LHP Tom Gorzelanny (lower back tightness) left the April 30 game as a precaution. He had his next start pushed back from May 6 to May 10 and returned to beat Atlanta.
SS Jack Wilson (strained left calf) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 4. He had a setback in extended spring training May 2. He resumed designated hitter duties at extended spring training but hadn't played in the field as of May 11. There is no firm timetable for his return.
OF Chris Duffy (left shoulder surgery in August 2007) opened the season on the 15-day disabled list. He was still unable to play in the field during extended spring training games in late April.
