ROSTER NEWS-With Martinez coming off the DL and his rehab a corresponding move will need to be made. Pallard has outpitched McKinley but Steve has no options remaining and I'll lose him on waivers for sure. I shopped him, and there's major interest (as expected), but I don't see a deep need right now, so I'll hold on and send Pallard back.
