Prior to tonight's start in Portland, the Thunder activated Manny Banuelos and catcher Myron Leslie from the Temporarily Inactive List and placed outfielder Damon Sublett and left-handed reliever Wilkins Arias on the Disabled List.

Banuelos was in Mexico to be with his sick grandmother. The reason for Leslie's TIE was unknown, but it could just have been a paper move with a backup catcher really not necessary over the first few games.

Sublett hasn't played at all this season, and Arias appeared in two games.
