Odds & Ends

Injuries:

• The Red Sox placed Clay Buchholz on the DL with a broken nail.  They called up OF Jonathan Van Every [MiLB Value $14.88] from AAA Pawtucket to take his spot.  Van Every was in the Cleveland system until last year, and profiles as a low-impact Quad-A type player.
• The Pirates placed Ryan Doumit on the DL after breaking his thumb on a passed ball, and will be out at least a month.  It's a shame - Doumit was looking like a top catcher thus far.  Ronny Paulino will get the majority of the PT behind the plate.
• The Reds officially placed Jeff Keppinger on the DL with a broken kneecap, and called up IF Paul Janish [MiLB Value $12.33] from AAA.  Dusty Baker plans to shockingly [insert sarcasm here] go with the veteran Jerry Hairston Jr. at SS.
• Jim Hoey will be out for the season following shoulder surgery.

Transactions:

• The Rangers activated OF Marlon Byrd from the DL, sending down 3B Travis Metcalf to make room.
• The Cubs have signed OF Jim Edmonds.  Felix Pie will be sent down to AAA to make room.
