NEW YORK -- The Chicago Cubs have placed outfielder David DeJesus on the 15-day
disabled list after he sprained his right shoulder running into the centre-field
wall Friday night.
Doug Gilmour Jersey . DeJesus was running
almost full speed when he extended his right arm, which slammed into the padded
wall in right-centre at Citi Field. His glove was knocked off his right hand,
and DeJesus immediately went down, writhing in pain on the warning track.
DeJesus, who grew up in the New York area, dislocated his thumb on a similar
play at Yankee Stadium in 2010. Unlike that year, however, DeJesus is expected
to return and play again this season. The Cubs activated right-handed reliever
Shawn Camp from the disabled list. He has 12 strikeouts and six walks in 16 2-3
innings this season in the bullpen.
Al MacInnis Flames Jersey . Robredo, ranked
No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of
the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25
minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel
Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz
Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo
Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance.
Gary Roberts Flames Jersey . The team said
Saturday that Lopez was hurt during its 121-120 overtime loss at Philadelphia on
Friday. The Nets said they would issue another update next week after
consultation with their doctors.

Aug.PHOENIX -- Brad Ziegler and the Arizona Diamondbacks are treading water in
the NL West. Paul Goldschmidt hit a two-run home run in the first inning and
Trevor Cahill and three relievers made it stand up in Arizonas 2-1 win over Los
Angeles on Monday night. With Los Angeles fourth loss in a row and the
Diamondbacks third straight win, the Dodgers magic number to clinch the NL West
remains four. The win also means the Dodgers will need to win the final two
games of the three-game series to celebrate on the Diamondbacks home field.
"Until we are mathematically eliminated we have to win every night," Ziegler
said. "Weve got to go at it, especially when we are playing the team we are
chasing. Los Angeles has lost 11 of 12 but the Dodgers once 13 1/2-game lead
over Arizona only has shrunk to 9 1/2 with 12 games to play. The Diamondbacks
are only in slightly better shape in the NL wildcard race, trailing the trio of
Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Cincinnati by eight games with Washington three games
ahead. "We cant worry about what they are all doing," Ziegler said. "We have to
go out and play our game." The Diamondbacks managed only two hits against Los
Angeles starter Hyun-Jin Ryu, marking the third time in club history they have
won with two hits or fewer. "We were fortunate but sometimes you have to win 2-1
with two hits," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "We got two hits but we made
the most of them." Goldschmidt raised his NL-leading RBI total to 116 with his
33rd home run off Ryu (13-7). Goldschmidt has homered in each of his last two
games after an 83-at-bat drought. "He threw a fastball first pitch and I was
looking for something over the plate," Goldschmidt said. "(Ryu) pitched great."
Ryu (13-7) went the distance for his second complete game. He walked one, struck
out four and retired 23 of the final 24 batters he faced. "I threw 100 pitches
but that one pitch was the decision-maker of the game," Ryu said. "It was an
error on my part. I believe no matter how good a pitch it was. If it is a home
run, its a mistake." Cahill (7-10) won for the fourth straight decision, holding
LLos Angeles to one run on two hits over 5 2/3 innings.
Miikka Kiprusoff Flames Jersey. Ziegler
pitched the ninth for his 11th save but not without some drama. Michael Young
hit a pinch-hit single to centre and Skip Schumaker singled to left. Juan Uribe
tried to bunt the runners over, but Ziegler fielded the ball and threw to third
to force Young for the first out. Nick Buss hit a soft bouncer to first for the
second out as the runners advanced. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly then sent up
Matt Kemp, who was activated off the 15-day disabled list earlier Monday.
Ziegler got ahead 0-2 on two swinging strikes, wasted a pitch and then struck
out Kemp on a lunging swing at on a curveball well low and outside.. "Ive faced
him a lot even before I got to Arizona, facing him in batting practice," Ziegler
said. "I know what hed trying to do and he knows what he wants to do against me.
Luckily, I came out on top tonight." Cahill was nearly untouchable over the
first five innings, allowing only a single by Punto to start the game and a
two-out walk to Puig in the first before retiring the next 13 in a row. But the
right-hander quickly ran into trouble in the sixth with the Diamondbacks still
holding a 2-0 lead. Cahill walked Ryu, Punto doubled to the wall in left-centre
and Mark Ellis walked to load the bases. Cahill retired Adrian Gonzalez on a
line drive to left and the runners held, but he then walked Puig to force home
Ryu and cut Arizonas lead to 2-1. Josh Collmenter came in on a double switch and
escaped the jam, striking out A.J. Ellis and getting Schumaker on a broken-bat
grounder to second to leave the bases loaded. "Hes done that in the past,"
Gibson said of Cahill. "He just starts to lose it. You could just see he was
aiming the ball." NOTES: Goldschmidt is tied with Reggie Sanders for eighth
place on Arizonas single-season home run list and moved into sole possession of
third place in RBIs behind Matt Williams 142 in 1999 and Luis Gonzalezs 142 in
2000. ... Cahill has not pitched past the sixth since August 22, a span of four
starts. ... Ryus other complete game came on May 28 when he threw a two-hit
shutout against the Los Angeles Angels.
