*The Dodgers sent Kuo back to AAA yesterday for more seasoning. After being initially called up from Las Vegas in June, Kuo seemingly had worked out all of the control issues he had earlier in the season. However, in his last 7 appearances, Kuo had given up 9 earned runs on 15 hits, with 9 walks in 9.2 innings. Despite his struggles of late, Kuo's claim to fame is still his fastball - he's K'd 29 in 27.1 innings this year with the Dodgers. Manager Grady Little still has faith in Kuo, but stated that Kuo needs to work on cutting down the walks and start to challenge hitters with his 95 mph heater. "He doesn't get beat by people hitting him. He beats himself." - Manager Grady Little on Kuo
