*Blake Davis makes another start at second base tonight after committing a costly error against the Pirates on Wednesday.  Manager Buck Showalter said he wants to give Davis another opportunity to succeed.

*Jake Arrieta (elbow inflammation) will throw a bullpen session today and Saturday.  Unless he experiences problems in those sessions, he will make his scheduled start Wednesday against the Cardinals.

*Brian Roberts (concussion-like symptoms) will get his wisdom teeth pulled
