MLB Betting News and Notes - Week #15
•Yanks Put Beltran On DL, Recall Solarte: The New York Yankees placed outfielder Carlos Beltran on the seven-day concussion disabled list Thursday after a batting practice mishap. The Yankees also recalled infielder Yangervis Solarte from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after sending him down last week. Beltran has two fractured bones in his face after being struck by a batted ball during batting practice Wednesday. A ball that Beltran hit bounced off the screen protecting the pitcher and struck his eye.
The 37-year-old has hit just .216 with nine home runs and 28 RBIs in 61 games. Solarte was immediately placed in the starting lineup at third base for Thursday night's game at Cleveland. Solarte, who opened the season hitting .336 in his first 34 games but only .187 in his last 37 games, was sent down to Triple-A on July 3. Solarte, a non-roster invitee, came out of nowhere during spring training to beat out Eduardo Nunez for the 25th spot on the team. He then won the third base job over Kelly Johnson, with six home runs and 29 RBIs over the first two months of the season.
•Astros Trade RHP Doran To White Sox: The Houston Astros traded right-handed pitcher Bobby Doran to the Chicago White Sox for a player to be named later, the teams announced Thursday. The White Sox assigned Doran to Triple-A Charlotte. He had a 5.36 ERA in 80 2/3 innings for Triple-A Oklahoma prior to the trade.
•Yadier Molina To Miss 8-12 Weeks With Torn Thumb Ligament: Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina has a torn ligament in his right thumb and will miss 8-12 weeks following surgery, the team announced. Molina exited Wednesday's game with the injury after sliding into third base, though it was a foot-first slide. Molina, 31, is one of the most durable catchers in baseball. He has started at least 128 games behind the plate every year from 2009-13, and his 1,083 games at catcher since 2006 are the most in baseball. A knee problem sent him to the disabled list last season for the first time since 2007.
In 83 games and 335 plate appearances this season, Molina is hitting .287/.341/.409 (109 OPS+) with 16 doubles and seven home runs. He hit .313/.361/.481 (130 OPS+) from 2011-13. The injury is a huge blow to the Cardinals, both offensively and defensively. With Molina out, St. Louis figures to rely on the catching tandem of Tony Cruz and Audry Perez. Cruz has hit .233/.270/.323 (63 OPS+) as Molina's backup since 2012. St. Louis has won three straight games and come into Thursday with a 50-42 record. They are two games back of the top spot in the NL Central and tied for the second wild-card spot.
•Reds' Phillips To Miss 8-12 Weeks: Cincinnati Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips will miss eight to 12 weeks following surgery for a torn thumb ligament, the team announced Thursday. Phillips suffered his injury while making a sliding catch in the eighth inning of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Cubs. He wore a splint as he left the clubhouse. Phillips, 33, has hit .272 with 19 doubles and seven home runs in 86 games this year. The Reds promoted infielder Kris Negron from Triple-A Louisville after injuries to center fielder Billy Hamilton (hamstring) and Phillips.
In Thursday's game, Reds right-hander Homer Bailey left his start against the Cubs in the sixth inning with pain in the patellar tendon of his right knee. Bailey was delivering a 1-2 pitch to Starlin Castro, but he didn't throw the ball while gingerly completing his motion. After a visit from trainer Paul Lessard and manager Bryan Price, he walked off the field and was replaced by the right-hander Sam LeCure. After the game, it was announced that Bailey has a slight knee strain and is expected to make his next start.
Negron, 28, has hit .269 with three home runs with Louisville. He appeared in four games with the Reds in 2012, but that is his only major league experience. The Reds optioned right-hander Carlos Contreras to Louisville to make room on the 25-man roster for Negron. Louisville right-hander Brett Marshall was designated for assignment to make room for Negron on the 40-man roster. Contreras appeared in three games out of the bullpen for the Reds, allowing one run in 4 1/3 innings.
•Angels Placed Struggling C.J. Wilson On 15-Day DL: The Angels have placed left-hander C.J. Wilson on the 15-day disabled list with an ankle injury, the team announced. It is his first visit to the disabled list since becoming a starter during the 2010 season. Wilson, 33, allowed six runs on eight hits in 3 2/3 innings against the Blue Jays on Wednesday. He told reporters his struggles "are not a physical issue" following the game. Wilson has pitched to a 10.26 ERA with a 2.34 WHIP in his last four starts.
Before becoming a starter a few years ago, Wilson battled numerous injury problems, including Tommy John surgery and a broken elbow. He has been incredibly durable since moving into the rotation though, throwing at least 200 innings every year from 2010-12. Wilson has gone 8-6 with a 4.33 ERA in 19 starts and 116 1/3 innings this year. He owns a 3.48 ERA in 958 1/3 innings as a starter since 2010. As a reliever from 2005-09, Wilson had a 4.30 ERA in 280 2/3 innings. In addition to placing Wilson on the DL, the Angels also optioned Cam Bedrosian to the minors and called up both Cory Rasmus and Drew Rucinski. Nick Maronde was designated for assignment as well.
