Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter left in the seventh inning of the team's 11-2 win over the Indians on Monday. Jeter was replaced by Ramiro Pena after reaching base on a single up the middle with one out. He was hit by a pitch on the back of his left thigh in the second inning and his left hamstring subsequently "stiffened up." "We won't really know [until] tomorrow," manager Joe Girardi said when asked about the extent of Jeter's injury. "He got hit in the back of the hamstring and it stiffened up."

The Rangers have placed outfielder Nelson Cruz on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring. Texas was hoping Cruz could avoid his second stint on the DL this season. Cruz is hitting .327 with 10 homers and 34 RBIs in 34 games this season.

Red Sox pitcher Josh Beckett expressed frustration over his lower-back, which has forced him to slow down his rehab process. Beckett said he needs to be 100 percent before he picks up a baseball again. He was scheduled to come off the 15-day disabled list on June 3, but that's unlikely given his recent setback. "It's Groundhog Day right now," Beckett said Sunday. "Just trying to get things better."

The Angels received some good news on Sunday when doctors informed them that they could get first baseman Kendry Morales back by the end of the season. "There's never a good fracture for a professional athlete, but this is probably one of the better ones to have if you had to have one," team orthopedist Lewis Yocum said. "We're hopeful that he'll get back this season." The Angels held a team meeting Sunday morning in which manager Mike Scioscia laid down new parameters for celebrating game-winning home runs. Morales injured himself celebrating a grand slam on Saturday night.

Even a few hours after he took a line drive off his head, Indians pitcher David Huff was cracking jokes and trying to make people laugh. A day later, he thought he?d be ready to make his next start, according to an Associated Press report on Sunday. New York?s Alex Rodriguez hit an RBI double off the side of Huff?s head in the third inning of Saturday?s game.

Angels outfielder Torii Hunter left Saturday's game against the Mariners after getting hit on his left hand by a pitch from Felix Hernandez. Hunter was taken to a hospital for precautionary X-rays, which were negative. Los Angeles is listing Hunter as day-to-day.

The Red Sox have placed outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury back on the disabled list with a rib injury. He came off the disabled list after missing five weeks last Saturday. Boston activated him under the belief that the injury wouldn't worsen, but that he wasn't fully healed. "[They] basically advised me that I needed to be at a further state of healing before I resume play," Ellsbury said. "To this point, right now I really don't have a timeline for when I'm coming back. Just talking with the medical staff, I'm going to do everything I can to get back on the field as soon as possible."

Yankees catcher Jorge Posada may return earlier than expected after landing on the disabled list with a broken bone in his right foot. "He does feel better," Joe Girardi said Thursday. Posada hasn't played since May 16. "We will come up with a course of action," Girardi said. "See when he can start baseball activities. We have to see how he is moving." The catcher was initially expected to miss three to four weeks.

Phillies reliever Brad Lidge is hoping to return next week when the team battles the Braves. "They haven't let me get that far in planning," Lidge said of playing in a series that begins Monday, "but it does look that way." Lidge threw 25 fastballs in a bullpen session Tuesday, his first work off a mound since the Phillies' medical staff injected his inflamed right elbow with a shot of cortisone on May 17.

Red Sox starting pitcher Josh Beckett was scheduled to throw a side session on Friday. Beckett has been on the disabled list since May 19 with a lower back strain. "I hope so," manager Terry Francona said before Thursday's game. "Things are backed up a little bit today because of our late arrival. I just went down to check with [pitching] coach [John] Farrell about that, and it's backed up a little bit. So if [Beckett] throws his side [Friday], everything has [gone] really well. If we need to back it up another day or whatever, we will." Beckett can come off the DL on June 3.
