Baseball-Major League Baseball roundup

Aug 2 (The Sports Xchange) - The Boston Red Sox placed right-hander Rick Porcello on the 15-day disabled list on Sunday because of a right triceps injury, nesn.com reported. The move is retroactive to July 30, one day after inflammation in Porcello's triceps developed following his last start Wednesday. Porcello allowed 10 hits and six runs (five earned) in two-plus innings and was booed by the sellout Fenway Park crowd. He signed a four-year, $82.5 million extension with the Red Sox in April, but the 26-year-old is just 5-11 with a 5.81 ERA in 20 starts this season. - - - Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Steven Souza Jr is headed back to the disabled list after X-rays revealed that he suffered a fractured left hand in Saturday's game. Souza left Saturday's 11-7 loss against the Boston Red Sox after getting hit on his left hand by a pitch from starter Joe Kelly in the top of the fifth inning. He remained in the game until the top of the sixth. Souza, 26, was on the DL last month with a finger injury. He is batting .214 with a team-leading 15 home runs, 34 RBIs and 10 stolen bases in 89 games. - - - Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton, rehabbing from surgery on his fractured left wrist, said the progress has been slower than expected. The right fielder was hoping to return within six weeks after suffering a left hamate fracture on a swing June 26 and undergoing surgery two days later. There is no timetable for his return. - - - Minnesota Twins left-hander Tommy Milone will be placed on the 15-day disabled list Monday with a flexor tendon strain in his left elbow. Right-hander Tyler Duffey will be recalled from Triple-A Rochester to take Milone's spot in the rotation. - - - Baltimore Orioles right-hander Tyler Wilson will travel with the team to Oakland and make his second start of the season if right-hander Chris Tillman (left ankle sprain) is unable to pitch. - - - Atlanta Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons missed Sunday's game with what the team is calling a sprained right thumb. Although X-rays taken Saturday night were negative, there is no timetable for his return. - - - The Tampa Bay Rays will option pitcher Matt Moore to Durham on Monday. Moore is 1-3 with an 8.78 ERA since returning from Tommy John surgery. - - - The Texas Rangers put right-hander Tanner Scheppers on the 15-day disabled list with left knee inflammation. The set-up man has a 5.66 ERA in 38 appearances for the Rangers. Texas recalled Phil Klein to take the roster spot of Scheppers. - - - The New York Yankees placed rookie fight-hander Diego Moreno on the 15-day disabled list with inflammation in his right elbow. Yankees right fielder Carlos Beltran returned to the starting lineup after a sore left foot held him out of the game Saturday. - - - Los Angeles Angels left-hander C.J. Wilson said the results of an MRI on his pitching elbow showed bone spurs on "all four sides of my elbow." He is considering surgery, which would likely sideline him for the rest of this season. - - - Cleveland Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis was not in Sunday's lineup as a precaution. Kipnis is nursing a sore right shoulder, and had an MRI performed. (Editing by Gene Cherry)
