Diamondbacks activate Montero from DL

Baseball Betting Lines

06/12/2010 - Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Arizona Diamondbacks have reinstated catcher Miguel Montero from the 15-day disabled list.

The 26-year-old receiver was placed on the DL on April 11 with a right knee sprain and underwent surgery four days later to repair a partial meniscus tear in the same knee.

Montero finished a four-game minor league rehabilitation stint with Triple-A Reno on Friday, where he had five hits in 15 at-bats and knocked in two runs.

In four games in the major leagues this season, Montero is 6-for-12 with three RBI.

To make room for Montero's return, the team optioned John Hester to Reno. He was batting .188 with three RBI in 20 games for Arizona.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
