--RF Brandon Moss did not start as manager John Russell wanted to give him a mental break after going hitless in 14 at bats. Moss pinch hit in the eighth inning and flied out, dropping his batting average to .174. He has yet to hit a home run this season and has just three RBIs in 27 games. INF/OF Eric Hinske started in right field and went 1-for-4 with a walk.
--2B Freddy Sanchez sat out for the second time in five days on Sunday but said it was unrelated to the slight hyperextension to the left shoulder he suffered while diving for a ball against Milwaukee last Tuesday. Sanchez said it was a planned day off. --INF/OF Delwyn Young got his third start in the last five games, playing second base and going 2-for-4 with a run scored and a walk. Young is 7-for-20 (.350) in 13 games since being acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers in a trade on April 15.
