Sonstiges » in late August from Tommy John surgery

ASHBURN, Va. -- Redskins defensive coordinator Joe Barry says the team felt comfortable with our plan to have Bashaud Breeland cover Steelers wideout Antonio Brown more than $75 million cornerback Josh Norman did in Washingtons Week 1 loss to Pittsburgh.Barry offered an explanation of sorts on Thursday, saying its hard for the other three or four DBs to get lined up if one corner is assigned to always cover a particular receiver, no matter where that receiver is lined up.If instead of keeping Norman on one particular half of the field, for example, the Redskins most significant offseason acquisition were told to always line up across from Brown, according to Barry: It is hard for the other guys to get lined up in a timely matter, especially in a no-huddle offense with the tempo.Brown beat Breeland for two touchdowns, including one on a fourth-and-1 play. The wideout teamed with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for a total of eight catches for 126 yards in Pittsburghs 38-16 victory.Asked about the possibility of switching things up during the game, Barry replied: To coordinate that in a game plan is difficult. Ive never been able to do that. Ive never been (one) to do something like that on the sidelines.Some of the leagues best cornerbacks will travel during the course of a game -- in other words, shift which side of the field they begin plays on, depending on where an opponents top receiver lines up.Norman, for his part, shrugged off the topic, essentially saying that he just does what hes told to do.I think `traveling or not `traveling, one side or the other side, who really cares, man? Lets just get the job done. Whoever gets the job done, so be it, man. All this talk about this guy matches up with that guy, who really freakin cares? Norman said.You come out with a `W, you win the game, and all that is hogwash. So thats what people talk about and it is what it is. We as players, of course, want to go up against each other because our competitive egos are through the roof. Its just one of those things that comes with the territory.The question for Washington (0-1) entering Sundays game against visiting Dallas (0-1) is whether Norman might be assigned more often to cover Cowboys star Dez Bryant.I want the challenge, just like he wants the challenge, Bryant said. Its going to be a fun game Sunday. Mutual respect from each other. Were just going to go out there and put on a good game. Its not about me or him. Its about each others team.---AP Sports Writer Schuyler Dixon in Frisco, Texas, contributed.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrichVapormax Pas Cher Chine .

The Cincinnati Reds remain perfect with their speedy rookie outfielder in the starting lineup.NEW YORK -- At last years trade deadline, Sandy Alderson fed a big meal to New York Mets fans hungry for a title, acquiring Yoenis Cespedes. This year, the general manager is more likely to add a side of fries.This is the entertainment business, and we talk about steak and sizzle, and I enjoy sizzle as much as anybody, Alderson said before Monday nights game against St. Louis was rained out and rescheduled as part of a doubleheader Tuesday.Then he added: I think realistically the bullpen is the area where we can probably get someone who can make a difference at a relatively low cost in terms of prospects.New York was 53-50 at the time of the trade last July 31, trailing Washington by two games in the NL East. Led by Cespedes and boosted by the acquisitions of relievers Tyler Clippard, Eric OFlaherty and Addison Reed, the Mets went 37-22 after the deal to win the division. They reached the World Series for the first time since 2000, only to lose to Kansas City in five games.Cespedes energized the fan base, re-signed and leads the Mets offense with a .299 average, 21 homers and 56 RBI. But New York is in third place and trails division-leading Washington by five games.Even sizzle becomes less sizzling over time, just because it becomes part of the everyday expectation, Alderson said. So I think its unfair to think that he could continue to have that sort of novelty impact as well as performance over a year or year-plus. But hes certainly a significant part of our team at this point and has done everything we could have expected.Without mentioning names, Alderson appeared to downplay the possibility of acquiring Jonathan Lucroy from payroll-paring Milwaukee for Travis dArnaud in a swap of catchers.Im thinking of the same rumors that youre thinking of, that rumor was dead on arrival, he told reporters.Alderson said splashier acquisitions were unrealistic because of high prices.For whatever reason this year, clubs keep asking for the top tier of our system, he said, and were simply not going to move players that we think are going to have a significant role for us in the somewhat near future for the possibility of getting the kind of unique return that we got last year.Third baseman David Wright is out for the year following surgery June 16 to repair a herniated disk in his neck, and first baseman Lucas Duda hasnt played since May 20 because of a stress fracture in his lower back.ddddddddddddNew Yorks rotation has been weakened by a season-ending injury to Matt Harvey, who had surgery July 18 to correct Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, which affects blood and nerves near the shoulder.

Less than an hour after Mondays game was called off, the rain stopped and a rainbow appeared over the ballpark.WHEELERAlderson projects right-hander Zack Wheeler could return in late August from Tommy John surgery but said thats a little bit speculative. Wheeler had elbow reconstruction on March 25 last year.WALKERSecond baseman Neil Walker was not in the starting lineup for the second straight day. He is hitting .155 (9 for 58) in July with eight RBI, dropping his season average to .239.We talked about just taking a couple of days to mentally kind of hit restart, he said.Collins has not detected any great mechanical problems with Walkers swing.Mental fatigue can lead to physical fatigue, and so the swings can start to get a little long, which we see, and even though they think theyre not tired, they dont feel tired, they are tired, he said. When your mind starts to fade, youre in trouble.WRIGHTWrights wife Molly gave birth Saturday to a girl, Olivia Shea Wright, who weighed 8 pounds, 11 ounces.
