Doug Mathis has been put on the disabled list with shoulder inflammation. Luis Mendoza has been called up to take his place. Interesting call up. I didn't realize Mathis was hurting.

No Josh Hamilton. No Michael Young. Doug Mathis, one of the American League’s more volatile pitchers through the first month of his big league career, squaring off against the respectable Matt Garza on a suffocatingly warm Sunday afternoon at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.
