The Day in Review

As the trade deadline approaches, more names move. Anthony Reyes is now a member of the Cleveland Indians, though it doesn't look like he'll be on their big-league roster initially. Now, on to the stuff we always report...

Injury News

• Dustin McGowan is set to have season-ending surgery. If you haven't dropped him already, it's time.
• Chris Carpenter is set to return in St. Louis. I don't think he's going to be too great, but I was wrong about BJ Ryan. It's been 16 months since Carpenter stepped on a mound and maybe he's ready to pitch.

Notable Performances

• Alex Rios - 2 HR, 3 RBI. He had such a tough first half, he has to improve on those numbers for the last 2+ months.
• Mark Teixeira had a three-run HR. Do you think he'll be a Brave in August?
• Torii Hunter hit 2 HR and drove in 5, helping Jon Garland get another victory in Baltimore.
• Adrian Gonzalez joined the 2 HR fun, driving in four and helping San Diego defeat Pittsburgh.
• Carlos Delgado hit 2 HR and drove in three.
• Tim Lincecum, 13 strikeouts in 7. Brandon Webb, 8 strikeouts in 7. Webb got the win, even though he gave up 3 earned and Lincecum only gave up 2. Baseball is a funny game sometimes.

That's what you need to know about the day.
