--RHP Zack Greinke, who pitched 14 scoreless innings in victories over the Rangers and Indians, was named the American League co-player of the week with Texas 2B Ian Kinsler. 

With 3B Alex Gordon out for 10 to 12 weeks after having hip surgery, Mark Teahen will get the majority of the playing time at third base. 

Brian Bannister could be moving from the Class AAA Omaha rotation to the Kansas City rotation before the end of the week, possibly as early as Wednesday.
