Worth noting

• Lefty Craig Breslow, who has made five Minor League rehab appearances, could be activated for Monday's game against the Twins. However, no decision has been made yet, according to Farrell.

• Felix Doubront, who struggled mightily in his last start and lacked velocity, had his side day on Sunday and long-toss was emphasized.

"His normal in-between starts routine," Farrell said. "There's been a little bit more emphasis on the long toss, in terms of its intensity. I can't say that we're going to ramp up the volume all that much more than what it's been."
