Some MLB news today: Boston Red Sox first baseman Mike Napoli will come off the disabled list Sunday. Napoli has been out since May 15th with a swollen left ring finger. He had also been dealing with a sore left hamstring and left calf. Veteran Kendrys Morales has reached an agreement on a 1 year deal with the Minnesota Twins. The deal is less than but very close to the $10 million deal that Stephen Drew signed with the Red Sox in May. Morales hit .277 with 23 home runs and 80 RBIs with the Seattle Mariners last season. Morales was the last remaining free agent who had not signed with a team.
