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.

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.

Swisher's wife gave birth to a girl on Tuesday afternoon. He will be back within the next couple of days.

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.

May 21 - 4:21 PM

Orioles activated RHP Miguel Gonzalez from the 15-day disabled list.

Gonzalez will return to the Orioles' starting rotation on Tuesday against the Yankees after missing the past two-plus weeks with a blister on his right thumb. He's not a fantasy option outside deep AL-only leagues.

Jose Molina (hamstring) is not in the Rays' starting lineup on Tuesday night against the Blue Jays.

Molina hasn't played since Saturday because of a tight left hamstring. It's not thought to be a serious injury.

Ryan Howard (knee) is back in the Phillies' starting lineup on Tuesday night.

Howard sat out Sunday and Monday due to a sore left knee, but a cortisone shot has apparently done the job. Still, the situation warrants monitoring.

Andrew McCutchen (knee) is back in Tuesday's lineup against the Cubs.

McCutchen was scratched from Sunday's lineup due to right knee soreness, but it was never a major concern. He should be fine moving forward.

Giants placed RHP Ryan Vogelsong on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured right hand.

Vogelsong was hit by a pitch while swinging the bat in the fifth inning Tuesday and suffered fractures above and below the top knuckle in his pinkie. He's expected to undergo surgery Tuesday and will likely miss around six weeks. Chad Gaudin is the most likely replacement for the rotation, though the Giants could call up Michael Kickham from Triple-A.
