Record: 54-34, 2nd place NL East

Did not do as well as the last month and a half. Did manage to get Jose Vidro into the All-Star Game; It's a good thing, because he leads the league in batting.

Armas Sent Down
Tony Armas, Jr. was sent to AAA Edmonton, after his ERA balooned to 7.09 in 28 games as a reliever. He will go back to his traditional starter's role, hopefully getting back into a productive groove. 22 year old RP Chad Cordero was called up in his place.

Nick Johnson Update
After starting the season on the DL, Nick Johnson has played relatively well, his OBP a healthy .403. He's currently batting second in the order.

Cabrera Being Shopped
The Expos are looking to trade SS Orlando Cabrera, as he is demanding a $6 million/year salary. Management doesn't believe it is worth paying that kind of money for a career .269 hitter, even though his defense is among the best in the league.

Batista Injured
Home run leader Tony Batista will be out for four weeks due to a strained ACL. Jamey Carroll will get most of the playing time at the hot corner, with Scott Hodges, called up from AAA Edmonton looking to make his major league debut sometime in the next month.

Minor League Spotlight
AAA 1B Larry Broadway continues to play well, posting .335-23-74 through 88 games. He may get a shot at the parent club in September if his numbers continue to improve.
AA SP Mike Hinkley has gone 8-4 with a 2.78 ERA, striking out 79 batters in 107 IP. The most impressive stat, however, has been his pinpoint control: He's walked only 16! This youngster is only 21, and he looks to have a good future ahead.
