Curious about this. In the Tennessee game, Vitters is listed as 3B, going 0-0. Then, Marquez Smith is listed as PH-3B 0-4. For some reason, Vitters must have started at 3B, but never got to bat as Smith PHd for him and took over at 3rd. Anyone know what happened there?

Vitters played in the field for the first two innings (with an error and an assist in the 1st), then was pinch-hit for to lead off the top of the third. I got that from the game recap but saw nothing that indicates why he left the game.

The Cubs anticipate that prospect Josh Vitters will be day-to-day after he took a ground ball off his right thumb in Monday night's 10-1 loss for the Double-A Tennessee Smokies.

Jesus Morelli extended his hit streak to 16 games and Chris Huseby returned to the mound with mixed results (7 of first 8 pitches were balls, eventually allowed a triple and then struck out the side on 10 straight pitches): http://www.thecubreporter.com/2010/05/31/morelli-extends-hit-streak-huseby-returns-mound-fitch-park
