Ryan Doumit C - MIN: The Twins placed Doumit... May 17, 1:42AM

The Twins placed Doumit on the 15-day disabled list after the game because of a strained right calf. They will recall outfielder Ben Revere from Triple-A Rochester for Thursday's game at Detroit.
Jaime Garcia SP - STL: Jaime Garcia tosses 7... May 17, 1:22AM

Jaime Garcia breezed by the slumping Giants in Wednesday's 4-1 win, allowing one run on nine hits in 7 1/3 innings of work. Garcia issued zero walks for the first time all season while fanning a 2012-high nine in a rare quality road start. The outing leaves him with a 3.68 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 36/15 K/BB ratio through 51 1/3 innings. He'll get the Padres at home on Monday.
Madison Bumgarner SP - SF: Madison Bumgarner takes... May 17, 1:20AM

Madison Bumgarner allowed four runs on nine hits in 7 1/3 innings of Wednesday's loss to the Cardinals. Two of the runs were charged to Bumgarner after he left the game. His owners can thank Steve Edlefsen. Bumgarner struck out three and walked none in an otherwise pleasant outing, with his biggest mistake coming in the seventh, where he served up a solo home run to David Freese. The non-quality outing is just Bumgarner's third of the season. He'll get the Brewers in Milwaukee on Monday.
David Freese 3B - STL: David Freese has big... May 17, 1:17AM

Mired in an 0-for-16 slump, David Freese went 3-for-4 with a home run and double in Wednesday's win over the Giants. Freese took tough Giants lefty Madison Bumgarner deep for a solo shot in the seventh before roping an opposite field double off of Steve Edlefsen in the eighth. The home run was his third of the month and eighth of the season. Last season's World Series hero is now batting .287/.352/.519 through St. Louis' first 37 games.
Buster Posey C - SF: Buster Posey goes... May 17, 1:14AM

Buster Posey went 3-for-4 with a double and RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Cardinals. The multi-hit night was just Posey's third in 13 May starts, while the extra-base hit was his first of the month. Nevertheless, he's still hitting a solid .295/.348/.443, and shouldn't be expected to struggle to such a severe degree going forward.
Jerome Williams SP,RP - LAA: Jerome Williams goes... May 17, 1:12AM

Jerome Williams scattered two runs and 10 hits across eight innings of work on Wednesday evening, improving to 4-1 in Los Angeles' 7-2 win over the White Sox. Williams struck out five and walked zero in tossing at least 6 2/3 innings for the sixth consecutive start. A sort of savior for the beleaguered Halos, Williams is now the owner of a 3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 31/11 K/BB ratio through 46 2/3 frames. He has a favorable matchup lined up for Monday, where the Angels will begin a three-game set with the A's in Oakland.
Gavin Floyd SP - CHW: Gavin Floyd roughed up... May 17, 1:09AM

Gavin Floyd got lit up by the light-hitting Angels in Wednesday's loss, allowing seven runs on 10 hits in six innings of work. Floyd allowed two home runs, one of which was a three-run shot to Albert Pujols. Pujols, of course, entered this evening with only one bomb on the season. Floyd's worst start of the year marks the third time in eight outings he's allowed five or more runs, and balloons his 2.53 ERA to 3.44. He should be able to get back on track on Tuesday when the White Sox host the Twins.
