• Lexington CF Rafael Valdez fractured his shoulder blade and will be out 4 weeks.

Philadelphia GM John Evans is still not happy with his pitching. He wants to trade his all-star 1B Armando Estrada (.337/.395/.676, 32 HR, 99 RBI) for Ray Alexander. It is an intriguing offer but Alexander probably should be labeled as untouchable.
