More on Teagarden

None of this can be found on an official press release, even though the media covering the Rangers have talked to the involved parties.

Taylor Teagarden is up, and Kameron Loe has been sent down.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia is not going on the disabled list. He said he spent Wednesday in a Florida hospital with a stomach virus that caused dehydration and other, less pleasant things. He took early batting practice today, but said he was out of breath after his third swing. He will be evaluated against Sunday. He said he wanted to play tonight.

The deadline for players to be on the Team USA roster is Tuesday. Saltalamacchia should be back by then, which would allow Teagarden to go back to the minors and head to Beijing.

A move to get Hank Blalock on the roster is coming today as well.
