Marlins ink RHP Talbot to minors deal

Marlins signed RHP Mitch Talbot to a minor league contract.

We're assuming he'll also get an invite to major league spring training. Talbot pitched with the Samsung Lions of the Korean Baseball Organization last season and posted a 3.97 ERA over 138 innings. He has a 5.30 ERA over 41 starts and two relief appearances in the majors between the Indians and Rays.

Lewis admits disappointment with his velocity

Colby Lewis (elbow) acknowledged on Monday afternoon that he's unhappy with his fastball velocity.

Lewis was sitting around 85-86 mph in his rehab start Monday at Double-A Frisco and wants to be closer to 89-91 mph by the time he returns to the major leagues. The hope had been that he would be ready to rock during the first week of June, but a more realistic timetable calls for him to be activated near the middle of the month. Lewis is on his way back from major right elbow surgery.

Colby Lewis throws 47 pitches in rehab start

Colby Lewis (elbow) allowed two runs over 2 1/3 innings Monday in a rehab start with Double-A Frisco.

Lewis yielded four hits but he did not walk a batter and struck out three. The right-hander threw 47 pitches -- 33 of which were strikes -- and will probably aim to make it past 60 in his next rehab outing. If everything continues to go smoothly, Lewis should be ready to join the Rangers' starting rotation during the first week of June.

Rays officially promote Odorizzi from Durham

Rays recalled RHP Jake Odorizzi from Triple-A Durham.

The talented 23-year-old right-hander is making his Rays debut on Monday afternoon against the Blue Jays in place of injured left-hander David Price. Odorizzi had a 3.83 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 47/15 K/BB ratio through 44 2/3 innings this season at the Triple-A level. He is worth a try in mixed fantasy leagues for however long he's up.

Teixeira plays in first extended spring game

Mark Teixeira (wrist) went 1-for-2 with a walk Monday in his first extended spring training game.

Teixeira reported feeling "good" on his personal Twitter feed afterward. The first baseman is currently aiming to be activated from the disabled list by May 31, but the Yankees are at the top of the American League East standings and could decide to play it safe by letting his minor league rehab assignment linger into early June. Teixeira is on his way back from a torn tendon sheath.

Danny Hultzen (shoulder) playing catch again

Danny Hultzen (shoulder) has begun playing catch.

Hultzen was shut down in late April with a left rotator cuff strain and general shoulder tendinitis. The Mariners are expected to take it very slowly with their prized pitching prospect. He had a cool 2.78 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 25/6 K/BB ratio through his first 22 2/3 innings (four starts) this season at Triple-A Tacoma and could reach the major leagues later this summer if he can get healthy.

Anthony Gose will not be an everyday player

Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said Monday that Anthony Gose will not be an everyday player.

The talented 22-year-old outfielder was promoted from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday morning but isn't likely to hold much value in standard mixed fantasy leagues. Gibbons said Gose will "help out on defense" and as a pinch-runner. He will not make very many starts.

Freese needs stitches for small thumb gash

David Freese needed stitches along the base of his right thumb after Sunday's win over the Brewers.

Freese suffered a small gash while applying a diving tag on Norichika Aoki's cleat at home plate. The Cardinals' third baseman does not expect to miss any playing time. He's finally starting to come alive offensively after a dreadful first month-plus and might make for a decent buy-low candidate in some fantasy formats.

Taveras (ankle) expected to return this week

Oscar Taveras (ankle) is expected to return to action at Triple-A Memphis by the middle of this week.

Taveras injured his right ankle last Sunday while attempting to steal second base. X-rays taken in the immediate aftermath showed no structural damage, but the Cardinals have understandably decided to play it safe with their top prospect. Taveras, 20, was batting .317 with an .831 OPS through his first 31 games this season for the Memphis Redbirds. He should reach the major league level at some point in 2013.

Beckham (hand) has three hits in rehab game

Gordon Beckham (hand) tallied three hits Sunday in his second rehab game with Triple-A Charlotte.

Beckham went 2-for-4 on Saturday in his rehab debut and is looking ready to rejoin the White Sox. But since he's been out so long -- over five weeks -- the second baseman will likely remain on the farm until Friday.

Cabrera blasts three homers in loss to Texas

Miguel Cabrera went 4-for-4 with three home runs and five RBI in Sunday night's loss to the Rangers.

Cabrera launched a three-run homer in the third inning and a solo shot in the fifth off Derek Holland before he added a third home run late off Tanner Scheppers. The weather conditions at Arlington obviously played a factor, but it was a monster of a performance. Cabrera is currently on track to have a better season than his Triple Crown winning campaign in 2012. He has 11 home runs and leads the American League in batting average (.387), runs (34), and slugging-percentage (.659).

Parnell earns sixth save, Mets defeat Cubs

Bobby Parnell earned his sixth save of 2013 in the Mets' 4-3 win over the Cubs on Sunday.

Parnell struck out two of the three batters he faced in the ninth inning. The 28-year-old right-hander has an exceptional 0.93 ERA, 0.67 WHIP and 18/3 K/BB ratio in 19 1/3 innings this season to go along with his six saves. The Mets aren't going to win many games, but Parnell carries plenty of mixed league fantasy value.
