Transaction Oracle— A Timely Look at Transactions as They Happen

Padres - DLed Woody
San Diego Padres - Placed P Woody Williams on the 15-day disabled list; recalled P Randy Williams.
This doesn’t look like a bad injury, so unless there’s a new diagnosis, Williams probably won’t be out too long. Darrell May gets the temporary rotation job and if there’s a park in which May can have success in, it’s PetCo; if he gets wailed for homers here, he might as well start looking towards coaching.
Randy Williams is kind of an odd callup at first glance, but the Padres don’t want Tim Stauffer to come up just for a start or two and outside of Brian Falkenborg, the Beaver bullpen has just been horrific (Williams’ 6.39 ERA is 2nd among their relievers). I don’t think it’s the best option, though - if you don’t want to call up Stauffer for a couple of weeks, I’d rather leave May where’s he’s been fairly adequate and bring up Chris Oxspring for a couple of starts.
Tim Stauffer will be up soon, anyway - the team’s rapidly losing patience with Tim Redding and a Peavy-Lawrence-Williams-Eaton-Stauffer rotation has to be coming soon.

1. alio intuito Posted: May 04, 2005 at 10:45 PM (#1311476)Same here, alio. Woody joins Ben Sheets, Jim Thome and, hopefully for not much longer, Lance Berkman on my DL.
Ditto. He and Mota went down so quickly, it sucked. However, not sure why you guys are complaining about Schilling or Berkman since they were on the DL to START the season :p.
Plus since we only have two DL spots, I've got to pray no one else goes down in the next two weeks.
F
I don't know. It sounds like the same injury that caused Williams to miss much of the 2002 season.

HEADLINE: Williams leaves in fifth inning
DATELINE: ST. LOUIS
BODY:
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Woody Williams, who been on the disabled list twice this year, left Friday night's start with two outs in the fifth inning with tightness in his back and rib cage.
Williams stood on the mound after walking Lance Berkman, the last hitter he faced, and waited for a visit from trainer Barry Weinberg. Williams was sidelined for six weeks both times he was on the DL because of a pulled muscle in his left side.
He has made five starts since coming off the disabled list on Aug. 29. He was first injured pitching against the Astros in his first start of the season on April 5 and he reinjured his side July 6 against the Dodgers.
