Delmon Young provides power again
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(12:03 am ET) Phillies outfielder Delmon Young had his second homer in as many days Wednesday against the Marlins.

Young opened the scoring with a solo home run to left center in the fourth inning, providing the winning run in a 3-0 final. He went 2 for 4 with two runs scored and an RBI.

Young is hitting .233 but has raised his average 41 points in the last 24 hours. 


Josh Phegley making noise at Triple-A
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(12:03 am ET) Triple-A Charlotte catcher Josh Phegley is making noise in the White Sox organization with his play lately, MLB.com reports Wednesday. 

Phegley has a .333 average, 11 doubles, 10 home runs and 28 RBI and the 25-year-old has impressed many in the organization. Still, Chicago is OK with what they have at the major league level right now. 

"When you make a switch at an integral position like that, you have to look at sort of the potential of the unintended consequences," general manager Rich Hahn said. "It's not just an offensive change. There's also a very important defensive component. We are on a good roll right now from what our pitchers are doing. Nor is it reasonable to say, 'All right, Josh is hitting (.333) in Triple-A so come up here and do the same thing in his major league debut and then take over this pitching staff and let's go. That being said, I do think that Josh is showing himself capable of potentially being an impact catcher at the major league level."


Donnie Veal optioned to Triple-A
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(5/22/2013) The White Sox optioned reliever Donnie Veal to Triple-A Charlotte after Wednesday's loss to the Red Sox, MLB.com reports. Veal makes room for John Danks to be activated to start Friday against Miami. 

Veal has made 14 appearances for the White Sox with a 8.59 ERA. He had a scoreless performance over 2/3 of an inning with a walk Wednesday. 


John Danks confirmed for Friday
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(5/22/2013) White Sox manager Robin Ventura confirmed following the team's loss to Boston Wednesday that pitcher John Danks will start Friday against Miami, MLB.com reports. 

Danks will be returning from the disabled list, where he's been with a shoulder injury. He had a 3.18 ERA over his four rehab starts but also showed diminished velocity. He had 15 strikeouts and 13 walks in rehab.

Andrew Bailey back on mound for Boston
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(5/22/2013) Red Sox reliever Andrew Bailey pitched the ninth inning in a non-save situation as Boston led 6-1 in Chicago Wednesday night. 

Bailey, who was making his first appearance since returning from the disabled list, gave up a run on Paul Konerko's solo homer. He threw 11 pitches and struck out one.

The Red Sox do not want to use Bailey, who has a 2.03 ERA, on back-to-back nights this early in his return from a biceps injury. 


Hector Santiago Ks 9 in defeat
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(5/22/2013) White Sox starter Hector Santiago dropped to 1-3 with a loss Wednesday at home against the Red Sox. 

Santiago struck out nine but wasn't efficient, throwing 107 pitches over six innings. 

He gave up two runs on three hits and four walks. His ERA is 2.81. Santiago hasn't won a game since May 2 at Texas. He has 42 strikeouts over 41 2/3 innings. 


Bryce Harper provides big boost in win
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(5/22/2013) Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper homered Wednesday against the Giants for the first time since missing time with a bruised left knee.

Harper went the other way with a solo home run in the sixth inning to open the scoring. He added a double in the 10th and came around to score the winning run in a 2-1 game.

Harper went 2 for 5 with an RBI and two runs scored. He struck out once. He's hitting .288 with 12 home runs, 23 RBI and a .994 on-base plus slugging percentage. 


Clay Buchholz improves to 7-0
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(5/22/2013) Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz improved to 7-0 with a 1.73 ERA after allowing an earned run on five hits and three walks over 113 pitches against Chicago Wednesday. He struck out four and his ERA dropped from 1.78.

The win ended a streak of three-straight no-decisions. Bucholz's next start is Monday against Philadelphia. 


Curtis Granderson back in a big way
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(5/22/2013) Yankees outfielder Curtis Granderson had a feeling he'd start hitting soon. He was right. 

With manager Joe Girardi starting him in the leadoff spot, Granderson immediately got things going with a single off Jason Hammel. He followed with his first extra-base hit of the year, a double.

Granderson then really started to sizzle with a solo homer off Hammel in the fifth inning. He walked in his last plate appearance. Granderson went 3 for 3 with a walk and a run scored with his first HR of the year and improved his average to .269.


Carlos Gonzalez carries the offense in win
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(5/22/2013) Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez accounted for three runs in a 4-1 victory Wednesday over the Diamondbacks.

Gonzalez had a solo home run in the first inning and added an RBI triple in the third. He then scored on a wild pitch for the Rockies' final run. He went 2 for 4 with two RBI and two runs scored.

Gonzalez is hitting .302 with a .977 on-base plus slugging percentage.
