 Joe Thurston-3B- BravesDec. 18 - 3:54 pm et
Braves signed infielder Joe Thurston to a minor league contract.
Thurston, 30, finally got a crack at legitimate playing time in 2009 but hit just .225/.316/.330 with one homer and 25 RBI in 267 at-bats. He's unlikely to make a major impact for the Braves next season.

 Joe Thurston-3B - Braves Dec. 18 - 12:57 pm et

According to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Braves have agreed to terms on a one-year split contract with Joe Thurston.
Thurston, 30, hit just .225/.316/.330 with one homer and 25 RBI in 267 at-bats this past season with the Cardinals but showed a decent level of versatility on the St. Louis infield. The Phillies, Yankees, Rockies, Dodgers, and Indians also showed interest, according to his agent.

Cardinals sent infielder Joe Thurston and RHP Matt Scherer outright to Triple-A Memphis.
St. Louis has cleared four 40-man roster spots in the past 24 hours. After a decade in the minors Thurston got his first extended chance in the majors this season, starting 68 games for the Cardinals, but he hit just .225/.316/.330.
 Mark DeRosa-3B - Giants Jul. 1 - 5:45 pm et  

According to Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Mark DeRosa is "day-to-day" with a mild sprain of his left wrist.
DeRosa will be out for a few days, but is expected to avoid the disabled list. He tweaked his left wrist Tuesday during an at-bat and was seen wearing a brace Wednesday afternoon. Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa said there is "reason for optimism." Look for Joe Thurston to fill in while he's sidelined.

 Mark DeRosa-3B - Giants Jul. 1 - 12:59 am et  

Mark DeRosa will be reexamined Wednesday after tweaking his left wrist during Tuesday's game.
"I took a swing there my second at-bat and felt a little tweak in my left wrist," DeRosa said. "I went in to hit off the tee after coming in from playing the field, and it just didn't feel right. I felt like I should come out of the game and get it looked at." The Cards will probably go back to Joe Thurston at third on Wednesday.

 Khalil Greene-SS - Rangers Jun. 19 - 10:49 pm et  

Khalil Greene left Friday's game with a bruised foot.
Greene was just activated from the disabled list Friday for anxiety issues and was struck down by a line drive to his foot in the fifth inning. It was unfortunate as Greene was having a big game with a double, home run and a walk before leaving the game. He was replaced by Joe Thurston.
