Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Boston Red Sox and reliever Franklin Morales agreed to terms on a one-year contract Monday. Acquired in a trade with the Rockies last May, he played in a career-high 50 games in 2011 between the two clubs and went 1-2 with a 3.69 earned run average.

 

Howell, 28, returned to play last season after missing 2010 due to shoulder surgery in May of that year.

 

Over 46 games, he went 2-3 with a 6.16 earned run average. In 212 career games, including 33 starts, Howell has gone 20-23 with 21 saves and a 4.62 earned-run average.

 

Padilla suffered through neck problems last season that eventually required surgery, limiting the 34-year-old to just nine appearances out of the bullpen for the Los Angeles Dodgers.

 

Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cincinnati Reds and outfielder Ryan Ludwick have agreed to terms on a one-year contract, according to a report. MLB.com reported Monday night that the deal, which is pending a physical, includes a mutual option for 2013.

 

Ludwick, 33, would join his sixth team. The nine-year veteran played his final 38 games for the NL Central-rival Pirates last season after being traded to Pittsburgh from San Diego in July.

 

The Reds also signed catcher Dioner Navarro to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. Navarro, 27, played in 64 games for the Dodgers last season and batted .193 with a .276 on-base percentage.

 

Over 267 career games with the Braves and Royals, Pena has hit .251 with 12 homers and 73 RBI.

 

Getz, 28, batted .255 with 26 RBI and 21 stolen bases over 118 games with the Royals last season.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.

Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.

El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.

MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds. 

Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.

New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.

Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
