Dodgers the favorites to land Zack Greinke?

Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald was told by an "industry insider" that the Dodgers are the favorites to sign Zack Greinke.

He lists the Angels and Rangers as "on the outside looking in." CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reported earlier this month that the Dodgers had Hiroki Kuroda and Anibal Sanchez at the top of their pitching wish list, but perhaps that's not the case. Greinke is reportedly looking for a six-year, $150 million contract in free agency, and at this point it's hard to doubt that the Dodgers would be willing to give it to him.

Kevin Youkilis plays in extended spring game

Kevin Youkilis (back) took three at-bats in an extended spring training game on Tuesday.

It was his first bit of game action since landing on the disabled list with a lumbar spine sprain. Youkilis' recovery has gone slower than expected, but he's finally made some strides. The Yankees haven't revealed a timetable for his return, but early June seems about right.

Chris Sale (shoulder) scratched from start

Chris Sale has been scratched from Wednesday's scheduled start against the Red Sox due to mild tendinitis in his left posterior shoulder.

It's obviously a tough break for Sale's fantasy owners, but the good news is that the move is viewed as precautionary and he's expected to be ready to start next Tuesday. Hector Santiago will get the ball Wednesday in Sale's place. He'll be pitching on three days' rest.

Weaver (elbow) to be activated next week?

Angels manager Mike Scioscia said it's possible Jered Weaver (elbow) could be activated after his appearance at extended spring training on Wednesday.

That would put him in line to rejoin the rotation early next week, which would be a little earlier than expected. Weaver is coming back from a fractured left (non-throwing) elbow and appears to be fully healed, so it's all about getting his stamina up at this point. The Los Angeles Times' Bill Shaikin speculates that he could replace Joe Blanton in the rotation.

Tommy Hanson not expected back Saturday

Angels manager Mike Scioscia said that Tommy Hanson would "most likely not" start on Saturday in Kansas City.

Hanson has been away from the team since early May due to the death of his step-brother. The Halos were hoping he'd be ready to rejoin the rotation on Saturday, but he needs to get some work in at extended spring training first. The right-hander seems like to return sometime next week.

Utley (side) scratched from Tuesday's lineup

Chase Utley was a late scratch from Tuesday's lineup after feeling discomfort in his right side during batting practice.

He'll be re-evaluated on Wednesday before the Phillies determine how much time he might miss. If it's an oblique issue that Utley is dealing with, obviously there's a good chance it could lead to a trip to the disabled list. Freddy Galvis is taking his spot at second base Tuesday.

Sox consider moving Ellsbury down in order

Red Sox manager John Farrell said he has considered moving Jacoby Ellsbury out of the leadoff spot.

Ellsbury is down to a .241/.303/.335 batting line after hitting just .179/.256/.218 so far in 18 games this month. Farrell wants to show confidence in his leadoff hitter, though, so he'll remain at the top of the order for. Shane Victorino is an option to replace Ellsbury at the top of the order if the center fielder doesn't pick it up.

Cubs activate Matt Garza from disabled list

Cubs activated RHP Matt Garza from the disabled list.

Garza will make his first start in 10 months for the Cubs on Tuesday night against the Pirates. He looked fairly sharp on his minor league rehab assignment and can be activated immediately in most fantasy leagues. Carlos Villanueva has been pushed into a bullpen role.

Salvador Perez has been diagnosed with a deep right hip bruise and is considered day-to-day.

Perez suffered the injury Monday when he ran into a railing near the Astros' dugout while trying to track down a foul ball. He is not in the Royals' starting lineup on Tuesday night but should be fine in a few days.
