If you haven't been paying attention for the last three hours, well, uh, a lot of things are different.
To Recap.
Vernon Wells and John McDonald are taken off the DL and promoted to the big club - they arrived in Toronto at about noon today. Wells was expected to be out 6 to 8 weeks, and its been almost four weeks exactly, so I guess that broken wrist wasn't so bad. He singled in his second at bat, and looks good. Brian Wolfe has also been promoted to the Majors from AAA, where he had pitched 4 perfect innings with 5 k, 0 bb and 2 hits allowed. Wells was 4 for 8 with 4 singles in A+, McDonald 4 for 11 with 4 singles.
To make room for them, Aaron Hill was placed on the 15 day DL retroactive to May 30th with a concussion. Joe Inglett was optioned to AAA. Armando Benitez was designated for assignment. He had allowed 5.32 runs (earned and unearned) per 9 innings over the last four years, this one included.
Meanwhile, Shannon Stewart left the game with an ankle sprain after beating a throw to first that took Kevin Millar off the bag. Vernon Wells was the defensive replacement, and is now playing centre field - he almost made a brilliant catch at the wall in the 5th, but just missed it. Stewart is listed as day to day.
Find the whole wrap up here.
Hat Tip to everyone pointing things out - I figured there was enough going on for a thread.
