Five Teams Looking At Colorado's Fuentes?

A host of teams are interested in Rockies reliever Brian Fuentes as the All-Star break approaches, according to The New York Post.

The Mets, Yankees, Phillies, Red Sox, and Athletics are all interested in the services of Fuentes, who has a 2.05 ERA with 13 saves this season.

The Yankees are in dire need of a left arm in the bullpen, but Philadelphia looks like the front-runner as they have reported offered 22-year-old righty Fabio Castro.

Colorado's Tulowitzki Returns To Field

Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki returned to the lineup for the team on Friday night against the Mets, according to The Rocky Mountain News.

Tulowitzki missed 46 games with a torn tendon in his left quadriceps.

"I?m not going to do anything to win a game by myself," he said. "I just want to mesh in with what is already going on."

Tulowitzki finished the game 0-for-4.

"I?m still young, and the muscles heal quicker. I put in a lot of work to get back as soon as I?m getting back," he added.
