MLB notebook: Indians LHP Miller back on DL

The Cleveland Indians placed left-handed reliever Andrew Miller on the 10-day disabled list with a left shoulder impingement on Wednesday, his third trip to the DL this year.

Miller returned from the 60-day disabled list in early August after sitting out since May due to right knee soreness. He spent time on the 10-day DL earlier in the season due to a hamstring injury.

The 33-year-old is 2-3 with a 3.38 ERA in 27 appearances this season, striking out 33 and walking 13 in 24 innings. He had dropped his ERA from 4.40 before his 60-day DL stint to 3.13 before giving up a run Sunday against the Kansas City Royals.

In a corresponding move, the Indians recalled left-hander Tyler Olson from Triple-A Columbus.

--The Houston Astros placed All-Star right-hander Charlie Morton on the 10-day disabled list with right shoulder discomfort.

Morton is 13-3 this season and leads the American League with a .813 winning percentage. He ranks third on the team with 185 strikeouts and is seventh in the AL with a 3.14 ERA.

In a corresponding move, right-handed reliever Chris Devenski was reinstated from the 10-day DL and was active for Wednesday's game against Oakland.

--The Astros will hold a press conference Thursday to announce a contract extension for manager A.J. Hinch, according to multiple reports.

Terms of the expected extension are not yet known. Hinch, 44, is in the final guaranteed year of his contract, but his deal has a team option for 2019.

Hinch helped the Astros claim the first World Series title in franchise history last year in his third year leading the team. With a walk-off win Wednesday to move to 82-51, Houston has already ensured itself its fourth consecutive winning season under Hinch, who is 353-266 with the team.

--Boston Red Sox left-hander David Price left his start against the Miami Marlins after suffering a left wrist contusion when he was struck by a line drive.

Price was hit by a comebacker off the bat of Austin Dean to end the third inning. He immediately went to the clubhouse and did not return for the top of the fourth, with Hector Velazquez taking the mound in his place.

Price, who turned 33 on Sunday, entered the day 14-6 with a 3.50 ERA in 25 starts this season.

--The Atlanta Braves acquired first baseman Lucas Duda from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations.

The Braves will also receive cash in the deal, which is the first between the two teams since August 2015.

Duda, 32, is hitting .242 with 13 home runs and 48 RBIs in 87 games this season. He joined the Royals over the winter on a one-year, $3.5 million contract.

--The Toronto Blue Jays have placed third baseman Josh Donaldson on waivers with the hope of trading him by Friday, according to multiple reports. For players to be eligible for postseason action, they must be on their team's 40-man roster by Aug. 31.

The Jays, however, might be required to pull Donaldson off waivers after he was set to be held out of a rehab appearance at high Class-A Dunedin on Wednesday due to leg soreness. Dunedin's game eventually was postponed due to rain.

Donaldson, currently on the disabled list recovering from a left calf strain, has played just 36 games this season, hitting .234 with five home runs and 16 RBIs. The 32-year-old is making $23 million this year before becoming a free agent in the offseason.

--The St. Louis Cardinals placed third baseman Jedd Gyorko on the 10-day disabled list with a left groin strain, the team announced.

St. Louis activated outfielder Adolis Garcia from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move.

Gyorko departed Tuesday's game following a double in the eighth inning. The 29-year-old is batting .267 with 11 homers and 43 RBIs in 109 games this season.

--Washington Nationals reliever Ryan Madson has been claimed off waivers by the Los Angeles Dodgers, according to a report from MLB.com.

Teams have 48 hours to complete a trade after a claim is made.

Madson, who turned 38 on Tuesday, was activated from the disabled list on Monday following a bout with back discomfort. The right-hander is 2-5 with a 5.28 ERA in 49 appearances this season.
