NEWSFLASH: Catalanotto to DL, Diaz called up
As expected, Frank Catalanotto has gone on the disabled list, but the news is better than expected - he has an acute strained biceps tendon in his right arm, which will not require surgery. According to doctors, Catalanotto will be able to return after 15 days.
Also as expected, outfielder Victor Diaz has been called up from AAA Oklahoma City. It wouldn't surprise me to see Victor do well in the opportunities that he receives, and if he does play well, I wonder how the front office will handle the roster situation. Could Nelson Cruz see less playing time as a result? Or will Diaz even get enough playing time for it to even matter? We'll see soon enough.
UPDATE: Pitcher Mike Wood has also been called up, with Scott Feldman being optioned to Oklahoma City. Not sure I understand this move, especially since Wes Littleton travelled with the team back to Arlington. Wood does have a 2.05 ERA in 22 innings with the Redhawks this season, but doesn't have near the upside that Littleton has.
