John Danks SP - CHW:
May 20, 8:21AM: Danks (shoulder)...
John Danks (shoulder) went 4 2/3 innings Saturday in his third minor league rehab start. If everything checks out with the left-hander early this week, he should be cleared to join the White Sox starting rotation on Friday night against the Marlins. Danks has been on the shelf all year and makes for a decent waiver stash right now in AL-only fantasy leagues. Since he's coming off shoulder surgery and still rebuilding his arm strength, it might not be wise to trust him in standard mixed formats.

Gordon Beckham 2B - CHW:
May 20, 8:15AM: Beckham (hand)...
Gordon Beckham (hand) tallied three hits Sunday in his second rehab game with Triple-A Charlotte. Beckham went 2-for-4 on Saturday in his rehab debut and is looking ready to rejoin the White Sox. But since he's been out so long -- over five weeks -- the second baseman will likely remain on the farm until Friday.

Andrew Brown RF - NYM:
May 20, 12:35AM: Andrew Brown...
Andrew Brown has been placed on the disabled list with Triple-A Las Vegas. Brown suffered an oblique injury Sunday and is out indefinitely. He was considered the top candidate to replace the struggling Ike Davis, but is now looking at missing extended time. Mets GM Sandy Alderson insists that a demotion for Davis is "not imminent."

Carlos Ruiz C - PHI:
May 20, 12:27AM: Ruiz will miss...
Ruiz will miss Monday's game at the Miami Marlins after straining his right hamstring Sunday in a 3-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Ruiz, who said he felt a ``pop'' while running the bases in the second inning, didn't make the trip but hopes to rejoin the team on Tuesday in Miami.

David Murphy LF - TEX:
May 20, 12:15AM: Murphy goes...
David Murphy went 2-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in Sunday night's win over the Tigers. With Ian Kinsler on the DL, the Rangers are using Elvis Andrus as their leadoff hitter and Murphy in the No. 2 spot. It's not exactly a deserved promotion after Murphy posted a .170/.215/.295 batting line in April, but there's not any other current options. Murphy appears to be finally healthy after missing time last week with a lower back injury.

Derek Holland SP - TEX:
May 20, 12:07AM: Holland allows...
Derek Holland allowed four runs on eight hits and lasted just 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision on Sunday night against the Tigers. It was the first time Holland hasn't gone at least five innings in a start this season. He gave up three walks and managed to finish with six strikeouts, but couldn't overcome a pair of home runs to Miguel Cabrera. After settling for two straight no-decisions, Holland will look to get back in the win column in his next start Saturday vs. the Mariners.

Miguel Cabrera 3B - DET:
May 20, 12:01AM: Cabrera has hit...
Cabrera has hit three home runs in a game for the second time in his career. The 2012 AL Triple Crown winner hit a three-run homer in the third inning and a solo shot in the fifth against Texas left-hander Derek Holland on Sunday night. He went deep again with nobody on base in the eighth inning against Rangers reliever Tanner Scheppers. Cabrera, who leads the AL in average and RBIs, also had a single. He was walked intentionally in the sixth inning even though the Tigers already had runners at first and second.
