Wellemeyer on DL

Did anyone else notice this?  Placed on the 15 day DL after an MRI revealed he has a sprained right elbow. Cavazos recalled from Memphis.

Another "phantom injury"?  

I was looking forward to Welle in the bullpen role too.  Figures... get one guy back, lose another.

Brendan Ryan sent down to make room for Eckstein, who should be in the starting lineup tonight.

Apparently...
...he struck his right throwing elbow on his left knee during the follow through of his delivery.  They say there's no major damage...just a sprain, but they're completely shutting him down for 3 weeks.  At least the timing isn't that bad...Kip will get to start against Philly again.

Cavasos?
I was hoping we were done seeing him for the year. At least he'll most likely be back down when Carp gets back.
On with the youth movement!

Phantom injury: Yes
It allows them to re-evaluate Kip Wells while optioning Cavazos back and forth the minors when Carp comes back.

The abuse of the DL is pretty rampant throughout baseball -- everyone just turns a blind eye.

Kip Wells basically has 2 starts to save his job
one against Philadelphia, against whom he has a 1.33 ERA with a 45:12 K:BB line.

The other is at Miami, against whome he has a 2.36 ERA with a 34:199 K:BB line.

For his career, Kip hasn't been better against any other franchises.
