PHILADELPHIA -- Odubel Herrera traded future money for guaranteed dollars.Philadelphia and Herrera agreed to a $30.5 million, five-year contract on Thursday, keeping the NL All-Star center fielder under the Phillies control through 2023. Herrera has been the most consistent player on a rebuilding team the past two seasons.Herrera hit .286 with 15 homers, 87 runs and 25 stolen bases this year. He led the Phillies in batting average (.291), OPS (.773), hits (314), runs (151), doubles (51) and stolen bases (41) in 2015-16.Herrera receives a $1.75 million signing bonus payable by Dec. 31 and $1.25 million next season, the last before he would have been eligible for salary arbitration.He will make $3 million in 2018, $5 million in 2019, $7 million in 2020 and $10 million in 2021 -- when he would have been eligible for free agency. The Phillies have an $11.5 million option for 2022 with a $2.5 million buyout. If that is exercised, the team would have a $12.5 million option for 2023 with a $1 million buyout.Herrera was obtained from Texas when he was left unprotected in the 2014 winter-meeting draft.He played mostly second base and shortstop in the minors before the Phillies moved him to the outfield. Herrera has started 268 games in center field and was a finalist for a Gold Glove this season.Philadelphia has have several outfield prospects, including Roman Quinn, Nick Williams, Dylan Cozens and Aaron Altherr.The move gives Philadelphia stability at an important position, but also makes Herrera an attractive trade chip if other prospects progress.---AP Baseball Writer Ronald Blum contributed to this report. http://www.ramsrookiestore.com/Rams-Jared-Goff-Jersey/ .

LOUIS -- Cardinals cleanup hitter Allen Craig says hes recovered from a foot injury and ready to be put on St. HOUSTON -- Houston rookie Joe Musgrove was having a good night before he was done in by a pair of batters in the fifth inning on Friday night.Kris Bryant hit a two-run homer, Jon Lester threw seven scoreless innings and Hector Rondon and Aroldis Chapman completed the shutout to give the Chicago Cubs a 2-0 win over the Astros.Dexter Fowler snapped an 0-for-19 skid with a leadoff triple and Chicago still had just one hit when he drew a leadoff walk with two outs in the fifth inning. Bryant then smacked his 37th homer to the seats in left field to make it 2-0.Im happy with his effort, and obviously, hell go home thinking about the walk to Fowler before Bryants big home run because that really was the only thing they got off of him, manager A.J. Hinch said of Musgrove.Musgrove (2-4) allowed three hits and two runs with five strikeouts in six innings for his fourth loss in five starts.Ill know what to fix next time and I know what the adjustments are and Ill move on, he said.It was Bryants first career game against the team that passed on him with the first pick in the 2013 draft to take starter Mark Appel, who was traded to Philadelphia this offseason before ever playing in the majors.Lester (16-4) allowed seven hits and struck out seven for his seventh straight win. He hasnt lost since July 3, hasnt allowed a run in three of those starts and gave up just one run in four others in that span.Rondon took over for the eighth and struck out two before Aroldis Chapman struck out one in a perfect ninth for his 13th save.The victory improved the Cubs to an MLB-best 90-50, after they won 97 games last year to give them consecutive 90-win seasons for the first time since doing it in three straight years from 1928-1930.The Astros had trouble stringing hits together against Lester, and didnt have more than one in an inning until the seventh when Yulieski Gurriel singled with one out and Marwin Gonnzalez got another single with two outs.dddddddddddd But Lester struck out Colby Rasmus looking to end the threat.We did have some chances, Hinch said. Lester is a good pitcher, and he has a way of finding himself out of those jams.Alex Bregman singled for Houston with no outs in the fourth inning and stole second base. But he was thrown out trying to swipe third, too, and the Astros lost a scoring opportunity.THAT HAD TO HURTPlay was stopped for a couple of minutes in the bottom of the sixth inning when home plate umpire C.B. Bucknor got hit on hit on his right shoulder with a foul ball from Teoscar Hernandez. Bucknor was shaken up after taking the hit and was checked on by a member of Houstons training staff. But the trainer soon left and he rubbed on his shoulder a couple of times before remaining in the game.TRAINERS ROOMAstros: SS Carlos Correa missed his third straight game on Friday with inflammation in his left shoulder. Correa said that he was feeling better on Friday and manager Hinch said they hoped to get him back sometime this weekend. ... Ace Dallas Keuchel, who is also out with inflammation in his left shoulder, wont throw until after Sunday. Keuchel was shut down on Monday because of the problem and said on Friday that he is feeling better, but is still struggling with the injury. Theres really no timetable set for return, he said. But I firmly believe were still going to be in the playoff hunt so hopefully I can help the guys out here in the next week or so.UP NEXTCubs: John Lackey (9-7, 3.36) is scheduled to make his second start since coming off the disabled list. He is 2-0 with a 1.65 ERA in his last five starts.Astros: Collin McHugh (9-10, 4.96) has won two straight decisions and the Astros have won the last four games that he started.
