Huff Placed on Disabled list

San Francisco has placed 1B Aubrey Huff on the 15-day disabled list with anxiety after he left the team to deal with family issues and announced that he expects to discuss those issues when he returns this weekend.  He is currently going through a divorce and has struggled both offensively and defensively this season, though the nature of his anxiety problems remain a mystery.  Several other Major Leaguers such as Cincinnati 1B Joey Votto, Milwaukee RHP Zach Greinke (then a member of Kansas City), and former Major League LHP Justin Duchscherer (then a member of Oakland) have been placed on the disabled list in recent seasons due to anxiety problems.

Greinke, Milwaukee on hold over Extension Talks

Milwaukee and RHP Zach Greinke have tabled discussions regarding a potential extension for the pitcher.  The 28-year-old is in the final year of the four-year, $38 million extension he signed with Kansas City in 2009 before being dealt to Milwaukee in December 2010.  Greinke went 16-6 with a 3.83 ERA last season and threw seven shutout innings against division-rival St. Louis in his first start this season.
