MEDICAL WATCH:

OF Joey Gathright (left shoulder) did not play July 3-4 and was day-to-day.

INF Alberto Callaspo (undisclosed medical condition) went on the 15-day disabled list June 28.

RHP Leo Nunez (tear in right lat) went on the 15-day disabled list May 28. He began throwing off flat ground June 11.

LHP John Bale (fatigued shoulder, fractured left hand) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 16, and he was transferred to the 60-day DL on June 24. He threw a pain-free bullpen session April 29, and he was scheduled to be activated in the middle of the week of May 5-11. But after a so-so bullpen session May 2 during which his shoulder didn't respond as Bale would've hoped, Bale punched a hotel door in Cleveland and fractured his left (throwing) hand.

RHP Luke Hudson (shoulder surgery in June 2007) opened the season on the 15-day disabled list, and he was transferred to the 60-day DL on May 30. He began pitching in extended spring training in mid-May.
