Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Derek Law (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The 30-year-old recently had his contract purchased from Triple-A St. Paul.

The Minnesota Twins selected the contract of Juan Minaya from St. Paul on Saturday night. The transaction adds depth to the bullpen, primarily with the collective absences of Derek Law (shoulder), Danny Coulombe (personal), and Randy Dobnak (finger).

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford (hamstring) could be available off the bench on Saturday night against the Cardinals.

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Angel Perdomo was called up from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

Chicago Cubs closer Craig Kimbrel recorded his 21st save of the season on Saturday versus the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Randy Dobnak Transferred To 60-Day Injured List

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Randy Dobnak (finger) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Saturday. No surprise here, and the move is a way to open up room on the team's roster.

Bruce Zimmermann Expected Back In August

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said he expects left-hander Bruce Zimmermann (biceps) to return from the injured list in early to mid-August.
