The Baltimore Orioles may soon be slipping down the American League East standings after news that Matt Wieters may be on the shelf for a while:

Yahoo Sports' Jeff Passan reported that the All-Star catcher will see renowned orthopedic surgeon James Andrews on Wednesday. There is a chance that Wieters has a torn UCL, which would likely end his 2014 season:

On May 6, 1998, Chicago Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood, who was just 20 years old at the time, tied Roger Clemens' major league record with 20 strikeouts during a nine-inning game vs. the Houston Astros.

Los Angeles Dodgers phenom Yasiel Puig's approach to playing the game tends to rub people the wrong way, but there's no doubt that he brings some serious swagger to the ballpark.

Puig absolutely crushed a three-run home run off Miami Marlins pitcher Jacob Turner in the fourth inning on Saturday:

The bat-flip certainly put an exclamation point on the blast:

Nobody does it like Puig.

Instead of cheering with the rest of Yankee Stadium after a home run, one New York Yankees fan threw a temper tantrum because she wasn't able to snag the ball.

Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira hit a no-doubter in the fourth inning of Saturday's game to bring his team within one run of the Tampa Bay Rays. Although a home run is cause for celebration, one female fan went berserk after the ball appeared to land within reach only to bounce away:

David Freese had to leave Friday's game against the Texas Rangers after being struck on the right hand with a pitch. Not surprisingly, he was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Saturday. 

From the official Twitter account of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim:

Extra innings in baseball can test a player's stamina. When you're tired, bored and frustrated, what's the one thing that can pep you up?

Ice cream!

What's the first big purchase we've seen Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout make since signing his new six-year, $144.5 million contract? A great gift for his mom. 

New York Mets pitcher Bartolo Colon has been the butt of some jokes this season already, but unlike some of his other blunders that were under his control, the latest crack at Colon is not his fault.

It's a good thing that Clayton Kershaw is coming back soon. The Los Angeles Dodgers lost another starting pitcher, with Hyun-Jin Ryu headed for the disabled list.

Miami Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton is up to his usual tricks this season, with eight home runs and 32 RBI through 28 games heading into Friday's contest against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
