A few days after the Biscuits had the first member of their 2009 team make his major-league debut, a player from the 2010 squad has been promoted to the major leagues.
The Rays called up catcher Jose Lobaton after regular catcher Dioner Navarro drew a two-game suspension.
Lobaton, who made his major-league debut last year with the Padres (at second base), will be the 42nd full-fledged Biscuit alum to rise to the majors when he plays in a game. The Rays host Oakland for two games starting tonight and Kansas City for four Thursday-Sunday.
All three catchers who were with the Biscuits for Tuesday night's game are present and accounted for before today's bright and early 10:35 a.m. game. Tardy lineups ...

All three catchers?? Only two on the roster. Which one can we (the Bulls) have??
3 meaning Paxton?
Two on roster, but three in uniform. I'm not sure they'll send you one because I'm confident Lobaton will be back by the end of the work week.
We can't count Lobaton going from the Biscuits to the majors unless he gets into a game, right?
Correct. ("will be the 42nd full-fledged Biscuit alum to rise to the majors ***when he plays in a game***.")
