Plans for Jayson Werth’s rehab took a detour on Saturday. But this time, that was a good thing.

Bryce Harper Harper will be shut down for at least the next 10 days as he allows his left knee bursitis to fully heal. “I’m not hitting or running,” said Harper. “I’ll probably start that the middle or the end of next week, if I feel good. If I don’t, I’ll keep off of it.”

Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre was not in the lineup for Sunday’s rubber game against the Royals due to a mild strain in his left hamstring. He is listed as day to day, but could return on Tuesday for series opener at Fenway Park.

Zack Wheeler breezed through another strong outing Saturday night at Triple-A Las Vegas, striking out six over six innings of one-run ball. His ERA is down to 3.76, he has whiffed more than a batter per inning and he is almost certainly now weeks away from his big league debut. None of it has registered on Terry Collins’ radar.

Every lineup, every day, as they are made public by the clubs.

After Yankees manager Joe Girardi gave David Ortiz a free ride to load the bases with one out in the top of the third, Mike Napoli belted a 2-2 offering from Phil Hughes over the wall in right-center as the Red Sox posted an 11-1 win over their rivals on Saturday night.

Tim Hudson’s determined effort was rewarded when B.J. Upton halted his early-season struggles with a 10th-inning single that gave the Braves a 2-1 win over the Nationals on Saturday night at Turner Field.

Following the same blueprint that worked so effectively in the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader, the Cardinals coasted to a 7-1 win over the Giants in the nightcap at Busch Stadium.

After taking a no-decision in his last start, Hiroki Kuroda gets the ball opposite Clay Buchholz as the Yankees and Red Sox close out their three-game set Sunday night.

Josh Reddick delivered his second game-winning RBI in as many days as the A’s won, 4-3, on his bases-loaded walk Saturday against the White Sox.

Amazingly, Miguel Cabrera was not part of the Tigers’ first back-to-back-to-back home runs in 12 years. He got involved in Saturday’s fourth inning soon enough, hitting a grand slam in Detroit’s 10-3 win over the Orioles.

An MRI confirmed Saturday that Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg sustained a mild lat strain on his right side Friday night during his start. The Nationals will wait to determine if Strasburg will have to go on the disabled list.

The Nationals on Saturday placed Bryce Harper, who has missed the past five games due to bursitis in his left knee, on the 15-day DL, retroactive to Monday.

Bernando LaPallo never thought he would live to see a new Yankee Stadium, but on Saturday night, the 111-year-old was in attendance as the Yankees faced the Red Sox.

The Padres needed every ounce from their bullpen Friday as they were locked in a 17-inning marathon game that did not end until Saturday morning, when Jesus Guzman singled home Jedd Gyorko as the Padres defeated the Blue Jays, 4-3.

The Rays topped the Indians, 9-2, on Friday — actually, Saturday morning — even though unrelenting rain rendered undefeated pitcher Matt Moore moot and delayed the affair for nearly five hours. The triumph gave Tampa Bay its sixth straight win.

Dallas Keuchel went seven strong innings and every starter notched at least one hit as the Astros downed the Angels, 6-3, on Friday in Anaheim.
