Deadwood continues to hang on to it's half share of first place in the McCoy Division (Damnit Jim, I'm a Doctor, not a baseball division!), but has lost another starter, as RHP Jose Rijo has gone on the shelf with a strained calf muscle.Ê Rijo joins starting pitchers Jeff Fassero and Jason Schmidt on Deadwood's over-crowded disabled list, that also includes Javy Lopez (who is expected back in a month), and Ken Caminiti (who is out for the year).
RHP Bill Risley has been re-called from Dodge City to take Rijo's place in the rotation.Ê
TRADE TALKS
Rumors have it that Outlaw pitching prospects, Dick Duncan and Clint Faatz, may be headed out, but nothing is done yet.
