Joaquin Arias - SS - Giants

Joaquin Arias (forearm) is not in Wednesday's lineup.

Arias made an early exit from Tuesday's game agasint the Rockies after getting hit on the left forearm by a pitch. He only has a contusion, but the Giants are playing it safe. Emmanuel Burriss is playing third base on Wednesday night against the Cardinals.

Vance Worley - S - Phillies

An MRI taken Wednesday morning on Vance Worley's right elbow showed no structural damage.

Worley has been diagnosed merely with elbow inflammation and should be ready to return to the Phillies' starting rotation soon after he's eligible for activation from the 15-day disabled list. The 24-year-old right-hander has registered a fantastic 3.07 ERA and 45/15 K/BB ratio through 44 innings this season.

Steve Clevenger - C - Cubs

Steve Clevenger (oblique) took 15 swings off a batting tee and 15 swings on the side Wednesday.

It was his first swing-based workout since being placed on the disabled list April 26 with a right oblique strain. Clevenger should be ready before the end of May.

Carlos Beltran - OF - Cardinals

Carlos Beltran (knee) is out of the Cardinals' lineup Wednesday for a third straight game.

Beltran told reporters at the beginning of this week that his surgically-repaired right knee was "barking." And that's apparently still the case. The 35-year-old is batting .295/.407/.648 with 13 home runs and 32 RBI.

Denard Span - OF - Twins

Denard Span has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup due to tightness in his right hamstring.

Span missed Tuesday's game with the same ailment. Erik Komatsu is playing center field and batting leadoff on Wednesday night against Tigers righty Rick Porcello.

Bill Bray - R - Reds

Bill Bray (groin) threw a successful 12-pitch inning Wednesday at extended spring training.

Bray reported no issues with his back or groin. The setup man should be cleared to head out on a minor league rehab assignment by early next week and seems likely to rejoin the Reds' bullpen by the end of this month.

Aroldis Chapman - R - Reds

Reds manager Dusty Baker said Wednesday that the plan is for Aroldis Chapman to start "someday."

The inference being that it won't be happening anytime soon. Chapman has posted a dominant 0.00 ERA and 32/5 K/BB ratio in 18 1/3 innings of relief this season and deserves a long-form look. But Baker is as stubborn as they get and seems to think he has the Cuban left-hander pegged correctly as a setup man.

Lendy Castillo - R - Cubs

Lendy Castillo has been diagnosed with a moderate groin strain and may be placed on the disabled list.

The Cubs have flown in Scott Maine just in case Castillo's groin shows no improvement over the next several hours. The Rule 5 Draft pick has posted a rough 7.04 ERA and 1.83 WHIP in 7 2/3 innings this season.
