15-day disabled list because of soreness

DENVER -- San Diego Padres right-hander Andrew Cashner was placed on the 15-day disabled list because of soreness in his pitching elbow. Manager Bud Black said before Saturday nights game against the Colorado Rockies that right-handed reliever Donn Roach would step into the rotation to fill Cashners spot on Sunday. "(Cashner) just informed me that he was sore, and as much as he hated to do it, it might be a time for him to take a step back to take two forward," Black said. "And I totally agreed that it was a prudent decision." The Padres also recalled right-handed pitcher Kevin Quackenbush from Triple-A El Paso to fill Cashners roster spot. Cashner last pitched on Tuesday at Cincinnati. He said he felt soreness in his elbow when he threw a side session on Thursday and spoke to Black about the issue on Friday after the team arrived in Denver for a three-game series. "Its one of the toughest decisions Ive had to make," Cashner said. "Ive been doing well. I think its just kind of my elbow has been a little sore and its gotten better and then it kind of took a step back after Cincinnati. "So, just from a recovery standpoint, I havent recovered as fast. I think its smarter right now to err on the side of caution. I think Ive just got some inflammation in there and hopefully I wont be on the DL longer than 15 days." The Padres return to San Diego on Sunday night and Cashner is scheduled to have an MRI and be examined by team doctors on Monday. Well aware of the recent rash of elbow ligament injuries in baseball, Cashner expressed some concern about the seriousness of his injury but remains optimistic that it nothing beyond some inflammation in the joint. "Its kind of crazy not to think about it because its definitely out there," Cashner said. "But I just think its kind of coincidence. Pitching in the big leagues has gotten tougher. Hitters are better. Guys are throwing harder. Its just a lot more stress youre putting on your arm, but Im not worried about my ligament at all. I dont think its that. But I go for an MRI on Monday and well know more then." Dwayne Harris Raiders Jersey .com) - The Hatch Attack is back in the Southern Conference. Kyle Wilber Raiders Jersey .

They say Russia isnt doing enough to assure that athletes will be protected at the Feb. 7-23 games, happening not far from an Islamic insurgency that Russias huge security apparatus has struggled for two decades to quell. Russia may run greater risks in towns outside the tightly controlled Olympic zone. Suicide bombs last month a few hundred kilometres (miles) away have increased concerns, and an Islamic warlord has urged his followers to attack the Sochi Olympics, Russian President Vladimir Putins pet project.

With Leicester and Tottenham looking to have the Premier League title between them and Arsenal their closest rivals, the final Champions League berth appears to be between the Manchester duo and fifth-placed West Ham.City, who followed up a 4-0 win at Bournemouth with a 2-2 draw against PSG on Wednesday, hold a slender one-point lead over United going into the final seven matches of the season, an advantage Sky Sports pundit Le Tissier is convinced they will maintain. Arsenal travel to West Ham for the lunchtime kick-off on Saturday while City host West Brom later in the day before United take on Tottenham at White Hart Lane at 4pm on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.Speaking to Sky Sports Now, Le Tissier said: I think given the way Spurs are playing this season, they go into the weekend as pretty hot favourites, although Manchester United can never be written off.If you are asking me who I think would win I would probably say Spurs and I think Man Utd will probably be just shy of overtaking Man City for fourth Place.City still have plenty in their locker and if they loook like they are getting threatened for fourth place theyll start pulling out some results as they did at Bournemouth last weekend.dddddddddddd Charlie Adam says United look to be losing their fear factor And fellow Sky Sports Now guest Charlie Adam backs Le Tissiers claims, insisting teams no longer fear facing United at home or away.I would say the fear factor has dipped in recent seasons, said the Stoke City midfielder. And I would say that Sir Alex Ferguson leaving was a major factor in that.He was a big presence at the club and also in English football. I think a lot of clubs going to Old Trafford now are confident that they can beat them. However, they are in the mix right now and will give it a right go. Also See: Will Martial beat Rooney?
