Ben Wagner tells us that Rowdy Tellez is heading to Houston to join the club for tonight’s game. Ben is the only one posting this news, but I’d imagine he wouldn’t lie to us. Right?
It sounds like Panik will end up on the IL, but likely for a short time, not much more than the ten days (retroactive to his last game).
Rowdy had a home run and a double yesterday in the Thunder Bisons game. In three games in Trenton, Rowdy has a .300/.462/.800 line (just 13 PA). With the Blue Jays, he was hitting .183/.222/.267 before being sent down.

Larry Corcoran is a name a lot of fans may be unfamiliar with, but for a brief time in the 1880s as a member of the Chicago White Stockings, he was quite a force on the mound. The right-hander tossed three no-hitters in the early 1880s, but he then had a hard and fast fall from grace. By 85 Corcoran had a dead arm and two years later he was completely out of baseball. Unrelated to his no-hitters, he is amusingly credited with coming up with the first method of communicating pitches with his catcher something he accomplished by shifting his wad of tobacco to different places in his mouth.
