Craig Kimbrel and Dallas Keuchel finally have jobs, and each also has a chance to affect the playoff race in the National League.It was no surprise they both ended up with contenders. Kimbrel signed with the Chicago Cubs, Keuchel with the Atlanta Braves. If the season ended now, those teams would be in the postseason, and adding these pitchers could be the equivalent of making a major pickup at the trade deadline — only the Cubs and Braves did it sooner.Kimbrel's role with Chicago isn't hard to predict. The 31-year-old closer has 333 saves in his career, including 42 last year with the champion Red Sox. The Cubs have been without closer Brandon Morrow, who is coming off elbow surgery. They have some other relievers with closing experience in Steve Cishek, Brandon Kintzler and Pedro Strop, and even without Kimbrel, they're atop the NL Central at the moment. But slotting Kimbrel in as the closer could create a domino effect that makes the whole bullpen more imposing.Keuchel joins an Atlanta... [More]

NEW YORK (AP) — The banged-up New York Yankees are finally starting to get some of their bats back.Third baseman Miguel Andújar is set to come off the injured list Saturday, and the team hopes infielder DJ LeMahieu will return to the lineup that day as well. Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier is scheduled to follow on Monday, when center fielder Aaron Hicks could begin a minor league rehab assignment.With 13 players still on the IL, manager Aaron Boone gave a long rundown of medical status reports Friday before New York opened its homestand with a 6-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins."Slowly but surely, we feel like we're making some progress," Boone said.Maybe he spoke a little too soon.Hours later, James Paxton exited his start after three innings because of soreness in his left knee. The team said Paxton will undergo an MRI on Saturday.The oft-injured lefty, acquired from Seattle in an offseason trade, threw only half his 64 pitches for strikes on a nippy, 51-degree night."It's just something...

Initially, the fear was he might need surgery that would jeopardize the remainder of his season, but Andújar responded well to a rehab program and rejoined the Yankees on Friday."That's our expectation, that he will be back...
