Jose Salazar (Shreveport-Bossier):
Hit by a slew of injuries to its pitching staff recently, the Shreveport-Bossier Captains made a series of roster moves this week, including signing rookie righthanded pitcher Jimmy Heard, who played at Airline High School in Bossier City and Northwestern State University in Natchitoches. He is joined by fellow rookie Josh Collazo, an infielder out of Oklahoma Baptist University (NAIA) and third-year shortstop Jose Salazar, who last played in the triple-A level Mexican League.

Adam Kennedy (Athletics):
Ellis' comeback pushes Adam Kennedy off second base. Kennedy, who is batting a team-best .294, has been taking grounders at third base during batting practice. He was breaking in a new first baseman's mitt Friday afternoon.
Kennedy said he doesn't have a preference for which position he plays. He added that he's least familiar with third base, as he hasn't played a Major League game at the position.

Tomo Ohka (Indians):
Not this time. Ohka got hammered in a four-run second inning that set the tone for the night.
"Tomo battled," manager Eric Wedge said. "He just didn't have the same command we've seen in prior outings."

The gloves David Eckstein wears while hitting may smell bad and look funny, but he doesn't plan on changing them any time.
