EDMONTON, AB - The Edmonton Trapper Baseball Club announced today that the Montreal Expos have recalled outfielder Matt Cepicky. Edmonton's roster currently stands at 21 players; 10 pitchers, two catchers, six infielders and three outfielders, plus three players (right-handed pitcher Jose Colon, left-handed pitcher Scott Downs and right-handed pitcher Bo Donaldson) on the disabled list and one player (right-handed pitcher Seung Song) on the temporary inactive list.
Cepicky, 25, was hitting .300 (88-for-293) with five home runs and 43 RBI in 81 games with the Trappers. Cepicky batted .277 (116-for-419) with 16 home runs and 76 RBI for Double-A Harrisburg in 2002.

He was originally drafted by Montreal in the fourth round of the 1999 draft.
In another roster move, the Trappers placed right-handed pitcher Seung Song on the temporary inactive list. Song, 23, was selected to participate in the fifth annual Futures Game at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago, Illinois.
