- ...on 09/07/08 1:39am / Milwaukee Brewers Comments (0)
	Cameron missed Saturday's game - a 1-0 victory over San Diego - due to a sore left knee. He's listed as day-to-day. Brewers manager Ned Yost said that Cameron's injury was nothing serious. The center fielder is hitting .255 with 24 homers and 64 RBIs this season, but has hit .324 (34-for-105) with nine homers and 22 RBIs over his last 29 contests.

Gil Meche - P ...on 09/06/08 10:12pm / Kansas City Royals Comments (0)
	Meche pitched very well against the Indians tonight, going seven innings while surrendering only a single earned run en route to his 11th victory of the year. Not only did he let up just one run, but also only three hits, two walks, while striking out a season-high ten batters. Don't look now, but Meche is having a very productive season thus far, boasting an 11-10 record with a 3.96 ERA -- a figure nobody expected after he had posted a 5.00+ ERA for the majority of the year.

Elijah Dukes - CF ...on 09/06/08 10:09pm / Washington Nationals Comments (0)
	Dukes was huge for the Nationals tonight in Atlanta, going 4-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI as Washington topped the Braves 8-5 in extra innings. Both of Dukes' home runs were solo shots, and he added two singles to his credit as well -- one of them being an RBI-single in the top of the tenth that extended the Nats' lead to three. Defensively, Dukes wasn't anything to talk about, as he committed two errors in the field, but nonetheless, he made up for it with his bat. He's hitting .279 with 10 homers and 33 RBI on the year.

Ben Sheets - P ...on 09/06/08 10:05pm / Milwaukee Brewers Comments (0)
	Sheets threw a gem Saturday night against the Padres, tossing a complete game shutout to pick up his 13th win of the year. Sheets allowed just five hits, one walk and struck out seven. Opposing pitcher Jake Peavy also threw a phenomenal game, going seven innings while allowing just one earned run, however, the Padres offense was no match for the big right-hander tonight. Ben improves to 13-7 this season, and dropped his ERA to 2.82. Lots of talk has been surrounded on the Brewers other ace, C.C. Sabathia, and about where he'll go this off-season, and how much money he'll make. However, watch out for Sheets to be offered plenty of huge deals as well this winter. He'd be a great fit for any team in need of starting pitching help.

Jack Cust - DH ...on 09/06/08 10:02pm / Oakland Athletics Comments (0)
	Cust went 2-for-4 and blasted two home runs in part of a 5-1 victory over Baltimore on Saturday night. Both the home runs hit by Cust were solo shots, coming in back-to-back innings in the third and fourth. He also hit a sacrifice fly in the first inning totaling his RBI at three on the night. He's only hitting .230, so he's nothing to feel special about in fantasy leagues. However, Cust has shown legit signs of power in his young MLB career, hitting 26 last year, and now having 27 this year. He has 65 RBI to go with the 27 shots.

Ty Wigginton - 3B ...on 09/06/08 9:17pm / Houston Astros Comments (0)
	Wigginton strained his left groin running out a ground ball in the first inning against Colorado on Saturday night. He is listed as day-to-day. Leading off the game, Wigginton ran hard to try to beat the throw to first on a ground ball to second base. He was thrown out, but hit the first base bag awkwardly. Wigginton came out of the game. Darin Erstad replaced Wigginton in left field when the Astros took the field in the bottom of the first.

Brandon Webb - P ...on 09/06/08 7:50pm / Arizona Diamondbacks Comments (0)
	Webb was roughed up Saturday against the Dodgers, lasting just 5.2 innings, while giving up seven earned runs as he failed to pick up his 20th victory. 20 must be one unlucky number for Webb, who has thrown three consecutive poor outings as he makes his stride for the milestone win. Webb gave up five hits, a season high six walks, while striking out six. After winning six consecutive starts, Webb has failed to last six innings, and has given up a total of 19 earned runs in his last three. His ERA has jumped from 2.74 all the way to 3.41, and 19-7 on the year. He'll look to pick up the win against Cincinnati next week.

Manny Ramirez - ...on 09/06/08 7:46pm / Los Angeles Dodgers Comments (0)
	Ramirez had a big day at the plate Saturday, going 2-for-4 with a home run and five RBI as the Dodgers topped Arizona 7-2. Manny began the game's scoring in the fifth inning with a three-run blast, and drove in two more runs with a ground rule double in the sixth. Since being traded to the Dodgers back on the 31st, Ramirez has been hitting at a very high level, and hasn't cooled off one bit. He's hitting .403 with 11 home runs and 34 RBI since joining L.A.

Jason Bulger - P ...on 09/06/08 6:05pm / Los Angeles Angels Comments (0)
	The Angels called up Bulger from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday to help fortify a weary bullpen that got hit hard by the Chicago White Sox the previous night. Bulger got the call after four relievers combined to allow six runs in 7 2-3 innings in Friday's 10-2 loss. The right-hander, who was 4-0 with a 0.63 ERA and 16 saves in 37 games for Salt Lake, had a 6.75 ERA in six appearances with the Angels this year. He is 1-0 with a 5.84 ERA in 23 career appearances.

Zach Duke - P ...on 09/06/08 5:59pm / Pittsburgh Pirates Comments (0)
	Duke pitched a complete-game six-hitter in a 7-0 win over San Francisco on Friday night. Duke has given up only two runs over 17 innings spanning his last two starts (1.06 ERA). He had an 8.21 ERA over his previous nine outings.

Ryan Doumit - RF ...on 09/06/08 5:58pm / Pittsburgh Pirates Comments (0)
	Doumit went 4-for-5 with two runs in the Pirates' 7-0 win over San Francisco on Friday night. Doumit is 7-for-9 with two RBIs and three runs scored over his last three games after going 3-for-22 with one RBI and one run in his previous six contests. He's batting .330 on the season, tops among current Pirates players with more than six at-bats.

Andre Ethier - RF ...on 09/06/08 5:55pm / Los Angeles Dodgers Comments (0)
	Ethier went 5-for-5 with a home run and five RBIs in the Dodgers' 7-0 win over Arizona on Friday night. Ethier is 19-for-38 (.500) with four homers, nine RBIs and 12 runs scored over his last nine games.

Derek Lowe - P ...on 09/06/08 5:54pm / Los Angeles Dodgers Comments (0)
	Lowe held Arizona to two hits in eight innings of a 7-0 win Friday night. Lowe has thrown 14 scoreless innings over his last two starts, allowing only six hits in that stretch. He's 4-1 with a 1.51 ERA in six starts since Aug. 11.

Andre Ethier - RF ...on 09/06/08 5:54pm / Los Angeles Dodgers Comments (0)

J.D. Drew - RF ...on 09/06/08 5:44pm / Boston Red Sox Comments (0)
	Drew, out since Aug. 18 with a strained lower back, took flyballs and batting practice for the second straight day Saturday. The Red Sox, who recently got Kevin Youkilis, Mike Lowell and Josh Beckett back from injuries, aren't sure when Drew will return. "He's progressing, but he's not ready yet," manager Terry Francona said. "Right now there's no timetable."

Kevin Youkilis - 1B ...on 09/06/08 5:43pm / Boston Red Sox Comments (0)
	Youkilis was back in Boston's lineup against the Texas Rangers on Saturday night, rejoining the Red Sox earlier in the day after missing the series opener to attend to a family matter. Youkilis was in the lineup for only the second time in seven games. He missed two games with the flu and two others with back spasms. The extra day at home allowed him to get treatment on his back in Boston. Youkilis said the back spasms could have stemmed from dehydration due to the flu.

- ...on 09/06/08 5:42pm / Chicago White Sox Comments (0)
	The White Sox purchased Bourgeois' contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday. Bourgeois has no major league experience. He batted .286 with nine homers, 48 RBIs and 30 steals in 127 games with Charlotte.

Charlie Haeger - P ...on 09/06/08 5:41pm / Chicago White Sox Comments (0)
	The White Sox designated Haeger for assignment Saturday. Haeger, who has not pitched for the White Sox this season, was 10-13 with a 4.45 ERA in 28 games, 25 starts, with Triple-A Charlotte this season.

- ...on 09/06/08 5:39pm / Washington Nationals Comments (0)
	Martis will remain in the Nationals' starting rotation for the rest of the year, manager Manny Acta said. Acta said the move to leave Martis in the rotation will "give us an opportunity to see the young man and get a better picture for what we're getting next year."

Jason Bergmann - P ...on 09/06/08 5:38pm / Washington Nationals Comments (0)
	Bergmann was removed from the Washington Nationals' rotation for the rest of the season Saturday following his latest rocky outing. Bergmann is 1-10 with a 5.47 ERA in his last 18 games - 17 starts - after giving up seven runs in 2 1-3 innings of Friday night's 10-5 loss to Atlanta. "When he's great, he just cruises," Nationals manager Manny Acta said. "He tries too hard. He's really been over-thinking. We just want to see more consistency out of him."
