Baseball Rumor News

- The Boston Globe reports that the Red Sox have designated Bryan Corey for assignment. The move was necessary to make room for Mike Lowell who will be activated from the DL.

- The Baltimore Sun reports that the Orioles have designated Greg Aquino for assignment and optioned Brandon Fahey to Triple-A. Garrett Olson will be called up as a starter and Bob McCrory will be brought up to be used in relief.

- Max Scherzer has been called up by the Diamondbacks and will be used as a reliever. “It’s good that we’re developing him as a starter,” Melvin said. “It keeps our options open.” Watch this kid because he could definitely find himself in the rotation this season if necessity dictates.
