ORLANDO, Fla. - Jason Day has withdrawn from the Arnold Palmer Invitational because of an injured thumb. This is the second straight tournament in which Day pulled out because of the thumb injury. He says he first injured it at the Match Play Championship, which he won in late February. Day won the Match Play and went to No. 4 in the world. The 26-year-old Australian previously withdrew from a World Golf Championship at Doral because of the injury. It was not immediately known where or if he would play again before the Masters. Day is considered one of the favourites for Augusta National this year. He finished two shots out of the playoff last year at Augusta, and was a runner-up in 2011. . As each game passes (each has played close with the exception of last night) it becomes clearer just how evenly matched these two teams are and how one mistake, or one bad inning, is likely to sway the result. . Cammalleri suffered a concussion in the Flames 2-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday. The 31-year-old forward did not travel with the team to Carolina. . Simon (10-3) allowed three runs on five hits and three walks in 6 1-3 innings to break a tie with the Dodgers Zack Greinke and Cardinals Adam Wainwright for the NL lead in victories. Simon went to spring training as a relief pitcher and moved into the starting rotation when Mat Latos was recovering from elbow and knee surgeries. . -- James Harden scored 31 points, including 25 in the second half, and the Houston Rockets dug out of a double-digit, first-half hole to beat the Orlando Magic 101-89 on Wednesday night. . -- Washington Capitals forward Brooks Laich is expected to miss the rest of the regular season after having an operation on a groin muscle.The Edmonton Rush announced on Wednesday that Georges St-Pierre will join fans at the teams season home opener Saturday, January 11, 2014 at 7:00pm ct at Rexall Place against divisional rivals Colorado Mammoth.
