Ivan Nova (triceps) placed on disabled list

Yankees placed RHP Ivan Nova on the 15-day disabled list with right triceps inflammation.

Nova was removed in the third inning of Friday's win over the Blue Jays with discomfort in his throwing arm. The Yankees have called up Vidal Nuno to replace him on the active roster. David Phelps will take Nova's spot in the starting rotation.

Brewers will meet to discuss Segura extension

Brewers general manager Doug Melvin indicated Friday that he'll soon meet with owner Mark Attanasio to discuss a potential contract extension for Jean Segura.

The two will evaluate what they want to do regarding a multi-year contract offer, and decide whether or not to open negotiations with the young shortstop's representatives. The 24-year-old isn't eligible to hit free agency until after the 2018 season.

Bumgarner twirls five shutout innings in win

Madison Bumgarner had a stellar performance in Friday’s Cactus League Victory over the Rockies, scattering two hits over five scoreless innings of work.

The 24-year-old southpaw punched out four while walking one in the impressive outing. He’s now tossed 10 scoreless frames to begin the spring season, posting a 7/1 K/BB ratio in the process. While he isn't as flashy as most of the perceived upper-echelon hurlers, Bumgarner can safely be selected as an ace in fantasy drafts.

Fister (elbow) could pitch in game Sunday

Doug Fister (elbow) could throw two innings in a minor league game on Sunday.

Fister played catch for a fourth straight day Friday and might be cleared for the appearance Sunday if he feels well Saturday. The right-hander admitted to feeling "a little bit tight" after his throwing Thursday, but obviously it wasn't seen as a big issue. Assuming he doesn't have a setback, Fister is expected to be ready to go on Opening Day.

Beckett exits after aggravating thumb injury

Josh Beckett left Friday's start against the Cubs after three innings due to soreness in his right thumb.

Beckett hurt the thumb nearly two weeks ago but is trying to pitch through it. He made it through three frames Friday but was unable to go the full four innings he was scheduled to go. It's not clear at this point if Beckett will make his next start.

Surprise: Gattis had offseason knee surgery

Evan Gattis revealed Friday that he underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee last October.

The procedure was to remove a dime-sized bone chip that Gattis said had been "floating around" in his knee since around 2006. "The doctor did a really good job," Gattis said. "I came back good. But I had a fragment floating around for, like, the last seven years. So I had that cleaned out, just smoothed it out." Gattis hadn’t caught consecutive games this spring until Thursday, and now we know why the Braves were careful with him. The Braves plan to catch Gattis about 100-110 games this season while also giving him occasional time at first base and the outfield.

Griffin (elbow) headed for DL to start season

A.J. Griffin is expected to begin the season on the disabled list due to a right elbow issue.

It's not clear when the problem came up, but it could explain Griffin's struggles this spring (he's allowed 10 runs on 19 hits over 8 2/3 innings). The right-hander will pay a visit to Dr. Douglas Freedberg on Saturday to get a clearer picture of his status. With Jarrod Parker (forearm) also bound for the DL, the A's are likely to use Jesse Chavez and Tommy Milone in their rotation.

Parker (forearm) likely to open year on DL

Jarrod Parker is expected to open the season on the disabled list due to tightness in his right forearm.

Parker also dealt with tightness in his forearm at the end of last season, and it has cropped up again. The right-hander will visit Dr. James Andrews on Monday, at which point more should be known about his long-term status. The A's could also be without A.J. Griffin (elbow) for a while, so it's been a rough Friday for their rotation.

Twins extend closer Glen Perkins through 2017

Twins signed LHP Glen Perkins to a four-year, $21.475 million contract extension.

Perkins was already under team control through 2016, but they've reworked his deal. He'll make $21.475 million through 2017, and the Twins will also have a $6.5 million option for 2018. The left-hander has been dominant the last three seasons since being moved to the bullpen full-time, posting a 2.45 ERA with 220 strikeouts over 194 2/3 innings.

Adrian Beltre (quad) expected back soon

Adrian Beltre (quad) isn't expected to be sidelined long.

Beltre left Thursday's game with tightness in his left quad. He's had plenty of leg issues over the last few seasons, but it sounds like he can safely be considered day-to-day. "I’m not," Beltre said when asked if he was concerned. "It’s tight. I went through the workout earlier, and before the game I sprinted and it felt tighter, tighter and tighter."

Trout not setting extension talks deadline

Mike Trout said Thursday that he will not set a deadline for extension talks with the Angels.

The two sides are reportedly discussing a six-year deal in the $150 million range, and Trout said he's willing to keep talking into the regular season if that's what it takes to get something done. "It doesn't matter to me," said Trout. "Nothing bothers me. I go out there and play, man. I don't worry about any of that stuff." Trout is batting .444/.464/.741 with one homer and nine RBI this spring.

O's to hold Wieters (ankle) out until Monday

The Orioles are likely to hold Matt Wieters (ankle) out of the lineup until Monday.

Wieters had been expected to return to action on Saturday, but his right ankle is still a little swollen and the O's don't want to push it. Assuming he can avoid setbacks, it's not something that's going to threaten his availability for Opening Day.
