Worth noting

• Third baseman Josh Donaldson received his first day off of the season Tuesday, having started each of the club's first 39 games, including four at designated hitter.

Coco Crisp (neck strain) took batting practice and did some work in the field on Tuesday afternoon but was unavailable for a sixth straight game. It's likely he'll be rested through Thursday's off-day.

• Stationed on the disabled list with a forearm strain, righty Ryan Cook "feels really good," according to Melvin.

The reliever hasn't begun throwing yet, but "as far as his exercises go, it's been real encouraging," said Melvin. "When you hear forearm, you can't help but think Tommy John, but we certainly don't expect that to be the case, and I know he's kind of champing at the bit to get going."
