"\"&lt;p&gt;This week&amp;rsquo;s installment considers all transactions reported by MLB between April 5 and 11. Last week&amp;rsquo;s transactions available &lt;a target=\\\"blank\\\" a=\\\"\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.baseballamerica.com\\/blog\\/prospects\\/?p=857\\\"&gt;here&lt;\\/a&gt;.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Arizona Diamondbacks&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Released: &lt;\\/strong&gt;OF Dave Krynzel&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Traded: &lt;\\/strong&gt;OF Daniel Perales to Reds for LHP Jon Coutlangus&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Recalled: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Jailen Peguero&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Optioned to Triple-A: &lt;\\/strong&gt;LHP Jon Coutlangus&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Nine pro seasons in and Krynzel, the Brewers&amp;#8217; first-round pick (11th overall) in 2000,  hasn&amp;#8217;t come close to establishing himself in the big leagues. He accrued just 48 career at-bats with Milwaukee before they were able to &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.baseballamerica.com\\/today\\/majors\\/trade-central\\/2006\\/262935.html\\\"&gt;package him with Doug Davis and Dana Eveland&lt;\\/a&gt; to get Johnny Estrada, Greg Aquino and Claudio Vargas from Arizona&amp;mdash;though it&amp;#8217;s not clear that that was entirely a good thing. Things aren&amp;#8217;t even that rosy on the minor league side, where Krynzel, 26, owns .268\\/.346\\/.399 averages and 199 steals, but more strikeouts than you&amp;#8217;d like to see from a leadoff type.&lt;span id=\\\"more-35675\\\"&gt;&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Atlanta Braves&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Signed: &lt;\\/strong&gt;C Sal Fasano&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Placed on restricted list: &lt;\\/strong&gt;OF Jordan Schafer&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Recalled: &lt;\\/strong&gt;LHP Jo-Jo Reyes&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Added to 40-man roster: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Jorge Campillo&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Optioned to Triple-A: &lt;\\/strong&gt;LHP Chuck James, LHP Jo-Jo Reyes&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Placed on 7-day DL: &lt;\\/strong&gt;C Ray Serrano&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Reinstated from DL: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Matt DeSalvo&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The first player nabbed by the MLB&amp;#8217;s new, post-Mitchell Report department of investigations, Schafer is being &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.baseballamerica.com\\/blog\\/prospects\\/?p=869\\\"&gt;punished to the fullest extent&lt;\\/a&gt;. He&amp;#8217;ll sit for 50 games after being linked to HGH use. James got bombed for six runs in three inning in his lone big league start, prompting the Braves to give Reyes and Campillo a try. It should be noted that the 29-year-old, Mexican-born Campillo had a fine season in the Pacific Coast League last year, going 9-6, 3.07 with 99-39 K-BB in 149 innings for Tacoma. He initially signed with the Braves back in 1996, but spent every season from &amp;#8217;97 to &amp;#8217;04 in the Mexican League. The Mariners employed him for the three seasons prior to this one, with Campillo returning to Atlanta on a minor league deal.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Baltimore Orioles&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Placed on suspended list: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Roberto Novoa&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Placed on 7-day DL: &lt;\\/strong&gt;C Jordan Wolf, SS Michael Garciaparra, OF Paul Winterling&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Boston Red Sox&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Released: &lt;\\/strong&gt;OF Rich Thompson&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Traded: &lt;\\/strong&gt;SS Christian Lara to Dodgers for RHP Eric Hull&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Placed on restricted list: &lt;\\/strong&gt;C Hayato Doue&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Added to 40-man roster: &lt;\\/strong&gt;SS Jed Lowrie&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Optioned to Triple-A: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Eric Hull&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Placed on 7-day DL: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Austin Bailey, RHP Bartolo Colon&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Placed on temporarily inactive list: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Eric Hull&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Rehab assignment: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Mike Timlin (Triple-A Pawtucket)&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Lowrie turns 24 this Thursday, but he may end up spending his birthday on the bench. Called up from Pawtucket when Mike Lowell was placed on the DL, Lowrie has yet to see game action, as Red Sox have thus far gone with Kevin Youkilis at third base and Sean Casey at first. Lowrie, who was off to a .160\\/.344\\/.280 start in Triple-A, has spent most of his time at shortstop in the minors but has sprinkled in a few games at second and third. He switch-hits and he cracked 47 doubles last season, fourth most in the minors, so sooner or later he&amp;#8217;ll get a chance. It might happen at short, &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.baseball-reference.com\\/l\\/lugoju01.shtml\\\"&gt;if this keeps up&lt;\\/a&gt;.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chicago Cubs&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Released: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Yusdel Tuero, C J.D.

What does Raburn have to do to secure a job with the Tigers? He hit .304\\/.340\\/.507 as a part-timer last year, but unfortunately for him, he can&amp;#8217;t pitch. The Tigers&amp;#8217; revolving-door bullpen saw the additions of Rapada and Beltran last week, and the dismissals of Yorman Bazardo and Raburn.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Florida Marlins&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Added to 40-man roster: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Burke Badenhop&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Optioned to Triple-A: &lt;\\/strong&gt;C Paul Hoover, OF Brett Carroll&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Optioned to Double-A: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Rick VandenHurk&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Outrighted off 40-man roster: &lt;\\/strong&gt;1B Jason Wood&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Placed on 7-day DL: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Hector Correa, LHP Jay Voss, LHP Sean West&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Correa is out with a tooth infection, while West missed his first start with a &lt;a href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.palmbeachpost.com\\/marlins\\/content\\/sports\\/epaper\\/2008\\/04\\/11\\/a8c_fslnotes_0411.html\\\"&gt;blister on his finger&lt;\\/a&gt;.

Hopf&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Reinstated from DL: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Richie Gardner, RHP Travis Wendte&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Reinstated from inactive list: &lt;\\/strong&gt;C Angel Salome&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Rehab assignment: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Yovani Gallardo (Triple-A Nashville)&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Salome is back from a 50-game suspension for failing a drug test. A career .323 hitter in the minors, Iribarren got into two games over the weekend as a pinch-hitter, going 1-for-2. He came up as a second baseman, but he played exclusively left and center field for Nashville, as the Brewers begin grooming him as a big league extra.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Minnesota Twins&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Released: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Aaron Craig&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Traded: &lt;\\/strong&gt;OF Doug Deeds to Cubs for future considerations&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Recalled: &lt;\\/strong&gt;OF Denard Span&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Reinstated from DL: &lt;\\/strong&gt;OF Doug Deeds&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Option transferred: &lt;\\/strong&gt;LHP Francisco Liriano (high Class A Fort Myers to Triple-A Rochester)&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New York Mets&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Signed: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Claudio Vargas, SS Matt Smith&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Recalled: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Carlos Muniz&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Placed on 7-day DL: &lt;\\/strong&gt;OF Joe Holden&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Rehab assignment: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Duaner Sanchez (high Class A St. Lucie)&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Vargas, 29, is a typical No. 5\\/6 starter. He&amp;#8217;ll give you innings while giving up his share of hits, walks and home runs (career 1.46 WHIP), but he&amp;#8217;ll tantalize in others with mid-90s heat and an average strikeout rate (6.4 per nine). The next out Vargas records in the major leagues will raise his odometer over 666.666, where it currently resides. He may get that chance if Mike Pelfrey or Nelson Figueroa can&amp;#8217;t sustain.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New York Yankees&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Recalled: &lt;\\/strong&gt;SS Alberto Gonzalez&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Optioned to Triple-A: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Jonathan Albaladejo, 1B Shelley Duncan&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Placed on 7-day DL: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Alan Horne, SS Eduardo Nunez&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Rehab assignment: &lt;\\/strong&gt;LHP Sean Henn (high Class A Tampa)&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Gonzalez is off to a great start filling in for an injured Derek Jeter, as he&amp;#8217;s 4-for-his-first-11 with a pair of doubles. No team could carry both Duncan and Morgan Ensberg, a pair of righthanded-hitting first baseman types, but it was perhaps a bit surprising that the Yankees went with the latter. Duncan has smacked four doubles and three homers in 18 at-bats (1.167 slugging) since heading back to Scranton. Horne left his Thursday start after two innings and 38 pitches with what may be a tendon issue or nerve problem in his right arm. MRI results were pending.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Oakland Athletics&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Placed on restricted list: &lt;\\/strong&gt;OF Chad Boyd&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Recalled: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Joey Devine&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Added to 40-man roster: &lt;\\/strong&gt;LHP Greg Smith&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Placed on 7-day DL: &lt;\\/strong&gt;OF Jeff Fiorentino, OF Richie Robnett&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Reinstated from DL: &lt;\\/strong&gt;OF Larry Cobb&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Option transferred: &lt;\\/strong&gt;OF Richie Robnett (high Class A Stockton to Triple-A Sacramento)&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Philadelphia Phillies&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Placed on 7-day DL: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Miguel Matos, LHP Jason Kershner&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Returned Rule 5 selection: &lt;\\/strong&gt;RHP Tim Lahey (to Twins)&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Lahey was on the Phillies&amp;#8217; roster, but he did not appear in a game.
