The Biscuits created roster space for Tony Peguero by putting pitcher Jon Barratt on the disabled list.
Not sure if what ails Barratt. The move has yet to be officially announced, but Montgomery's roster has been changed on various Web sites.
Barratt did have his best start of the season Wednesday, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over 6 2/3 innings to win at Birmingham.

B.J. has bragging rights on brother Justin
Former Biscuit B.J. Upton does have a little verbal ammo to tease brother Justin with ... four days' worth.
Justin was promoted from Class AA Mobile today, less than two months after debuting with the BayBears, to the Arizona Diamondbacks. He was 0-for-1 today in his major-league debut.
Justin is 19 years, 342 days old as of today -- Aug. 2.
B.J. was 19 years, 338 days old when he made his major-league debut Aug. 2, 2004. He was 1-for-3 with a walk.
That's eerie.
Of course, Justin was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 draft and B.J. had to wait until second in 2002, so Justin has him there.

Dukes in trouble for violating court order
Elijah Dukes faces a misdemeanor charge for violating a restraining order that barred him from contact with his estranged wife and children. If convicted, Dukes faces a maximum penalty of a year in jail.

Here's the latest sign that Dukes probably isn't in Tampa Bay's long-term plans. The Trib's Marc Lancaster pointed out that newly added reliever Dan Wheeler requested and received No. 35 -- Dukes' old number -- when he arrived.

Peguero assigned to Biscuits
Pitcher Tony Peguero, a part of last year's championship team, appears headed back to the Biscuits.
Peguero, who is 2-4 with a 7.35 ERA at Class AAA Durham, has been assigned to Montgomery, according to the Durham Herald-Sun.
The Biscuits, after adding infielders Aaron Sisk and Rhyne Hughes, don't have an open roster spot.
The story also mentions that Mike Prochaska has been assigned to Hudson Valley, which is only a paper move.
The Rays have some juggling to do with Durham's Jeff Niemann and Tampa Bay's Jason Hammel leaving games early with shoulder tightness. Niemann will miss a start, though Hammel expects to stay on schedule.
