- The Chicago Hitmen lost ace Gerardo Pacheco today. The 31 year old, 17-6 3.24 last year, will miss the remainder of the year with an elbow injury.
- The 2011 trade with Detroit that netted CF Kevin Dietz saw us send RP John Sirianni to the Phantoms. He split duties last year going 10-9 4.62 in 38 G and 24 starts. The 24 year old was lost for at least this year and probably some of next after undergoing elbow reconstruction surgery.

- Danny Eckenrode has a shoulder strain and will be out at least 6 weeks. Sean Garrison has been recalled.
- Former Iron pig RP Matt Wright signed a 1 year 900K contract with Jacksonville. We'd been talking to him about a 1 year deal as well.

- Philly 2B Jonathan Flores went 5-5 in a 10-3 win over the Hitmen.
5/9- OFF DAY- AA Milwaukee scored 5 runs in the bottom of the 9th, then gave up 6 in the top of the 10th to fall to 5-20 on the year.
- Cheol-min Cho will take over the catching duties for a few days. Brian Stachowski is struggling since coming off his rehab. Cho will hit 7th.
- Jason Roberts is seriously struggling. .182/.247/.247 with a HR and 11 RBI's. Matt Chiquete is once again beating on the door and Danny Perez (.246/.293/.391) isn't helping things. I am going to give it a few more days before pulling the trigger on any potential move with the added challenge of the teams most popular player is struggling big time.
