Maybin to miss Southern League All-Star Game

Asheville native Cameron Maybin will not play in the Southern League All-Star Game, Carolina Mudcats' manager Matt Raleigh said on Sunday. Maybin, the 'Cats starting center fielder, suffered a back injury while swinging during Thursday night's game in Jacksonville and has not played since.

"We're going to hold off on him until right after the All-Star break," Raleigh said of Maybin.

Maybin, a key part of the trade that sent former Mudcats Miguel Caberra and Dontrelle Willis to the Tigers during the off-season, was one of six Mudcats named to the Northern Division roster for next Monday's Southern League All-Star Game. The game will be played at Five County Stadium in Zebulon.
