Mets hurlers Putz, Perez suffer setbacks

Mets hurlers Putz, Perez suffer setbacks
Merely days after announcing they expected to activate setup man J.J. Putz next week in Colorado, the Mets received yet another unexpected dose of bad news. “I’m not optimistic that he’ll pitch again this season,” manager Jerry Manuel said, and later that day, his fears were confirmed. The Mets announced late Tuesday that an MRI revealed new fraying and a slight tear to the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow. Though Putz will not undergo an additional procedure, he will not pitch aga

Dodgers’ Kuroda steps up workouts
Ten days after taking a line drive off his head, disabled pitcher Hiroki Kuroda on Tuesday had his most strenuous workout since the injury and is scheduled for his first full bullpen session Wednesday. Kuroda, reporting that post-concussion syndrome symptoms of headaches and dizziness were diminishing, sprinted with fellow pitchers, shagged fly balls in the outfield and went through the pitching motion on the bullpen mound while holding a towel instead of a ball. On Sunday, Kuroda played l

Soriano scratched with sore knee
Alfonso Soriano was scratched from Tuesday’s game because of a sore knee that’s been nagging him for four months, but the Cubs left fielder will hold off on getting an MRI to see if he responds to treatment. Soriano was examined during Tuesday’s game, a 15-6 loss to the Washington Nationals, by the team’s medical staff. “[The doctor] thinks it’s nothing big,” Soriano said after the game. “He said if I keep playing, and I have a sore knee, we’ll do an MRI. I know I want to do it anyway, but

German Playdowns: Results August 22/23 and Final Standings
The playdowns in the German Baseball-Bundesliga ended last weekend, as the Gauting Indians and the Haar Disciples settled for a split in the south and the Pulheim Gophers swept their doubleheader against the Cologne Cardinals in the north.

Gauting and Pulheim now await their opponents for the relegation series, which will take place later this year. Results August 22/23: North: Pulheim Gopher

Saunders hopes rest pays off
Over the last few years, starting pitching has been one of the main reasons the Angels have been so competitive in the American League West. After all, from 2006 to 2008, the Angels’ starting pitchers ranked second in both the American League and the Majors with an averaged ERA of 4.17. And that was a major reason why the club won the division in both 2007 and 2008. But this year has been about the offense for the Angels, with the club leading the Majors in runs scored, while the starting p

Peavy’s next start undetermined
The same question that lingered throughout the White Sox clubhouse following Monday night’s series-opening loss to Boston was still present on Tuesday. Will Jake Peavy make his White Sox debut Saturday afternoon at Yankee Stadium? It’s a question that won’t appear to have an answer until Thursday or possibly even Friday. The main stumbling block for Peavy no longer appears to be the strained tendon in his right ankle, keeping him inactive since early June. Click here to read the full
