Benson released?

Doug Mathis just got pulled in the middle of his AAA outing. It is possible that he is being called up to the TX pen. If so, Kris Benson may have been released. Hopefully, there has not been an injury that merits sending someone from the staff to the DL. Mathis should be able to pitch better than Benson in a middle relief role due to his good control and sinker. The trick is not to let him go through a lineup more than once. It is also possible that Madrigal is being sent down so that the bullpen won't be 2 relievers short for Tuesday's game, given that both Benson and Mags went 2 or more innings.

Then again, Mathis could just have a blister...:)
