Jason Beck from MLB.com has just reported that reliever Ryan Perry has been sent down to AAA Toledo to iron out some issues with his command. This season Perry is 0-1 with a 4.28 ERA. He has allowed 24 hits over 27 1/3 innings with 21 walks and 25 strikeouts.

I am actually quite pleased with the move as you could see velocity, command, and his confidence slipping away. I have no doubts that he will be back soon with a vengeance.

Although a call-up has yet to be made, several names have been thrown around. Listed below are a few names and their statistics thus far:

RHP FREDDY DOLSI 2-2 | 4.35 ERA | 19 strikeouts in 31 innings

RHP CASEY FIEN 2-1 | 4.94 ERA | 31  strikeouts in 31 innings

Toledo also has two solid lefties, as both right handed options in Toledo are not very appealing to me.

LHP FU-TE NI 2-0  | 2.79 ERA  | 28 strikeouts in 29 innings

LHP CLAY RAPADA 1-1 | 1.99 ERA | 21 strikeouts in 22 2/3 innings

While it would be risky to call up another member of the 2008 draft class, you have to wonder if Cody Satterwhite is on their radar. As I mentioned yesterday, he has been holding down the closer role well in AA Erie and could provide a similar Perry type role. While he is 2-4 with a 2.83 ERA in 28 2/3 innings, he also has managed to strike out 33 batters. He has a 1.84 ERA his last 10 games (14 2/3 innings).
