Some roster moves:
- C Jeff Farnham was sent down to Double-A Trenton according to John Sadak. The move clears room on the roster for C J.R. Murphy, who was promoted yesterday.
- LHP Cesar Cabral was removed from the Double-A Trenton roster and was assigned to … somewhere. Not sure. Mike Ashmore has the news. Cabral’s 30-day rehab window expires tomorrow, and I’m guessing they’ll try to slide him through waivers.
- RHP Corey Black was promoted to Double-A Trenton, according to Ashmore. It might only be a temporary thing, however.
- 1B Bubba Jones will be with Short Season State Island when the season starts on Monday, according to his Twitter feed.
