Ex-Cardinals 8-14-08: Belliard Claimed, Faulkenborg Activated, Percival & Young Done For Year

Ronnie Belliard(Nationals):

Dmitri Young(Nationals):
Dmitri Young's return this season is looking increasingly unlikely. The Nationals first baseman, on the disabled list since July 19, is still in Washington trying to control his diabetes, Manager Manny Acta said. Even if Young makes a quick turnaround, it won't come before the end of the minor league season, making a rehab assignment impossible.
