Cubs: Broadcaster Bob Brenly took himself out of consideration to become the team’s next manager. “I just didn’t feel at this particular time that this was a good fit for me,” Brenly said. . . . OF Marlon Byrd rested after being hit below the right eye with his own foul tip on Friday. Interim manager Mike Quade said Byrd suffered no serious damage. Mariners: Closer David Aardsma will be sidelined for two or three days because of a mild left oblique strain. Mariners interim manager Daren Brown said Saturday that the right-hander felt some soreness after his last appearance last Sunday. Brandon League will fill in for Aardsma. Red Sox: Boston signed IF Felipe Lopez, four days after he was released by the Cardinals. Manager Terry Francona said Lopez was signed because Marco Scutaro has an inflamed rotator cuff. He said how much Lopez plays will depend on the health of other players. . . . IF Mike Lowell was having tests after getting hit in the jaw by a bad-hop single on Friday. Francona said Lowell is “clear-eyed, no concussion-like symptoms.”
