NEW YORK -- The names are mostly known and so are the possible penalties -- 50 games for most, perhaps a lifetime ban for one. On Wednesday, the number of players likely to be disciplined in baseballs latest drug scandal stood at 14. Detroit went out and got itself a new shortstop. Other teams were waiting it out, including the New York Yankees, whose injured star Alex Rodriguez was the biggest name in the investigation of a now-closed Florida clinic. It now appears the probe wont be wrapped up until at least the weekend. At first, Major League Baseball and the union thought talks on the Biogenesis probe could be completed by Friday, but negotiations to avoid grievances are likely to push back announcements until at least Saturday or Sunday, according to a person familiar with the talks. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because no public comments were authorized. Both sides felt urgency to complete the process: By the middle of next week, teams will have fewer than 50 games left, which would force players to complete suspensions during the playoffs or at the start of next season. Front and centre in the scandal is Rodriguez, baseballs highest-paid player, the most prominent player linked in media reports over the past seven months to Biogenesis of America, a closed Florida anti-aging clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs. Others accused in the media reports include a trio of 2013 All-Stars: Texas outfielder Nelson Cruz, San Diego shortstop Everth Cabrera and Detroit shortstop Jhonny Peralta. While most of the players face 50-game bans as first offenders, Rodriguez is on track for a lengthier penalty. He could be kicked out of baseball unless he reaches an agreement. The Yankees expect him to be accused of recruiting other athletes for the clinic, attempting to obstruct MLBs investigation, and not being truthful with MLB in the past. Detroit general manager Dave Dombrowski protected against a possible suspension of Peralta by acquiring slick-fielding infielder Jose Iglesias from Boston in a three-team trade Tuesday night. "If it were a 15-day thing, like a typical injury, I think we could have comfortably dealt with it with the players we already have," Dombrowski said Wednesday. "But when you start to talk about 50 days and a possible playoff run, we feel better going ahead with Jose." While MLB told the union which players it intends to suspend, it hasnt issued formal notices of discipline. Because of that, the countdown hasnt started under baseballs Joint Drug Agreement, which says the suspensions are effective on the third business day after the notice is issued. The sides also had not yet decided whether suspensions for first-time offenders who challenge the penalty can be announced before an arbitration decision. If some stars knew their seasons were about to be cut short, they werent letting on Wednesday, at least publicly. "I cant talk about nothing right now. Just wait for the news," Cabrera said Wednesday before playing against Cincinnati. Peralta thinks he shouldnt be on the list of players linked to Biogenesis. "Its wrong," he said. "But whatever happens, I need to fight and try to move on." Rodriguez, a three-time MVP and baseballs highest-paid player, is the biggest star ensnared in the probe. He admitted four years ago that he used performance-enhancing substances while with Texas from 2001-03 but repeatedly has denied using them since. Hes been sidelined all season since hip surgery in January and then a quadriceps strain during a minor league rehab assignment in July. The Yankees say hell start another rehab assignment Friday -- Double-A Trenton appeared to be the likely destination. "Hopefully Alex will be back shortly thereafter," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. Rodriguez didnt stop to talk with reporters after his rehab session Wednesday at the teams minor league complex in Tampa, Fla. Toronto outfielder Melky Cabrera, Oakland pitcher Bartolo Colon and San Diego catcher Yasmani Grandal were all suspended for 50 games last year for positive tests for elevated testosterone. MLB informed the union they wont receive additional discipline for that violation, two people familiar with the probe said. They also spoke on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized. "Nothings been told to me," Melky Cabrera said. "I served my suspension last year, but MLB has never told me that its OK now. Im seeing it in the press, but I dont know." Texas was unable to find a replacement bat to fill a void a suspension of Cruz would create. "I dont think anybodys comfortable losing a significant part of your club, but its out of our control," Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said. "We explored some deal like that. They just didnt come to a head. It wasnt for lack of interest or lack of effort. It was more lack of supply and lack of fit, really." Sebastien Cibois Paris Saint-Germain Jersey .

In his last three starts, the Atlanta Braves right-hander is 0-2 with a 1.66 ERA. In his last seven starts Hudson is 0-5, the second longest losing streak in his career. Hudson (4-6) pitched well again Tuesday night, going 7 1-3 innings and allowing three runs on five hits, but was outdueled by Andrew Cashner and lost to the Padres, 3-2, for the first time after going 6-0 in 13 previous appearances and 12 starts against San Diego. "I felt good," said Hudson, who struck out seven and walked one. "It was probably one of my top two or three games, stuff wise. I made a couple of bad pitches and somehow gave up three runs. They took advantage of them." Cashner (5-3) pitched a career high eight innings, allowing two runs on six hits, striking out five and walking one. It marked the seventh straight time that he has pitched six-plus innings. At one point Cashner retired 10 straight batters after giving up one run and three hits in the first inning. Luke Gregerson came on in the ninth and got the final out, striking out Dan Uggla for his third save in five opportunities. The Padres have won five of seven, while the Braves have lost four of six. Hudson said he made a good pitch to Nick Hundley in the second, but the Padres catcher muscled a bloop double down the left field line that scored Kyle Blanks, who had walked, to give the Padres a 2-1 lead. One pitch he would like back was a hanging splitter that Chase Headley hit for a home run in the bottom of the first tying the game at 1-1. The Braves had taken a 1-0 lead on Andrelton Simmons leadoff single, a wild pitch and Freddie Freemans RBI single. Carlos Quentin produced the third Paadres run in the third with an RBI single to left that scored Everth Cabrera, who had doubled to right leading off the inning.dddddddddddd The Braves closed within a run in the sixth when Jason Heyward and Justin Upton hit back-to-back singles to open the inning. Freeman then hit into a double play with Heyward scoring. "Cashner throws 95, 96 and has a changeup that he can throw whenever he wants," Freeman said. "We got him there on the ropes in the sixth, but I grounded into double play and killed a rally. You have to take advantage of that and I didnt do it."
