|
| Dan Ortmeier, LF, San Francisco Giants | Sunday 6/15, 10:12 AM CT |

|
| Mark Mulder, P, St. Louis Cardinals | Sunday 6/15, 9:53 AM CT |
|
| According to the St Louis Post Dispatch, Mark Mulder said he is going to come back as a sidearm reliever. The statement, obviously a half hearted joke out of frustration, formed new developments in Mulder's rehab. Introducing a delivery one tick above sidearm, Mulder started his fourth rehab assignment in the past three seasons with five shutout innings Saturday for Class AA Springfield. "It was night and day compared to what I was doing a month ago," Mulder said. "I feel myself getting closer, compared to where I've been. It's that release point, the way the ball comes out of my hand. Before it just wasn't there. Is it perfect? No. Not yet." |
|
|
|
| According to the St Louis Post Dispatch, starting pitcher Todd Wellemeyer was examined Saturday morning after admitting to elbow and forearm discomfort during and after Friday night's 10-out appearance against the Philadelphia Phillies. Wellemeyer described himself as "gator-arming" the ball in his last two innings as he found it impossible to straighten his elbow. "If it doesn't improve, I'm telling them I can't pitch," he said. "I'm not going out there to be a hero." |
|
|
|
| Cubs manager Lou Piniella said Reed Johnson would likely get the bulk of the at-bats in the leadoff spot while left fielder Alfonso Soriano is on the disabled list with a broken left hand, this according to the Daily Herald. |
|
| John Maine, P, New York Mets | Sunday 6/15, 8:46 AM CT |
|
| When John Maine takes the mound today for the first game of the Sunday double header against the Rangers, Willie Randolph will be the Mets manager, and even if he ends it that way, there is still a strong sense that some sort of shake-up must occur, according to SI.com. |
|
| Odalis Perez, P, Washington Nationals | Sunday 6/15, 8:13 AM CT |
|
| When the Nationals placed Odalis Perez on the 15-day disabled list after Friday night's game, they could have made the move retroactive to June 4 (the day after he last pitched). That would have made him eligible to return later this week. But backdating the roster move would have prevented the club from recalling Tyler Clippard from Triple-A Columbus to make Saturday night's start. The Nationals optioned Clippard to Columbus on Monday -- and major league rules require a demoted player to remain in the minors at least 10 days before returning. Perez is nursing left shoulder soreness. |
|
| Jon Rauch, P, Arizona Diamondbacks | Sunday 6/15, 8:04 AM CT |
|
| Nationals relief pitcher Jon Rauch has filled in admirably for injured Chad Cordero. His new role means a higher profile and a place among the National League leaders in saves. It means that some -- according to the Washington Post -- place him on a short list of choices to represent the team in the All-Star Game. |
|
| Aaron Boone, 1B, Washington Nationals | Sunday 6/15, 8:00 AM CT |
|
| Aaron Boone, who has missed the past three games because of a stiff neck, was able to take batting practice in the cage and on the field on Saturday afternoon and eventually enter the 5-2 Nationals win over the Mariners as a replacement on Saturday night. Ronnie Belliard has been starting at third baseman with Ryan Zimmerman on the disabled list. |
|
| Brad Penny, P, Los Angeles Dodgers | Sunday 6/15, 7:19 AM CT |
|
| According to the Los Angeles Times, Brad knew something was wrong with his right shoulder when warming up for his Saturday start against the Tigers.
Penny confirmed this when he lasted only 3.2 innings in the Dodgers' 12-7 loss to the Detroit Tigers giving up seven runs on seven hits. The right-hander was immediately booked for a return flight to Los Angeles today to be examined by team physician Neal ElAttrache. |
|
| Jesus Flores, C, Washington Nationals | Sunday 6/15, 12:08 AM CT |
|
| Washington needed an offensive surge late in the game to get the 5-2 win over Seattle in interleague action today, and catcher Jesus Flores was there to provide. Flores went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer (his fourth of the year) in the seventh to secure the win. Flores ended with three RBIs and one run scored on the day. |
