Player Notes

May 16, 2008
Updating a previous report, Rafael Betancourt has indeed been removed from the closers role in Cleveland and the spot will now be filled by four pitchers, according to the Associated Press. I look at it like we have four guys I feel comfortable using in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings, depending on the matchup and availability, manager Eric Wedge said. Thats how Im goring to play it out. Im not going to say somebody is or somebody isnt (a closer). I feel we can be comfortable using all four of those guys.

May 16, 2008
Rafael Betancourt, who has struggled for most of the past two weeks, may have lost his hold on the closing job in Cleveland to Masa Kobayashi, according to MLB.com. "I've got to reflect upon everything and go from there," manager Eric Wedge said when asked about the fate of Bentancourt. "I haven't had time to think about it just yet."

May 15, 2008
Rafael Betancourt just isn't getting it done right now, he has allowed runs in five of his last seven appearances after allowing another run on Thursday.

May 12, 2008
Matt Stairs singled to open the Toronto 10th and took second on an infield single by Lyle Overbay on a ball that glanced off Rafael Betancourt's left elbow and ricocheted into foul ground. Betancourt was examined by trainers and stayed in the game to face Gregg Zahn, who bunted over both runners. Pinch-hitter Brad Wilkerson was intentionally walked to load the bases for Stewart, whose flyball to center easily scored Stairs. Hill's single to center made it 3-0.

May 7, 2008
Rafael Betancourt (5.93 ERA) got three quick outs in the ninth inning of Tuesday's 5-3 victory over the New York Yankees for his third save of the season.
