Rangers to use Kinsler at 2B, Moreland at 1B

Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said Monday that the plan is to use Ian Kinsler at second base and Mitch Moreland at first base.

"It's better that way," Daniels said. The Rangers were considering the idea of moving Kinsler to first base and installing Jurickson Profar as the second baseman, but they've decided against it. That means that both Profar and Mike Olt are likely to begin the season in the minors following the signing of Lance Berkman.

Mets acquire Eric Young Jr. from Rockies

Mets acquired OF Eric Young Jr. from the Rockies in exchange for RHP Collin McHugh.

Young is batting just .242/.290/.352 this season, but he's a good fit for the outfielder-needy Mets. The speedster should receive a good amount of playing time in the outfield and makes for a nice cheap speed pick-up in deeper formats.

Marte sparks Pirates offense in win over Reds

Starling Marte went 2-for-5 with a triple and a run scored as the Pirates beat the Reds 4-0 on Tuesday.

Marte was the catalyst of the Pirates offense on Tuesday. The triple led off the game and was the Pirates' only extra-base hit of the night. He later scored before singling in a run of his own in the seventh inning. Marte also stole a base in the game, his 21st of the season.

Doubront goes eight scoreless innings vs. TB

Felix Doubront fired eight scoreless innings, guiding the Red Sox to a 3-1 defeat of the Rays in the second half of Tuesday's doubleheader at Fenway Park.

The Red Sox won the first game on Tuesday afternoon by a score of 5-1 and are now 2 1/2 games up in the American League East standings. Doubront was brilliant, needing only 93 pitches to work through his eight frames. He struck out six, issued no walks and gave up just three hits. The left-hander will take a 4.38 ERA into his next start in Detroit. We wouldn't expect a similar set of results there.

Hardy goes 3-for-4 in Orioles win over Tigers

J.J. Hardy went 3-for-4 with a home run as the Orioles beat the Tigers 5-2 on Tuesday.

Hardy had two singles to go with the two-run homer, giving him 14 home runs and 42 RBI on the season. The Orioles lineup is not lacking in hitters having great years, and Hardy is no exception.

Wheeler sharp over six in major league debut

Zack Wheeler tossed six scoreless innings Tuesday against the Braves to earn a win in his MLB debut.

Wheeler looked like he was battling some nerves early on and he got into some tight spots with his five total walks, but it was a special night overall for the 23-year-old right-hander. He struck out seven batters and yielded just four hits, and will try for a similar brand of dominance in his second major league start next Tuesday against the White Sox. Wheeler is a must-own in all standard fantasy leagues.

Pestano earns 2nd save, Tribe tops Royals 4-3

Vinnie Pestano got through a tumultuous ninth inning to pick up his second save of the season on Tuesday as the Indians beat the Royals 4-3.

Pestano managed the rare feat of allowing three hits and a walk while throwing a scoreless inning, as the Royals' baserunning miscues aided the cause. With Chris Perez working his way back Pestano's days closing games could be numbered, but Perez is no sure thing to be effective upon returning. The situation is worth monitoring in the days following Perez's activation.

Encarnacion homers as Blue Jays beat Rockies

Edwin Encarnacion went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI as the Blue Jays beat the Rockies 8-3 on Tuesday.

The homer was Encarnacion's 19th of the year and he's somewhat quietly driven in 58 runs. The first baseman is hitting .268/.352/.526 and is showing that his career year in 2012 wasn't a fluke.

Clay Buchholz (neck) placed on disabled list

Red Sox placed RHP Clay Buchholz on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 9, with a strained neck.

Buchholz was able to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday, but evidently he's still not feeling well enough to make his start on Saturday. It's not clear at this point how long he'll be out. The Red Sox are expected to call up Allen Webster to start over the weekend.

Perez allows three homers in rehab appearance

Chris Perez (shoulder) allowed three homers and five runs in an inning of work in his second rehab appearance with Double-A Akron.

Perez gave up five hits overall and also hit a batter. The right-hander was supposed to be activated from the disabled list on Friday, but the Indians might re-think that after tonight's showing. Vinnie Pestano owners should hang on to him.

Marco Scutaro back in Giants' lineup Tuesday

Marco Scutaro is back in the Giants' lineup Tuesday.

Scutaro is dealing with "mallet finger" in his left pinkie, which is a form of tendon damage. The injury can often take 6-8 weeks to fully recover from, but Scutaro will try to play through it. He had missed the previous six games.

J.J. Putz to begin rehab assignment Thursday

J.J. Putz (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Reno on Thursday.

He'll remain with Reno through next Tuesday, as the D'Backs want him to appear in back-to-back games before being activated. Heath Bell has been scored upon in each of his last three outings and seems likely to cede the closer job back to Putz.
