 Sidney Ponson-S- RoyalsAug. 12 - 4:04 pm et
Royals released RHP Sidney Ponson.
He's now free to sign with anyone, but given his 7.36 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and extensive off-field troubles, it's hard to imagine why any organization would take a shot on the 32-year-old right-hander. At the very least, it's hard to envision him pitching in the majors again in 2009.

 Sidney Ponson-S - Royals Aug. 2 - 12:49 pm et

Royals designated RHP Sidney Ponson for assignment.
It's about time. Was this Ponson's final stint in the major leagues? We can only hope. He finishes up the season (provided no other GMs sign him) with a 7.36 ERA in 58 2/3 innings on the year. If he so chooses, the Royals will offer him a spot at Triple-A Omaha. Kyle Davies will be recalled to take Ponson's rotation spot and start Wednesday. Davies has 4-2 record and a 2.14 ERA in eight starts in Omaha since his optioning June 20.

Sidney Ponson surrendered six runs in five innings Tuesday in a loss to the Angels.
Exactly what the Royals should have expected from him. There's no point to continue running him out there, but the Royals may choose to do so anyway, . He's 1-6 with a 7.63 ERA.
 Sean O'Sullivan-S - Angels Jul. 20 - 9:53 pm et  

Monday's game between the Angels and Royals has been postponed due to rain.
The contest never got going, so the Angels could opt to simply start Monday's scheduled hurler, Sean O'Sullivan, during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader. And the Royals could do the same with their scheduled starter, Sidney Ponson.

Royals activated RHP Sidney Ponson from the 15-day disabled list.
Ponson, taking the roster spot of the injured Gil Meche, is scheduled to start on Monday against the Angels. Ponson hasn't made an appearance for the Royals since late May. He went 1-5 with a 7.27 ERA and 1.73 WHIP in 43 1/3 innings for the Royals earlier this year. Ponson was better in the minors, putting up a 2.18 ERA in six rehab starts at Triple-A Omaha. Steer clear in fantasy.
 Sidney Ponson-S - Royals Jun. 26 - 5:39 pm et

Sidney Ponson tested positive for a stimulant at the WBC, and has been banned from international competition for two years.
Ponson will not be suspended by Major League Baseball, but he's been replaced as scheduled starter this Saturday by Bruce Chen. It isn't known if this is a result of the suspension.
