导出博客文章DETROIT -- The Detroit Tigers added some help for their shaky bullpen Monday, acquiring reliever Jose Veras from the Houston Astros for minor league outfielder Danry Vasquez and a player to be named. Cheap Air Max 95 Free Shipping . Veras is 0-4 with a 2.93 ERA and 19 saves this season, and the 32-year-old right-hander has struck out 44 in 43 innings with only 14 walks. "We are pleased to add an experienced arm to our bullpen," Detroit general manager Dave Dombrowski said. "Jose can pitch in a variety of roles, provides depth in the bullpen, and complements the roles of Joaquin Benoit and Drew Smyly." Detroit entered the season with a lot of uncertainty at the closer spot, and although Benoit has pitched well in that role of late, the AL Central-leading Tigers still needed bullpen depth. Aside from Benoit and Smyly, none of their other relievers have been all that effective on a consistent basis. Veras has been a steady contributor while bouncing from team to team in recent years. He posted a 3.75 ERA with Florida in 2010, a 3.80 ERA with Pittsburgh in 2011 and a 3.63 ERA with Milwaukee last season. Houston signed him to a one-year deal last off-season, and the last-place Astros could certainly afford to trade their closer if the opportunity to acquire a solid prospect presented itself. Vasquez is only 19, but he was ranked by Baseball America as the sixth-best prospect in Detroits system before this season. Vasquez hit .281 with five home runs and 39 RBIs in 96 games for Class A West Michigan this year. "We are excited to get an outfield prospect of Danrys calibre. He adds to an already formidable group of prospects at the A ball level," Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said. "Jose will be missed as a team leader both on and off the field." Benoit has converted all 10 of his save chances for the Tigers this season, and the left-handed Smyly is 4-0 with a 1.77 ERA in 61 innings. In Veras, Detroit now adds a right-hander who can pitch in the late innings. Before this trade, the Tigers top right-handed options in the late innings -- aside from Benoit -- were probably Al Alburquerque and Bruce Rondon. Alburquerque has struggled with his control, and although the hard-throwing Rondon has looked better lately, hes still fairly unproven. Detroits deadline deals have worked out well the last couple years. The Tigers acquired starter Doug Fister from Seattle in 2011 and added starter Anibal Sanchez and second baseman Omar Infante in a deal with the Marlins in 2012. Not only did those three players provide help when they arrived, but theyre also all still with the team. This trade probably wont generate as much buzz as those deals, but it helps fill a need for a Detroit team thats hoping to return to the World Series after being swept by San Francisco a year ago.

DENVER -- The Miami Marlins open a three-game series Friday against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field with Ichiro Suzuki on the cusp of history.Suzuki is two hits shy of 3,000 but has gone hitless in his past 10 at-bats. Ichiro, the Marlins fourth outfielder, has started two of Miamis past 13 games because of the Marlins formidable outfield starters -- Christian Yelich, Marcel Ozuna and Giancarlo Stanton.The three-game series with the Rockies concludes a six-game road trip for the Marlins, who open a six-game homestand Monday. Miami manager Don Mattingly said he wanted Ichiro to reach the 3,000-hit milestone when the Marlins were home, but hes been mostly pinch-hitting because the three starting outfielders have been well and the Marlins (57-51) are tied with St. Louis for the second wild-card spot -- three games ahead of Colorado.We go back to the context of winning, and thats where Ichiro fits into this thing perfectly, Mattingly said. I dont think he wants me to just put him in there to get this thing done and sacrifice the team when youve got somebody else thats going good.The left-handed hitting Ichiro is likely to be on the bench Friday when left-hander Jorge De La Rosa starts for the Rockies. De La Rosa is 7-7 with a 5.51 ERA and earned his 100th career win in his last start Saturday at the Mets when he gave up two runs and six hits in six innings as the Rockies won 7-2.In nine starts since moving back into the rotation June 14, De La Rosa is 5-3 with a 3.54 ERA.David Phelps, who is 5-5 with a 2.65 ERA, starts for the Marlins. He threw 55 pitches on Saturday while working 2 2/3 scoreless innings against St. Louis and will be making his first start after 50 relief appearances this season as the Marliins try to move him into the rotation to stabilize their No. Cheap Air Max 95 Outlet. 5 spot. Phelps will be on a limit of about 70-to-75 pitches when he faces the Rockies in his 60th career start.While the Marlins wait to celebrate with Ichiro when he makes history, the Rockies are concerned with more mundane matters, namely their depth at shortstop.Rookie Trevor Story is done for the season after undergoing surgery Thursday to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb. In his absence, the Rockies planned to have Daniel Descalso, Cristhian Adames and Rafael Ynoa, who was recalled when Story was placed on the disabled list, handle the position.However, Descalso suffered a left shoulder contusion while playing left field Thursday and had to leave the game after the third inning. He stumbled making a catch on drive hit by Corey Seager of the Los Angeles Dodgers and hit the wall with his neck and shoulder.When he addressed the media after the game, manager Walt Weiss said he had not talked with trainer Keith Dugger about Descalso.But he was having a hard time swinging the bat, so I had to get him out of there, Weiss said. It didnt look real good. He kind of got folded up there against the wall. Any time a guy runs into the wall and you see his neck get in a position like that, its concerning.The Rockies on Friday will have to evaluate Descalso and determine if and when he can play shortstop.Were a little nicked up right now, Weiss said. Its not really a position that we can take on any more (adversity), but if thats the case, well deal with it. Well be fine, just like we have been.
