Indians: Joe Colon is getting a chance to help Cleveland's bullpen. The righthander had to serve a 50-game suspension at the beginning of the season for a second positive test for a banned drug. Once he was reinstated, Colon posted a 0.59 ERA in 15 ⅓ innings for Class AAA Columbus. He walked eight but struck out 14.
Royals: Closer Wade Davis, above, became the latest Royal to land on the disabled list Tuesday. This one should be watched closely, as Davis has a forearm strain. He said he believes the injury is minor, but forearm injures can be a signal that elbow problems are coming and therefore can't be taken lightly.
Tigers: Detroit entered the weekend scrambling for a starter after lefthander Daniel Norris landed on the 15-day disabled list because of a right oblique muscle strain. They called lefthander Buck Farmer from Class AAA Toledo, but he's only relieved in the majors. Detroit hopes Norris needs only the minimum 15 days.
White Sox: Chicago is on a roller coaster. After starting 23-10, then falling out of first place, the White Sox on Wednesday won their fifth straight series and were 11-5 over their past 16 games. Rookie infielder Tim Anderson has been a boost since his promotion June 9, batting .295 and playing solid defense.
