Houston Astros starting pitcher Jose Urquidy is unlikely to make another start this regular season.

The Seattle Mariners and starting pitcher Luis Castillo have agreed to a five-year, $108 million contract extension, which includes a sixth year vesting option.

San Diego Padres first baseman Josh Bell is out of the lineup Friday against the Colorado Rockies.

Haniger […]

Nick Castellanos Suffers Setback

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos (oblique) is backing off swinging after feeling stiffness in his oblique.
