Steve Johnson is here. He found out about his promotion while heading out the door following Triple-A Norfolk’s game last night. He was called into manager Ron Johnson’s office and given the news.

Update: Jason Hammel will undergo surgery tomorrow at Johns Hopkins Hospital to remove a piece of loose cartilage from his right know. Doctors have told Hammel he could return in three to four weeks, though his recovery might take longer.
