Aaron Harang had an emergency appendectomy last night. He is expected to recover OK, but it is season-ending surgery.

I guess the Reds won’t be trading Harang this season after all. Hopefully he’s healthy again soon and back to form for 2010.

In other news, Scott Rolen returns to the line-up today after a few days with the AAA Louisville Bats. Brandon Phillips returned to the lineup yesterday upon recovering from being hit in the wrist.

Willy Taveras remains on the DL.
