• Today’s scheduled relievers: Clay Rapada, David Aardsma, Shawn Kelley, Mark Montgomery, Matt Daley and Francisco Rondon.

More Mark Montgomery! Also, Melky Mesa has withdrawn from the WBC to try and take advantage of the open outfield spot instead of competing for Team Dominican Republic. After two home runs in two days, you might understand why he thinks he has a chance.
