Jess Todd (Indians):
Another skipper labeled Bard as a bonafide major league closer. And still another marveled at his first look at Columbus righthander Jess Todd, who joined the Indians, and thus the IL, recently after being traded from the Cardinals.
"(Todd) was throwing arms and elbows at you. Sitting 92-93 (mph) and snapping off a nasty slider."

Terry Evans (Angels):
Bidding farewell was outfielder Terry Evans, who was serving as outfield support for two days. Evans rejoins his old buddies at Triple-A Salt Lake, where he was batting .290 with 19 homers and 66 RBIs. Evans did not get into a game with the Angels.

Brett Wallace, Shane Peterson, & Clayton Mortensen (Athletics):
Less than two weeks ago, Brett Wallace got a taste of what it would be like to represent the St. Louis Cardinals in Busch Stadium when he started at third base in the XM Radio All-Star Futures Game. Little did he know that would be as close as he'd come to playing in front of Cardinals Nation full-time.
Athletics Official Site
The A's had their first shot at Brett Wallace about a year ago. They took a pass, though, electing to take Jemile Weeks with the No. 12 pick in the 2008 First-Year Player Draft instead.

Felipe Lopez (Brewers):
Felipe Lopez was eager to make a proper home debut for the Brewers. His achy right hamstring did not cooperate.

If all goes according to plan, the Padres will activate second baseman David Eckstein from the 15-day disabled list in the next few days.

The Long Island Ducks today announced that Troy Cate has been signed by the Toronto Blue Jays organization and assigned to their Double-A affiliate, New Hampshire of the Eastern League. The starter became the Flock’s first seven-game winner on Wednesday, July 22 and was impressive down the stretch winning four straight with a 3.52 ERA over that span. Cate becomes the fifth Duck in 2009 to sign with an affiliated club.
