The Cincinnati Reds placed veteran setup man Pierce Johnson on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation, retroactive to May 27, after his steady 3.27 ERA in 24 appearances.

Chelsea are in advanced talks for 26-year-old center-back Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace, under new manager Xabi Alonso, as they rebuild after a dismal 10th-place finish last season.
