After writing how the Pirates haven't been using Craig Wilson enough, we'll see him tonight in place of
Sean Casey, who will be out 6-8 weeks with two fractures in his lower back after a collision with
John Mabry last night. Yeowch. In other Pirate (and ex-Cub) injury news, Jody Gerut has been placed on the Restricted List after electing to have knee surgery against the wishes of the team.
The Cubs made a roster move too, sending Michael Wuertz to AAA where he blongs and recalling the 100% valley-fever-free Roberto Novoa.
Todd Walker gets four hits last night and sits tonight. Get used to it, Cubs fans.
Jerome Williams makes his first start of the season tonight. As
Kerry Wood,
Wade Miller and
Mark Prior inch closer to returning (Wood threw to hitters today and both Miller and Prior had 40-pitch sessions yesterday), Williams needs to establish himself if he hopes to stay in the rotation past May. Then again, he could always take
Glendon Rusch's spot.
