injury news

A trip to the disabled list for Milwaukee shortstop Alex Gonzalez means a trip to the big leagues for Delta State product Edwin Maysonet. Maysonet, who last played in the majors with Houston in 2009, had a good spring with the Brewers but was hitting just .214 at Triple-A Nashville. Still, Maysonet’s defense likely will be the key to how much he plays while Gonzalez is out. … Also, former Southern Miss standout Brian Dozier is getting his first call to the big leagues by Minnesota to fill the roster spot of injured Justin Morneau. Dozier was hitting .276 at Triple-A Rochester. The Twins are also recalling ex-Mississippi Braves left-hander Scott Diamond. … Former Meridian Community College ace Cliff Lee is expected to be activated for a Wednesday start with Philadelphia, according to MLB Network. … And former Jackson Generals star Lance Berkman reportedly is very close to getting back in the St. Louis lineup. The ageless Berkman, out since April 19 with a calf injury, is hitting .348 in 23 at-bats.
