Boston won’t be a buyer in trades

Red Sox president: Team may hold firm with current roster.

Boston president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said Saturday the AL East-leading Red Sox are not seeking pitching rotation help and may stand pat as the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline looms.

A starting staff that includes Chris Sale, Drew Pomeranz and 2016 AL Cy Young Award winner Rick Porcello has been bolstered by David Price (4-2 in eight starts since coming back from an arm injury). Doug Fister was claimed off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels June 23, while Eduardo Rodriguez (right knee) is scheduled to return July 17. “You can always get deeper, but I don’t know how much deeper you can get at this particular time,” Dombrowski said.

Indians: Manager Terry Francona is resting at home following a heart procedure and four-day hospital stay. He was released from the hospital Friday, a day after undergoing a cardiac ablation for an irregular heartbeat.

Giants: Madison Bumgarner (0-3, 3.00 ERA) threw a bullpen session Friday and is scheduled to pitch for Single-A San Jose on Monday. Manager Bruce Bochy said it’s possible the left-hander will rejoin the big league club shortly after the All-Star break. Bumgarner separated his left shoulder in a dirt bike accident April 20.

Pirates: Left-handed reliever Antonio Bastardo was designated for assignment. Pittsburgh has 10 days to trade or release Bastardo or, if he clears waivers, it can send him outright to the minors. But he has enough service time to reject such an assignment and collect the remainder of his $6.5 million salary. Bastardo made nine appearances this season and kept the opponent off the scoreboard in just one, allowing 15 runs and posting a 15.00 ERA.

Diamondbacks: Friday, as Phoenix set a record for July 7 at 118 degrees, it was 113 outside Chase Field and 85 inside the closed stadium at the 6:40 p.m. start of a 6-3 victory over Cincinnati.

Mets: Outfielder Brandon Nimmo went on the disabled list with a partially collapsed lung. Nimmo said he first experienced symptoms July 4 but when it lasted for a few more days, he was taken to the hospital. “Really not sure how it happened,’ ” he said. Nimmo is hitting .350 in limited playing time, excelling as a pinch hitter.

Twins: Newly acquired right-hander Bartolo Colon, 44, could be promoted from Triple-A Rochester as soon as July 18 against the New York Yankees.
