Padres ink INF Petit to minors deal

Padres signed INF Gregorio Petit to a minor league contract.

He also gets a spring training invite. Petit, 28, had a .260/.320/.403 batting line with the Indians' Triple-A this past season and hasn't played in the big leagues since 2009. He figures to serve as minor league depth.

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.

Astros officially sign No. 1 pick Mark Appel

The Astros have officially agreed to terms with No. 1 overall pick Mark Appel.

The Astros denied reports of a deal over the weekend, but they are expected to hold a press conference Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET to formally announce the signing. Jim Callis of Baseball America reports that Appel will receive a $6.35 million bonus, which is approximately $1.44 million less than the assigned slot value for the pick. Either way, his gamble to go back to Stanford for his senior season has paid off quite nicely. The 21-year-old right-hander has a chance to move through the Astros' system very quickly.

Nationals will keep Danny Espinosa in minors

Nationals activated 2B Danny Espinosa from the 15-day disabled list; optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse.

An expected move, as Espinosa batted just .118 (2-for-17) with 10 strikeouts over six rehab games in Triple-A. His wrist is apparently feeling better, but he'll need to have better results before returning to the majors. Anthony Rendon will continue to handle second base duties for the Nats for now.

Harper (knee) to begin baseball activity soon

Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said on 106.7 The Fan on Wednesday that Bryce Harper (knee) will resume baseball activities in "the next day or two."

Harper continues to make progress, as he was cleared to progress toward running following a visit to the team doctor earlier this week. While he could begin baseball activities within the next couple of days, there's no timetable for him to return to game action. The 20-year-old outfielder has been sidelined since May 26 with left knee bursitis.

Utley (oblique) begins rehab stint Wednesday

Chase Utley (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Wednesday with Double-A Reading.

Utley figures to play at least a couple of games, but he could rejoin the Phillies this weekend if all goes well. The veteran second baseman has been sidelined since May 20 with a right oblique strain.

Ryan Vogelsong has pins removed from hand

Ryan Vogelsong had all five pins removed from his surgically-repaired right hand on Tuesday.

That's good news for Vogelsong, who originally expected to only have two or three pins removed. He'll now have the ability to perform more mobility and flexibility exercises, some of them earlier than expected. As of now, the Giants are hoping to get Vogelsong back near the end of July.

Brandon Crawford (fingers) could return Thu.

Brandon Crawford (fingers) is expected to miss Wednesday's game.

Crawford sprained the index and middle fingers on his right hand during Tuesday's win over the Padres. His fingers were swollen and he couldn't grip a ball, but it sounds like there's a chance he could return Thursday. Consider him day-to-day for the time being.

Everth Cabrera (hamstring) headed to DL

Everth Cabrera (hamstring) is expected to be placed on the disabled list Wednesday.

Cabrera injured his left hamstring during Sunday's game and will now receive some extended rest. It's too bad, as the 26-year-old is in the midst of a breakout season. Alexi Amarista and Pedro Ciriaco figure to split playing time at shortstop during his absence.

Mauer collects three hits, Twins top Sox 7-5

Joe Mauer went 3-for-5 with a home run in the Twins' 7-5 victory over the White Sox on Tuesday.

Mauer hit a two-run homer in the first inning and later doubled off White Sox starter Dylan Axelrod, falling a triple short of the cycle. The two RBI gave him 23 on the season to go with a .327/.412/.492 line. And the homer was his seventh, giving him a fair chance to eclipse his total of 10 in 2012. If he finishes with his current slugging percentage it would actually be his third-highest all-time among full seasons.

Moss homers, scores twice as A's beat Rangers

Brandon Moss went 2-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored as the A's beat the Rangers 6-2 on Tuesday.

Moss has homers in two of his last three games and 13 on the year. The first baseman also tripled in the game, his third already this season. Moss likely won't replicate the .291 batting average he finished with in 2012, but he is well on his way to another 20-homer season.
