A judge in Dayton, OH waives a 30-day jail sentence which had been given to former minor league pitcher Julio Castillo for throwing a baseball into the stands and injuring a fan during an on-field brawl at a Dayton Dragons game in 2008. While he avoids prison time, Castillo’s prospects in organized baseball are now dim, as his conviction for assault still stands and he is ordered to leave the United States and stay away for three years.

The Orioles place closer Mike Gonzalez on the disabled list, retroactive to April 10th, after he struggled to an 0-2 record with an ERA of 18.00 in the season’s first week. Also going on the DL are Angels closer Brian Fuentes, who has a strained back he injured while lifting weights, and Arizona catcher Miguel Montero, who needs to undergo surgery for a torn meniscus in his right knee, injured while attempting to avoid a tag from Pittsburgh’s Zach Duke four days ago. But the biggest blow of all is to the Phillies, who place starting shortstop Jimmy Rollins on the list with a calf injury.
