Juan Francisco, Cin 3B
News Archive
Cincinnati Reds
Francisco is picking up a spot start at third base on Sunday, giving Scott Rolen the day off, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Spin:
Pretty standard treatment of Rolen by Reds manager Dusty Baker. Francisco is probably good to get one-to-two starts a week until Orlando Cabrera comes back from the DL.



Sun, Aug 8



Carl Crawford, TB OF
News Archive
Tampa Bay Rays
Crawford returns to the starting lineup on Sunday, after not playing in the past two games, reports Marc Topkin of the St. Petersburg Times.
Spin:
The Rays simply said Crawford was getting some extend rest over the past few days, so it doesn't sound like there was an injury or a flared up shoulder.



Sun, Aug 8



Todd Helton, Col 1B
News Archive
Colorado Rockies
Helton is not listed in Sunday's lineup against the Pirates, Troy Renck of the Denver Post reports.
Spin:
Melvin Mora will get the start at first base Sunday, while Helton, who hit a two-run homer Saturday, gets a breather.

Scott Rolen, Cin 3B
News Archive
Cincinnati Reds
Rolen is one of three Reds regulars getting the day off on Sunday, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Spin:
Rolen will be replaced by Juan Francisco. The Reds start a big three-game series against the Cardinals on Monday, so Sunday's game seems like an ideal day to give Rolen a rest.



Sun, Aug 8



Miguel Cairo, Cin 2B
News Archive
Cincinnati Reds
Cairo is getting a rare start at second base on Sunday, with Brandon Phillips resting his sore foot, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Spin:
Most of Cairo's starts have come at third base, but with Orlando Cabrera already out and Juan Francisco up with the big league team, the Reds pretty much have to use Cairo at second to give Phillips the day off. He doesn't have the range that he used to, but remember that he began his career as a middle infielder.

Geovany Soto, ChC C
News Archive
Chicago Cubs
Day-To-DaySoto (shoulder) is not listed in Sunday's lineup against the Reds, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports.
Spin:
As a result, Koyie Hill will get another start behind the plate Sunday in place of Soto, who we'll call day-to-day for now.





Drew Stubbs, Cin OF
News Archive
Cincinnati Reds
Stubbs is out of the lineup again on Sunday despite a big day on Saturday (3-for-4 with homer), with Chris Heisey again getting the nod in center, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Spin:
This has evolved into a full-on timeshare between Stubbs and Heisey in center. In the long run, both project to start for the Reds, but this year it could be dicey down the stretch for Stubbs.




Geovany Soto, ChC C

Chicago Cubs
Day-To-DaySoto (shoulder) is not listed in Sunday's lineup against the Reds, MLB.com's Carrie Muskat reports.

Sun, Aug 8



Denard Span, Min OF
News Archive
Minnesota Twins
Span is not in the lineup for Sunday's game, reports Joe Christensen of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Spin:
Span sits in favor of backup Jason Repko. Span is having a down season, with his batting average dropping 42 points, on-base percentage 54 points, and slugging percentage 58 points off of last season's marks. But at least he's not losing too much playing time over it - Sunday is just his sixth game off this year.



Sun, Aug 8

News Archive
Pittsburgh Pirates
Snyder is not listed in Sunday's lineup against the Rockies, Dejan Kovacevic of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
Spin:
