PRO BASEBALL . . . Stanford grad Jeremy Guthrie made it back to the major leagues - for a day. The right-hander, who made his major league debut last August, was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday when the Indians placed left-hander Arthur Rhodes on the 15-day disabled list with right knee inflammation. The 26-year-old Guthrie was then sent back to Buffalo after pitching six innings of relief in Saturday's loss to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Guthrie is 10-9 with a 5.20 ERA in 22 starts at Buffalo. The Indians' first-round draft pick in 2002, he recorded a 4.63 ERA in six games in relief in his brief stint last year. Guthrie was 26-6 with a 2.65 in his two years at Stanford. Meanwhile, Stanford grad John Gall's short stay with the St. Louis Cardinals ended when he was sent back to Memphis last week. Gall hit .222 with a pair of doubles and drove in two runs in nine games for the Cardinals. Stanford grad Mike Gosling was also sent back to the minors last week. He was 0-3 with a 4.45 ERA in 13 games with the Arizona Diamondbacks. "Earlier in the year I felt like maybe I was pitching to get called up," he told mlb.com. "Now we're so close to the end of the Minor League season that I know I'm pretty much down there for the remainder of the Triple-A season. It's just pitch to get better and hopefully when the time does come I'll get the chance back up here again." Jody Gerut was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Thursday by the Pittsburgh Pirates with a right knee injury.
