Rays 'definitely in the mix' for Farnsworth

Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports that the Rays are "definitely in the mix" for free agent reliever Kyle Farnsworth.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reported Monday that Farnsworth had narrowed his choices from six teams to three and it appears the Rays are one of the finalists. According to Topkin, Farnsworth will make a decision within the next couple of days. The 36-year-old right-hander posted a 4.00 ERA and 25/14 K/BB ratio over 34 appearances with the Rays in 2012.

Chase Utley (rib cage) to undergo MRI

Chase Utley (rib cage) will undergo an MRI on Thursday.

Utley was scratched from Tuesday's lineup after he felt pain and a burning sensation in his right rib cage after taking a swing during batting practice. Rib cage and oblique injuries tend to linger, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him land on the disabled list at this point. Get a backup plan in place in fantasy leagues.

Dodgers discuss calling up Puig, Pederson

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said Wednesday that the club has discussed calling up prospect outfielders Yasiel Puig and Joc Pederson.

Very interesting. However, while the Dodgers are struggling to score runs, it's hard to see a great fit for playing time as long as Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, and Carl Crawford are healthy. Puig, 22, is batting .314/.385/.579 with six homers and a .964 OPS through 32 games this season with Double-A Chattanooga. Pederson has been even better, batting .327/.400/.554 with eight homers, 13 stolen bases and a .954 OPS.

Kyle Lohse (elbow) scratched from next start

Kyle Lohse will not make his next scheduled start on Saturday due to right elbow irritation.

The description of his condition is rather vague, but the Brewers should provide more information soon. Mike Fiers will start in his place Saturday against the Pirates. Lohse allowed four runs in six innings Sunday against the Cardinals and owns a 3.76 ERA and 37/10 K/BB ratio in 55 innings across nine starts this season.

Trevor Plouffe placed on 7-day concussion DL

Twins placed 3B Trevor Plouffe on the 7-day disabled list with a concussion.

Plouffe took a knee to the head Tuesday night when he tried to break up a double play with a slide at second base. He'll need to be cleared by MLB doctors before returning to action. The Twins have called up Chris Colabello to take his spot on the active roster.

Rafael Betancourt (groin) to undergo MRI

Rafael Betancourt (groin) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Wednesday.

Betancourt left Tuesday's game with a tight right groin, an issue which has lingering since late April. He's hoping to avoid the disabled list, but the Rockies may decide that a couple of weeks of rest is the best course of action. Rex Brothers is the likely favorite for saves if Betancourt needs to miss time, but Wilton Lopez could also figure in.

Mike Trout hits for cycle for first time

Mike Trout homered in the eighth inning Tuesday to complete his first cycle in the Angels' 12-0 massacre of the Mariners.

Trout struck out in his first at-bat, but he singled, tripled and doubled afterwards before delivered his ninth homer off Lucas Luetge in the eighth. He drove in five runs in all, and he became the youngest player to hit for the cycle since Mel Ott in 1929. Trout has his average up to .293, and he's currently on pace to finish the season with 32 homers, 112 runs scored, 122 RBI and 32 steals.

Gordon delivers three hits in Royals' victory

Alex Gordon went 3-for-4 with a run scored to help the Royals come back and beat the Astros 7-3 on Tuesday.

Gordon is currently enjoying a nine-game hitting streak in which he's hitting .514 (18-for-35) with four doubles. He's now batting .352/.384/.536 through 42 games, and his move to the No. 3 hole seems to be permanent. The Royals' most consistent hitter and one of the hottest hitters in the league, the 29-year-old could be looking at a career year.

Reed notches save No. 16 in win over Red Sox

Addison Reed picked up his 16th save on Tuesday in the White Sox' victory over the Red Sox.

Reed's 16 saves now rank behind only Jason Grilli and Mariano Rivera for the league lead, and he's blown just one opportunity on the year. The right-hander owns a 2.14 ERA and 1.05 WHIP, having struck out 24 batters in 21 innings. And after serving up six home runs last season, he's yet to be taken deep thus far. It's shaping up to be a big year for the young righty.

McCann homers in Braves' 10th-inning victory

Brian McCann went 3-for-4 with a home run Tuesday in the Braves' 5-4 extra-innings win over the Twins.

Freddie Freeman also had a big game, hitting an RBI double to get Atlanta on the board in the first inning and a walkoff RBI single in the bottom of the 10th. McCann singled twice and hit a solo shot in fourth. He is now batting .282/.383/.590 with four home runs and 12 RBI in 12 games since returning from the disabled list.

Henderson earns ninth save, Brewers top LAD

Jim Henderson earned his ninth save of the season as the Brewers beat the Dodgers 5-2 on Tuesday.

Henderson's save capped off a total of 5 2/3 scoreless innings from the Milwaukee bullpen. He surrendered a hit and a walk but struck out the other three batters he faced and now boasts a 0.95 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 23/5 K/BB ratio in 19 innings this season. The right-hander has been a waiver wire gem so far and should be a steady fantasy closer all year.

Straily dominates Rangers in A's 1-0 victory

Dan Straily held the Rangers scoreless over seven innings as the A's beat the Rangers 1-0 on Tuesday.

After struggling through five starts Straily twirled a gem Tuesday, allowing just two hits in his seven innings. More notably, the right-hander didn't walk a batter after issuing 12 free passes through his first 26 innings. He'll try to keep the ball rolling Monday against the Giants.
