    • Out up to four weeks
      Astros general manager Dana Brown said Sunday that Caratini (hip) could be out for up to four weeks, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Caratini landed on the 10-day injured list Friday after sustaining a left hip flexor strain June 19 against the White Sox. A four-week timeline would put Caratini's return after the All-Star break, potentially during the weekend series against the Mariners starting July 19. Prior to the injury, the 30-year-old catcher was slashing .248/.287/.429 with four home runs and 17 RBI over 115 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago
       
    • Plates two in consecutive games
      Dahl went 2-for-4 with two RBI Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Dahl started his first game since Wednesday and contributed two hits, including a two-run knock in the sixth that provided the Phillies with all the insurance they would need. This follows a performance Saturday that saw him come off the bench to launch a two-run blast, his third since making his first appearance of the season on June 3. Through 13 games (10 starts) and 39 at-bats, Dahl is batting .231 with three homers, seven RBI and five runs scored. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago

    • Battling sinus infection
      Nunez hasn't pitched since June 15, and Mets manager Carlos Mendoza indicated earlier this week that the right-hander was dealing with a sinus infection, SNY reports.

      Advice: After bouncing between Triple-A and the big-league roster in April and May, Nunez settled in following his latest promotion and is having a breakout campaign in the Mets' bullpen, posting a 2.04 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 26:3 K:BB through 17.2 innings while generating a 42.2 percent whiff rate with his slider. The 28-year-old has four holds on the season, all of which have come in his last six appearances as he works his way into a high-leverage role. Once he's recovered from the infection, Nunez could emerge as a top set-up man for closer Edwin Diaz. Rotowire.com 56 minutes ago
       
    • Abraham Toro (hamstring) out until second half
      Abraham Toro has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 right hamstring strain.

      Advice: It’s the best-case scenario outcome for Toro, but he’s still going to be sidelined until after next month’s All-Star break. The 27-year-old infielder hit the injured list earlier this weekend after suffering the ailment during Friday’s game against the Twins. Rotoworld 58 minutes ago

    • Pulled after three
      Cecconi (2-6) suffered the loss Sunday, allowing one run on five hits over three innings against the Phillies. He struck out two.

      Advice: Cecconi completed three innings and was pulled after tossing just 46 pitches, having allowed one earned run. He had tossed at least 70 pitches in each of his previous nine starts, but after allowing five hits and facing 11 batters during the second and third innings combined with a morning game-time temperature of 91 degrees, manager Torey Lovullo decided to pull the plug early on Cecconi's outing. Cecconi was coming off a performance on Tuesday in which he tossed six scoreless against the Nationals. His next start is schedule to come in a much softer matchup next weekend as the Diamondbacks play host to Oakland. Rotowire.com 59 minutes ago
       
    • Plays catch Saturday
      Garcia (elbow) began playing catch Saturday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

      Advice: Garcia took the first step in his recovery Saturday after landing on the injured list June 17 due to right elbow ulnar neuritis. A short stint on the IL would benefit the Blue Jays, especially with Jordan Romano (elbow) having his throwing program halted. Prior to his injury, Garcia held a 2.57 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 37:7 K:BB over 28 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 11:57 am
       
    • Vinny Nittoli elects free agency on Sunday
      Athletics RHP Vinny Nittoli elected free agency.

      Advice: Nittoli will test the free agent waters rather than accept an outright minor league assignment after going unclaimed on waivers. The 33-year-old righty was designated for assignment earlier this week after making seven relief appearances for the rebuilding Athletics. Rotoworld Today, 11:55 am
       
    • Elects free agency
      Nittoli cleared waivers Sunday and elected to become a free agent.

      Advice: Nittoli was pushed off Oakland's 40-man roster Friday in order to make room for Osvaldo Bido. Rather than returning to Triple-A Las Vegas, the 33-year-old Nittoli will look to latch on with another organization -- likely in a situation that would offer MLB playing time. He owns a 2.25 ERA and 1.25 WHIP through eight innings in the big leagues this season and has posted similar numbers in Triple-A, so he could attract a fair amount of attention on the open market.

    • Blue Jays claim José Cuas off waivers from Cubs
      Blue Jays claimed RHP José Cuas off waivers from the Cubs.

      Advice: Cuas was designated for assignment last weekend by Chicago after struggling to a lackluster 7.43 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 14/6 K/BB ratio over 13 1/3 innings (nine appearances) this season in the majors. He’ll report to Triple-A Buffalo as extra organizational relief depth for Toronto. Rotoworld Today, 11:37 am
