Dallas Keuchel, who has been wearing a removable cast to immobilize his hand, took it off and threw on Sunday.

Keuchel missed his scheduled start on Saturday with inflammation in his throwing hand.

"The swelling has gone done, and the training staff is good with how it's progressed, so if they're comfortable, I'm comfortable," the left-hander said.

Depending on how the hand feels when Keuchel wakes up Monday and beyond, he could only miss the one start.

The Washington Nationals are expected to activate Bryce Harper from the disabled list before Monday night's game against the Colorado Rockies, according to sources.

Harper will be in the lineup and playing left field. The Nationals haven't made a formal announcement.

He hasn't played a Major League game since April 25, when he tore an ulnar collateral ligament in the left thumb while sliding headfirst into third base against the San Diego Padres.

Harper played five Minor League games this past week and went a combined 9-for-14 [.643] with four home runs and 10 RBIs for Class A Potomac and Double-A Harrisburg.

Carlos Gomez says his neck is OK after he had to leave Saturday night's game against the Colorado Rockies following a collision in the outfield with Ryan Braun.

Gomez suffered a neck strain. He was scared initially after feeling a tingling sensation throughout his body. He had a headache and sore neck, but passed a concussion test.

He was not in the starting lineup for the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday.

Gomez also hurt his head Friday night after sliding headfirst into second and glancing off second baseman Josh Rutledge's leg.

"We have extra players, so we decided to have a day after I [got] hit twice in the head," Gomez said. "Everything is fine. The neck is OK."

The A's returned Josh Reddick to the 15-day disabled list Sunday after the outfielder aggravated a previous knee injury, according to an ESPN.com report.

"Until we get the MRI we're not sure, but regardless it was the feeling of the training staff that he wouldn't be available," manager Bob Melvin said before Sunday's game at the Marlins. 

Justin Masterson threw a bullpen session on Saturday and convinced the Indians that he was recovered from a sore knee. He will rejoin the rotation Tuesday against the Dodgers.

"He's all set for Tuesday," manager Terry Francona said, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

A's right fielder Josh Reddick is sidelined again by a sore right knee, according to an ESPN.com report.

Reddick left Saturday's game at Miami in the fourth inning after he re-aggravated the injury, and he's scheduled to have an MRI exam Sunday.

Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper went 4-for-5 with three home runs and five RBIs in a rehab start for Double-A Harrisburg in Akron, Ohio on Saturday night.

Harper served as the designated hitter and batted third for the Senators in his third rehab appearance.

Mets third baseman David Wright has been prescribed rest and anti-inflammatory medication for his ailing left shoulder but will not require surgery, a source told ESPNNewYork.com.

The Mets captain is believed to favor avoiding the disabled list, but that ultimately will be determined by general manager Sandy Alderson. 

Mets third baseman David Wright was scratched from Friday night's lineup and is being sent to New York for an MRI on his ailing left shoulder, according to an ESPN.com report.

Wright indicated he had been experiencing discomfort in his non-throwing shoulder for three weeks,

The Los Angeles Dodgers say Hanley Ramirez is day-to-day with a bruised right shoulder.

An MRI done on Thursday revealed no structural damage. Ramirez has missed three straight games.

He was examined by Dodgers doctor Neal ElAttrache.

Ramirez has been bothered by an irritated A.C. joint for more than two weeks. On June 11, he received a cortisone injection in his shoulder and played less than 48 hours later, but the pain flared back up when he was hitting Monday night.
