2 Mud Hens on World team
The Toledo Mud Hens will send two members of the organization to play and coach in the 2008 Futures Game.
Toledo manager Larry Parrish will join Detroit prospect Wilkin Ramirez (an outfielder currently with Double-A Erie) on the World Team during the Major League Baseball All-Star festivities during a game to be played on July 13 at Yankee Stadium in New York.
Ramirez, 22, who played with the Mud Hens earlier in the season, is ranked as the 14th best prospect in the Tigers organization.
Chicago Cubs: Reliever Scott Eyre was put on the 15-day disabled list because of a left groin strain. The Cubs recalled right-hander Jose Ascanio from Triple-A Iowa.
Florida: Second baseman Dan Uggla sprained his left ankle during Saturday night's game while trying to return to first after a single. Uggla began Saturday leading the majors with 23 home runs.
Kansas City: Alberto Callaspo, one day after being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, was placed on the disabled list for undisclosed reasons.
Minnesota: Rightfielder Michael Cuddyer missed Saturday's game because of a strained tendon in his left index finger.
N.Y. Yankees: Manager Joe Girardi hinted Hideki Matsui, who is on the 15-day DL, could need surgery on his ailing left knee. "Could it be more? Yes," Girardi said.
Pittsburgh: Right-handed reliever Denny Bautista is considered day-to-day after being struck on the right forearm by a line drive Friday night. Bautista, the former Tiger, could be available again as soon as Monday.
