The Brewers are expected to activate reliever Tom Gorzelanny before Friday's game, MLB.com reports.

Gorzelanny has been on the disabled list since May 11 (backdated to May 7) with shoulder tendinitis. He has a 2.30 ERA in 15 2/3 relief innings for Milwaukee.

The Brewers are expected to option reliever Hiram Burgos when Tom Gorzelanny comes off the disabled list, MLB.com reports.

No move has officially been made, but Gorzelanny is expected to be activated before Friday's game. Burgos had a 6.44 ERA over 29 innings (six starts), with 10 of his 21 earned runs coming in a May 11 disaster against Cincinnati. It is unclear who will take his spot in the rotation.

The Phillies will activate reliever Mike Adams from the 15-day disabled list for Sunday's game against Washington, the Philadelphia Daily News reports.

Adams has been out with a back injury since May 10. Sunday is his first day eligible to return. He owns a 3.00 ERA in 15 innings as Jonathan Papelbon's setup man.

So the latest MRI didn't reveal anything new with Adam Eaton's elbow, and the Diamondbacks are hopeful the center fielder can begin the rehab process anew after taking 2-3 weeks off.

Yeah, OK.

I'm no doctor, but I am something of a historian. This whole rigmarole sounds an awful lot like what Carl Crawford went through -- starting up, sitting down, starting up, sitting down -- before eventually submitting to Tommy John surgery last year. The Diamondbacks aren't completely convinced either. They're sending him to Dr. James Andrews.

All is not well with Eaton's elbow. If it was, he'd be hitting more than .200 at the level where he hit nearly .400 last year. I'm not saying you should drop him in Fantasy, but if a Brandon Beachy or Michael Pineda type is still available, you might want to switch out your DL stash.

The Yankees have optioned pitcher Dellin Betances to Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes Barre, the New York Daily News reports.

Betances did not appear with the Yankees. He has a 5.40 ERA in eight appearances (six starts) at Scranton-Wilkes Barre.

The Yankees have activated starter Ivan Nova from the 15-day disabled list, the New York Daily News reports.

Nova hasn't pitched since April 26 due to a triceps injury. Although the club has not announced anything regarding his role, it's likely he replaces Vidal Nuno as the fifth starter in the rotation. Nova had a 6.48 ERA in four starts prior to the injury.

With Red Sox third baseman Will Middlebrooks hitting the DL, Pedro Ciriaco -- his likely replacement considering the lack of options for the team -- is worth an add in AL-only formats. 

Ciriaco will likely play third base full-time, but already has the all-important shortstop eligibility, which gives him a bump in value when plugged in at the weaker position with his everyday at-bats.

While Ciriaco is hitting just .175 in spotty playing time this year, he hit .293 last season, and should see his average improve with regular at-bats. He also had 16 steals in 2012, and showed off some speed in the minors, with two seasons of 35 or more steals. He won't put up eye-popping stats, but Ciriaco has a nice chance to fill your stat sheet with average and speed for as long as Middlebrooks is out. 

Contrary to reports from earlier in the week, CSNPhilly.com reported Friday that Phillies reliever Mike Adams will be activated from the disabled list Sunday.

The team was originally planning on having Adams face live hitters in a rehab game Monday, but apparently has decided that facing hitters in batting practice Friday is enough. Adams has been on the disabled list since May 10 due to a back strain. 

Recent reports indicated that Red Sox infielder Jose Iglesias was working at third base at Triple-A Pawtucket, and now he will likely need to put that skill to use. Iglesias was recalled Friday to take third baseman Will Middlebrooks' place on the active roster.

Middlebrooks was placed on the disabled list due to back spasm. Iglesias is expected to play third base Friday against the Indians, according to The Boston Globe. 

The Red Sox have recalled pitcher Alfredo Aceves, WEEI reports.

Aceves has been successful in four starts at Triple-A Pawtucket, as he owns a 3.13 ERA and 1.9 K/BB over 23 innings. Look for him to act as a long reliever for Boston.
