Max Scherzer (Diamondbacks):
For D-backs right-hander Max Scherzer, not getting a chance to pitch in his hometown during the three-game series with the Cardinals was a mixed bag.

Jim Riggleman (Nationals MGR):
With Jim Riggleman at the helm, I was wondering if you could familiarize Nats fans with Riggleman's style of managing.

Julian Tavarez (Nationals):
You wouldn't know it from his cheerful demeanor, but 17-year veteran Julian Tavarez was designated for assignment following the Nationals' 11-3 loss to the Cubs on Sunday.

Edgar Gonzalez (Padres):
The news on Edgar Gonzalez, who was hit on the helmet by a Jason Hammel 93-mph fastball on Saturday night, was encouraging Sunday as the infielder was released from the hospital.

Jack Wilson (Pirates):
Both Freddy Sanchez and Jack Wilson have rejected the Pirates' contract offers, and as of Sunday, neither has come back to present a counter-offer. The absence of any sort of counter-offer, general manager Neal Huntington said, does not leave the organization optimistic that a deal will be reached with either player in the coming days.

Jason Marquis (Rockies):
Rockies pitcher Jason Marquis didn't get a chance to show his stuff at the All-Star Game in St. Louis, but he showed why he was All-Star-worthy Sunday at PETCO Park.
