Boston Red Sox infielder Romy Gonzalez (back) is fine after being involved in a collision in Wednesday's win over the visiting Texas Rangers at Fenway Park, according to manager Alex Cora, but he was pulled after his back stiffened up on him.

Chicago Cubs closer Ryan Pressly faced eight hitters without recording an out and allowed nine runs (eight earned) in the extra-inning loss to the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night.

Colorado Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber (shoulder) has increased his long-toss distance out to 90 feet, according to MLB.com's Thomas Harding.
