The hits just keep on coming for the San Francisco Giants this season. Starting pitcher Matt Cain will be the latest Bay Area star to go on the disabled list. 

The team's Twitter account provides the details:

Mets pitching coach Dan Warthen had a little trouble using the bullpen phone during Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. 

Those latches can be a little tricky sometimes.

Toronto Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista was forced to leave the first game of Tuesday's double-header against the New York Yankees and was placed on the disabled list shortly after the teams' nightcap. 

Sportsnet's Shi Davidi has the news:

Yasiel Puig had a rough start to the day, but he knows how to finish in style.

The Los Angeles Dodgers superstar was late to the ballpark for pregame drills prior to the team's meeting with the Miami Marlins and was fined for his tardiness.

Dodgers beat writer Bill Plunkett was first to break the news.

Add another item to Yasiel Puig's list of transgressions this season. 

The 22-year-old burgeoning star showed up late to Marlins Park before the Dodgers' game in Miami on Tuesday and was subsequently hit with a fine, per Dodgers.com's Ken Gurnick:

On August 20, 2001, Ken Griffey Jr. hit a walk-off inside-the-park home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to give the Reds a 5-4 win over the Cardinals. 

The Kid had a batting average of .286 and hit 22 home runs in 111 games for Cincinnati in 2001.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Ryan Dempster decided to practice vigilante justice on Sunday night when he threw at New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez.

UPDATE: Tuesday, Aug. 20, at 7:22 p.m. ET

If it wasn't so clearly laid out, this might be a time when there would be crying in baseball.

Last night, Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips was hit in the knee by a pitch in the bottom of the seventh inning.

The pitch was ruled a strike, however, because Phillips swung at it and was called out.

It appears that Brian Cashman's opinion only means so much when it comes to how the New York Yankees handle their roster. 

Boston Red Sox star David Ortiz was ejected from Saturday night's road game against the Baltimore Orioles after smashing the bullpen phone in the visiting dugout.
