Collins wants Parnell to be Mets' closer

Mets manager Terry Collins said on WFAN on Tuesday that he wants Bobby Parnell to be the team's closer.

Collins admitted that he hasn't even spoken to Parnell about the situation, but that's the way he plans to go now that Frank Francisco has been shut down due to elbow inflammation. According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, Collins is looking at Parnell as a contingency plan, so it's possible that Francisco will get the role back if he makes progress. Parnell has struggled in sporadic save opportunities in the past, but he has a 2.98 ERA, 8.7 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 over the past three seasons. He could emerge as a nice late-round sleeper in mixed fantasy leagues.

Mike Adams (back) throws bullpen session

Mike Adams (back) threw a bullpen session Wednesday.

Adams landed on the disabled list earlier this week with a back strain, but reported feeling good and will throw again on Friday. The veteran right-hander thinks he could be ready to return Sunday, but the Phillies may give him some more time.

Twins demote RHP Vance Worley to Triple-A

Twins optioned RHP Vance Worley to Triple-A Rochester.

The Twins acquired Worley from the Phillies over the winter in hopes that he would be a productive member of the starting rotation, but he has been anything but. After being knocked around for eight runs in 3 2/3 innings Wednesday by the Braves, the 25-year-old has an ugly 7.21 ERA across 10 starts. If Worley can turn things around in the minors, he figures to get another chance soon. No word yet on whether Kyle Gibson will be the choice to replace him, but don't count it out.

Victorino (hamstring) out again Wednesday

Red Sox manager John Farrell said on WEEI in Boston that Shane Victorino (hamstring) is out of the lineup again Wednesday.

Victorino hasn't played since he left Monday's game with left hamstring tightness, but Farrell said he is "moving in the right direction." Consider him day-to-day.

Rafael Betancourt (groin) won't need DL stint

Rafael Betancourt (groin) will not require a trip to the disabled list.

Betancourt left Tuesday's game with a tight right groin, but it's merely some scar tissue from a previous injury. He was given anti-inflammatory medication and could be back in there as soon as Friday. Rex Brothers and Wilton Lopez could be in the mix for save chances until he's ready to go, but it doesn't sound like he'll have a lengthy absence.

Pablo Sandoval out Wednesday due to illness

Pablo Sandoval is out of Wednesday's lineup against the Nationals due to illness.

Tuesday's hero should be back in there following Thursday's scheduled off-day. Joaquin Arias will make the start at the hot corner.

Adam Eaton has renewed elbow soreness

Adam Eaton is dealing with renewed soreness in his left elbow and has returned to Phoenix for an examination.

Bad news. Eaton, who was diagnosed with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in March, began playing in rehab games earlier this month and felt well enough to return to center field last week. However, the pain has returned. The worst-case scenario would be season-ending Tommy John surgery, but it's not clear if that's a consideration yet. But it's obviously a concern.

Jaime Garcia to undergo shoulder surgery

Jaime Garcia will undergo surgery on his left shoulder.

No word yet on the exact nature of the procedure, but surgery was always considered a strong possibility. Feel free to drop Garcia in redraft leagues if you haven't already. Tyler Lyons will fill Garcia's spot in the rotation for the time being, but the Cardinals are hoping to have Jake Westbrook (elbow) back from the disabled list soon. Chris Carpenter could be a possibility for the rotation down the road.

Chase Utley (rib cage) to undergo MRI Thurs.

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.
