Felix Hernandez extension 'still on track'

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that Felix Hernandez's seven-year, $175 million contract extension with the Mariners is "still on track" and could be announced "in next day or two."

It appears that too much was made of a report from ESPN's Buster Olney that an issue with Hernandez's elbow was holding up the extension. There is something minor going on, but Rosenthal says the Mariners will insert language in King Felix's contract to protect themselves against future elbow trouble. The Yankees did something similar with CC Sabathia and a potential shoulder injury when they inked him to a long-term extension. Hernandez is expected to report to spring training Tuesday and will be on a normal routine.

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.

Betancourt day-to-day with tight right groin

Rafael Betancourt is considered day-to-day after being diagnosed with a tight right groin.

Betancourt had to leave Tuesday's game with the discomfort after throwing just two pitches. It doesn't sound like a serious ailment, but it's possible a DL stint could be in order if he doesn't recover as hoped over the next few days. Rex Brothers is worth scooping up.

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.

Plouffe exits game after taking knee to head

Trevor Plouffe left Tuesday's game in the 10th inning after taking a knee to the head.

Plouffe was sliding into second base to break up a double play when Dan Uggla's knee caught him in the head. The third baseman was able to walk off the field without assistance but appeared to be a little woozy. He'll no doubt undergo concussion tests.

Matt Garza goes 5 scoreless in season debut

Matt Garza didn't get a win but was great in his season debut Tuesday, holding the Pirates scoreless on one hit and three walks over five innings.

Garza also struck out five on the night. With his pitch count of 90 approaching, he was removed to start the sixth, and the Cubs' bullpen promptly coughed up his 3-0 lead by giving up a five-spot. Garza will have a tougher matchup this weekend in Cincinnati, but he appears safe to use in fantasy leagues right out of the gate.

Howard gets three RBI, Phillies beat Marlins

Ryan Howard went 3-for-5 with three RBI in the Phillies' 7-3 win over the Marlins on Tuesday.

Howard did it without the use of the longball, using three singles to plate the runs. The three RBI raised his count to 25 on the year, and he's got a .256/.292/.436 batting line. More importantly, he seems to be mostly healthy after playing just 71 games last season.

Kevin Gausman to make MLB debut Thursday

Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com reports that the Orioles will call up Kevin Gausman to make his major league debut on Thursday against the Blue Jays.

The report has been confirmed by multiple outlets. Manager Buck Showalter previously indicated that it would be either T.J. McFarland or Jake Arrieta that would start on Thursday, but apparently that won't be the case. The No. 4 overall pick in last year's draft, Gausman has been dominant in eight starts at Double-A Bowie this season, posting a 3.11 ERA and 49/5 K/BB ratio over 46 1/3 innings. He's worth scooping up in all fantasy formats.

Johnson hits 8th homer, Rays defeat Jays 4-3

Kelly Johnson hit his eighth home run of the season on Tuesday to help the Rays beat the Blue Jays 4-3.

After a down year in 2012, Johnson is now hitting .273/.345/.508 on the year with eigh home runs and 25 RBI. The 31-year-old has seen time at second base and in the outfield this season, and his versatility means he's in the lineup more often than not. He looks on track for a bounceback season.

Dickerson smacks a pair of homers as O's win

Chris Dickerson had an infield single and a pair of solo homers in Tuesday's win over the Yankees.

Phil Hughes was the victim of both bombs, serving up the dingers in the third and fifth innings. Dickerson and Nate McLouth were the offensive heroes for the O's, as McLouth slugged a walk-off solo shot in the 10th to break the team's six-game losing streak. Dickerson has seen a little more playing time of late and is now batting .371 over 15 games.
