Phillies send Happ to the minors, call infielder Cervenak up

J.A. Happ, coming off the best start of his major league career, was sent to the minors today. It seemed like a curious move at first, but with the all-star break coming up, Happ wouldn't get another start until late July, so sending him to the minors will keep him on a regular pitching schedule. The Phillies will likely re-assess their starting rotation after the all-star break and call Happ back up, or bring Myers back if he's ready to return. Hopefully we see Happ again soon because he has proven he deserves a chance. more...
