Brignac leaves Durham game, but not going anywhere

JULY 25, 2009

UPDATE, 5:12: Confirmation from Rays farm director Mitch Lukevics, who is in Durham: "Tweaked his leg a bit when he swung. Came out of the game as a precaution. Will be in Game 2.''

UPDATE, 4:12: Ben Badler of Baseball America tweets that according to Durham manager Charlie Montoyo, Brignac was taken out of the game because his right leg was bother him and will play the second game of the day-night DH.

NEWS: SS Reid Brignac, who could be a candidate for a promotion or part of a trade, was pulled from Triple-A Durham's game after two innings Saturday.

He isn't injured from what we're hearing, but it also doesn't have anything to do with a trade or a callup. More later, if there is.
