Ex-Cardinals Watch 9-7-08: Cepeda Statue, Reyes May Miss Next Start, Wilson Still Out, Drew looking To Return, Cabrera Clubs 1st Career GS

Orlando Cepeda:
Saturday's dedication of the statue honoring Orlando Cepeda celebrated the man just as much as the ballplayer.
Grateful Cepeda Honored With Statue

Anthony Reyes(Indians):
Anthony Reyes said the right elbow that stiffened up and limited him to three innings of work Friday night felt better Saturday.
Lewis Could Start In Reyes' Place

Jack Wilson(Pirates):
Shortstop Jack Wilson (bruised index finger) last night missed his fifth straight game. Wilson's finger remains swollen and he is unable to throw.
Around The Horn

Troy Percival(Rays):
In many ways, it would be easy to consider Saturday afternoon's 7-4 loss in extra innings to the Blue Jays as a crushing defeat for the Rays.
Not For Lack Of Effort, Rays Let Series Slip

Jolbert Cabrera(Reds):
After the Reds loaded the bases with no outs against Michael Wuertz in the ninth inning, Jolbert Cabrera's first career grand slam off Carlos Marmol brought Cincinnati within five runs. But it was far from enough to make up for a sloppy night from the Reds' bullpen.
Stolen Firepower

J.D. Drew(RedSox):
David Aardsma threw to hitters on Saturday, one of whom was J.D. Drew, which had manager Terry Francona interested in both ends of the matchup.

Chris Lambert(Tigers):
Detroit's starting rotation of the near future began to take shape after Detroit manager Jim Leyland announced that Nate Robertson will likely take Kenny Rogers' scheduled start on Tuesday. The skipper has his rotation solidified through next weekend's three-game series against the White Sox.
