From Marc:
Cody Ross' eternal rehab assignment is over. He was activated from the DL today and Mike Burns was optioned back to Louisville.Guess it is a bit intriguing that they're going down to 11 pitchers, but that might only last a couple of days, pending Mercker's expected return Friday.
I'm a big fan of going to 11 pitchers, but I'm also a big fan of cutting Quinton McCracken so I'm torn. Either way is good with me though.
