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.

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.

Ex-Cardinals Watch 6-9-09: Wilson Perez & Nate Cotton Sign Deals; Kip Wells Rehab Assignment; Blaine Boyer Activated; Jason Isringhausen Unhappy
Jason Isringhausen (Rays):
The lack of a closer has been a popular subject of conversation and criticism around the Rays. But they do have a pitcher with 293 career saves, and RHP Jason Isringhausen spoke Monday with manager Joe Maddon about his lack of opportunities.
St. Petersburg Times
Troy Percival (Rays):
The Angels visit Tampa Bay today, but they won't see their old closer, Troy Percival, who has a shoulder injury. When the Rays put him on the disabled list last month, Manager Joe Maddon said Percival might retire.
Not yet, agent Paul Cohen said Monday.
"He's working with a chiropractor to see if they can get it straightened out," Cohen said. "We'll see where we are in a week or two. He'd like to come back and pitch."
LA Times
Coco Crisp & Sidney Ponson (Royals):
Center fielder Coco Crisp went one for three after returning to the lineup for the first time since Friday and is tentatively scheduled to play all three games in the series.
“He took batting practice, only right-handed, two days ago in Toronto,” manager Trey Hillman said. “He felt good, and he took some of the best right-handed swings I’ve seen from him. I think the time off that we gave him should be productive.”
Right-hander Sidney Ponson threw for the first time since a strained right elbow forced him to the disabled list after a May 29 appearance against the White Sox. He made 45 throws from flat ground and is tentatively scheduled Thursday to get on a mound in a bullpen workout.
Kansas City Star
Blaine Boyer (Diamondbacks):
Arizona Diamondbacks activated him.
Russell Branyan (Mariners):
If you're expecting Russell Branyan to alter his approach to hitting because he's been moved into the second spot in the Mariners' batting order, think again. Things are going so well for Branyan in his first season in Seattle, he's not about to start overthinking his new assignment in the lineup.

Kip Wells (Nationals):
The Potomac Nationals are enduring a number of player moves in the last couple of days and another Major Leaguer has just been added to the active roster. Washington Nationals reliever Kip Wells will join the P-Nats on a rehab assignment as the team starts their three game series with Winston-Salem Tuesday evening at Pfitzner Stadium.

Wilson Perez (Yankees):
The New York Yankees signed 1B/OF Wilson Perez and assigned him to their Dominican League #2 club.
Perez, 20, was signed by the St. Louis Cardinals in 2006/07 out of the country of Venezuela. He played two seasons with the Venezuelan Summer League Cardinals hitting .184 with six doubles, one triple, one home run, six RBIs, eight runs, 14 walks, and struck out times in 50 games and 103 at-bats.
He missed a considerable amount of time during the 2008 season and spent time with the Cardinals team in the Venezuelan Parallel League this past winter. Perez was released after winter ball.

The Kansas City T-Bones signed him to a deal for 2009 season.
