was "awkward," but he could be ready for a rehab assignment in about a week. The assignment is expected to take a while, so it will likely be well into June before Hart is activated.

Detwiler (back) hopeful of making next start

Ross Detwiler reported improvement with his back Monday and hopes be ready to make his next start.

Detwiler is hoping he'll be ready to play catch on Monday before throwing from a mound later in the week. With an off day on Thursday, the Nationals can delay Detwiler's next turn a few days. Zach Duke is making a spot start in his place on Monday.

Eric O'Flaherty to have Tommy John surgery

Eric O'Flaherty will undergo Tommy John surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn left ulnar collateral ligament.

It was inevitable after an MRI over the weekend revealed the bad news. In addition to obviously missing the rest of this season, O'Flaherty will likely be sidelined for the first couple months of the 2014 campaign, as well.

Werth (hamstring) could be out two more weeks

Jayson Werth (hamstring) will not be ready for activation from the disabled list on Friday and could be sidelined for as much as two more weeks.

Nationals manager Davey Johnson said he received an "alarming" report on Werth Monday, which obviously doesn't sound good. The outfielder experienced a setback with his hamstring during a rehab game last week and has yet to return to game action. He was slated to see a specialist over the weekend and evidently didn't receive good news. Roger Bernadina and Tyler Moore will continue to be the primary fill-ins for Werth.

David Freese (thumb) scratched from lineup

David Freese was scratched from Monday's lineup due to inflammation near his right thumb.

Freese was spiked during Sunday's game and required three stitches. He'll be available off the bench and could be ready to return to action on Tuesday. Ty Wigginton is getting the start at third base Monday.

Wash: Profar, Garcia will split time at 2B

Rangers manager Ron Washington said Jurickson Profar will split playing time with Leury Garcia at second base while Ian Kinsler is on the disabled list.

"Leury's going to get some time there," Washington said. "So when you see Profar sitting, don't be surprised." It's obviously not what fantasy owners that picked up Profar want to hear. He should still see most of the starts at second, but Washington wants to keep Garcia sharp.

Bryce Harper back in Nationals' lineup Monday

Bryce Harper (knee) is back in the Nationals' lineup Monday.

Harper sat out Saturday and Sunday due to soreness in his left knee caused by last week's collision with the outfield wall. He's probably still a little sore but is feeling well enough to give it a go.

A-Rod (hip) fields grounders, hits in cage

Alex Rodriguez (hip) fielded grounders and took 25 swings in an indoor batting cage Monday at the Yankees' minor league complex in Tampa, Florida.

Kicking off his third week of on-field activities following hip surgery, Rodriguez also ran from pole to pole near the warning track four times. "Not bad," said Rodriguez. It's not clear when he'll begin playing in games, but the Yankees hope to have him back around midseason.

Ryan Howard receives cortisone shot in knee

Ryan Howard received a cortisone shot in his left knee on Sunday.

The Phillies said that a "change" was found in his meniscus, as well as inflammation. Howard is considered day-to-day for now, but he could require a stint on the disabled list if he doesn't see improvement following the cortisone shot.
