• Keenan Hallamore came out of the game late after coming up lame. Given the fact he's never come out of a game before despite being hurt many times I'm concerned. We'll put him on the 10-day as a precaution and to give him a blow. Danny Sharp is destroying AAA pitching (.370) and has nothing left to prove so we'll give him 10 days of AB's up here.

• 7/7: OFF DAY

• Hallamore has a severe case of tendinitis. Sue says 2-3 weeks to heal if he stays active, maybe less if we DL him.
