Second baseman Freddy Sanchez, who acknowledged feeling more right shoulder discomfort late in the game Wednesday, made it through only five innings last night before manager John Russell replaced him with Luis Rivas for defensive purposes.



Sanchez -- somewhat stiff from the cold, according to Russell -- was throwing even more gingerly than usual, including a glaring lollipop on a close play at first in the third inning.



Sanchez reported feeling "completely fine" in the afternoon, but Russell made clear at the same time that he would be cautious.



"We want to make sure the shoulder doesn't get irritated again," Russell said. "We don't expect any of our guys to play 162 games, and there's a chance we'll give Freddy a day off."

I was listening to the game while I had my daughter at her soccer practice and if memory serves, Sanchez made a diving play to steal a base hit from one of the Braves. I do not know if it was the glove side or the throwing side, but I said to myself right then I bet he did not finish the game after that play and getting stiff in the dugout between innings. Wanna bet he gets the night off tonight?
