Cardinals recall Kolten Wong from Triple-A

Cardinals recalled 2B Kolten Wong from Triple-A Memphis.

Wong batted .344/.382/.484 with two homers, 10 RBI and five stolen bases over 15 games at Triple-A Memphis since his demotion late last month to earn a trip back to the majors. With Mark Ellis underwhelming, he figures to at least play regularly against right-handed pitching. The young infielder is worth scooping back up in deeper fantasy leagues if he's on your waiver wire.

Jesus Montero suspended 50 games for PEDs

Jesus Montero has been suspended 50 games by Major League Baseball for testing positive for dimethylbutylamine.

Montero has spent all of 2016 at Triple-A in the Blue Jays' organization, batting .317/.349/.438 with 11 homers. The former top prospect will turn 27 in November and his future in the majors is now looking as cloudy as ever.

Indians shoot down Brantley (shoulder) report

The Indians have shot down a report from Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports that Michael Brantley (shoulder) could miss "significant time" next season.

Heyman's report said that Brantley's rehab from a second right shoulder surgery could drag past Opening Day next year, but the Indians don't think that will be the case. "Our expectation is that he'll be ready for spring training," said president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti. "We were told after the second surgery that the timeline (for recovery) would be four to five months. As far as I know, nothing has changed." There's no reason to doubt the Indians' belief that Brantley will be ready to go for Opening Day, but the reality is there's a lot up in the air with him given how this year went.

Hammel (elbow) scratched Friday vs. Reds

Jason Hammel has been scratched from his scheduled Friday start against the Reds due to right elbow tightness.

Hammel has looked off all month, and this might officially rule him out of the mix for the Cubs' postseason roster. A new starter for Friday has not been announced. The National League Central champs could make it a bullpen game at Great American Ball Park.

Daniel Murphy (glute) sitting again Thursday

Daniel Murphy (glute) is out of the Nationals' lineup again on Thursday versus the Diamondbacks.

Murphy hasn't started a game for the Nats since September 17 because of a strained glute and that probably won't change over the final weekend of the regular season, but he is expected to be a full-go for the best-of-five NLDS next week against the Dodgers. Wilmer Difo is playing second base and batting second on Thursday afternoon against Arizona left-hander Robbie Ray.
