David Eckstein(Blue Jays) & Jack Wilson(Pirates):
As much as the Dodgers have wanted to land an everyday shortstop to take over for the injured Rafael Furcal, general manager Ned Colletti so far has found the price prohibitive.
Shortstop Options Limited For Dodgers
Daric Barton(Athletics):
The A's placed first baseman Daric Barton on the disabled list on Saturday, retroactive to Monday, after what Barton called "a freak accident" in which he dove into a pool during the All-Star break and hit his head on the bottom, resulting in six staples and a stiff neck.

Dan Haren(Diamondbacks):
As much as the Diamondbacks have struggled since April, one thing they can say for themselves is they still haven't been knocked out of first place.
Haren Shuts Down Dodgers
Mark Sweeney(Dodgers):
Pinch-hitting specialist Mark Sweeney will be activated in the next day or two, Torre said. Sweeney was eligible to be activated Saturday and Torre said he initially planned on creating a spot for him on the active roster by reducing the number of pitchers from 11 to 12. The move was delayed because the Dodgers had to use seven relievers Friday night.
Short Hops
Dmitri Young(Nationals):
Needing to stabilize Dmitri Young's diabetes, the Nationals had no choice but to place their first baseman on the 15-day disabled list after Saturday's 8-2 win over the Braves.
Nats Place Young On 15-Day D.L.
Mike McCoy(Rockies):
The Orioles reached a defining mark in their hunt for a starting shortstop on Saturday, when Baltimore completed a minor trade with Colorado that brought veteran shortstop Juan Castro back to the big leagues. Castro, who had been playing for Triple-A Colorado Springs, was acquired in exchange for Minor League infielder Mike McCoy.
