Notes, Minor Moves

LHP Paul Maholm (4-8, 3.21) will go against Toronto's RHP Brandon Morrow (3-4, 4.90). The game starts at 7:07 PM and will be broadcast on Root Sports.

The lineup: Alex Presley LF, Chase d'Arnaud 3B, Garrett Jones DH, Andrew McCutchen CF, Neil Walker 2B, Lyle Overbay 1B, Xavier Paul RF, Ronny Cedeno SS, Eric Fryer C, Paul Maholm P.

Presley and d'Arnaud are at the top of the order, Fryer the bottom, and the X-Man is getting some time, too. We'll say this for Clint Hurdle: except for a certain Dominican SS, he gets everybody some time.
