Sunday Quick Hits

Here's whats happening in baseball today:

- Justin Morneau returned to the lineup the day after breaking his nose. I advised yesterday to sit him but it looks like he's going to play through it.

- Mike Pelfrey was demoted to AAA after struggling at the major league level thus far. The Mets recalled star prospect outfielder Carlos Gomez but he should go back down once Orlando Hernandez comes off the DL soon.

- Rockies disgruntled and struggling pitcher Kim was swapped for equally as bad relief pitcher Julio of the Marlins.

- Sidney Ponson was released by the Twins leaving the 5th starter spot to one of the young players. They spot won't be needed until next saturday so keep your ears open. Early favorite is Kevin Slowey.
