From today’s Portland Beavers’ email …
Loretta to the Beavers: According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Padres second baseman Mark Loretta will join the Beavers on an injury-rehab assignment immediately after the All-Star break in Tacoma. Loretta injured his left thumb on a head-first dive into first base on May 17th in Atlanta, necessitating surgery. The two-time Padres Most Valuable Player has recovered quicker than many thought he would, and he’s eligible to come off the 60-day disabled list on Tuesday, July 19th.
From The AP: To make room for RHP Pedro Astacio, the Padres designated pitcher Brian Falkenborg for assignment. Falkenborg was winless with an 8.18 in 10 appearances. … Manager Bruce Bochy said nothing has been determined about RHP Adam Eaton after he comes back from a strained right middle finger. “We’re probably going to have him do some bullpen, then a simulated game, and then maybe a rehab start,” Bochy said. “It’s not etched in stone, if he has a good simulated game.” … With 418th saves, Trevor Hoffman is six behind John Franco (424) for second place on baseball’s career list. … RHP Paul Quantrill recorded his first NL win since Sept. 21, 2003, while with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
