Baseball-Major League Baseball roundup

July 30 (The Sports Xchange) - The St. Louis Cardinals acquired right-handed pitcher Justin Masterson from the Cleveland Indians in exchange for outfielder James Ramsey, the teams announced Wednesday. Masterson is 4-6 with a 5.51 ERA in 98 innings for the Indians this season. He is currently sidelined with a knee injury but expected to return from the disabled list for the Indians on Friday. - - Detroit Tigers minor league pitcher Evan Reed was charged on Wednesday with sexually assaulting a woman at a Detroit hotel in March. Reed allegedly sexually assaulted an "incapacitated" woman in his hotel room on March 30 before ordering her to leave, a prosecutor said in announcing charges against the 28-year-old reliever. Reed's attorney, however, insists the 45-year-old woman consented to sex, according to the Detroit News. - - Houston Astros right-hander Josh Zeid will undergo season-ending surgery on his right foot next Wednesday. He is expected to be sidelined a minimum of three months. - - The Miami Marlins promoted infielder Ed Lucas, 32, from Triple-A New Orleans. The team sent down outfield Jake Marisnick, 23, to the same team to make roster room. Lucas, who spent the first nine-plus seasons of his pro career in the minors, played 51 games with the Marlins this year before being sent back down on July 19. - - The San Francisco Giants announced before the game that first baseman Brandon Belt, out since July 19 with a concussion, will travel with the team on its 10-game trip to New York, Milwaukee and Kansas City. Belt is expected to be activated off the disabled list sometime during the three-game series later this week against the New York Mets. (Editing by Frank Pingue)
