The move is strictly precautionary. Also, look for Kyle McClellan to be replaced shortly on the Mesa roster. He's taking time off to get married. Not sure who his replacement will be.

It mostly says what we'd expect -- Hill hits a lot of home runs, Derba is a good catcher who hit better than expected, Mortensen got off to a great start -- but it also throws in a few tidbits that surprised me: * Kozma played on artificial turf in high school, so he had to make an adjustment to real grass. * It lists Dan Descalso as Hill's equal in the "best pure hitter" category. It also mentioned Tony Cruz. * Adam Riefer (11th round pick) has the best fastball, topping out at 96. * BA calls Brett Zawacki (12th round) the best of a "deep group of sleepers" including Riportella (lots of positive comments about his speed), Hill, Dew, and Derba. Cruz isn't on this list, which seems like an oversight, given that he gets props for his bat earlier in the write-up. Or his name might've been edited out for space considerations in the print version of the story, which was picked up directly by the website. Or it could mean BA doesn't see much potential for upward advancement. BA posted the full reports for NL teams this morning.
