Shoppach could be out through All-Star game

John Jaso could stay in the majors longer than first though because Kelly Shoppach's injury is worse than first thought.

Shoppach faces potential surgery and the recovery may keep him out through the All-Star break, according to the beat writers covering the major-league team.

Also, put Jose Veras back on the list. He cleared waivers and the Marlins sent him to Triple-A New Orleans.

Had to cover a faux football game Saturday, so this news is, of course, late. Amazingly, and not in a good way, an announced crowd of 91,000-plus came out for said faux game.
