DENVER -- The Chicago Cubs placed right-handed pitchers John Lackey and Hector
Rondon on the 15-day disabled list Friday, the team announced.
Jamie Garcia Jersey .Both underwent MRIs on
Thursday, with Lackeys revealing a right shoulder strain and Rondons revealing
right triceps strain, the team said.Lackey left Sundays start against the St.
Louis Cardinals with shoulder stiffness after twice warming up in the bullpen in
extra innings of two recent games. Rondon tried to pitch through his issue
before the team decided he would potentially have a setback if he kept
throwing.Taking their places on the roster are lefty Rob Zastryzny and righty
Felix Pena; both will make their major league debuts when they enter a game for
the Cubs.Zastryzny represents the first pitcher drafted (second round, 2013) by
the current front office to make the team. Pena has been in the organization
since 2009.To make room for Zastryzny and Pena on the 40-man roster, the Cubs
placed Dallas Beeler and Aaron Brooks on the 60-day disabled list.Lefty Mike
Montgomery will fill in for Lackey on Saturday against the Colorado Rockies,
followed by right-hander Jason Hammel on Sunday. Jon Lester, Jake Arrieta and
Kyle Hendricks will throw against the San Diego Padres early next week.
Jon Niese Jersey . A big centre with all the
tools to be an elite player, Johansen paced the Blue Jackets with a standout
game Saturday night. He had a goal and two assists for a career-high three
points as Columbus beat the New York Islanders 5-2 to snap a five-game losing
streak.
Aaron Hicks Jersey . -- Peyton Manning will
have all of his wide receivers available for the first time in a month when the
Denver Broncos begin their playoff run Jan.

. The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking
full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the
last off-season. Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that keeping Baines at
the club is a "massive boost and exciting for the future" because he brings
"maturity and football knowledge in a very specialized position on the pitch"
and an "infectious and positive influence to the rest of the squad. TEMPE, Ariz.
-- A bad season has gotten worse for the Arizona Cardinals, with a rash of new
injuries and the arrest of a wide receiver.Three players appear headed for
season-ending injured reserve -- safety Tyvon Branch (torn muscle in groin),
inside linebacker Deone Bucannon (high ankle sprain) and right tackle Ulrick
John (dislocated shoulder). It will be Branchs second trip to IR. He underwent
groin surgery and was pulled off IR, appearing in two games before tearing a
muscle very near where the first operation occurred.In addition, left tackle
D.J. Humphries -- who was playing the best of the remaining offensive linemen --
is out while undergoing the concussion protocol.To add to the Cardinals
troubles, wide receiver Michael Floyd was arrested in Scottsdale early Monday on
charges of driving under the influence, failure to obey a police officer and
obstructing a roadway.That followed a 26-23 loss at Miami on Sunday, a defeat
that virtually sealed the Cardinals fate as a non-playoff team. Theres still a
mathematical chance for them, but at 5-7-1, the reality is that a team that had
embraced preseason predictions of a Super Bowl is out of the running for the
postseason.Coach Bruce Arians told the players as much in the locker room after
Sundays loss.Just being real, Arians said at his weekly Monday news conference.
I wouldnt expect anything other than disappointment, but are you going to
sugarcoat it? 8-7-1 might get you in, but probably not.Among Arians chief
challenges this week is to put together an offensive line for Sundays game
against New Orleans, Arizonas final home contest of the season.If Humphries cant
go, John Wetzel would be the left tackle. That probably means the Cardinals
would bring undrafted rookie Givens Price off the practice squad and perhaps
give him the start at right tackle.Hes done a nice job of maturing on the
practice squad, Arians said. Well look at him.Thats not exactly a strong group
to try to protect Carson Palmer, who has been under siege by the pass rush and
taken some vicious hits throughout the season.Theres still guys there and we
expect the same of them, center A.Q. Shipley said of the remaining linemen. He
added, jokingly, that he might have to move out to left tacklle this week.
Aroldis Chapman Jersey. Well see what
happens.Floyd was having what Arians described as a very inconsistent season
before he was arrested.Scottsdale police said they received a report at 2:48
a.m. MST Monday of a man unconscious behind the wheel of a running vehicle at an
intersection.Floyd, who had three alcohol-related brushes with the law when he
played at Notre Dame, was booked on the charges and released about 5 a.m.Arians
said he would continue to gather information about the arrest before deciding
how to proceed.Sunday featured another special teams meltdown for the Cardinals,
and Arians mounted an unsolicited, spirited defense of special teams coach Amos
Jones.Arizona missed an extra point due to a bad snap. Chandler Catanzaro also
missed a field goal try and had a conversion kick blocked and returned the
length of the field for two Miami points. A punt return helped set up Miamis
game-winning field goal.Its been a bad snap and hold and a kick or a punt all
year, Arians said. Coaches dont do any of those things. There wont be any
coaching changes. Let me make that perfectly clear today. They dont snap, hold
and kick. Players do those things.Arians called Jones a hell of a coach.I watch
him prepare, Arians said. I watch him coach. It has nothing to do with (my)
faith. I know the guy can coach. His players arent playing very well. Theyre my
players, so if Im going to fire him, Ill fire myself.Arians said his five best
special teams players are on injured reserve.The Cardinals still have special
teams ace Justin Bethel, but his play at cornerback has not been good. Injuries
pressed Bethel into the lineup and he was repeatedly burned late in the
game.Arians called Bethels play at cornerback a failure in progress.The coach
said he expects professionalism and effort from his players the remainder of the
season.You respect the process and you come to work, Arians said. Ive been on a
3-13 team and a 7-9 team. You come to work every week. If you see guys cashing
it in, you need to get rid of them.---For more NFL coverage:
