 Morneau was sidelined with a strained neck and Logan was
sidelined because of diverticulitis.
In order to make room on the 25-man roster, right-hander Brooks
Brown, right-hander Chad Bettis and first baseman Ben Paulsen were
optioned to Colorado Springs before the Rockies' game Tuesday night
against the Chicago Cubs.
Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzski, who's on the 15-day disabled
list with a hip flexor strain, will resume baseball-related
activities on Wednesday during his rehab work.
---Washington Nationals right fielder Jayson Werth did not start
Tuesday night's game against the Miami Marlins because of a swollen
right ankle.
Nationals manager Matt Williams said he is hoping Werth can start
Wednesday. Outfielder Nate McLouth, who entered Tuesday batting just
.180, started in place of Werth.
---Detroit Tigers third baseman Nick Castellanos was a late scratch
for Tuesday night's game against the Chicago White Sox because of a
right index finger contusion.
Tigers manager Brad Ausmus adjusted his lineup by inserting J.D.
Martinez in right field and moving Miguel Cabrera from first base to
third, Victor Martinez from designated hitter to first and Torii
Hunter from right field to designated hitter.
---Oakland Athletics center fielder Coco Crisp underwent an MRI in
Oakland on Monday, the results of which revealed no additional
damage to the sore neck that has plagued him this season.

Crisp should avoid a trip to the disabled list and, after additional rest
through the balance of the series with the Houston Astros, will be
re-evaluated when the club returns home.
---The Baltimore Orioles held first baseman Chris Davis out of the
lineup and sent him home because of illness before Tuesday night's game
against the Angels.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Davis was battling nausea and what
goes with it, and that it could be something contagious, so he was sent
home.
Steve Pearce started at first base in Davis' place.
---Cincinnati Reds right fielder Jay Bruce was placed on bereavement and
right-hander Curtis Partch was recalled from Triple-A Louisville before
Tuesday night's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
It is Partch's fifth stint with the Reds this season. Bruce is eligible
to rejoin the team on Friday.
