LEADING OFF: Stanton back to hit, Strasburg returns
September 7, 2016

A look at what's happening all around the majors today:

STANTON RETURNS

The Marlins are getting a key reinforcement for their postseason push - sort of. Star slugger Giancarlo Stanton was activated Tuesday, just three weeks after his season was thought to be over because of a badly strained groin. The catch is that Stanton is only going to pinch hit. Of course, Miami won't complain about getting their big bat back for key situations.

STRASBURG'S STRUGGLES

Stephen Strasburg (15-4, 3.59) will return after missing a few weeks with a sore elbow and tries to slow his recent slide when Washington faces Atlanta. Strasburg allowed 19 runs over his final three starts before being shelved, including nine over 1 2/3 innings in a loss to Colorado last time out. The struggles likely took Strasburg out of the running for the NL Cy Young Award, though he and the Nationals still looked poised to win the NL East.

IMPRESSIVE HEAT

Mets right-hander Noah Syndergaard (12-8, 2.56) faces Reds righty Anthony DeSclafani (8-2, 2.93) in a battle of pitchers with sub-three ERAs. Syndergaard leads all qualified major league starters in average fastball velocity at 98 mph - the next closest entering Tuesday was Kansas City's Yordano Ventura at 95.9.

VIRGIN VOYAGE

Jharel Cotton will become the third pitcher from the Virgin Islands to pitch in the majors when he debuts with Oakland against the Angels. The right-hander follows Al McBean and Elrod Hendricks as big leaguers from St. Thomas. Cotton was acquired from the Dodgers in a package for Rich Hill and Josh Reddick this season and had a 2.82 ERA in six starts with Triple-A Nashville after the trade.

BACK TO BROCK

Rookie Brock Stewart (0-2, 7.94) gets another start with the Dodgers, this time against Arizona. The right-hander rocketed from Class A to the majors this season and broke through with five dominant innings in his last start, a 1-0 win over the majors-leading Chicago Cubs. Diamondbacks lefty Robbie Ray (7-12, 4.46) shut out the Dodgers over seven innings when he last faced them on July 17.

WASHINGTON (AP) Nationals ace Stephen Strasburg felt a pinch in the back of his elbow and was forced to make an early exit in his first start since returning from the disabled list, and NL East-leading Washington went on to defeat Atlanta 5-4 in 11 innings Wednesday night.

The Nationals said Strasburg would get an MRI and didn't elaborate on the severity of his injury. Strasburg winced on the mound after throwing a pitch in the third inning, and manager Dusty Baker said Strasburg had felt a pinch.

Strasburg had been out since Aug. 17 because of soreness in his right elbow. He left after 2 1/3 innings, allowing a run on two hits.

With Braves pitcher Mike Foltynewicz attempting to bunt after Dansby Swanson's leadoff double, Strasburg's 0-2 pitch sailed high. Strasburg grimaced, walked around the mound and then threw another pitch, retiring Foltynewicz. Washington's trainer came out and Strasburg departed, covering his mouth with his glove as he reached the dugout.

Strasburg was replaced by Sean Burnett, who gave up an RBI double to Adonis Garcia.

Jayson Werth walked leading off the 11th and Daniel Murphy followed with a double off Jed Bradley (1-1). After Bryce Harper was intentionally walked to load the bases, Wilson Ramos singled off Brandon Cunniff to win it. Mat Latos (1-0), the 10th Nationals pitcher, got one out for the win.

DODGERS 3, DIAMONDBACKS 1

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Yasiel Puig homered and drove in another run, and Brock Stewart became the fourth consecutive rookie pitcher to win his start, helping the Dodgers beat Arizona to win their fifth straight and complete a three-game sweep.

The NL West leaders increased their lead to a season-high five games over San Francisco.

The Dodgers open a 10-game trip Friday in Miami, where ace Clayton Kershaw is set to start after missing the last two months because of a herniated disk.

Stewart (1-2) allowed one run and five hits in five innings.

Kenley Jansen pitched the ninth for his 43rd save in 49 chances.

Robbie Ray (7-13) struck out 12 in six innings.

INDIANS 6, ASTROS 5

CLEVELAND (AP) - Carlos Carrasco overcame a home run and an apparent bug in his eye to pitch into the eighth inning, and Cleveland beat Houston.

The game-time temperature was 87 degrees, causing swarms of midges to journey from Lake Erie to the muggy ballpark.

Carrasco (11-7) allowed Colby Rasmus' two-run homer in the fourth, one batter after the game was stopped briefly when one of the bugs appeared to get in his eye. The right-hander regrouped after the home run, allowing four runs in 7 1/3 innings.

Mike Napoli's two-run homer off Doug Fister (12-11) gave Cleveland a 4-3 lead in the fifth. Pinch-hitter Brandon Guyer added a two-run double in the inning and the Indians extended their lead over Detroit to 5 1/2 games in the AL Central.

BREWERS 2, CUBS 1

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Jonathan Villar hit two home runs and Keon Broxton robbed Anthony Rizzo of a homer in the ninth inning to help Milwaukee beat Chicago.

Corey Knebel (1-2) pitched a scoreless inning, and Tyler Thornburg finished for his ninth save.

With one out in the ninth, Rizzo hit a drive to deep center. Broxton jumped above the wall to make the catch. Chicago starter Mike Montgomery faced the minimum number of batters through three innings. He lasted five innings, allowing one run and two hits with two walks and six strikeouts

Milwaukee starter Matt Garza gave up one run and three hits in six innings.

RED SOX 7, PADRES 2

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Travis Shaw, Hanley Ramirez and Brock Holt homered and David Price threw seven solid innings to lead Boston past San Diego, moving the Red Sox into first place in the AL East.

Price (15-8) won his season-high sixth straight start, allowing two runs and six hits.

Jarred Cosart (0-3) left after 3 1/3 innings after hurting his right leg while covering first base on Jackie Bradley Jr.'s grounder.

YANKEES 2, BLUE JAYS 0

NEW YORK (AP) - Bryan Mitchell earned his first major league win, combining with Luis Severino and Tyler Clippard to shut down Toronto in New York's victory.

Starlin Castro homered and Brian McCann had an RBI single for the Yankees, They have won four straight and 10 of 14, and closed within 2 1/2 games of Baltimore for the second AL wild card.

Marcus Stroman (9-7) struck out eight in five innings but the Blue Jays lost for the fifth time in six games. They were swept for the third time this season, first since May 16-18 by Tampa Bay.

RAYS 7, ORIOLES 6

J.J. Hardy drove in two on a second-inning double and Michael Bourn hit a solo homer during a three-run third that put Baltimore ahead 5-3.

Baltimore's Dylan Bundy and Tampa Bay's Drew Smyly each allowed five runs and seven hits in 3 2/3 innings. Kevin Kiermaier and Nick Franklin homered for the Rays. Brad Boxberger (3-0) pitched a scoreless seventh for the win and Alex Colome got three outs for his 31st save in 33 chances.

METS 6, REDS 3

CINCINNATI (AP) - Jose Reyes homered on the first pitch of the game, Noah Syndergaard lasted five shaky shutout innings and New York won its fifth in a row, beating Cincinnati.

Reyes and Curtis Granderson each homered for the second straight day and the Mets beat Cincinnati for the 14th straight time. Wilmer Flores added a pinch-hit, two-run drive.

The Mets finished off a three-game sweep and have won eight of 10. They pulled within a percentage point of St. Louis for the second NL wild card, both a half-game behind San Francisco.

Syndergaard (13-8) gave up six hits and four walks. But the Reds went 0 for 3 in trying to steal against him - opposing runners had been previously been 45 for 51 this season.

Jeurys Familia closed for his 47th save, extending his franchise record.

Anthony DeSclafani (8-3) was the loser.

ROCKIES 6, GIANTS 5

DENVER (AP) - Cristian Adames hit a two-run double in the ninth inning off Joe Nathan in Colorado's comeback victory over San Francisco.

Nolan Arenado homered to start the three-run rally, and Tom Murphy and David Dahl also went deep for the Rockies.

CHICAGO (AP) - Avisail Garcia hit a go-ahead single against his former team in a four-run eighth inning and Chicago beat Detroit to keep the Tigers a game out of the final AL wild-card spot.

LEADING OFF: Stress over Strasburg, buggy in Cleveland
September 8, 2016
A look at what's happening all around the majors Thursday:

STRAS STRESS

The NL East-leading Nationals hope to find out more about ace Stephen Strasburg, a day after he exited in the third inning against Atlanta. He winced on the mound, then left early in his first start since Aug. 17 after being on the disabled list because of soreness in his right elbow. Manager Dusty Baker said Strasburg felt a pinch in the back of his elbow and would get an MRI.

BUGGY

The grounds crew in Cleveland will do its best to keep those irritating insects - the midges - from again descending on Progressive Field. The bugs, which notably interrupted a 2007 playoff game when Joba Chamberlain was pitching for the Yankees, were back in the ballpark Wednesday night when the Indians hosted Houston. The same teams finish their series in an afternoon start.

CHECK HIM

Astros shortstop Carlos Correa is back in Houston for tests on the inflammation in his left shoulder. He felt sore earlier this week and was sent home. Manager A.J. Hinch hopes to have the reigning AL Rookie of Year this weekend when Astros host the Cubs. Correa is batting .274 with 19 home runs and 90 RBIs for wild-card contenders.

TAKE IT EASY

Royals catcher Salvador Perez will get another day to rest his ailing right wrist. He was hit by a pitch from the Twins' Ervin Santana on Tuesday night and didn't start Wednesday. Kansas City is off Thursday, and manager Ned Yost hopes to have the World Series MVP behind the plate Friday night in Chicago vs. the White Sox.

SECOND TIME

Rays righty Alex Cobb makes his second start since returning from Tommy John surgery, pitching against CC Sabathia at Yankee Stadium. Cobb was out of the majors last year and came back last week, giving up two runs in five innings against Toronto in a no-decision.
