Alex Rios was placed on the 15-day DL yesterday due to the infection in his left leg. So it doesn't look like Rios will be named to the all-star game.

Vernon Wells sat out last nights game, and it seems unlikely that he'll be able to go today as well. Wells pulled up lame running down the first base line on Friday night with a hamstring injury.

Long time minor league Chad Mottola was called up. In Syracuse this season, he is hitting .278 with 12 HR's and 58 RBI's in 77 games
