Wilkes University launches first research symposium

Speedy outfielder Peter Bourjos and infielder Scooter Gennett were among the players on the go Tuesday as big league teams tweaked their rosters less than a week before opening day.The Tampa Bay Rays added some depth by getting Bourjos from the Chicago White Sox for cash or a player to be named.The 29-year-old Bourjos hit .251 with five homers and 23 RBIs in 123 games with Philadelphia last season. He signed a minor league contract with the White Sox on Jan. 30 and batted .313 in 19 spring training games.Cincinnati claimed Scooter Gennett off waivers from the Milwaukee Brewers, giving the Reds another option at second base and a utility player off the bench.Gennett grew up in Cincinnati and will make $2,525,000 this season. The 26-year-old hit .263 with a career-high 14 homers and 56 RBIs last season, but the Brewers decided to go with Jonathan Villar at second base.There was a noon Tuesday deadline for teams to make decisions on players who became free agents and agreed to minor league contracts, and several were given formal notice they will be added to 25-man rosters by opening day. Among them were White Sox catcher Geovany Soto, Angels right-hander Yusmeiro Petit, San Diego shortstop Erick Aybar, San Francisco third baseman Aaron Hill and Toronto catcher Jarrod SaltalamacchiaIn addition, teams paid $100,000 retention bonuses to six players with minor league contracts so they could keep them: Baltimore power hitter Pedro Alvarez; Kansas City right-hander Peter Moylan, Dodgers righty Brandon Morrow and Toronto right-hander Mat Latos.The Rays agreed to pay the $100,000 getting Bourjos. Tampa Bay also paid the bonus earlier this month to right-hander Tommy Hunter, whose contract had a March 15 deadline for the decision.Several familiar names were released, including Atlanta right-handers Kris Medlen, Baltimore outfielder Michael Bourn, Minnesota right-hander Ryan Vogelsong and Phillies catcher Ryan Hanigan. Teams can re-sign released players if they want to, avoiding the $100,000 retention bonus.Yankees tweak lineupTAMPA, Fla. &#8212; The New York Yankees will likely bat power-hitting catcher Gary Sanchez second in their lineup at the start of the season.Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Tuesday that he was leaning toward having Brett Gardner bat leadoff, followed by Sanchez, Greg Bird, Matt Holliday and Jacoby Ellsbury.Girardi said he had been thinking about breaking up the left-handed hitting Gardner and Ellsbury.&#8220;It makes it harder to navigate through our lineup,&#8221; Girardi said. &#8220;We feel like it&#8217;s a better situation for all of us. This could very well be similar to our opening day lineup.&#8221;Sanchez hit 20 homers in 53 games last season after being recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in early August. Bird has shown a power swing during spring training after missing all of last season with a shoulder injury.Girardi said it&#8217;s likely that Ronald Torreyes will start at short in place of Didi Gregorius, who will begin the season on the disabled list with a shoulder strain.Adam Warren, who was in the mix for the fifth starter spot, will work out of the bullpen.Orioles 5, Braves 4Baltimore starter Wade Miley gave up one run in four innings, Pedro Alvarez had a two-run single and Caleb Joseph got two hits.Jaime Garcia allowed three runs on eight hits in six innings for Atlanta. Freddie Freeman went 2 for 2 with an RBI.Cardinals 3, Mets 3Adam Wainwright gave up three runs on five hits with no walks over five innings for St. Louis. Matt Adams homered and had three hits and Jhonny Peralta got two hits. Matt Carpenter went 0 for 2 and is hitless in his last 11 at-bats with five strikeouts.Robert Gsellman gave up three runs on five hits with six strikeouts in six innings for the Mets. Lucas Duda hit a three-run homer and Yoenis Cespedes got two hits and made a leaping catch at the wall.Giants 10, Cubs 7Matt Cain gave up four runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings, striking out five, and doubled in two runs off Cubs reliever Mike Montgomery. Cain threw 99 pitches, a spring high on the Giants&#8217; staff.Denard Span led off the game with a home run against Jake Arrieta. San Francisco prospect Chris Marrero hit a three-run homer in the ninth, his seventh, after replacing first baseman Brandon Belt, who struck out three times.Arrieta gave up three runs and five hits while striking out seven over four innings. He also had a hit and scored a run.<style>
