Ex-Cardinals Watch 6-17-09: Johnny Hernandez, Esteban Yan, Josh Pressley, & Eric Ackerman Named All-Stars; Brandon Johnson Traded; Sidney Ponson Rehab
Sidney Ponson (Royals):
Veteran right-hander Sidney Ponson worked two scoreless innings Wednesday for Class AAA Omaha in a 4-3 victory at New Orleans. The appearance marked the first outing in minor-league rehabilitation assignment in recovering from a strained right elbow.
Ponson pitched the first two innings and allowed one hit, a single, while striking out two and walking none. He threw 28 pitches, including 18 for strikes.
It was his first game action since allowing four runs in one-third of an inning May 29 against the White Sox.
Scott Thorman’s three-run homer in the first inning provided Ponson with an early lead. Thorman has 10 homers and 22 RBIs in 27 games since signing with the Royals as a minor-league free agent.
Kansas City Star
Cesar Izturis (Orioles):
Shortstop Cesar Izturis, on the disabled list after undergoing an emergency appendectomy, had his stitches removed today. He's still expected to join the Orioles in Miami.
"I couldn't tell you when he's going to play," Trembley said, "but he's feeling better."
MASN Sports
J.D. Drew (Red Sox):
With lefty Andrew Miller going for Florida, the Red Sox are giving J.D. Drew the night off Wednesday and giving Rocco Baldelli a chance to play.
Providence Journal
Ken Oberkfell (Mets Triple-A MGR):
The other coach on the IL staff will be Buffalo Bisons manager Ken Oberkfell. He is in his fifth season as the New York Mets Triple-A manager and was named Baseball America Minor League Manager of the Year in 2005 after guiding Norfolk to a 75-69 record and an IL South Division title.
Oberkfell played 16 seasons as an infielder in the Major Leagues with St. Louis, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Houston and California.
MiLB
Jeff Suppan (Brewers):
Hart's ninth-inning home run extended the Brewers' lead to 8-4 and prompted Hoffman to stop warming in the bullpen. Instead, Seth McClung returned to the mound for a third inning in relief of Jeff Suppan, who worked eight innings and surrendered three runs and was in line to win his third straight start.
Brewers Official Site
Dan Haren (Diamondbacks):
Last time out, Dan Haren left nothing to chance.
After watching the bullpen blow large leads in his two previous starts, the D-backs right-hander took matters into his own hands and went the distance to beat the Astros, 8-1, at Chase Field.
Diamondbacks Official Site
Jeff Weaver (Dodgers):
Dodgers pitchers were making news Wednesday, with Jeff Weaver named to start Saturday against his brother, Jered, and the Angels, closer Jonathan Broxton sidelined for a night by a sore right big toe and starter Randy Wolf undergoing medical tests to determine if whooping cough is the source of his persistent cough.
Dodgers Official Site
Jamie Moyer (Phillies):
Moyer allowed three runs in the first inning to hand the Blue Jays a 3-0 lead. Former Phillies catcher Rod Barajas then hit a solo home run to left field in the second to make it 4-0.
Moyer, who threw 46 pitches his first two innings, had been 1-2 with a 3.77 ERA in his previous six starts, but American League teams have not been kind to him since he joined the Phillies in August 2006. He was 2-5 with a 6.16 ERA in seven starts in Interleague Play the past two seasons.
Phillies Official Site
Mike Lincoln (Reds):
Reds reliever Mike Lincoln tried to conceal the pain he experienced in his neck, but could go no further on Wednesday.
Reds Official Site
Johnny Hernandez (Long Island), Esteban Yan (Brideport), Josh Pressley (Somerset), & Eric Ackerman (Lancaster):
The Atlantic League of Professional Baseball Clubs announces its All Star squads for the league's annual All Star Game which will be held on Tuesday, June 23, 2009 at Bears and Eagles Stadium in Newark, New Jersey beginning at 7:35 pm.

Ex-Cardinal Watch 6-10-09: Coco Crisp Misses Another Game; Anthony Reyes To Have Tommy John Surgery; Emil Brown To Minors; Jameson Maj Traded
Coco Crisp (Royals):
Although Royals manager Trey Hillman was hoping to have Coco Crisp back in the lineup for all three games of the Cleveland series, that did not happen.
Royals Official Site
Anthony Reyes (Indians):
Lots of injury updates for you, courtesy of head athletic trainer Lonnie Soloff. The big news is that not only is Anthony Reyes having the ulnar nerve transposition surgery recommended by the Indians, but he might also mix in a little Tommy John, for good measure. Dr. Lewis Yocum will perform the transposition on Friday and, if he discovers the ligament needs to be replaced, he'll perform the Tommy John. If Reyes just has the transposition, he'll miss four to six months. If he has the Tommy John, he'll be a year away from being ready to pitch in the big leagues. Either way, his '09 season is over.
The transposition surgery was originally to take place last Friday, but Reyes didn't immediately consent to the possibility of Tommy John until he had several conversations with Yocum. So that was the holdup.
Castro Turf
Emil Brown (Mets):
In other "news," Emil Brown has cleared waivers and will report to Triple-A Buffalo.
Newsday
Aaron Miles (Cubs):
The Cubs activated Aaron Miles from the disabled list and optioned infielder/outfielder Jake Fox to Triple-A Iowa.
Down On The Farm
Daric Barton (Athletics):
Fresh on the heels of being called up from Triple-A Sacramento for the first time this season, Daric Barton was all smiles in the same uniform he wore 140 times with the big boys in Oakland last year.
Athletics Official Site
David Eckstein (Padres):
But Black won't be the only former Angel making his return to the stadium. Second baseman David Eckstein played with the club for four seasons, including the 2002 season when the Angels won their first and only World Series title.
Padres Official Site
Nate Cotton (Kansas City):
The Kansas City T-Bones and manager Andy McCauley have announced the signing of pitcher Nate Cotton to a contract for the 2009 season.
WIBW
Matt Weagle (Worcester):
The Worcester Tornadoes of the Can-Am League placed him on the disabled list.
Jamerson Maj (San Angelo):
The Southern Illinois Miners of the Frontier League traded him to the San Angelo Colts of the United Baseball League.
Cardoza Tucker (Orange County):
The Orange County Flyers of the Golden Baseball League placed him on the inactive list.
Brandon Johnson (Somerset):
“Not playing” last season and “not playing” this season have two very different meanings to Brandon Johnson.

The Four-Time Atlantic League Champion Somerset Patriots have announced the signings of infielders Brant Colamarino and Brandon Johnson.
Atlantic League Official Site
Brandon Johnson was in the St. Louis Cardinals minor league camp last spring, of course he was cut. He was also selected by the Laredo Broncos in the 2008 United Baseball League draft, but nothing ever came of that.
