The New York Yankees are looking for bullpen help right now.

Brian Cashman acknowledged that "the bullpen is struggling right now."

The Yankees have a 3.50 bullpen ERA, sixth-best in baseball, but Tyler Clippard has struggled lately.

If the Detroit Tigers decide to move Justin Verlander, there will be many teams interested.

Verlander is one of the highest-paid players in the Major League Baseball and is on a multi-year deal. He is due $28 million a year for this year and two more plus a vesting option for $22 million in 2020.

A person with knowledge of the situation put the chances for a trade of ace pitcher Verlander at a "3" on a (1 to 10 scale).

Jeffrey Loria is nearing a decision on the sale of the Miami Marlins and is prepared to sell the club for less than the originally reported $1.3 billion price tag, according to a report.

It was reported on Thursday afternoon that the Marlins had made "significant progress" on a sale and were expected to receive $1.1-$1.3 billion from the group that is being led by Tagg Romney, Tom Glavine and Wayne Rothbaum or the group that is led by Derek Jeter.

The Washington Nationals will be without Trea Turner indefinitely because of a broken wrist.

Turner was hit in the right wrist by a 96 mph fastball from Chicago Cubs reliever Pedro Strop in the seventh inning on Thursday night.

He remained in the game and caught a pop-up in the top of the eighth inning, but was replaced in the top of the ninth.

"I didn't know," Turner said. "I had tape on my wrist, so initially it didn't feel that bad. But I went out there and tried throwing. It hurt to lob the ball, but it felt fine when I threw it as hard as I could or basically full speed.

"So I stayed in there a little bit, and then after a little while it started stiffening up on me so I figured I'd get out of there. In a close game, didn't want to make a double-cut play or whatever it might be. I figured (Stephen) Drew might have a better shot or Difo. They'd have a better shot at playing some defense."

Turner, 24, is hitting .279/.324/.422 with seven home runs, 32 RBI and 35 stolen bases.

The New York Mets are considering whether or not to re-sign Bartolo Colon, according to a person familiar with the team's thinking.

Colon was designated for assignment by the Atlanta Braves on Thursday.

The Mets have an injury-plagued pitching staff. Colon was an All-Star with the club last season.

The 44-year-old was 2-8 with an 8.14 ERA in 13 starts before being designated.

Dustin Fowler suffered an open rupture of the patellar tendon in his right knee crashing into the first-base-line rail during Thursday night's game between the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox.

The injury occurred in the first inning of his Major League debut.

The Yankees said he would undergo surgery later in Thursday evening at Chicago's Rush University Medical Center. Joe Girardi said Fowler's season is over and he thought the recovery time would be at least six months and possibly longer.

"I was in tears, actually," Girardi said. "Because I know what it takes to get here and how hard he has worked and what is supposed to be a really exciting day for him turns into a really bad day. I'm still disbelief. I'm in tears for the kid."

Fowler, 22, batted .293 with 13 homers and 43 RBIs in 70 Triple-A games.

Koda Glover may not pitch for the Washington Nationals anytime soon.

Glover, who has been on the disabled list with lower back stiffness, revealed Wednesday that he has "severe inflammation of the rotator cuff and two strains" in his right shoulder.

There is no timetable for Glover's return, but he hasn't been cleared to start throwing yet.

"It's obviously frustrating," he said. "You want to play. It's what you wake up to do. It’s your job. But it's one of them things where it's kind of out of your control. I'm just doing what I can to get healthy and be back as soon as possible."

Kris Bryant left Wednesday night's game against the Washington Nationals after stepping awkwardly on third base following his catch of a pop fly in the fifth inning.

Bryant has a mild to moderate sprain of his right ankle, according to the Chicago Cubs. He won't play on Thursday and the club isn't sure if he will need to go on the 10-day disabled list.

"The awkward momentum off the base caused it," Joe Maddon said. "I was watching closely. It was more painful than you might think, but I've done it, so you know it can really be a sprain.

"It's unfortunate. Hopefully, it's just going to be a couple days."

Hanley Ramirez was surprised to be told that he's hitting just .143 against left-handed pitching this season.

Ramirez was out of the lineup of the Boston Red Sox for a third consecutive game Wednesday night after taking a pitch off the knee Sunday. While speaking with reporters after batting practice he was informed that he's 5-for-35 with eight strikeouts in 45 plate appearances against lefties.

"You're kidding me," Ramirez said. "It took you long enough to tell me that. I didn't know that, for real. So OK, after this conversation, let's see what's going to happen now. I'll say it: Bring it, OK? I didn't know. I swear. Interesting. Thank you."

Ramirez hit .346 against lefties last season and has a .300 career average against southpaws.

"We know it's not to that [2016] level yet, but we're not going to give up on him by any means and say this isn't going to happen," John Farrell said. "We see stretches where the impact of the baseball is to all fields. That's always been the goal to get him to that. He's not giving up on himself, and we're not giving up on him."

The Chicago Cubs have designated Miguel Montero for assignment after he publicly called out Jake Arrieta for allowing seven stolen bases against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night.

"That's the reason they were running left and right today, because they were slow to the plate," Montero said as he criticized Arrieta and the Chicago pitching staff for Washington's baserunning success. "Simple as that. It's a shame it's my fault because I didn't throw anyone out."

Montero said he apologized on Wednesday to Arrieta and that the teammates were on good terms. However, Theo Epstein and Joe Maddon both said the catcher's comments necessitated a roster change.

"When something goes wrong on the field we expect our players to take the blame, step up and proactively assume the blame for it, even if it's not their fault," Epstein said. "That's the way to be a good teammate. He completely agreed when it was pointed out to him and he apologized.

"After thinking about it some more, I just came to the conclusion that now more than ever we need to be a team. This was an example of being a bad teammate publicly and that we'd be better off moving on and not standing for it."
