Cameron Maybin to begin rehab assignment Friday
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(8:38 pm ET) Padres outfielder Cameron Maybin will begin his minor-league rehab assignment Friday at Triple-A Tucson, according to MLB.com. Maybin has been dealing with a wrist injury since April and will likely need at least 30 rehab at-bats before being called up.  

Logan Forsythe nearing a return
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(8:33 pm ET) Padres infielder Logan Forsythe is eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list Wednesday, but isn't ready as he works his way back from a foot injury. But he did receive good news Wednesday.

Padres manager Bud Black told MLB.com that Forsythe will begin his rehab assignment Friday in Arizona, playing in extended spring training games. Forsythe has been out since spring training with plantar fasciitis in his right foot. 


Hiroki Kuroda injured in poor outing
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(8:30 pm ET) Yankees starter Hiroki Kuroda left Wednesday's outing in Baltimore trailing 3-1 and runners on first and third following a Chris Davis single with no outs in the third inning. After being checked by trainers, Kuroda appeared to leave injured. 

Kuroda was hit in the calf by a line drive but remained in the game. Following Davis' single, Kuroda appeared to touch his back in discomfort. His next start is supposed to be Monday at the Mets. 

Kuroda allowed two homers in his two innings. Preston Claiborne's first pitch to Matt Wieters after Kuroda departed was a three-run homer to complete the starter's line. Kuroda allowed five runs on eight hits and no walks with no strikeouts.

The 38-year-old had been New York's best starter entering Wednesday with a 1.99 ERA and 6-2 record over his first nine outings. 


Alex Gordon has 10-game hit streak
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(8:17 pm ET) Royals outfielder Alex Gordon has a 10-game hitting streak after a first-inning single Wednesday in Houston, the Kansas City Star reports. He's hitting .356. 

Gordon, following his first at-bat Wednesday, is 19 for 36 (.528) over his streak, with four doubles and two RBI. 


Adam Dunn playing through back issue
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(8:14 pm ET) White Sox designated hitter Adam Dunn is not fully healed from the back spasms that flared up Saturday, CSN Chicago reports. But Dunn will continue to play through the issue. 

Dunn, who said his problem is more related to fielding, was the DH Wednesday against Boston. 

"It takes so long to get loose," Dunn said. "I have to probably go two or three batters before I normally do just to go and get loose again. Other than that, it’s pretty much the same."

Chicago is off Thursday before opening a three-game series against Miami Friday. 

"Laying down, that hurts it worse and sitting down makes it stiff," Dunn said. "So, I’m sure I’ll be walking around doing some stuff. Again, I never had any back problems. I don’t consider this a back problem really. But I don’t know. I guess it just has to run its course."

Dunn hit his 11th home run of the year Monday. With two on, Dunn sent a first-inning fastball from Jon Lester to right field. Dunn finished 1 for 3 with a walk. Dunn is hitting .172/.268/.428 in 145 at-bats.


John Lannan making progress
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(8:10 pm ET) Phillies pitcher John Lannan is expected to throw to hitters for the first time May 29, as he continues to recover from a left knee injury at extended spring raining in Clearwater.

Lannan has been on the disabled list since April 18 with a strained quadriceps tendon and has been limited to bullpen sessions.


Roy Halladay begins rehab program
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(8:07 pm ET) Phillies starting pitcher Roy Halladay reported to the team's spring training facility Wednesday to begin his post-surgery rehab program, according to MLB.com. Halladay underwent surgery on his right shoulder last week.

Halladay is expected to be out until at least late August. 


Chase Utley might end up on DL
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(8:05 pm ET) Phillies second baseman Chase Utley might need to go to the disabled list because of his right rib injury, according to MLB.com.

Utley iwill have an MRI Thursday when the team returns to Philadelphia. Utley suffered the injury during batting practice Tuesday.

"It definitely scared me a little bit," he said Wednesday. "My first swing I took in BP, I felt something. My second swing, I felt it again. My third swing, I felt it again. After the fourth swing, I realized something wasn't right. That's when I told Charlie [Manuel] I have some pain in my side. He told me to go see [head athletic trainer] Scott [Sheridan]. He took me out of the game."

If Utley has a strained oblique, that could require a DL trip, and the team should know Thursday. He said he felt OK Wednesday, but not much better than he did the day before. Utley has missed 256 games over the last three seasons.

"You want to be careful with these things, because they could linger and get worse if you try to play through it," Utley said. "I think we caught it early enough, but it's hard to know until we have some imaging on it."


Curtis Granderson has first extra-base hit
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(8:04 pm ET) Yankees outfielder Curtis Granderson had two hits in his first two at-bats Wednesday against the Orioles in Baltimore. 

Granderson's second hit was his first extra-base hit of the season, a double, since returning from the disabled list. 

Earlier Wednesday, Granderson and Joe Girardi discussed his struggles at the plate and said he was on the verge of getting hot. It appears they were correct. 


Madison Bumgarner excellent in no-decision
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(7:52 pm ET) Giants starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner pitched more than well enough to win Wednesday, but the offense struggled in a 2-1, 10-inning loss to the Nationals.

Bumgarner went seven innings, allowing four hits and two walks. The run came on a solo home run by Bryce Harper that opened the scoring in the sixth inning. Bumgarner struck out five on 115 pitches but earned a no-decision.

Bumgarner's ERA dropped to 2.89 as he bounced back from his worst start of the season. Bumgarner (4-2) will go for his fifth win Tuesday against the Athletics.
