As the Reds get to the final days before Tuesday's non-waiver Trade Deadline, general manager Walt Jocketty and his inner circle are huddled and looking at potential deals.

Contrary to some speculation on Friday, the Braves remain focused on attempting to find a top-flight starting pitcher before Tuesday's 4 p.m. ET Trade Deadline.

Twins third baseman Trevor Plouffe was a late scratch from the lineup against the Indians on Friday, and was placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to July 21 with a bruised right thumb. Third baseman Danny Valencia was recalled from Triple-A Rochester to take his place on the roster.

The Marlins have already made two major moves in a week. So the question remains: Are more deals set to come before Tuesday's non-waiver Trade Deadline?

The Cardinals hit home runs in each of the first five innings to establish a club record en route to a 9-6 win over the Cubs on Friday at Wrigley Field.

While Indians general manager Chris Antonetti stuck to his policy of not commenting on specific players, MLB.com has confirmed that the Indians have inquired about Padres third baseman Chase Headley. According to a report on ESPN.com, the four most aggressive suitors have been Baltimore, Oakland, Pittsburgh and Cleveland.

Yes, the Phillies have some irons in the fire with the Trade Deadline just four days away. But will they pull the trigger?

The Blue Jays are optimistic that Jose Bautista will begin swinging a bat sometime early next week. Bautista, who is on the 15-day disabled list, has been out since spraining his left wrist on July 16 in New York.

After taking Friday's opener with the Cubs, the Cardinals will look to extend their winning streak to five games on Saturday when they send Joe Kelly to the mound against Jeff Samardzija at Wrigley Field.

Any teams interested in Cubs pitcher Matt Garza will not be able to see him pitch before Tuesday's Trade Deadline, unless they watch his side sessions.

Ryan Dempster threw on the side Friday, hit with the Cubs pitchers, and then joined his teammates in the outfield during batting practice.

Fresh off Matt Harvey's energizing big league debut, the Mets will try to record a second straight win for the first time this month as Jon Niese takes the hill against the D-backs on Friday.

The Rockies didn't arrive in Denver until the wee hours of the morning following their game in Phoenix on Wednesday night. That didn't stop them from spending their Thursday afternoon with victims of last Friday's theater shooting in Aurora, Colo.

Matt Harvey struck out 11, a franchise record for a Major League debut, blanking the D-backs over 5 1/3 innings and leading the Mets to a 3-1 victory at Chase Field on Thursday.

At this point, the Mariners just may want to tell Jason Vargas they lost the night before he pitches, even if that's not the truth.

Just when things seemed to be looking up for the Twins after a road series victory in Kansas City, they return to Minneapolis in a state of disarray for a three-game series with Cleveland.
