blair in chatham?

I just saw in the pitching probables that Kyle Blair is scheduled to start for Chatham on Tuesday at Y-D. Blair, a highly-touted freshman from San Diego, was on the Chatham roster in the spring but was removed just before the season began. He still isn't listed on the roster, but he's in the probables section.

If he's here to stay, he could make a big impact on Chatham's stretch run. It should also be a treat for those who get to see him. Blair was a fifth-round pick out of high school.

Update: The A's web site has confirmed the roster move. Blair replaces Jeff Lorick, who needs minor surgery, a procedure that's been planned for awhile. Here's the note about Blair: "Blair was part of the original 2008 roster assembled by John Schiffner in the fall. However, San Diego coach Rich Hill decided Blair needed arm rest after throwing almost 75 innings as a freshman for the Torreros. Significantly rested, Hill and Schiffner agreed Blair was ready to come to Cape Cod and will make his first A's start on Tuesday at Y-D. "
