Optioned RHP Marcus Gwyn to Salt Lake (Triple-A); activated MI-S Erick Aybar from the 15-day DL. [8/6]

It's hard to see where Aybar will get playing time beyond the usual off-day fill-in assignments. Maicer Izturis' bat is heating up as he shakes off the rust, and Chone Figgins shouldn't come out of the lineup for any great stretch of time, not when he's rebounded from his coldest of cold starts to enjoy what might be his best season yet.
