We have the answer as to why Domonic Brown was pulled after the 5th inning of last night's game. According to Jeff Schuler of the Morning Call, Brown re-aggravated a left knee injury that kept him out for that long stretch of games back in May. It is unclear how long he will be out this time.
It's not a good time for Dom to get injured again as he was showing signs of turning things around. Over his last 10 games Brown was hitting .297 with 8 runs, 3 HR, and 5 RBI.

This morning B&B speculated that Rich Thompson might be going back to Tampa Bay after Luke Scott was placed on the DL. Fortunately for us - unfortunately for Richie T - he will be staying in the Valley this weekend as the Rays called up a reliever instead.

Tampa Bay third baseman Evan Longoria will be the Bulls' designated hitter tomorrow night as he begins his rehab assignment. Longoria has been out since April 30.
Jeff Keppinger will DH for Durham tonight. He was hitting .295 with Tampa before landing on the DL on May 21.
