San Francisco organization (AAA Fresno) places Eli Whiteside on the temporarily inactive list.

Whoa. Why did Jesse get sent down?
Injury-related. It's got to be. He's only pitched seven innings, has ten strikeouts and the only two runs he's given up have been on two solo home runs. Aside from those two home runs, he's been pitching lights out.
That was my assumption, too, although I didn't see anything to confirm it (and frankly, I didn't look very hard).
Yahoo says strained left oblique, on the DL since April 21.
Is young back on the field?
Yep, he played yesterday. At DH, which seems to be happening more often.
Hrm, I wonder why...../maniacal laughter
It's because the Tigers don't have anyone else who can play there, natch.
should have total updates for the indie leagues later this week.
Hey, rosterman, where can I find indie league transactions? Do you have a site of your own, or do you have a place I can find them? Any help you can give would be appreciated. Thanks.
American Association, CanAm, Frontier, Atlantic - These are the big four for now and they list transactions on the league sites as they happen and organized team pages.
Also of note, baseballreference now runs stats for mexican, japan, and the big four indie leagues in their minor league results, that look to be updated as they happen. You can also go to their minor league roster pages tp see complete roster stats once a season starts.
Basically, I look at rosters and try and track and remember from memory, every year I relook at recent Twins draft choices to see if someone was re-drafted elsewhere.
Why do I do this, some may ask. I still collect autographs and try to track players to send cards to off and on, if need be...plus...I enjoy it.
I try to keep rosters updated at http://www.twinscards.com, both major and minor. Any of you ex-twins fans should check out these pages.

Thanks!
