(5/21/2013) Tigers infield prospect Danny Worth suffered a setback while recovering from a bruised right heel, according to MLB.com.

Worth is shut down from most activity until he's pain free. He is expected to head to Florida Wednesday to work out at extended spring training. Worth remains optimistic about rejoining his Triple-A squad at some point next week.

(5/21/2013) White Sox manager Robin Ventura told Comcast SportsNet Chicago that Gordon Beckham will not be switching from second base to shortstop, despite playing shortstop during Monday's rehab game.

Ventura worked out Beckham at shortstop during spring break but never used him in a game. Ventura wants to see if he is capable of handling a limited role at shortstop on days when Alexei Ramirez is not in the lineup.

"When everybody starts getting healthy you can only fit so many people in certain spots," Ventura said. "Alexei is the shortstop. But in case you need somebody there, is (Beckham) able to do that? That's more of a reason to have him do it. I want him to play second base here. But for one game, or if something happens before you could get somebody up here, would he be able to do it? … You start to find out if he's comfortable."

Beckham, who played shortstop in college, has gone 6 for 13 with two RBI in three rehab games and could be back with the White Sox at the end of the week.

(5/21/2013) Athletics minor leaguer Jemile Weeks started at shortstop with Hiroyuki Nakajima starting at second base Monday, MLB.com reports. 

Oakland skipper Bob Melvin is hearing from the Triple-A people that Weeks "is very playable" at shortstop.

Weeks could become an option at shortstop down the line. For now, he's hitting .285 at Triple-A over 165 at-bats with two homers, 16 RBI and eight stolen bases. 

(5/21/2013) The Indians have recalled second baseman Cord Phelps from Triple-A Columbus Tuesday.

Phelps hit .233 with five home runs and 19 RBI in 116 at-bats at Triple-A. He is expected to be sent back down once Nick Swisher is activated from the paternity list.

(5/21/2013) Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia is swinging a very hot bat right now. Pedroia is currently on a season-high 12-game hitting streak as he enters Tuesday's game in Chicago, MLB.com reports. 

Pedroia's 60 overall base hits are tied for third in all of the majors. Pedroia has gone 22 for 49 (.449) over the 12-game streak with five doubles, a homer and eight RBI. He's only struck out three times over that span. 

(5/21/2013) Twins infielder Jamey Carroll is in the team's starting lineup Tuesday against the Braves.

Carroll will play second and hit leadoff against Braves pitcher Tim Hudson. In 56 at-bats, Carroll is hitting .304/.361/.339. Carroll replaces Brian Dozier, who has been the team's normal second baseman and leadoff hitter recently. 

(5/21/2013) Orioles second baseman Yamaico Navarro is in the team's starting lineup Tuesday.

Navarro has been getting a fair share of playing time with the team after he was called up. He received a breather Sunday, in favor of Alexi Casilla. Navarro has three hits in nine at-bats this season. He'll face Yankees starter Phil Hughes Tuesday.

(5/21/2013) Astros second baseman Jose Altuve has dropped Scott Boras as his agent, according to MLB.com.

Altuve rejoined Scott Pucino and Wil Polidor of Octagon, where he left about a year ago for Boras. Altuve is still under team control through the 2017 season, so he won't be a free agent anytime soon. He won't be arbitration-eligible until 2015. Altuve is hitting .327/.361/.430 in 165 at-bats. 

(5/21/2013) Orioles manager Buck Showalter was impressed with second baseman Alexi Casilla Monday, according to MASN. 

Casilla received his first start in over a week, and made two impressive plays in the field. "Alexi put on a show at second base. What a game he had. My gosh. He was impressive," Showalter said. Yamaico Navarro has been starting at second recently, but Casilla's strong play could earn him more time. 

(5/21/2013) Tigers second baseman Omar Infante will continue to hit leadoff against left-handed pitching, according to mlive.com.

Manager Jim Leyland said the move was "a no-brainer." Leyland admitted that the move would be temporary, and that Austin Jackson would remain in the spot once he returned. While he's happy with Infante's performance, Leyland doesn't think he's the ideal long-term leadoff hitter. 

"He's not an ideal leadoff guy. He doesn't walk much, but he hits pretty good. Omar can hit anywhere. Omar just comes ready to play every day and whatever you ask him to do, he does," Leyland said.

Infante is hitting .313/.344/.444 in 144 at-bats.
