Terry Evans (Angels):
Terry Evans and Freddy Sandoval have Major League experience and could be summoned from Salt Lake.

Clayton Mortensen (Athletics):
The A's plan on only calling up pitchers already on the 40-man roster, meaning Chad Reineke, Clayton Mortensen, and Jerry Blevins are candidates.
Athletics Official Site
Jeff Suppan (Brewers):
Jeff Suppan pitched six quality innings and took a bases-loaded walk for the go-ahead run in the Brewers' 4-1 win on Sunday at Miller Park, finishing a three-game sweep and extending a home winning streak the likes of which haven't been seen in more than a half-century.
Brewers Official Site
Dan Haren (Diamondbacks):
Haren (13-8) struck out seven, walked two and was charged with three runs after being chased by singles by pinch-hitter Jason Michaels and Bourn to start the eighth -- after he'd apparently left his best stuff on the bases the previous inning.
Diamondbacks Official Site
Ronnie Belliard (Dodgers):
The Dodgers acquired infielder Ronnie Belliard from the Nationals after Sunday's 3-2 win over the Reds. In return, the Dodgers gave up Minor League pitcher Luis Garcia and a Minor Leaguer to be named later.
Dodgers Official Site
The last time Ronnie Belliard was traded in the middle of the season, he won a World Series with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2006. The Dodgers can only hope for the same results.
Nationals Official Site
Edgar Renteria (Giants):
Edgar Renteria's dramatic seventh-inning grand slam erased a three-run deficit, propelled San Francisco to a 9-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies and left the teams tied atop the National League Wild Card standings.
Giants Official Site
It’s one thing to win, it’s another to win when some of your perceived shortcomings suddenly become reasons to get more excited. Barry Zito’s performance Saturday night was one, and that was followed up by Edgar Renteria’s biggest day as a Giant Sunday. Throughout the first half, they were dogged by Giants fans as underachievers who weren’t worth the money, but suddenly, they must feel awfully glad they’re here.

Jim Riggleman (Nationals MGR):
The Nationals' nine-game, three-city road trip that continues Monday night in San Diego has been a special one for interim manager Jim Riggleman.
Nationals Official Site
Chris Lambert, Cesar Iztruis, & Alberto Castillo (Orioles):
The Orioles will balance need against a reward for a job well done when Major League rosters are expanded beyond the normal 25-man limit on Tuesday. Manager Dave Trembley is being mum about exactly what players will join the team, but he's emphatic about who's not being summoned from the Minor Leagues.
Orioles Official Site
Edgar Gonzalez (Padres):
"Roster expansion is coming in a few days and [executive vice president/general manager] Kevin [Towers] and [vice president] Fred [Uhlman Jr.] have talked about that and they have a plan for it," Black said. "Edgar [Gonzalez] will be back, I'm sure. He's doing OK and he's feeling fine. There are no after effects anymore [from a concussion suffered on July 19].
Padres Official Site
Michel Hernandez & Joe Nelson (Rays):
September callups are just around the corner, and like every team in baseball, the Rays are mulling over who will join the team once rosters are expanded to 40 on Tuesday.
Rays Official Site
Walt Jocketty (Reds GM):
Tuesday means September callups can start arriving, but don't expect an army of fresh promotions from Louisville. No one will soon be rolling up Interstate 71 from Louisville to the tune of "The Ride of the Valkyries," by Richard Wagner.
Reds Official Site
Randy Flores (Rockies):
Almost certainly, one callup will be left-handed reliever Randy Flores, who was sent down after an up-and-down stint with the Rockies earlier this season. Flores, who underwent shoulder surgery after last season with the Cardinals, has looked fully healthy throughout August.
Rockies Official Site
Placido Polanco (Tigers):
The flags atop the left-field scoreboard sure didn't seem to be flying in Placido Polanco's favor Sunday. Nor did Brandon Inge's aching left knee seem to be good for a leaping grab. But then, everything seems to be going in the Tigers' direction these days.
Tigers Official Site
Chris Gissell (Athletics):
Athletics signed and assigned him to Triple-A Sacramento.
Jim Riggleman (Nationals MGR) & Cecil Cooper (Astros MGR):
The Reds need a strong finish to end talk about Dusty Baker walking the managerial plank. Other managers in limbo are the Indians' Eric Wedge, Nationals' Jim Riggleman, Astros' Cecil Cooper and Orioles' Dave Trembley.
