Cameron Maybin will not require knee surgery

While he still isn't performing baseball activities, the Padres received good news regarding injured outfielder Cameron Maybin on Friday, that he will not require knee surgery.

Maybin still seems like a longshot to return before the end of the 2013 season, but the Padres announced Friday that he will play winter ball this offseason in an effort to make up for lost time. A tremendous disappointment to this point in his career, Maybin will look to get back on track during his age-27 season in 2014.

Marlins expected to trade Adeiny Hechavarria

Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports has heard from rival executives that Marlins shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria "will be traded in [the] next few days."

Passan says Miami is "still shopping offers" for the 28-year-old, who is currently on the disabled list with a strained left oblique but due to return to the Marlins' active roster this weekend. Hechavarria has batted just .255/.291/.337 in 640 career major league games, but he's a good defender and under contractual control through 2018. J.T. Riddle has been starting at shortstop for the Fish. Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald notes that the Cardinals, Orioles and Rays have all checked in on Hechavarria.
