Ex-Cardinals Watch 7-18-09: Mike Lincoln To Have Surgery; Chad Paronto Called Up; Tomo Ohka Looks To Stay In Rotation

Chad Paronto (Astros):
The club purchased the contract of right-hander Chad Paronto from Triple-A Round Rock. He is expected to be with the team in time for Saturday's game.

Jeff Suppan (Brewers):
Brewers starter Jeff Suppan probably should have carried a four-leaf clover or even a rabbit's foot with him in his start against the Reds on Friday, because luck definitely wasn't on his side in a 4-0 loss.

Dan Haren (Diamondbacks):
After seeing that Dan Haren was not selected to start the All-Star Game, D-backs manager A.J. Hinch decided to bump his ace up in the rotation.

Tomo Ohka (Indians):
The Indians are in need of a starting pitcher for their July 25 game against the Mariners.

If Tomo Ohka wants to be considered for that spot in the rotation, he is going to have to prove he belongs with a strong outing Saturday against Seattle at Progressive Field.

Russell Branyan (Mariners):
Russell Branyan, who had tightness in his back Thursday, felt fine Friday and stayed in the lineup.

Mike Lincoln (Reds):
Reliever Mike Lincoln will be having cervical disc replacement surgery on Monday in St. Louis. Lincoln has been on the 15-day DL since June 17 because of a bulging disc in his neck. A prognosis won't be known until after the operation, which will be performed by orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. K. Riew.
