Fujikawa inks two-year, $9.5M deal with Cubs

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that Kyuji Fujikawa is getting a two-year, $9.5 million deal from the Cubs.

It's quite a bit of money for a rebuilding team to be giving to a reliever, but Fujikawa should be able to finally provide a steady presence at the back end of the Cubs' bullpen. The 32-year-old from Kochi, Japan posted a 1.77 ERA and 11.8 K/9 across 12 seasons of Nippon Professional Baseball. His deal comes with a vesting option for 2015 based on games finished. If it doesn't vest, the Cubs will hold a $5.5 million team option.

Chris Davis homers twice as O's rout Tigers

Chris Davis crushed his 25th and 26th home runs Wednesday as the Orioles pounded the Tigers 13-3.

Both were two-run shots; he had one off Rick Porcello in the fourth and another off Jose Valverde in the ninth. He also mixed in a ground-rule double, giving him five RBI on the day. After going eight games without an RBI earlier this month, Davis has come back with six homers and 14 RBI in his last eight games. He's also overtaken Miguel Cabrera for the AL lead in OPS.

Swisher (shoulder) expected to return on Sat.

Nick Swisher (shoulder) is expected to return to the Indians' starting lineup this Saturday.

That's contingent on a batting practice session going well on Friday. Swisher hasn't placed since last Saturday because of a sore left shoulder. He was given a cortisone injection to treat the discomfort earlier this week and is apparently feeling much better.

Perez (shoulder) won't be activated on Friday

Chris Perez (shoulder) will not be activated from the disabled list this Friday.

The original plan was to bring him back for the weekend but Perez yielded three homers (and five runs in total) during a rehab appearance Tuesday night at Double-A Akron. The Indians want to get him a little more work against minor league competition. Vinnie Pestano will remain the Indians' primary ninth-inning man.

Brett Lawrie (ankle) takes grounders and BP

Brett Lawrie (ankle) took grounders and some light batting practice on Wednesday afternoon.

It's a nice step in the right direction for the young third baseman, who injured his ankle on a slide on May 27. He should be cleared to run the bases in about one week. Then comes the minor league rehab assignment. The best guess right now is that he's back in early July.

Jose Reyes (ankle) jumping to AAA on Friday

Jose Reyes (ankle) will join Triple-A Buffalo on Friday to continue his rehab assignment.

He'll be just one step away from activation at that point. Reyes, who has been on the shelf since April 12 with a severe ankle sprain, is 5-for-12 through his first three rehab games at High-A Dunedin. He should be back in the Blue Jays' starting lineup in less than a week.

MRI on Morrow's forearm shows nothing major

An MRI taken Wednesday on Brandon Morrow's troublesome right forearm showed no major damage.

Morrow felt lingering discomfort in his forearm Monday after going two innings in a rehab start at High-A Dunedin. He will refrain from throwing for a week or so to let the inflammation that is bothering him go away. Morrow remains sidelined indefinitely.

Cahill leaves game after taking liner off leg

Trevor Cahill was pulled from Wednesday's game against the Marlins after taking a line drive off his leg.

Cahill got hit on the leg in the first inning and tried to come out to pitch the second but couldn't make it through his warmup tosses. He threw a scoreless first frame. It did not appear to be a serious injury.

Sandoval (foot) to begin rehab stint on Sat.

Pablo Sandoval (foot) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Saturday with High-A San Jose.

It was previously reported that he would begin his rehab assignment on Friday, but it will actually start one day later. Either way, he could be activated from the disabled list when the Giants begin a three-game series in Los Angeles on Monday.

Pagan (hamstring) to begin rehab stint Thu.

Angel Pagan (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Thursday with High-A San Jose.

Pagan received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his hamstring last week and is no longer dealing with soreness. He's slated to play five innings in his return to game action Thursday. It's not clear how many games he'll need, but he appears on track to rejoin the Giants before the end of the month.

Padres place Everth Cabrera (hamstring) on DL

Padres placed SS Everth Cabrera on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 17, with a mild left hamstring strain.

Cabrera suffered the injury trying to steal second base on Sunday. He'll be eligible to return around the start of July and there's a chance he'll be ready by then. Alexi Amarista and Pedro Ciriaco should see playing time at shortstop when he's sidelined.
