Richie Palacios Needs More Time To Build Up

Tampa Bay Rays infielder/outfielder Richie Palacios (finger), who is rehabbing from a fractured right ring finger, is still waiting for his full grip strength to return.

Phillies Looking To Get Edmundo Sosa More Playing Time

Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson sounds inclined to find more at-bats for infielder Edmundo Sosa, even when the team isn't facing a left-handed starter.
