The Mets have a bounce back in their step, as exhibited by Jose Reyes' and Luis Castillo's postgame celebration in yesterday's win over the Giants. (Icon/SMI)

Rays placed first baseman Carlos Pena on the 15-day diabled list with a fractured left index finger. A big loss. The Rays will go with a platoon of Eric Hinske and Willy Aybar at first for now. Hinske has been playing against righties anyway, so his value doesn't change. Aybar can start versus lefties. With Hinske moving to the infield, there will be plenty of at-bats available for Gabe Gross in right. Jonny Gomes could also benefit, but he'd have to get hot. Gross should have short-term value in AL-only leagues.

White Sox signed RHP Esteban Loaiza to a one-year contract. Unless GM Ken Williams knows something about one of his starters that we don't, the White Sox would hardly seem to need a long man. That's what Loaiza will be unless someone gets hurt, and if the White Sox were to lose a starter, they'd probably be better off going to Lance Broadway. Loaiza was incredible for the White Sox in 2003, but he doesn't have the same stuff that he did then.

Yankees activated catcher Jorge Posada from the disabled list. Posada is back a day earlier than expected, but he didn’t start last night’s game. He should be behind the plate on Thursday after missing five weeks with a strained right shoulder. Those unfortunate AL-only leaguers who have gone with Jose Molina while Posada was out should be on the lookout for an alternative.

Jake Westbrook is scheduled to visit elbow specialist Dr. Lewis Yocum in Los Angeles on Friday. It sounds ominous, and that's all the Indians are saying. Manager Eric Wedge says the team already has "some information" on the elbow, but they want a second opinion from Yocum. "I don't think we're going to have a positive result from this," said general manager Mark Shapiro.

Derek Jeter tallied his 2,416th career hit on Wednesday night, moving him past Mickey Mantle for third most in Yankees history. He's behind Lou Gehrig, who finished with 2,721, and Babe Ruth, who notched 2,518 (he had 342 before joining the Yanks). Not bad company.

Rick Ankiel has an infection in his right knee, and it's uncertain when he'll return to the lineup. It seemed odd that he would just go home for the night with a minor knee injury. This makes more sense. Ankiel scraped up the knee while making a catch Sunday and learned of the infection earlier today. He'll likely miss at least one more game on Thursday, so the Cards will probably give Joe Mather another start.

Albert Pujols was out of the lineup for Wednesday's game because of his left calf injury. So, it was more than just the calf tightening up on him during the rain delay last night. "He felt it running the bases in the first at-bat [on Tuesday], so there was definitely a pinch," said manager Tony La Russa. "The best case would be two days, and he could play Friday. We'll see."

Noah Lowry still has tingling in his forearm nearly three months after surgery, and the Giants are concerned that he won't be able to return this season. "That’s questionable," manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday. "We don’t know if he will be back on the mound this year. It’s fair to say we’re getting to that point that it’s a fair question." Lowry underwent surgery in March after being diagnosed with exertional compartment syndrome in his left forearm. The hope was that he'd return just a month later, but he hasn't recovered as hoped.

Yesterday’s Results

Game recaps courtesy of Craig Calcaterra

Marlins 6, Braves 4: As a Braves fan, I am devastated by the end of John Smoltz's season and possibly his career. They say there are stages of grief. I may still technically be in denial, so take this for what it's worth: I'd much rather have had a surgery-needing John Smoltz pitching the ninth inning yesterday than Manny Acosta (.1 IP, 4 H, 4 ER, blown save). But with Soriano and (maybe) Gonzales around, the bullpen will probably be OK. That is if Atlanta can find someone -- anyone -- who can pitch deep into a game for a change. The five guys that make up the rotation right now (Hudson, Glavine, Jurrjens, Reyes, Campillo) are averaging 5.2 innings a start, and that's just gonna kill the Braves' bullpen as they make their way through the hot Atlanta summer.

Padres 2, Cubs 1: Greg Maddux isn't Greg Maddux anymore, but last night against his old team he did what your ex-girlfriend does when she knows she's going to be at the same party as you. No, he didn't exactly wear a slutty dress and hang on your friends while making taunting eye-contact with Chicago, but 7 innings of one run ball is the sort of thing that makes someone have to try hard to remember why they dumped somebody in the first place. After the game you can imagine all of the Cubs' buddies saying "man, Greg sure looked good tonight," to which the Cubs could only reply "I KNOW, now will you shut up about it?" The Cubs' current rotation could only stand around feeling awkward and vaguely jealous.

Mets 5, Giants 3: The Giants went into this season thinking that Lincecum and Cain could carry them to respectability. They were half right. Cain goes five, gives up five, walks four and finds himself with an ERA of 4.67. In other news, reports of Jose Reyes' death have been greatly exaggerated (3-4, 2B, HR, 2 RBI, SB). If he can rip off a stretch of games like that for a week or two everyone will forget how bad things got in May.

A's 10, Tigers 2: Detroit was actually in this one until the seventh when Casey Fossum and Freddy Dolsi combined for 0.1 IP, 4 H, 5 ER and a walk. In other news, the 1000-run Tigers are on pace for 757.

Angels 5, Mariners 4: It wasn't pretty -- 6 IP, 10 H, and a walk -- but Jered Weaver got the job done. Of course you can get away with a lot against the Mariners, who stranded runners like the S.S. Minnow. To tell you how bad it's been for Richie Sexson, the big man goes 1-4 with no walks and actually raises his batting average and OBP.

Rockies 2, Dodgers 1: The Dodgers are stymied by Rockies' pitching for the second night in a row as Aaron Cook goes eight, giving up only a single run on six hits. Big Blue has only scored 28 runs in their last ten games, 17 of which came in two games.

Brewers 10, Diamondbacks 1: That was a whuppin'. It's only eight games, but so far Russell Branyan is hitting .321/.441/.821. And guess what? Milwaukee has won six of those games, BILL HALL. Overall they've won six in a row and nine of ten. The Cubs and any other NL team that thinks they're getting the wild card had best pay attention.

Reds 2, Phillies 0: Brett Myers was good (7.1 IP, 1 H, 1 ER), but he walked six guys, one of whom came around to score on the only hit he allowed. Ed Volquez was better (7 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 8K). Joey Votto would like to remind you that Jay Bruce isn't the only young slugger of note on the Reds (2-3, 2 2B, 2 RBI, BB).

Yankees 5, Blue Jays 1: Mike Mussina (6 IP, 5 H, 1 ER) made his Major League debut before Joba started kindergarten, but even then Chamberlain was hyped more.

Red Sox 5, Rays 1: Order restored in the AL East, as the Sox regain first place. I know I look at Rays' box scores every day, but for some reason it seems like Edwin Jackson is always listed as the starter. I haven't checked, but how many games has pitched this year? 52? 53?

Pirates 5, Astros 2: The hitting hero for Pittsburgh was backup catcher Raul Chavez, who drove in three. Raul was called up to fill in for the injured Ryan Doumit. What made him ready for the callup? "I worked hard in Indianapolis with (hitting coach Hensley Meulens)," he said. That's former Columbus Clipper Hensley "Bam Bam" Meulens to you and me. Well, maybe to just me.

Twins 7, Orioles 5: Two homers in three games for Joe Mauer. Of course, that's two homers in 53 games for him too, so let's not get too excited.

Indians 15, Rangers 9: We're going to need a war crimes tribunal or a truth and reconciliation committee or something by the time this Indians-Rangers series is over, because the crimes against baseball which have occurred in Arlington for the past three nights have been nothing short of atrocious. 65 runs have been scored in three games. Can't we send a peacekeeping force in to stop the fourth?

White Sox 6, Royals 4: The AP game story noted that "After Olivo was hit in the side by a Dotel pitch in the 13th, he slammed his bat to the ground and was escorted to first base by coach Rusty Kuntz and Hillman." That had nothing to do with the game outcome. The writer just wanted to say "Rusty Kuntz."

Cardinals at Nationals: Postponed. 100% true story, I swear: I have a friend who lives in the DC suburbs. Yesterday, as a vicious and, sadly, deadly storm rushed through the area, a tree fell on her house, slamming through the roof in her bedroom. The insurance company sends a crew out, supposedly to remove the tree and put a tarp over the hole in the roof until it can be repaired. The crew gets out there, gives the place a general once-over and says "OK, we'll be back to start repairs tomorrow." In other words, it's going to take an unacceptably long time to get the tarp on the place. I told her she should call Kyle Lohse to jaw at them about it, but she didn't find this funny.

Standings
The graphics next to each team are called "sparklines.” They depict each team’s performance over the last month. Each "up" bar is a victory and a "down" bar is a loss. There are horizontal lines for home games and red bars represent games decided by two runs or less. "PWins" is short for Projected Wins, based on each team’s Run Differential, and is often a better measure of a team’s true strength. Other team graphs and stats can be found on our Team Page.

Yesterday’s Home Runs
The following stats are provided by Hit Tracker, which logs the projected “true” distance of each home run (if it were to land uninterrupted at field level) and its "standard" distance, which is corrected for weather conditions. Each homer is also categorized into one of three types: Just Enough (JE) for homers that cleared the fence by ten feet or less, Plenty (PL) for those that were sure home runs but not “blasts,” and No Doubt (ND) for true “blasts”—homers that cleared the fence by at least 20 feet and landed at least 50 feet beyond the fence.
