     Derrick Turnbow-R-BrewersMay. 9 - 2:36 pm et
    Brewers outrighted RHP Derrick Turnbow to Triple-A Nashville.
    Turnbow cleared waivers and as expected agreed to accept his demotion to Triple-A rather than give up his $3.2 million salary to become a free agent.
     Alex Rodriguez-3B-YankeesMay. 9 - 2:19 pm et
    Alex Rodriguez (quadriceps) took batting practice and fielded ground balls Friday at the Yankees' minor league complex in Tampa.
    Rodriguez is hoping to come off the disabled list late next week.
     Kyle Farnsworth-R-YankeesMay. 9 - 1:28 pm et
    MLB reduced Kyle Farnsworth's suspension from three games to one game.
    Farnsworth will miss just one game after throwing a fastball behind Manny Ramirez on April 17. He's expected to sit out Friday.
     Elijah Dukes-OF-NationalsMay. 9 - 1:13 pm et
    Nationals activated outfielder Elijah Dukes from the disabled list.
    Dukes hasn't played since Opening Day and hit just .211 with zero homers over 13 games in the minors. Barring an injury to Wily Mo Pena, Lastings Milledge or Austin Kearns, he doesn't figure to see much action in the Nationals' outfield.
     Jesus Flores-C-NationalsMay. 9 - 1:10 pm et
    Nationals recalled catcher Jesus Flores from Triple-A Columbus.
    Flores was hitting below .200 at Triple-A, but will get a chance to be the Nationals' starting catcher with both Paul Lo Duca and Johnny Estrada on the disabled list. He's a worthwhile pickup in NL-only leagues, but doesn't figure to have mixed-league value yet.
     Paul Lo Duca-C-NationalsMay. 9 - 1:09 pm et
    Nationals placed catcher Paul Lo Duca on the 15-day disabled list with a fracture of the fourth metacarpal in his right hand
    He's expected to miss 4-6 weeks and with Johnny Estrada also sidelined by lingering elbow problems Jesus Flores is suddenly the Nationals' starter behind the plate.
     Johnny Estrada-C-NationalsMay. 9 - 1:07 pm et
    Nationals placed catcher Johnny Estrada on the 15-day disabled list with ulnar neuritis in his right elbow.
    Bad timing for Estrada, who would have been in line to start for the next 4-6 weeks with Paul Lo Duca being sidelined. He was hitting just .179 in a part-time role after beginning the season late following elbow surgery.
