Roster Moves

There have been a few Oklahoma City roster moves the last couple of days.

C Chris Wallace assigned from Extended Spring Training to Oklahoma City
RHP John Ely placed on the 7-day DL
2B Jose Martinez placed on the 7-day DL
RHP Lance Day assigned to Oklahoma City (has been at Extended Spring Training)

Lance Day is a non-drafted free agent who signed last year with the Astros and had good results in his time at Tri-City. I am assuming that this is a temporary move while John Ely is on the DL. Even as a temporary move, it's a win/win situation. By bringing Day from Extended rather than moving in one of the established starters from another level, it limits the disruption to rosters (rather than moving players up and down in a short amount of time) and gives Day the experience and the opportunity to show what he may be able to do at a higher level.
