CHICAGO -- Dexter Fowler, sidelined since June 19 with a strained right hamstring, wont play in a game for the Chicago Cubs until after next weeks All-Star break, but theres still a chance hell play in the All-Star Game on Tuesday. Cheap Nike Shox Free Shipping .Fowler, who was voted a National League starter in fan balloting, is slated to begin a rehab assignment on Friday with Class A South. He will be the designated hitter on Friday and will then play the field on Saturday.If hes well after that, then he can be activated to play in the All-Star Game, manager Joe Maddon said Thursday before the Cubs hosted the Atlanta Braves.Fowler, 30, wants to play in the game because its his first All-Star appearance.Its reality, he said. I think my health is more important. Its a long season. You dont want it to occur again. You want to be smart about it.Not everyone in the organization, though, is comfortable with the idea of Fowler playing in an exhibition game before he plays for the Cubs -- especially with the tricky nature of hamstring injuries.He just has to be honest with us, Maddon said. If hes feeling really well, I have no problem with it. If theres any concern ...This is one of those things you could become overly cautious with. Our primary objective is to make sure hes ready to play the rest of the season to take us to the promised land. But the opportunity to play in an All-Star Game for a guy like him is pretty grand, and you dont want to get in the way of that if he can play.Fowler is batting .290 with seven home runs and 28 RBIs in 64 games. Cheap Nike Shox Online . PETERSBURG, Fla. Cheap Nike Shox For Sale . The Americans, skipped by John Shuster, seized the advantage in the eighth end by scoring five points for a 7-3 lead. The Czechs pulled two back in the ninth, but Shusters team of third Jeff Isaacson, second Jared Zezel and lead John Landsteiner ended with another point to secure the last Olympic berth on offer. http://www.cheapnikeshox.us/ .Y. - Free agent outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, fresh off winning the World Series with Boston, reached agreement with the rival New York Yankees on a seven-year contract worth about $153 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday night. LAKE PLACID, N.Y. -- Jamie Greubel Poser and Aja Evans were Olympic medalists when they last teamed up, and after nearly three years apart they quickly recaptured that form.Greubel Poser and Evans won both heats during the opening day of the USA Bobsled National Team Trials on Sunday, a big step for both to return to the World Cup circuit this winter. They were 0.19 seconds better than Elana Meyers Taylor and Lauren Gibbs in the first competitive race of the season on wintry Mount Van Hoevenberg.The last time Greubel Poser and Evans raced together was the Sochi Olympics in February 2014, when they were bronze medalists.We felt great today, Greubel Poser said. Our timing was spot on. Overall, today was great and the snow actually helped make it feel like bobsled season was really here.Winter came quickly to the Adirondack Mountains. The track opened Monday, then closed Tuesday as temperatures rose into the 70s -- and then a winter storm struck this weekend, dropping several inches of snow on some parts of the area and bringing high winds that knocked out power.Meyers Taylor has a bye onto the national team based on her accomplishments last season, as does womens skeleton athlete Annie OShea. No other U.S. slider has a bye, and thats what makes the trials in Lake Placid and the upcoming races in Park City, Utah so significant.Im really impressed with the start of the season this year, USA Bobsled coach Brian Shimer said.In mens bobsled, where it shapes up as four drivers competing for three World Cup spots, Codie Bascue paired with Chris Kinney and prevailed in 1:53.43 -- just edging Juustin Olsen and Evan Weinstock (1:53. Nike Shox Clearance Sale. .58), Steve Holcomb and Carlo Valdes (1:53.62) and Nick Cunningham and Nathan Gilsleider (1:53.88).For the drivers, the results of trials are critical. Push athletes are selected for the World Cup team in a more subjective process.Theres so many good guys right now, said Bascue, who won a team trials race for the first time. And one through four being so close, we really push each other and make each other better.In mens skeleton, World Cup veteran Matt Antoine was dominant -- his two-run time of 1:49.75 was well ahead of second-place Nathan Crumpton (1:51.23). Antoine had the fastest two starts of the day, setting the tone for his easy win.I havent pushed that fast in a couple years, and that was a little bit of a relief, just to see that Im back on the right track, Antoine said. When you walk to the line and you know youre going to be fast at the start, it helps everything else from there on down.OShea, even though her World Cup spot is secure, competed anyway and won the first trials race in womens skeleton in 1:53.56 -- just 0.05 seconds ahead of Savannah Graybill.Racing your teammates is the hardest thing we do, OShea said.Third place in both skeleton races went to returning veterans who are back on the ice. Kyle Tress took last season off and returned this fall with hopes of getting back on the mens national team, and three-time Olympian Katie Uhlaender was a comfortable third in the womens race Sunday.
