Hideki Okajima elects free agency

Hideki Okajima has elected free agency.

Okajima had been removed from the Athletics' 40-man roster last month. He had been slated for free agency after the season, anyway, but now he'll get an early start. The lefty appeared in just five games at the big league level this season.

Jose Abreu (flu) sitting Thursday vs. Royals

Jose Abreu (flu) is out of the White Sox starting lineup on Thursday against the Royals.

Abreu left Wednesday's game after three innings due to flu-like symptoms. Consider him day-to-day. Matt Davidson is at first base and Daniel Palka is serving as Chicago's designated hitter in Thursday night's series opener at Kansas City's Kauffman Stadium.

Joe Kelly begins serving six-game suspension

Joe Kelly will begin serving his six-game suspension on Thursday night.

Kelly was handed the suspension back on April 12 after intentionally hitting Tyler Austin with a pitch and inciting a benches-clearing brawl between the Red Sox and Yankees. Kelly filed an appeal, which is way he has remained active, but that appeal was officially denied by MLB on Thursday afternoon.

Andrew Miller (hamstring) lands on 10-day DL

Indians placed LHP Andrew Miller on the 10-day disabled list with a left hamstring strain.

Miller suffered the injury during an appearance Wednesday night against the Cubs. He figures to miss around two weeks. The dominant left-handed setup man leaves behind a 0.00 ERA and 17/4 K/BB ratio in 10 innings.

Steven Matz likely to remain in NYM rotation

Mets manager Mickey Callaway indicated Thursday that Steven Matz will remain on turn in the starting rotation.

"We’re going to get him where he needs to be," Callaway told reporters. Matz allowed seven runs -- three earned -- over just 3 1/3 innings in Wednesday night's loss to the Cardinals and now holds a 4.98 ERA through 21 2/3 total innings (five starts) this season. He's lined up to face the Braves next week, though an off day could allow the Mets to skip that start.

Pham (head) in Cardinals' lineup on Thursday

Tommy Pham is starting in center field and hitting second on Thursday afternoon against the Mets.

Pham sliced open his forehead on Wednesday night while taking warmup swings with a resistance band, but the cut did not require stitches and he cleared MLB's concussion protocol. The dynamic 30-year-old outfielder is batting .343/.471/.514 with three home runs and five stolen bases through 21 games this season.

Asdrubal Cabrera back in Mets' lineup Thurs.

Asdrubal Cabrera (hamstring) is back in the Mets' starting lineup Thursday against the Cardinals.

Cabrera was held out of Wednesday's game because of a minor hamstring injury. He will start at second base and bat third versus Carlos Martinez in Thursday afternoon's series finale at Busch Stadium. The 32-year-old currently leads the National League with a .349 batting average.

Eugenio Suarez activated, at 3B on Thursday

Reds activated 3B Eugenio Suarez from the 10-day disabled list.

Suarez is starting at third base and batting fifth on Thursday afternoon against Braves left-hander Sean Newcomb after missing just over two weeks with a fracture in his right thumb. The thought initially was that he could be sidelined through much of May. Suarez returns to a strong .296/.424/.630 batting line with two home runs and seven RBI in eight games played.

Musgrove (shoulder) throws simulated game

Joe Musgrove (shoulder) threw about 35 pitches over two innings in a simulated appearance on Wednesday.

Musgrove used all of his pitches and tried to ramp up the velocity on his fastball from previous throwing workouts. "It went really well. It was really encouraging," Musgrove said. "I didn't feel like there was any abnormality in the way I was moving and the things I was doing. The ball was coming out clean. The velo was in a decent range, kind of where I was expecting it to be." The 25-year-old right-hander could soon be cleared to begin a minor league rehab assignment. He's on track to join the Pirates' rotation around mid-May, assuming no setbacks.

Gregorius goes 3-for-3 with a homer vs Twins

Didi Gregorius went 3-for-3 and swatted a home run during a 7-4 win over the Twins on Wednesday.

He laced an RBI-single in the first inning and upped the ante with a solo homer in the third frame. Gregorius is rocking a .347 batting average and is second in the majors with nine home runs. He leads the majors with 29 RBI. The 28-year-old shortstop was formerly best known for his glove but his bat has turned the tables.

Chad Kuhl fans eight in victory over Tigers

Chad Kuhl struck out eight hitters and allowed three runs in six innings in an 8-3 win over the Tigers on Wednesday.

Kuhl gave up a two-run shot to Leonys Martin in the fifth inning, but outside of that he was solid in the victory. The right-hander's ERA now sits at 4.55, but he's struck out 25 hitters in just-under 28 innings, and that ERA should start to drop with a little more luck. He's an intriguing streaming option or DFS play against weaker lineups, but you probably should avoid him on Monday when he faces the Nationals in Washington.

Betts cranks two bombs in win over Jays

Mookie Betts homered twice and drove in three runs to lead his team over the Blue Jays 4-3 on Wednesday.

He led off the game with a solo shot against starter Aaron Sanchez. He came to the plate with the Red Sox trailing by a run in the seventh inning when he slugged a two-run homer that provided his team with the winning runs. Betts has to be considered an early MVP candidate due to his .350/.442/.750 triple-slash with eight homers and 17 RBI. He leads the majors with 25 runs scored as well.
