INJURY NEWS-San Antonio 3B Wes Morgan, ya that Wes Morgan, will miss the next 4 weeks after a bruised shoulder, suffered in a base running collision today. Morgan, is hitting .281-15-42 in 47 games since being acquired and the Silver Stars are leading the WC, and .5 game in back of Tulsa.
ROSTER NEWS-Morgan and Hall remain with the big club, Rogers comes off rehab. Watanabe gives the pen an extra arm, Leo Aachen will give us a 3rd catcher, Dennis Ash will be recalled. I am going to move to a 6 man rotation for the month, give the starters some breathing room, and when Tulsa is done call up a few more guys to make sure the rotation is setup and rested come playoff time.
