While we don’t know when or whether today’s game will begin due to rain, but all indications are there is no rain in the area and the game will start just 10 minutes late, at 1:20 p.m. CT.
So, welcome back, Tim Elko! The Bunyanesque slugger was sent down to Charlotte for [reasons still to be determined] and pretty much just mashed at Triple-A. The call-up comes due to the loss of Brooks Baldwin, who has a sore back. Not to pick on Brooks, but who knew actually making real contact with the ball in the majors could cause such pain?
