 Tanaka, working his way back from right wrist tendinitis and a
strained forearm, threw 78 pitches in seven innings, struck out nine
batters and allowed just one run and three hits in the Yankees' 3-1
victory.
To clear a roster space for Tanaka, the Yankees designated
right-handed reliever David Carpenter for assignment. Carpenter
posted an 0-1 record and 4.82 ERA in 22 games over 18 2/3 innings.

Colorado Rockies right-hander Jordan Lyles will undergo
season-ending toe surgery next week.
Next Wednesday in Denver, he will have his medial collateral
ligament and capsule in his left big toe repaired, the team said
Wednesday.
"It's essentially Tommy John for my toe," Lyles said, according to
the Denver Post.
Lyles, 24, sprained the toe on May 23 and aggravated the injury
Sunday in Philadelphia. The Rockies placed him on the 15-day
disabled list on Monday, and he saw a specialist Tuesday.
Lyles had a 2-5 record and 5.14 ERA.

Chicago Cubs right fielder Jorge Soler was placed on the disabled
list with a sprained ankle and replaced on the roster by outfielder
Mike Baxter.
Soler injured the ankle on Monday night when he stepped on first
base awkwardly while running out a grounder in the fifth inning
against the Marlins in Miami. He's expected to be out approximately
six weeks.
After making a splash in 24 games at the end of last season with a
.294 batting average and five home runs, Soler was hitting .265 with
four home runs and 19 RBIs in 49 games this year.

Pomeranz, who was placed on the DL retroactive to May 19 with a
sprained left AC joint, will work out of the bullpen. He has made
eight starts, going 2-3 with a 4.40 ERA.
Meanwhile, Oakland left fielder Coco Crisp, on the DL since May 20
with a cervical strain, received an epidural and returned to the Bay
Area.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun is not expected to play for
several days after receiving a cryotherapy shot in his right thumb
Wednesday.
Braun has had the same procedure in the past with the intent of
reducing discomfort. Braun has 12 home runs in his first 51 games
this season after a decline in power numbers last season.
Also Wednesday, Milwaukee recalled outfielder Shane Peterson from
Triple-A Colorado Springs. Peterson hit .320 with seven homers and
27 RBIs in 47 games for Colorado Springs.
To make room for Peterson, the Brewers optioned right-hander Tyler
Cravy to Colorado Springs. Cravy allowed one run and four hits in
seven innings in a loss Tuesday. (Editing by Larry Fine) ))
