TORONTO -- The Toronto Blue Jays have added depth at catcher for the stretch run by re-acquiring veteran switch-hitter Dioner Navarro from the Chicago White Sox. Nike Sb Clearance Sale .The Blue Jays sent minor league left-hander Colton Turner to Chicago in Fridays waiver deal. Navarro is likely to be the backup in Toronto behind Russell Martin.Navarro was texting with a Toronto player when White Sox general manager Rick Hahn interrupted to tell him of the trade.The player was asking him if he had heard anything about them possibly going after him again. When I was explaining to him he had been traded he started typing in, Yeah, I just heard something, Hahn said.Navarro, 32, spent two seasons with the Blue Jays before signing a one-year, $4 million deal with the White Sox as a free agent in December. He has struggled this season, hitting .210 with six homers and 32 RBIs in 85 games.Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said Navarro was excited by the opportunity to reunite with his former team.I could see the smile through the phone, Atkins said. This should be a boost of energy for him, coming into a contender.Toronto entered play Friday tied with Boston atop the American League East.Atkins said Torontos coaching staff was also pleased to hear Navarro was returning.They were extremely excited about, not just what he means as a catcher, but just an overall teammate, he said.Navarro is expected to join the Blue Jays in Baltimore on Monday, Atkins said. Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey, who typically works with catcher Josh Thole, is set to start against Minnesota on Sunday.Atkins said the Blue Jays continue to explore further moves.At this point, you have to be really aggressive to get something done, he said. Every day well look to make this team better, but theres nothing imminent.The White Sox were looking to clear a roster spot with catcher Alex Avila set to come off the disabled list.Turner, 25, has split time between Class A and Double-A this season, going 3-1 with a 1.33 ERA in 44 games.Hes 94-95 (mph) on the fastball, plus slider with good command, Hahn said of Turner. Hes effective against both righties and lefties, so hopefully his role wont be limited to simply matching up against lefties. Cheap Nike Sb Shoes . But now that hes in the NHL, the Calgary Flames centre showed big improvement in that department by scoring the winner in the eighth round of a 5-4 shootout victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday.

The No. 1-ranked Nadal tweaked his back warming up for the Australian Open final, which he lost almost four weeks ago in a major upset against Stanislas Wawrinka. His first stop after the layoff is the clay in Rio as he tests the back and tries to stay healthy for the French Open in three months. ST. LOUIS -- Two of the players who played key roles in leading the St. Louis Blues to the Western Conference final last year will be back in town Tuesday night with the Calgary Flames.Right winger Troy Brouwer, who was second on the team with eight goals in the playoffs last year, signed with the Flames as a free agent over the summer. Goalie Brian Elliott was traded to the Flames during the NHL draft.Brouwer will definitely be in the lineup for the Flames, but Elliotts status is not as clear cut. He had to go seven rounds deep into a shootout Monday night to help the Flames earn only their second win of the season, 3-2 over the Blackhawks in Chicago -- his first victory with his new team.Elliott did not play when the two teams met last Saturday in Chicago, as Chad Johnson started in goal. After Tuesday night, the Flames will not play again in St. Louis until March 25.The shootout win came after the Flames were only 1-4-1 to start the season, allowing a league-high 27 goals.Elliott made several key saves in the third period and overtime, and then stopped all seven attempts by the Blackhawks in the shootout.The Flames two goals in regulation both came on the power play after they had scored on only one of 25 power-play attempts in their first six games.We need to have confidence in ourselves, Brouwer told the Calgary Sun. Its been a little bit of a rocky start and its obviously not where we want to be and were playing some tough teams, but we need to have confidence in ourselves, knowing that were a real good hockey team.The Blues have not played since their 6-4 win Saturday night in Calgary, which featured the third career hat trick for left winger David Perron. He was part of a new line combination that included Jaden Schwartz at center and Vladimir Tarasenkoo on right wing. Cheap Nike Sb Online. An injury to center Jori Lehtera and the return of Schwartz from an elbow injury prompted the Blues to juggle their top forward lines, and they elected to move Schwartz to center so Alexander Steen could stay on right wing, with Robby Fabbri on left wing and Paul Stastny at center.That line (Perron, Schwartz and Tarasenko) obviously had some great chemistry for the first time, said Blues coach Ken Hitchcock. Jaden hasnt played center ice for a little while. Thats the first time that line was together and they showed great chemistry great cohesion on the ice. It was great to see.Lehtera, on injured reserve, skated on his own on Monday and the Blues said his status would be re-evaluated on Tuesday. He missed all three games in western Canada last week because of an upper-body injury.Left winger Dmitrij Jaskin did not practice Monday because of a lower-body injury, but Hitchcock said he still is a possibility to play on Tuesday night.Carter Hutton will get the start in goal for the Blues. He earned a 3-2 win over the New York Rangers in his only start this season, on Oct. 15, stopping 33 of 35 shots, including all 15 in the third period when the Rangers out-shot the Blues 15-0.The Blues have opened the season with a 4-1-1 record, and their special team units have played a major role in that quick start. They have six power-play goals in their first six games, and their penalty-kill unit has allowed only one goal in 20 opportunities. They enter the game against the Flames having killed off their opponents last 19 consecutive chances.I dont want to talk about it, Hitchcock said Monday. Im not talking about it.
