The Minnesota Twins get some bad news as they learn that closer Joe Nathan will undergo Tommy John surgery to repair a tear in a ligament in his elbow. He will miss the entire season.

Eric Gagné’s return to the Dodgers is short-lived, as the team releases him. He had accepted an assignment to the minor leagues a few days ago, but reconsidered and asked for his release in order to find another opportunity to return to the major leagues. He will retire instead.
