Chris Schwinden and Omar Quintanilla are on their way to New York, according to the team's beat reporters on Twitter.
6:54 pm: Mike Puma of the New York Post says Manny Acosta will be designated for assignment to make room for Quintanilla on the 40-man roster.
Michael Baron (May 28, 5:52 pm): Clearly, Justin Turner is headed for the disabled list. Terry Collins has said in the past he does not see Jordany Valdespin as a shortstop, and with Ronny Cedeno still hurting, there is no natural shortstop available on the active roster ' Quintanilla fits the bill and he has played well for Buffalo this season, committing just five errors in 192 chances.
As for Schwinden, it might be that Manny Acosta has finally reached the end of the line in the bullpen. Schwinden is already on the 40-man roster but Quintanilla is not. So presumably Schwinden would take Acosta's place in the bullpen and Quintanilla would take Acosta's spot on the 40-man roster.
An interesting development in the minor leagues has been the emergence of Elvin Ramirez at Triple-A Buffalo. He has been lights out since his promotion from Double-A Binghamton, allowing just five hits, one walk and 16 strikeouts in 12 2/3 innings. He was outstanding for the Bisons once again today, striking out the side in one inning of relief. He is not on the 40-man roster, and with the need for a natural shortstop right now, making two 40-man roster moves in one day might come at a significant cost. Nevertheless, I would expect Ramirez will be garnering some Major League consideration in the short-term.
