Scott Rolen(Blue Jays):
Scott Rolen has told Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston that his left shoulder is feeling much better and, for now, the third baseman's word is all Gaston can rely on. The true test will be seeing Rolen play in a game.
Rolen Likely To Start In Series Finale
David Eckstein(Blue Jays):
Five days before Monday's trade deadline, the Angels continue to pursue a veteran shortstop as insurance in case Erick Aybar is injured.
Angels Looking For A Backup Shortstop
Jason Marquis(Cubs):
If the Cubs remain hot and win the National League Central crown for a second consecutive year, they will know exactly who to thank.
Cubs Sweep Pirates With Shutout
Miguel Cairo(Mariners):
While Bryan LaHair has been solid for the Mariners since coming up in mid-July, the team has also continued to employ the versatile Miguel Cairo at first base on occasion.

Fernando Tatis(Mets):
That means Fernando Tatis is now a left fielder, jockeying with Daniel Murphy and Nick Evans for playing time. Manuel said his intention is to start Murphy against righthanders, with Tatis and Evans splitting time against southpaws.

Robinson Cancel & Ricardo Rincon(Mets):
Even taking Johan Santana and Carlos Delgado into consideration, no Mets player is more thickly muscled than Ramon Castro. Oddly, though, those muscles are his greatest weakness. They don't stretch; they strain. And because his right quad strained to a painful degree on Tuesday night, Castro is once again assigned to the disabled list.
Strained Quad Lands Castro On D.L.
Rick Eckstein(Nationals):
Triple-A Columbus coach Rick Eckstein arrived at Nationals Park on Wednesday to become an extra hitting coach and do anything else manager Manny Acta wants him to do.

Jaime Moyer(Phillies):

J.D. Drew(RedSox):
Francona said he expects Drew to be ready for this weekend's series against Chicago, and that Drew having an MRI on his back was more procedural than a cause for concern.
Francona Discusses Beckett, Drew
Chris Lambert(Tigers):
With Carlos Guillen out at least a few more days with lower back problems, the Tigers will give former first base prospect Jeff Larish a look at third. They used some roster maneuvers on Wednesday to make it work.
