Activated Luis Marte (RHP) from the 7-day DL (shoulder)
Re-assigned Luis Marte (RHP) from Toledo to Erie
Re-assigned Zach Samuels (RHP) from Erie to Lakeland
Placed Matt Little (RHP) on the 7-day DL
Placed Brandon Inge (3B) on the 15-day DL (mono)
Recalled Omir Santos (C) from Toledo
Activated Nate Newman (RHP) from the 7-day DL (hamstring)
Re-assigned Tim Mowry (RHP) from West Michigan to EST
Analysis: Marte has been dealing with shoulder trouble since spring training and it appears he is finally right enough to get back in game action. One scout that saw him recently in EST said "He looks fine, not the same pitcher he was three years ago, but he's useful in AA."
Little's DL stint should carry some worry with it. Reports from scouts have had his velocity down to 88-90 for the most part this year instead of 92-94 where he was during the Fall Instructional League. That type of velocity loss is never a good sign, and an associated DL stint just adds to that.

Released Jimmy Gulliver (INF)
Re-assigned Ryan Soares (INF) from Lakeland to West Michigan
Activated William Bergolla (INF) from the 7-day DL (finger)
Analysis: Some pretty minor moves in the grand scheme of the system, just shuffling some utility infielders around and trying to help the benches of the A-ball clubs.
