When last we left you, Baker had been called up to the Twins and Votto was learning the outfield (presumably to give the Reds some idea as to whether he could plug into the OF).
The latest news out of Minnesota is that Ortiz is being shifted to the pen, and one of the Redwings will be taking his place on Friday. Rumor has it Slowey will be making the jump to Minnesota, which makes sense given his performance at AAA this year.
Remember when Milwaukee assured us all that there was absolutely no time table for Braun to get a shot with the big club? Yeah, he's up and hit his first HR on Saturday. He should be up to stay.That's three of five so far for PnR. I still feel Gallardo will be up sooner rather than later, especially with the current six-game losing streak. Votto is another matter. If he progresses in the outfield, he could certainly see time come July/August.
We'll take a look and get our Next 5 out again once we see that Slowey is indeed up this Friday.
