You're finally in the majors. You're anointed as a fixture in the lineup for the next decade. Then, with a rude whoosh, the rugs gets yanked out from under you. Mat Gamel should be the Milwaukee Brewers' third baseman right now. Instead, up crops a tear in his throwing shoulder, a pretty jarring speed bump on his career path. "Sucks," said Gamel, "to put in a word. It's awful. But it happened. Now we've got to battle through it and get back to where we need to be, to achieve the ultimate goal." The prescription: Rest and rehab. The latter, Gamel is pursuing while back in the familiar threads of the Huntsville Stars. Arguably the league's most dangerous hitter in 2008 while with the Stars, Gamel will spend an indefinite period of time in Huntsville. Gamel batted .329 with 19 homers and a league-leading 96 RBIs in 127 games in 2008. He was a Southern League All-Star and Topps named him its Minor League Player of the Year. He made his major league debut that September, then split last season between Triple-A Nashville and Milwaukee. Gamel wasn't the only familiar face back in a Stars uniform. Outfielder Drew Anderson was sent down from Nashville, and pitcher Casey Baron has gone on the disabled list. Pitcher Josh Butler, who was with the Stars last season, is also here on a rehab assignment. "All is well," Gamel said Wednesday night as rain pelted Joe Davis Stadium and washed out the series opener against Birmingham. "Basically I'm trying to get at-bats and trying to get back to where I need to be." The injury was "kind of a freak thing" with no one traumatic moment that caused it. It was more wear-and-tear than anything, he said. But there is no pain in his throwing now and no set-backs. Nor is there any mental obstacle, no worrying about the what-ifs. "You can't worry about it," he said. "You can't come out playing, hoping not to get hurt. You've just got to go. The tentativeness, you take care of that while you're (in extended spring training in Arizona) doing rehab." Since injury is an intrinsic part of sports, there's no shortage of members in a support group, and Gamel said "plenty of guys have talked to me, helped me stay positive through it all." He was in Arizona with veteran pitchers David Riske and Chris Capuano, both of whom were rehabbing from elbow injuries. "Talking to those guys, them coming off injuries, they're able to stay positive, who why can't I?" Gamel said. "Just picking their brain, having those guys keep you a little sane, it helps out too, knowing you're not going through this alone. "I'm just trying to take it day by day and get back to playing."

Manatees swept by Cubs, losing streak at seven By Frank Longobardo / Brevard County Manatees VIERA - The Brevard County Manatees lost Wednesday night's series finale with the Daytona Cubs 9-3 at Space Coast Stadium. Offensively, the Manatees collected just six hits and grounded into three double plays. Brevard County pitching allowed seven extra base hits, while the defense committed three errors. After Daytona's Rebel Ridling drew a lead-off walk to start the second, Kyler Burke hit his fourth home run of the season to give the Cubs a 2-0 lead. The bottom of the third saw the Manatees cut the lead in half, thanks to an Erik Komatsu single that saw Josh Prince score on an error by Jose Valdez. Manatees starter Wily Peralta would allow one more run on the night in the fifth inning as he finished the evening allowing three runs on four hits, while walking four and striking out five Daytona hitters. Brevard County would cut Daytona's lead to one again in the bottom of the inning on a two-out RBI single by Sergio Miranda that scored Matt Cline. Daytona scored via the long ball again in the top of the seventh. Following a lead-off ground-rule double by Luis Flores off of Daniel Meadows, Brett Jackson crushed the first pitch he saw over the right field wall to give the Cubs a 5-2 lead. Brandon Ritchie relieved Meadows in the eighth and did not fare much better as he allowed one run in the eighth and three in the ninth. The Manatees will look to end a seven-game losing streak beginning on Thursday night at 7:05 PM (6:05 Central), as they open up a four-game series in Viera against the Fort Myers Miracle. For fans who can't make it out to Space Coast Stadium for the game, Stephen C. Smith of SpaceCoastBaseball.com will be calling the action via webcast. Manatees starter Wily Peralta went five innings and allowed three runs, all earned on four hits. He also walked four and struck out five, but got the loss as Brevard County fell 9-3 on Wednesday night at Space Coast Stadium. It was the Manatees seventh straight defeat.

One would hope that both Taylor Green and Steffan Wilson might be close to coming back, which would fill the two vacant roster spots in Huntsville.

Huntsville Press Release: OF Scott Krieger and INF Juan Sanchez have been transferred from Huntsville to Brevard County, the Brewers Single-A affiliate. Krieger and Sanchez were transferred to Huntsville from rookie-level Helena and Brevard County respectively back on May 10. In eight games with the Stars, Krieger batted .176 (3-for-17) with one RBI. Sanchez was .050 (1-for-20) in 11 games for Huntsville. There are no corresponding roster moves to fill these two vacancies on the Stars roster at this time. With these moves, the Stars active roster sits at 22, two below the Southern League limit of 24.

Outfielder Drew Anderson was transferred from Nashville to Huntsville on the Stars' off-day Tuesday. It appears the Stars will need to open up a spot on Wednesday to accommodate Anderson's addition.

Daytona Delivers in the Clutch With 5-3 Win Daytona Cubs' Site Report The Daytona Cubs (21-25) knocked off the Brevard County Manatees (16-29) 5-3. Brooks Raley (2-3) delivered six quality innings in lieu for his second win in as many tries. Kyler Burke drove in three with his third home run. The Cubs win streak has hit four games which is a season high in 2010. Brevard County struck first against Cubs starter Brooks Raley. Center fielder Kentrail Davis led off the game with a triple to the gap in right-center. Raley got the next two batters, but gave up a single to second baseman Sergio Miranda to give the Manatees a 1-0 advantage. Daytona took the lead in the third inning thanks to a blast off the bat of Kyler Burke. Second baseman D.J. LeMahieu reached with a one-out walk off of Josh Butler who made a major league rehab start for Brevard County. LeMahieu was the last batter Butler faced before Michael Fiers came in. The righty gave up a single to third baseman Ryan Flaherty to set the table for Burke. With a stiff wind blowing in from right, Burke crushed a Fiers offering over the right field wall just inside the foul pole to give Daytona a 3-1 lead. The Cubs made it 5-1 in the fourth inning on a triple by LeMahieu. Catcher Michael Brenly singled to right field and center fielder Brett Jackson walked to put two on with two outs for LeMahieu. The LSU-product rifled a ball to straight-away center field for his third triple of the season that scored Brenly and Jackson. The Manatees closed the gap to three with a run in the top of the fifth inning. Davis was hit by a Raley offering to start off the inning. Shortstop Josh Prince singled up the middle to put runners on the corners. Davis came home on a ground ball off the bat of right fielder Erik Komatsu that resulted in a Junior Lake error. The Manatees struck with a single tally in the eighth inning on a wild pitch from Aaron Shafer. Shafer struck out Brock Kjeldgaard with the bases loaded, but the delivery was off target and Mat Gamel scored to bring the Manatees within 5-3. Shafer ended up pitching three innings including a perfect ninth inning to record his second save in 2010. Raley worked a career-high six innings against the Manatees. The lefty struck out three on the night and gave up just five hits with the two runs. Fiers (2-5) took the loss. The Cubs and Manatees wrap up their series down at Space Coast Stadium on Wednesday evening at 7:05 PM (6:05 Central).
