After the game tonight, outfielder Elijah Dukes and right-handed pitcher Jorge Sosa were called up from Triple-A Syracuse.
Dukes, who was demoted in June, was hitting .288 with three homers and 10 RBI in 19 games for the Chiefs. He walked nine times and stole five bases while only striking out eight times.
Sosa was 1-2 with a 2.79 ERA with three saves in 20 games, four starts, for Syracuse. He struck out 53 and walked in 13 in 48 1/3 innings.
In seven big league seasons, with four different teams, Sosa is 40-49 with a 4.67 ERA.

From Chico Harlan......
Interim manager Jim Riggleman said of Dukes, “He’s gonna be in there. Every day? Well, we’ve got a lot of good players there… But he’s predominantly going to be in there.”
Said acting GM Mike Rizzo: “We’re looking to see what we’re gonna be doing in the future — who belongs, who’s a keeper, who’s gonna be part of the future of the organization.”
On Sosa:
“He’s thrown the ball the best of the staff right now [in Syracuse],” Rizzo said, “and he was by far the manager’s and the pitching coach’s choice to be called.”
We couldn't buy a AA pitcher for $2 million? Really?
