Ex-Cardinals Watch 6-5-08: Nunez Called Up, Crisp Fights, Troy Percival Making Progress

Abraham Nunez(Mets):
The Mets purchased the contract of veteran infielder Abraham Nuñez from their Triple-A New Orleans affiliate on Thursday and optioned infielder-outfielder Nick Evans back to their Binghamton affiliate in the Double-A Eastern League.

Troy Percival(Rays):
Maddon said closer Troy Percival's rehab of a left hamstring strain is going well. The 38-year-old veteran's 26-pitch bullpen session Wednesday was fine, and he's scheduled to throw another today in Texas. Maddon said there's a good chance Percival is on track to be activated from the disabled list June 13, when he's scheduled to come off. A rehab stint in the minors doesn't appear necessary.

Coco Crisp(RedSox):
The Red Sox and the Rays, the first- and second-place teams in the American League East, respectively, won't see each other again until June 30. That might be a good thing, as the teams seem to need a cooling-off period.
