Baltimore’s CF Antonio Zavala is expected to miss the next 3 weeks with a fractured rib. In the top of the 8th with a runner on first, Zavala hit a double into left center. In an attempt to hold the runner at third, Washington left fielder Sancho Granados rushed his throw in – which sailed over the waiting cutoff man, shortstop Manny Ortega, and managed to find its way directly into an oblivious Zavala at second base. Zavala immediately doubled over in obvious pain, and team trainers rushed out onto the field to inspect him. He was promptly removed from the game, and subsequent scans revealed the damage.

So far this season Zavala has hit .310 with 21 HR and 76 RBI. There has been no official word yet on who will replace him.

Star left fielder Jorge Alvarado will be sidelined for the next 3-4 weeks. The Padres outfielder rolled his ankle while running down a short fly ball in today’s game against the Rockies. It is being reported that he suffered a sprained ankle and will miss time as he heals up from it. So far this season Alvarado is hitting .324 with 17 HR and 50 RBI.

Head first slides claim another victim! This time it’s Cincinnati first baseman Sumitomo Kamida who fell victim to the perils of launching oneself head first at maximum velocity into a base. Kamida attempted to stretch a hit out into a double and as he slide into second base his extended hand was met by the foot of Dodgers shortstop Rod Knutsen. The collision resulted in a fractured hand for Kamida, who is now expected to miss somewhere in the range of 7-8 weeks as he recovers. Kamida is currently hitting .289 with 28 HR for the Reds.

Another one bites the dust. Brad Sutherland’s season is officially over. The Reds left fielder was taken out of the game today against the Dodgers when team trainers spotted him clutching at his shoulder following a throw. Upon being inspected, he appeared to protest against being taken out, but in the end manager Carlos Santana decided to error on the side of caution and take him out. It appears to have been a good decision by the skipper, as we have received reports that Sutherland is suffering from apparent shoulder inflammation. In order to avoid further damage to his arm, he is done for the rest of the season. So far this year Sutherland has hit .272 with 31 HR and 103 RBI.

8/22/2033

Padres veteran Brendan Rodgers has been named the NL Player of the Week! The 36 year old third baseman has been on fire since returning from injury, hitting .577 with 2 HR and 6 RBI over the 7 days.

8/25/2033

Phillies closer Roger Lacroix has racked up save #300! Lacroix took down the Brewers in order to achieve this milestone, as the Phillies took the game 2-0.

8/28/2033

Add one more member to the 300 save club! This time it was Giants closer Luis Pena who achieved the feat. Pena entered the game in the 9th against the Dodgers with a 4-1 lead – he gave up a homerun before retiring the side, an effort good enough to earn him the save and give his team a 4-2 victory.

Monthly Review

We seem to be gaining a bit of momentum as we start our approach to the end of the season. We went 16-11 in August – bringing our overall record to 76-56. We currently sit in 2nd place, 1 game behind Arizona, and 3 games up on Colorado. The pitching staff has continued to improve and is currently performing like one of the top staffs in the NL – which bodes well for us going forward. The offense on the other hand continues to perform at a second tier level. As the prospect of making the playoffs enters our view, we know that our pitching will be able to keep us in games, but it is unclear if we’ll be able to produce enough runs to win a series. We’ll be keeping a close eye on the lineup to see if there are any adjustments that we can make to get more out of the guys.
