Brown: 1-for-4 with 1 Run, 1 SB, & 1 K.
Barton: 1-for-3 with 1 K.
A's Beat Blue Jays 3-1

Scott Rolen(Blue Jays):
Scott Rolen is no stranger to the All-Star Game, though he's only represented that National League during his career. After being acquired by the Blue Jays over the offseason, Rolen now has a chance to suit up for the American League.
Rolen Could Get First Chance At AL

David Eckstein & Hector Luna(Blue Jays):
David Eckstein was off the disabled list and back in the Blue Jays' lineup on Tuesday, but the shortstop wants to make sure he's eased back into the mix after missing three weeks with a right hip injury.
Eckstein To Be Weaned Back

Scott Rolen & David Eckstein(Blue Jays):
Rolen: 1-for-3 with 1 BB.
Eckstein: 2-for-3 with 1 BB.
Blue Jays Lost To A's 3-1

Julian Tavarez(Brewers):
The newest Brewer wanted to introduce himself to all of his teammates before introducing himself to reporters.
Brewers Add Tavarez To Bullpen Mix

Russell Branyan(Brewers):
Bill Hall barely said a word over the past four seasons as the Brewers pinballed him around the diamond, from third base to shortstop to center field and then back to third base. When it became clear over the weekend that Hall was losing his everyday spot in the lineup, he finally spoke up.
Hall Unhappy With Platoon At Third

Russell Branyan & Julian Tavarez(Brewers):
Branyan: 1-for-3 with 1 2B, 1 Run, 1 IBB, 1 K, & Assisted In 1 Double Play.

Brewers Beat Braves 3-2

Jeff Weaver(Brewers):
As part of the free-agent deal Jeff Weaver signed with the Brewers, if the team doesn't call him up by Sunday, he can ask for his release. But it is iffy if that will happen since Weaver has done almost nothing to show he is a better option than anyone in the Brewers current rotation.
Yost Defends Team's Roster Shakeup

Jim Edmonds(Cubs):
Jim Edmonds has three hits in 20 at-bats since joining the Cubs, and it's a little early to judge what the outfielder can do, manager Lou Piniella said Tuesday.
Edmonds Getting Time To Find Form

0-for-4.
Cubs Beat Dodgers 3-1

Hendry felt it was a safe risk since it was low-cost and Edmonds is a proven playoff performer. But Edmonds has done nothing to disprove the assessment of most scouts and everyone in the general vicinity of San Diego that he's no longer a viable hitter. Hendry asked not to make "knee-jerk" reactions to Edmonds, but it's hard to see this one going on much longer, barring a sudden turnaround.
Ask Paul Sullivan

Dan Haren(Diamondbacks):
Loss(5-4), Started, 6 Innings, 9 Hits, 5 Runs(All ER), 1 BB, 1 WP, 2 HR's, & 7 K's(pitches-strikes:97-62)(ground out-fly out:6-5)(0-for-2 with 1 K At The Plate).
D-Backs Lose To Giants 6-3

Danny Ardoin(Dodgers):
Danny Ardoin doesn't speak Japanese and has never caught Hiroki Kuroda in a game, not even in Spring Training, but he wasn't worried about his scheduled Dodgers debut behind the plate Tuesday night against the Cubs.
Ardoin Sees No Barrier In Debut

Danny Ardoin & Mark Sweeney(Dodgers):

2-for-3 with 2 Two-Out RBI's, 1 SB, & 1 HBP.
Mets Beat Marlins 5-3

Marlon Anderson(Mets):
The Mets may have lost a little of their depth yesterday for an extended time. Righthander Matt Wise was placed on the 15-day disabled list with right rotator cuff tendinitis and infielder/outfielder Marlon Anderson was found to have a tear of his left hamstring.
