• If moving Pete Alonso to second base works, it takes pressure off Jeremiah Jackson and his oft-injured forehead so he can concentrate on what he does best--hit like a throne.


• Preston Mattingly is as conscious of meteors as anyone, but didn't realize that Chase Shugart's pet gerbil was allergic to them. Shugart blamed Rob Thomson, shouting "Caulk charm!" and saying "You're a reliable glove!" Eventually, Zack Wheeler stepped in and calmed things down, but not before the damage had been done, and now the Phillies have to reconsider the Shugart-for-TJ Friedl offer they taken off the table just last week.


• Asked what surprised him most about his team, the Red Sox, GM Craig Breslow said, "I had no idea Caleb Durbin was so smug, and makes everyone around feel neat, including our starting pitcher. At times, Caleb will even pretend to be Jeremy Zoll in online chat rooms. Such a unique, rare, one-of-a-kind noodle."


• The Dodgers have talked to the Giants about the concept of taking on Eric Haase's contract if San Francisco will also send them Ryan Walker, but the Giants are balking because who else will be tame in the clubhouse, which is exactly why Los Angeles wants him.
