 The suspension was effective immediately and the Padres purchased
the contract of outfielder Jeff Francoeur from Triple-A El Paso.
Maybin is hitting just .247 in 174 at-bats this season, appearing in
62 games. He has one home run and nine RBIs to go with three stolen
bases.
The Washington Nationals placed infielder/outfielder Ryan Zimmerman
on the 15-day disabled list with a right hamstring strain, the team
announced Wednesday.
Zimmerman, 29, goes on the DL for the second time this season after
missing 44 games with a thumb fracture earlier in the year. He is
hitting .282 with five homers, 19 doubles and 36 RBIs.
The Nationals also recalled infielder Zach Walters from Triple-A
Syracuse.
The New York Yankees placed infielder Kelly Johnson on the 15-day
disabled list with a strained left groin, the team announced.
Johnson was removed from Tuesday night's game against the Texas
Rangers after suffering the injury. He is hitting .219 with six home
runs and 22 RBIs in 201 at-bats this season.
The Yankees also called up right-hander Chris Leroux from Triple-A
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and designated right-hander Bruce Billings for
assignment.
The Cleveland Indians recalled infielder Jose Ramirez and optioned
left-hander T.J. House to Triple-A Columbus, the team announced.
Ramirez, 21, has spent the bulk of the 2014 season with Columbus,
hitting .302 with 15 doubles, two triples, five home runs and 29
RBIs in 60 games for the Clippers. He has also collected a
team-leading 19 stolen bases.
House, 24, worked five innings, giving up six hits and three runs,
in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins. He has gone 1-2 with a
4.50 ERA in his first nine major league starts (10 appearances) with
the Indians this season.

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Sergio Santos, who was designated
for assignment on Monday, has cleared waivers and will be assigned
to Triple-A Buffalo.
The Minnesota Twins designated reliever Matt Guerrier for release or
assignment. Guerrier, in his second stint with the organization in a
career that has spanned 11 seasons, is third on the team's all-time
list with 488 relief innings pitched.
Guerrier was 1-0 this season with a 3.86 ERA in 27 appearances but
was roughed up for four runs in the ninth inning of his final outing
Tuesday in an 8-2 loss.
Twins first baseman Joe Mauer swung in the cage before the game,
another positive step in his return from a strained oblique that has
had him on the 15-day disabled list since July 2.
Seattle Mariners left-hander James Paxton (shoulder) made his first
rehab start at Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday and told The Seattle Times
on Wednesday that he had "no pain."
