Wednesday May 13 Bulletpoints

This is going to be an abbreviated version, guys.  Sorry, but I'm swamped with finals until Friday.  

• Troy Tulowitzki left the game against the Astros after being hit in the elbow with a 95 MPH fastball.  Tulo was writhing in pain on the ground, but after the game said that the injury didn't require X-Rays and he'd be day-to-day.  I'd expect to see Tulo get at least one day off, as its a good opportunity for him to rest that sore quad, too.
• As elaborated on in an earlier blog post, Matt Gamel and Nolan Reimold were called up by the Brewers and Orioles, respectively.  It's not clear how much playing time either will get, but seeing as how Adam Jones should be out for a couple of days after mildly straining his hamstring, I'd say Reimold has the better shot of seeing immediate AB's.  Both are low-risk, high-reward type guys.  
• Johnny Damon  continued his ways, going 2-5 with an RBI.  Damon is hitting everything right now, and showing no signs of slowing down.  He really wants that contract from the Yankees at the end of the year.
• Shairon Martis improved to 5-0, pitching 7 innings of 1 run ball against the Giants.  Martis isn't a big strikeout guy, but all of his pitches have a ton of movement, and all the reports I've read are relatively enthusiastic about him.  Should be owned in NL-only leagues by now, and possibly worth a flyer in deeper mixed leagues.
• The Big Puma, Lance Berkman, awoke from his slumber on Wednesday to go 4-4 with 2 RBI's, contributing to an Astros attack that put up 15 runs on Jason Marquis and the Rockies bullpen.  It felt like a vintage Coors Field game last night.
• It's official.  Cliff Lee is for real.  Pitched 7 scoreless innings against the White Sox, struck out nine, and his ERA is now down to 3.00 on the year after a rocky start.  He's not getting any run support, but he got plenty of it last year, so he has no room to complain.  
• Matt Palmer, 30 year old Angels journeyman, pitched a complete game against the Red Sox.  He surrendered 4 runs, but only gave up 5 hits, and struck out 8.  Palmer is pretty unimpressive, as he throws 88 MPH tops, and his offspeed stuff is average, but he gets the job done.  He's now pitched pretty well against both the Yankees and Red Sox.  He's making a statement to Sciosa that he wants to stick around when the Angels get their horses back.
• Speaking of which, Ervin Santana will pitch in his season debut for the Angels tomorrow against the Red Sox at 3:35 EST.  Should be interesting.

That's it for tonight.  Peace, guys.
