Fort Wayne, IN - Infielder Brian Joynt will join the Fort Wayne Wizards infield today as outfielder Brad Chalk was placed on the disabled list, retroactive to Wednesday, May 21.

Chalk, the San Diego Padres second round selection out of Clemson University last year, last appeared in a game for the Wizards on May 17 against the South Bend Silver Hawks, the Midwest League affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Joynt is expected to be in uniform today when the Wizards host the Great Lakes Loons, the Midwest League affiliate of the Dodgers, at 4:00 PM in the second game of their four-game series.
