Dan Gronkowski, a tight end, played five games for New England as a teammate of Robs in 2011.Tight end Greg Scruggs was also signed Saturday and added to the 53-man roster. To make room for Scruggs and Gronkowski, the team released defensive lineman John Hughes III and receiver DaRon Brown. . And follow TSN.ca right through Deadline Day for all the updates. From Pierre LeBrun While Anaheim GM Bob Murray said earlier this season he was not going to trade Jonas Hiller despite the fact hes an unrestricted free agent on July 1, some sources have told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun that Murray might be willing to move another goalie. .Y. -- Canadas Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse have another World Cup gold medal after winning the two-women bobsled race on Saturday in Lake Placid, N. . Houston won 3-0 to advance to face New York in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Last in the game, Di Vaio and Romero got into a shoving match with several Houston players. Romero appeared to elbow and kick Houston defender Kofi Sarkodie. . With the short-handed Warriors needing help from someone -- anyone -- to stop a three-game skid, ONeal returned from right knee and groin injuries that had sidelined him for four games and put up season highs with 18 points and eight rebounds. It was just enough to help lift Golden State to a 102-101 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. . 31, the CFL club announced Monday. The team also has yet to decide on the future of Doug Berry, who began the season as a consultant to the head coach but took over the offensive co-ordinators duties in July. ANAHEIM -- Right-hander Jered Weaver continues his rugged struggle of a season when his Los Angeles Angels meet the Chicago White Sox in Sundays final game of their weekend series.As recently as 2014, Weaver was one of baseballs best. He shared first place in the American League that year with 18 victories and in the majors overall with 34 starts.Since then, however, assorted physical problems and decreasing velocity dramatically reduced Weavers effectiveness. Last season was the worst of his career; the right-hander compiled a 7-12 record and a 4.64 earned-run average. Until 2015, Weaver never won fewer than 11 games or finished with an ERA higher than 4.33.This season, Weaver matched last years victory total but is allowing opponents to bat .294 and is projected to finish with a career-worst 4.93 ERA. After collecting five quality starts in the first two months, Weaver has had just three since, though he conceded just one run, one walk and four hits in six innings against the Tampa Bay Rays on July 6 while striking out five in a 7-2 victory.I dont know if its ever easy, Weaver told MLB.com. Im just trying to locate pitches and keep those guys off balance.One constant in the midst of fluctuating success is Weavers personal tenacity.Jered competes, manager Mike Scioscia told MLB.com after Weavers latest victory. Just having that element inside of him lets him go out with whatever his tools are and try to win.For the past two seasons, that tenacity provided the foundation for professional survival.About 80 percent of the league wouldnt have been throwing with what Ive been throwing the last couple of years, Weaver told MLB.ddddddddddddcom.One of Weavers goals will be to extend Chicagos streak of consecutive innings without scoring. The White Sox enter Sundays game having not scored in 32 innings.Opposing Weaver will be right-hander Jacob Turner, who will be making his first major league start in two years. Turner was recalled from Triple-A Charlotte after Saturday nights 1-0 loss and replaces left-hander Carlos Rodon, who is on the disabled list with a sprained left wrist.Turner, who signed as a free agent in December, made 18 starts for Charlotte. Despite pitching a complete-game shutout, the 25-year-old owns a 4-7 record and a 4.71 ERA. In 107 innings, Turner has allowed 29 walks and 125 hits, including 10 home runs, while amassing 85 strikeouts.Before signing with the White Sox, Turner spent four seasons with the Detroit Tigers, Miami Marlins and Chicago Cubs. He won his last major league start Sept. 28, 2014 for the Cubs against the Milwaukee Brewers.Left-hander Chris Sale, who started for the American League in Tuesday nights All-Star Game and pitched one inning, would be pitching on four days rest had he received the start Sunday. But Ventura wanted to give Sale another day off. Sale will pitch Monday night in Seattle.I think they pitch harder in that game than they probably would in a normal game, said Ventura, a two-time All-Star. They definitely throw more fastballs than in a normal game. Thats part of the experience. I know it was only one inning but we wanted to make sure he had extended rest. ' ' ' |
