Shane Victorino making progress
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino, who was not in the lineup Thursday due to a hamstring injury, ran sprints and completed other workouts prior to the game, according to The Boston Globe.

"As we continue to ramp up the physical work and the physical activity, the information that we get back and how he responds to that is certainly helpful as far as our decision-making going forward,'' manager John Farrell said.

Victorino has missed the last three games since leaving Monday's 6-4 loss to the White Sox with a tight left hamstring. He is hitting .283 with two home runs and 10 RBI in 127 at-bats.

Lyle Overbay hoping to stick around
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com

With Mark Teixeira set to return from the disabled list in the coming weeks, Yankees first baseman Lyle Overbay hopes to make a case for more playing time once Teixeira returns.

"I'm not too worried. I would like to see if I can coexist here," Overbay told MLB.com Thursday. "I like it. This is fun. I was on the other side, and you don't get to experience this. I'm very surprised; it was a good surprise, but I'm very surprised at how good these guys are in the clubhouse and as far as being teammates and stuff."

Overbay has a .250/.286/.467 slash line with seven home runs and 25 RBI. Of his 38 hits this season, 18 have been for extra bases. Overbay, who homered Monday, has been held with out a hit in his last nine at-bats.

by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com

Pirates closer Jason Grilli was back on the mound Thursday against the Cubs after getting a day off Wednesday. He set the Cubs down in order for his 19th save of the season.

Grilli induced a fly ball out on the first batter he faced, and then set down the next two on strikes to preserve a 4-2 win. Grilli needed just 14 pitches to end his outing and lower his ERA to 1.25.

Grilli has a league-leading 19 saves in 19 appearances, to go along with his sterling ERA. He has struck out 34 batters and walked just five in 21 2/3 innings.

Rain shortens Jeanmar Gomez's solid start
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com

Pirates starting pitcher Jeanmar Gomez continued to throw the ball well Thursday, but rain kept him from a chance to win against the Cubs.

Gomez held the Cubs to just one run on three hits, but his outing ended after just 56 pitches, thanks to a one hour, 47-minute rain delay. The Pirates won, 4-2.

Gomez struck out two batters and walked none, while racking up nine groundball outs and just one fly ball in 3 2/3 innings. Gomez has a 2.75 ERA in 36 innings, and is expected to make his next start Tuesday against the Tigers.
