Mets: Jose Reyes, who became a free agent Saturday, was signed to a minor-league contract. The 33-year-old Reyes primarily played shortstop for the Mets from 2003-11 but may be used in a utility role in his reunion with the team. Reyes was cut by the Rockies after serving a 59-day suspension for violating Major League Baseball's domestic violence policy. The Rockies are responsible for the $39 million remaining on his contract, minus the prorated share of the $507,500 major-league minimum to be paid by the Mets.

Nationals: Ace RHP Stephen Strasburg has been scratched from his scheduled start Sunday at Milwaukee. Manager Dusty Baker said Strasburg, who is 10-0 with a 2.90 ERA, felt pain in his back while throwing before Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Brewers. He missed his last scheduled start with an upper-back strain.

Royals: OF Alex Gordon was reinstated from the disabled list before the Royals' game against the Astros. The three-time All-Star and four-time Gold Glove winner fractured his right wrist in a May 22 collision with teammate Mike Moustakas, who suffered a season-ending torn right anterior cruciate ligament, while chasing a foul ball. In six rehab games with Triple-A Omaha and Double-A Northwest Arkansas, Gordon hit .364 with a .481 on-base percentage, .545 slugging percentage, one home run and five RBIs.

Yankees: 2B Starlin Castro drove home the tiebreaking run in the eighth inning and the Yankees edged the Twins 2-1 with more dominant pitching from the back end of their bullpen. Dellin Betances, Andrew Miller (5-0) and Aroldis Chapman combined to throw three scoreless innings for the third straight game. OF Brett Gardner had three hits for the Yankees and Carlos Beltran delivered an RBI single.

Pirates: OF Andrew McCutchen homered twice, Jeff Locke took a perfect game into the sixth inning, and the Pirates beat the Dodgers 6-1.

Extra innings: RHP Kevin Gausman took a two-hitter into the eighth inning to earn his first win and the Orioles extended the Rays' losing streak to nine with a 5-0 victory in the opener of a split doubleheader. ... Saying the play was reviewed by Elias Sports Bureau and MLB, the Tigers were credited with an extra run from the last play of Friday night's loss, making the final score 7-5 in favor of the Indians. It was determined that Tigers 2B Ian Kinsler had crossed the plate before the third out was recorded on a delayed double play, so his run counted.
