NOTABLE
The Rockies placed shortstop Troy Tulowitzki on the 15-day disabled list with a cut on his right hand. Tulowitzki missed 46 games earlier this season because of a left quadriceps tendon tear. The shortstop sliced his right palm when he pounded his bat into the ground in frustration and it shattered. The accident occurred Friday night after he was replaced by Omar Quintanilla in the seventh inning against the Marlins.
Pirates starter Tom Gorzelanny was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis, a day after the lefty gave up five runs in the fifth inning in a 9-1 loss to the Brewers.
Dodgers right-hander Brad Penny is expected to be out through the All-Star break after shutting down a simulated game yesterday with more pain in his shoulder. Penny has been on the disabled list since June 15.
