Overnight Dispatches
Armando Benitez has shown no impovement in his athritic knees, according to the Contra Costa Times. He’s ben unavailable the past seven games due to the condition and is slated to have an MRI taken in the next couple of days. Mike Stanton will remain the Giants’ closer until Benitez can return.
Jose Valverde earned the save for the Diamondbacks on Sunday. It was his first save since May 24. Valverde was promoted back into the closer role a week ago.
Nook Logan hit his second career homer and tripled Sunday against the Rockies. Both hits came off lefties. The switch-hitting Logan has been far more productive against southpaws in his career, which is another reason why he should be platooning with Ryan Church in center field instead of playing regularly. The hits gave him his first three RBI in his 10 games for the Nats.
Johnny Estrada is back in the lineup for Sunday’s game after missing two days with a bruised right hand. He’s batting cleanup against the Cardinals.
