The A's have decided to go to a closer-by-committee, opening the door for young Ryan Cook to seize a more prominent bullpen role. Meanwhile, the Marlins have promoted Gaby Sanchez, installing at 1b, which will cost the team's OFers some playing time.

Daisuke Matsuzaka (RHP, BOS) returned to BOS rotation Saturday, after more than a year since his last start. A solid, though not spectacular, outing provides owners hope that he is trending more towards his minor league rehab numbers than his last 250 major league innings.

Utility players veteran Jerry Hairston (IF/OF, LA) and rookie Elian Herrera (3B/2B/OF, LA) recently have seized regular PT spread among multiple positions while swinging hot bats amidst a spate of LA injuries.

Hairston has started 10 of 14 games, with his last six starts at 2B, since his May 25 activation from the DL.
