>>Cardinals Draft Sons Of Two Coaches

(New York, NY)  --  The Cardinals have drafted the sons of two members of the coaching staff.  They took manager Mike Matheny's son, outfielder Tate Matheny, in the 23rd round of the draft.  Later, they selected third base coach Jose Oquendo's son, shortstop Eduardo Oquendo, in the 32nd round.

>>Cubs Call Up Corpas

(Milwaukee, WI)  --  The Chicago Cubs selected the contract of pitcher Manny Corpas from Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday.  Corpas, who signed as a free agent with Chicago last December, hasn't pitched in the majors since August 2010, when he suffered an elbow injury which required Tommy John Surgery.  Two years ago for Colorado, he finished 3-and-5 with a 4.62 earned run average and 10 saves in 56 appearances.  To make room on the roster, the Cubs placed pitcher Blake Parker on the 60-day disabled list retroactive to June 2nd with an elbow injury.  Parker had not allowed a run in four-and-a-third innings with the Cubs this season.
