Another view through the netting behind home plate at First Energy Stadium in Reading, this time of the visiting dugout. Placido Polanco will again sit out tonight's game because of a lingering elbow problem. He was hit by a pitch about a month ago and the injury just does not go away. Reports have it that an MRI is scheduled for tomorrow. So the infield is now down to Castro at third and Valdez at short.
Pat Burrell, released by the Rays, has signed a minor league deal with the offensively-challenged Giants. He will report to their Triple-A Fresno team.
Dontrelle Willis has been designated for assignment by the Tigers. And Jose Lima has been laid to rest.
