The good news is that Scherzer's injury doesn't appear to be serious, per Jon Morosi of FoxSports.com.

Morosi tweeted on Tuesday:

Max Scherzer has no structural damage. He will not throw for a couple days, will be analyzed from there.

Shortstop Yunel Escobar has been suspended for three games by the Toronto Blue Jays, according to Dan Shulman of ESPN.

Shulman tweeted on Tuesday:

The Baltimore Orioles' 12-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night meant more than your average, everyday win. When the Yankees lost to the Tampa Bay Rays a bit later, Baltimore pulled even in the American League East standings.

Out with the old, and in with the new—that is what the future holds for the San Diego Padres.

After months of waiting, the sale of the Padres to a group headed by former Los Angeles Dodgers President and CEO Peter O'Malley has been completed and will head for a vote by MLB Commissioner Bud Selig and the other 29 owners to approve and finalize the transaction.

The vote is scheduled to take place on Aug. 16 at the owners' meeting in Denver.

The Padres ownership saga is unofficially complete.

John Moores has agreed to a deal to sell the San Diego Padres to the O'Malley group, according to The Union-Tribune San Diego. The price? A figure close to $800 million.

As if the Baltimore Orioles faithful were not stoked after Wei-Yin Chen’s brilliant performance against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night, Manny Machado just chimed in with his own from down on the farm.

Jose Canseco, age 48, has left the Worcester Tornadoes of the Can-Am League and signed with the independent Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings of the North American League. 

The Valley Morning Star reports that Canseco—still an official member of the Tornadoes—will make his debut with the WhiteWings in the coming days. 

The Washington Nationals have struggled behind the plate this season after Wilson Ramos was lost to injury in May.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the Philadelphia Phillies recently waived starting pitcher Cliff Lee’s contract.

Shortly after these reports were made public, other reports surfaced that Lee had been claimed by the Los Angeles Dodgers.

After yet another injury-riddled game, the Blue Jays have made yet another roster move. Only this time, it wasn't the wounded that were sent off. This time, it was the ineffectual that that were banished.

As a result of another poor outing, the Jays have demoted left-handed pitcher Brett Cecil from the Major League club. As the counter move, the team has recalled shortstop prospect Adeiny Hechavarria from the Las Vegas 51's, the club's AAA affiliate.
