Oakland Athletics starting pitcher A.J. Griffin is reportedly likely to undergo Tommy John surgery next week to alleviate the discomfort in his injured right throwing elbow.

A source informed Joe Stiglich of Comcast SportsNet California, and he passed along the news of the ominous development for the A's on Friday:

However, San Francisco Chronicle reporter Susan Slusser has different information:

The Pittsburgh Pirates may have been the surprise playoff team from the National League last season, but they are off to a disappointing 9-14 start in 2014. To make matters worse, they got some injury news on Friday.

The team’s official Twitter page let fans know of the developments regarding pitcher Jason Grilli:

Major League Baseball's early returns on the new replay system have been mixed, though at least Bud Selig and the umpires have seen enough to know that a catch is a catch even when a player drops a ball transferring it from the glove to his hand. 

New York Yankees starting pitcher Michael Pineda was recently suspended 10 games after not so subtly using pine tar from his neck against the Boston Red Sox.

Washington Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman will be out four to six weeks after fracturing his right thumb on Saturday night against the Atlanta Braves, per Mark Zuckerman of CSNWashington.com:

Giancarlo Stanton is no stranger to hitting long home runs. This solo shot off of Jonathan Pettibone in the 5th inning was no different, landing above the outfield seats in the concession area.

Here's a look at the play:

The San Francisco Giants' Madison Bumgarner helped his own cause Friday night with this bomb into the seats versus the Colorado Rockies.

With the bases full, Bumgarner crushed the first pitch he saw from Jorge De La Rosa in the fourth inning.
