Troy Glaus (3B - STL)
5/10/08	Cardinals 3B Troy Glaus struck out and left after the Cardinals batted in the third with a bruised left tricep. He was hit by a pitch the inning before. La Russa said afterward Glaus couldn’t straighten his arm and would be re-evaluated Saturday

Jason Isringhausen (P - STL)
5/10/08	Isringhausen, who has a major-league high five blown save chances to go along with his NL-best 11 saves, said it’s time for him to sit down with Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak, manager Tony La Russa and pitching coach Dave Duncan and figure out what to do. “I’m just getting sick of embarrassing myself and letting my team down,” Isringhausen said. “We should be five more wins in the win column in my mind, so we should be ahead in first place even more. But they can’t keep sending me out there when I’m pitching the way I’m pitching. “We’re going to have to figure out some kind of remedy. I’m sure that remedy will give me some time off and get somebody in there that can do a better job right now. … I’m just pitching like a second grader.” It was Isringhausen’s fourth blown save in seven outings.

Brad Lidge (P - PHI)
5/10/08	Brad Lidge was called on to close out the game on Friday earning his 9th save. Lidge faced 4 batters, allowed 1 hit and struck out 3 to finish the game. Lidge has yet to allow an earned run this year and has 18 K's in 17 innings.

Tom Gordon (P - PHI)
5/10/08	Tom Gordon is putting together a very solid season after getting off to a terrible start. Gordon came on in relief in the 8th, allowed a couple walks, no runs and earned his 7th Hold on the year. Gordon has also lowered his ERA to 4.11 and is becoming a great set-up guy for closer Brad Lidge.

Cole Hamels (P - PHI)
5/10/08	Cole Hamels did not pitch well but it was enough to earn the victory. Hamels, like the other Philly starters, is throwing too many good pitches to hitters when ahead in the count. Hamels allowed 4 ER on 6 hits over 7 innings, struck out 7 and even had a hit at the plate. Hamels, 4-3, looks for win #5 at home next Thursay versus Atlanta.



Carlos Ruiz (C - PHI)
5/10/08	Carlos Ruiz has started to find his hitting stroke and has helped the Phillies of late. Ruiz was 1-4 Friday night with 2 rbi's and now has 7 hits in his last 19 at-bats to raise his average to .236 with 12 rbi's on the season.

Pedro Feliz (3B - PHI)
5/10/08	Pedro Feliz returned to his old stomping grounds and helped defeat his former team. Feliz was 2-5 on the night with a single, double and rbi. Feliz now has 16 rbi's and is batting .244 on the season.

Jimmy Rollins (SS - PHI)
5/10/08	Jimmy Rollins was activated from the DL before the Phillies game Friday night. Rollins immediately picked up where he left off going 3-5 with a HR, 3 rbi's and a run scored and missed hitting for the cycle by a triple. Rollins has 3 HR's, 9 rbi's and is batting .341 on the season...Welcome Back.

Ramon Castro (C - NYM)
5/10/08	Mets activated Castro from the 15-day disabled list.

Raul Casanova (C - NYM)
5/10/08	Mets designated Casanova for assignment.

Esteban Loaiza (P - LAD)
5/10/08	Esteban Loaiza was placed on the 15 day DL due to tightness and spasming in his shoulder.

Adam Everett (SS - MIN)
5/10/08	Everett went 2-for-3 with two doubles and a walk last night. He has nine hits this season, four of which are doubles.

Nick Punto (3B/2B/SS - MIN)
5/10/08	Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said it can be a couple days before Punto can return to game action because of hamstring cramping. He is batting .265.

Mike Lamb (3B/1B - MIN)
5/10/08	Lamb lifted the Minnesota Twins past the Boston Red Sox, 7-6, last night with a two-run single in the ninth inning against Sox stud closer, Jonathon Papelbon. Lamb, filling in for the injured Brendan Harris, went 1-for-2 and is batting .213.

Brendan Harris (SS/2B - MIN)
5/10/08	Harris left Friday’s game against the Boston Red Sox in the sixth inning with a tight right hamstring. He had gone 2-for-3 with a run scored and two RBI before leaving. Twins’ manager Ron Gardenhire said that he might be able to play in an emergency on Saturday.

Pat Neshek (P - MIN)
5/10/08	The Minnesota Twins placed Neshek on the 15-day disabled list Friday, after an MRI test revealed an acute partial tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow. He cannot throw for a minimum of three months, meaning that the injury has effectively ended his season. He will not need surgery.

Victor Martinez (C/1B - CLE)
5/10/08	Martinez resumed his catching duties last night for the first time since Sunday. He had been suffering from a stiff neck. He went 1-for-2, and the opposing Blue Jays stole one base on him.

Ben Francisco (OF - CLE)
5/10/08	Francisco hit a pinch-hit double with the bases loaded in the seventh inning to drive in two runs, and the Indians opened up their 2-1 lead over the Blue Jays. They won, 6-1.

Jake Westbrook (P - CLE)
5/10/08	Westbrook had his first (35-pitch) bullpen session since landing on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left intercostal muscle on April 22. He said afterwards, "I felt great. It's just a matter of getting my arm in shape." He will have another bullpen session, around 50 pitches, today or tomorrow. He did not speculate on when he will return. He had gone 1-2 with a 2.73 ERA in four starts before going on the DL.

C.C. Sabathia (P - CLE)
5/10/08	Sabathia (2-5) pitched one-run ball and struck out nine Blue Jays over seven innings. He gave up six hits, walked two, and won for the first time in five decisions at home this season. The Indians won, 6-1.

Casey Blake (3B - CLE)
5/10/08	Blake hit a go-ahead, two-run double in the seventh inning to help beat the Blue Jays, 6-1, last night. He went 2-for-4 with two RBI, and is batting .429 (15-for-35) with 23 RBI with runners in scoring position.

Keith Foulke (P - OAK)
5/9/08	Foulke was activated from the DL.

Gustavo Chacin (P - TOR)
5/9/08	Chacin was designated for assignment.

Sergio Santos (IF - TOR)
5/9/08	Santos was designated for assignment.

Joe Inglett (3B - TOR)
5/9/08	Inglett was optioned back to AAA.

Brad Wilkerson (1B/OF - TOR)
5/9/08	Wilkerson was signed by Toronto. He is in the starting lineup in left field for Friday's game.

Kevin Mench (OF - TOR)
5/9/08	Mench was traded to Toronto for cash. He was hitting .282 with three home runs and 18 RBI in 29 games at AAA.

Sean Henn (P - SD)
5/9/08	Padres claimed Henn off waivers from the Yankees.

Prince Fielder (1B - MIL)
5/9/08	Fielder was 1-for-8 in Games 1 and 2 of the three-game series against the Marlins and was hitting .258 in the first eight games on the road trip with no home runs and two RBIs.

Carlos Villanueva (P - MIL)
5/9/08	Carlos Villanueva (1-4) allowed seven runs in five innings against the Marlins Thursday to remain winless since his first start of the season April 4. His ERA rose to 6.46.

Derrick Turnbow (P - MIL)
5/9/08	Brewers outrighted Derrick Turnbow to Triple-A Nashville. Turnbow cleared waivers and as expected agreed to accept his demotion to Triple-A rather than give up his $3.2 million salary to become a free agent.

Buddy Carlyle (P - ATL)
5/9/08	Carlyle left Thursday's game with a neck injury. He got kneed in the head by Kevin Kouzmanoff in a collision.

Jo-Jo Reyes (P - ATL)
5/9/08	Reyes left Thursday's game with a blister on his left index finger.

Angel Pagan (OF - NYM)
5/9/08	Pagan is day-to-day with a bruised shoulder.

Peter Moylan (P - ATL)
5/9/08	Moylan will miss the rest of the season after having Tommy John surgery Thursday.

Doug Davis (P - AZ)
5/9/08	A CT scan determined that Davis' cancer did not spread from his thyroid. He has now cleared to begin his rehab assignment. He hopes to rejoin the Diamondbacks' rotation around May 20.

Orlando Hudson (2B - AZ)
5/9/08	Hudson could start on Saturday against the Cubs. It now seems that he'll avoid a trip to the disabled list.

Conor Jackson (1B - AZ)
5/9/08	Jackson is expected to be in the Diamondbacks lineup on Friday. He left Wednesday night's game after a collision with Shane Victorino.

Alex Rodriguez (3B - NYY)
5/9/08	Rodriguez isn't expected to get a second MRI exam on his strained right quad until Tuesday. He's been fielding grounders, taking batting practice and running sprints without any issues. He still hopes to be activated late next week.

Sean Casey (1B - BOS)
5/9/08	Casey is eligible to come off the DL on Sunday and will most likely be activated then.

Paul Lo Duca (C - WSH)
5/9/08	Nationals placed Lo Duca on the 15-day disabled list with a fracture of the fourth metacarpal in his right hand.

Johnny Estrada (C - WSH)
5/9/08	Nationals placed Estrada on the 15-day disabled list with ulnar neuritis in his right elbow.

Jesus Flores (C - WSH)
5/9/08	Nationals recalled Flores from Triple-A. He's a decent pickup in NL-only leagues.

Elijah Dukes (OF - WSH)
5/9/08	Nationals activated Dukes from the disabled list.

Jeff Farnsworth (P - PHI)
5/9/08	MLB reduced Farnsworth's suspension from three games to one game. He will most likely sit out tonight.

John Smoltz (P - ATL)
5/9/08	Smoltz could begin playing catch this weekend and hopes to return by the end of May. He will most likely return as the Braves closer.

Jose Guillen (OF - KC)
5/9/08	Guillen was held out of the lineup Thursday night due to a sore right shoulder suffered during an at-bat on Wednesday. He is listed as day-to-day, will probably be available to pinch-hit Friday and hopefully return to the lineup Saturday. Owners in daily leagues should bench him until he is able to return to field.

Brett Myers (P - PHI)
5/9/08	Brett Myers had another poor outing and when facing Brandon Webb...that is not good. Myers lasted only 5 innings and allowed 6 ER on 9 hits to take the loss. Myers continues to try and throw his fastball past hitters when ahead in the count and it's not working. Myers, 2-3, will look to even his record at home next week versus Atlanta.

Eric Bruntlett (SS - PHI)
5/9/08	Eric Bruntlett has filled in admirably for SS Jimmy Rollins and provided decent offense too. Bruntlett was 2-3 on Thursday with an rbi, run scored and his 3rd stolen base. Bruntlett is batting .250 on the season with 12 rbi's but will probably be back on the bench this weekend with the return of SS Jimmy Rollins from the DL.

Shane Victorino (OF - PHI)
5/9/08	Shane Victorino continues to supply speed and spark atop the Phillies lineup. Victorino went 2-4 on Thursday with 2 runs scored and his 4th stolen base. Victorino is now batting .256 and will probably move back into the 2-hole when SS Jimmy Rollins returns this weekend.

Casey Blake (3B - CLE)
5/9/08	Blake is hitting .424 with runners in scoring position - but only .210 overall - so far this season.

Joe Mauer (C - MIN)
5/9/08	Mauer went 2-for-3 against the White Sox yesterday, and raised his batting average to .346. He is hitting .419 (26-for-62) over his past 17 games.

Travis Buck (OF - OAK)
5/9/08	Buck has struggled at AAA during his rehab assignment, batting just .125. He is unlikely to rejoin the A's this weekend.

Luis Mendoza (P - TEX)
5/9/08	Mendoza threw 45 pitches on Wednesday and reported no soreness. He is scheduled to throw two innings in a simulated game Saturday and then would make two to three rehab start before returning to the Rangers.

Travis Metcalf (3B - TEX)
5/9/08	Metcalf was activated from the DL. He was playing in extended spring training and had yet to begin a rehab assignment. He remains probably a month away from being 100% but the team needed a reserve infielder with Michael Young suffering a hip injury. Metcalf would likely only play in an emergency.

A.J. Murray (P - TEX)
5/9/08	Murray was optioned to AAA with the return of Kason Gabbard.

Ben Broussard (1B/OF - TEX)
5/9/08	Broussard was designated for assignment.

Dallas Braden (P - OAK)
5/9/08	Braden was optioned to AAA.

Daniel Cabrera (P - BAL)
5/9/08	Cabrera may have finally turned the proverbial corner. The enigmatic starter has been the most consistent Baltimore pitcher this season. He is 3-1 with a 3.54 ERA in nine starts this season, and his last six starts have all been quality starts.

Freddie Bynum (OF - BAL)
5/9/08	Manager Dave Tremblay has named Bynum his starting shortstop for the near future. He responded by going 2-4 with a run scored in his first action of the season. Bynum could be useful in AL-only leagues.

Kason Gabbard (P - TEX)
5/9/08	Gabbard was activated from the DL Thursday and started against Seattle. However, he left the game in the fourth inning after developing soreness from a bench-clearing brawl. The soreness was in his legs and not his back, which previously landed him on the DL. The move was precautionary and Gabbard is currently scheduled to start again next Tuesday.
