MLB.com: Milledge placed on disabled list

Lastings Milledge was placed on the 15-day disabled list during Saturday night’s game against the Orioles after injuring his right groin while sliding to the ground, trying reach an Alex Cintron triple that rolled all the way to the left-center-field wall.
...
The Nationals called up outfielder Roger Bernadina from Double-A Harrisburg to take Milledge’s place on the roster.
...
Coming into action on Saturday, the 24-year-old Bernadina was hitting .325 with five home runs and 38 RBIs at Harrisburg. In addition to hitting 11 doubles and seven triples, Bernadina also displayed speed on the basepaths, stealing 26 bases. His speed and defensive play led Baseball America to rate him Washington’s best defensive outfielder and fastest baserunner in the Minor Leagues.
...
Milledge’s injury means that Christian Guzman is the only Opening Day starter not to spend time on the DL.

“It’s tough for the team,” Milledge said. “It’s another starter that goes down. It’s kind of tough right now, the situation that we’re in.”

LOL. What were the odds of THAT happening? Next to Nick Johnson, Guzman would seem to be the most likely DL candidate on that lineup.

C: LoDuca
1B: Johnson
2B: Belliard
3B: Zimmerman
SS: Guzman
LF: Dukes
CF: Milledge
RF: Kearns

Also, it's "Cristian," not "Christian."

Washington: the place where former prospects (Wily Mo Pena: 42 OPS+; Milledge 80; Austin Kearns 51; Ryan Zimmerman 88) go to die.

So they've all been either injured or misspelled.

And I love the name Rogearvin. It's like his parents couldn't decide whether to name him after Grandpa Roger or Grandpa Arvin so they tossed a coin and it landed on its edge.

...injuring his right groin...

That's okay, I'm sure his other groin is just fine.

Met corner outfielders are cursed this season even if they aren't on the team.

Kevin McReynolds should get his brakes checked.
