According to Chad Jennings, Jonathan Albaladejo and Chris Britton have been called up. He said there has been no word on any corresponding moves. More updates as they come.
In 8 games Britton is 2-1 with a 2.45 ERA at AAA Scranton-Wilkes Barre. Allowing just 3 runs on 11 hits and 4 walks while striking out 10 in 11 innings of work.
Albaladejo has also been very good at SWB, in 7 IP he's allowed just 2 runs (1.29 ERA) on 5 hits and 4 walks. In 5.2 innings in the majors this year he's 0-0 with a 3.18 ERA with 1 BB and 7 strikeouts.
Edwar Ramirez is probably sitting somewhere in Scranton wondering how much better he has to do to get another shot. In 9 innings this year in AAA he's allowed no runs, 2 hits and a walk while striking out 13. You can't pitch much better than that.
UPDATE: According to Peter Abraham, Brian Bruney has a torn ligament in his foot that will require surgery and is likely out for the season. What a shame, he's been very good so far and now is lost for the year. If you read this article from Tyler Kepner you know just how bad the last few days have been for him.

Damn, he looked pretty good so far, tough loss. It didn't look that bad when it happened. I must have slipped like that 20 times in my life, never got injured that bad. I think Britton will do alright, I'm not sure about Albaladejo. Could Bruney possibly make it back in September( Hopefully October too)?
It's weird what happens with pitchers. I was just talking about the same thing with a friend of mine.
The report said "likely out for the season" so I guess there is a chance he could make it back. I guess it all depends on how quickly he can heal, and then regain strength in his legs.
This blows. Bruney has been great so far, and he's worked so hard to get into great shape and this is how the gods repay him? Not fair, not fair at all.
Yea, it really does seem unfair.
