also mentions Diamond still expected to start Tuesday.

I was thinking that the Cubs might call up a pitcher just to give an extra bullpen arm for tonight since they wouldn't need to call up Diamond until tomorrow. Coleman would probably go right back down tomorrow unless they place Silva on the DL.

BTW neither Coleman nor Diamond are currently on the 40-man roster, but (at least according to cubs.com) the roster is currently only at 38, so no 40-man roster moves would need to be made.

Update: Silva has been placed on the 15-day DL. The roster is still at 24, so no corresponding move will need to be made when Diamond is called up tomorrow.

Jay Jackson probably wants to cripple the brain trust who suggested his little bullpen experiment.

Has Coleman been sent down yet?

They really did him a disservice by not moving him to the bullpen in Iowa to prepare him before calling him up.

Agreed. He skipped the minor league bullpen test and clearly that's why he suffered.

Can Schlitter go back down with him?

They already flushed him down the toilet.
