Just when you thought you've seen the last of David Huff, here he is again!
Jampacked full of news about the baseball world beyond Homergate, including an Andy Marte update, Zach McAllister's splitter, Michael Bourn update and Carlos Zambrano is a Duck. Now with more Manny Acta!
Mark Reynolds - making the O's look more stupid with each at-bat, Ryan Raburn honored by AL, Trevor Crowe is back and top umpire-player altercations of the year so far
Obviously something changed between yesterday and today, for Vinnine Pestano has been placed on the DL with elbow tendonitis.
This move is about Pestano's elbow, but I think it means that the injury isn't that serious.
Whatever term you want to use, an elbow injury, especially to one of the Indians' best relievers, is a major concern.
You can't stop Ryan Raburn (you can't even contain him), Mr. Lee comes to town, Jim Thome is waiting for a phone call, and beer prices around MLB.
Jimenez, Raburn and Kipnis all found acorns yesterday, Bourn to test wrist in minor rehab action, Trevor Bauer to get spot start.
Also, Corey Kluber set down the last 10 Royals that he faced Sunday.
Last night in Columbus, Carlos Carrasco was struck by a line drive. Unfortunately, the ball struck him on his right arm.

Nick Swisher's tribute to his grandparents, Marson back tomorrow and Justin Masterson's charity work and more JoePos on Buck O'Neill and Jackie Robinson.
Kipnis scheduled to return on Friday and other Tribe-related news,
Scott Kazmir went 5 innings and Carlos Carrasco took it home from there for the Clippers in a 4-1 victory over Louisville. And, oh yeah, the Red Sox are in town.
Late in today's game, Michael Bourn reached first base just before Matt Thornton reached the base. However, in the process, Matt Thornton stepped on Bourn's hand.
Whew! When the Indians announce moves, they come in bunches, don't they?
Major League Baseball has suspended Carlos Carrasco eight games for hitting Kevin Youkilis with a pitch.
Mariano Rivera tells John Adams that he is "the man" and other news from a soggy Wednesday with no Tribe baseball.
Roster move today: Recalled RHP COREY KLUBER from AAA Columbus; Optioned RHP CARLOS CARRASCO to Columbus — Cleveland Indians (@Indians) April 10, 2013 More coming soon... ~westbrook
Now that we know Carlos Santana is day to day (but then again, aren't we all?), on to the other news from Opening Day in Cleveland, delivered fresh to your computer via the Interwebzz.
You know how I said that the Indians were injury-free going into the regular season. Go ahead and blame me for this one.
So ends the dreams of getting a return for Ezequiel Carrera.
Bad news for Alex White.
