LHP Tommy Milone (left knee sprain) was transferred from the 10-day to the 60-day disabled list. The move allowed the Mets to call up RHP Chasen Bradford from Triple-A Las Vegas and add him to the 40-man roster.

1B Adrian Gonzalez told the Orange County Register that he may retire when his contract ends if his back injury does not improve. He is on his second DL stint because of two damaged disks in his lower back. This was the first time he has ever been on the DL, but he said he has been dealing with intermittent back pain since 2012. His contract expires after the 2018 season. He had an epidural this week and there's no timetable for his return.

RF Yasiel Puig tried to shrug off the frustration he caused the Mets Wednesday with a leisurely run around the bases after his three-run home run. He said he went to the plate motivated because Mets starter Tyler Pill had walked Joc Pederson before he came to the plate. "They elected to pitch to me instead of (Joc)," Puig said. "They thought it would be the same result as my first at-bat (a grounder to third). They figured I was an easier out." Said Mets outfielder Jay Bruce: "He is very, very talented, but he's not David Ortiz. He doesn't have 500 home runs. He's been a topic of conversation since he's been in the major leagues, so I'm never surprised by anything he does."

LHP Julio Urias, the Dodgers' top pitching prospect who was 5-2 last season, will return to Los Angeles for medical tests related to an inflamed left shoulder. Urias, who was sent to Triple-A Oklahoma City after struggling early this season, was put on the OKC DL more than a week ago. Initial tests did not find any structural damage. "We don't have anything definitive to share at this point on Julio," Dodgers GM Andrew Friedman told the L.A. Times. "We are actively talking through it and will hopefully have something more substantive to report."

RHP Kenley Jansen is on a path to a record season. He has 16 saves, a 0.87 ERA and 50 strikeouts in 112 opponent at-bats. He holds the MLB record for most strikeouts without issuing a walk to start a season (50) and he's setting new standards for a popular new stat, FIP (fielding independent pitching), which uses walks, strikeouts and home runs as the only standard. The record for fewest walks in a season with a minimum of 50 innings is held by Dennis Eckersley, who yielded just three in 1989.

SS Jose Reyes is hitting .183 in his last 20 games. He hit a pair of home runs off Clayton Kershaw earlier this week to give him six on the season. With 1,415 hits, he is third on the Mets' all-time list, trailing Ed Kranepool (1,418) in second. He needs two stolen bases for 500, which would make one of just 39 players in baseball history with 500.

CF Curtis Granderson hit the 44th leadoff home run of his career, tying Ian Kinsler for the lead among active players.

In 19 games this month, Granderson is hitting .313 with eight runs, five home runs and eight RBIs.

DH Victor Martinez, who was put on the 10-day disabled June 16 with an irregular heartbeat that required hospitalization, has begun light cardio workouts and hitting off a tee, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. In 60 games this season, Martinez is batting .261 with five home runs and 29 RBIs.

LHP Daniel Norris (4-5) struggled with his command early Thursday, and that cost him. Norris walked two of the first three batters in the second, which led to a three-run inning. He also gave up a two-run homer to Robinson Cano in the third. Norris allowed five hits in six innings, but he also gave up five runs. He walked three and struck out five.

LF Justin Upton hit a run-scoring single in the eighth inning to extend his hitting streak to seven games and his run of reaching base to 20 games. In the past 20 games, Upton is hitting .342 with five home runs and 26 RBIs.

3B Nicholas Castellanos went 2-for-3 and has hits in 16 of his 20 games this month. He's batting .303 with four homers and 12 RBIs during that stretch.

RHP Felix Hernandez is scheduled to return from the disabled list and start Friday against Houston. Hernandez (2-2, 4.73 ERA) has been on the DL since April 26 with bursitis in his right shoulder. "I don't care who I face, I'm just happy to be back -- finally," said Hernandez, who has won both his starts at Safeco Field this season.

2B Robinson Cano hit two home runs, including a grand slam, and matched his career-high with six RBIs in a 9-6 victory against Detroit. Cano has 13 home runs this season. "For me, it's not about how many home runs I hit," Cano said. "I'm just trying to do my job with runners in scoring position."

RHP A.J. Cole was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse. He had been recalled from Syracuse on June 18, He is 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA in one start for the Nationals this season.
