Blue Jays starter Brandon Morrow left Tuesdays game against the Atlanta Braves after just two innings with discomfort in his forearm. Manager John Gibbons said Morrow was taken out as a precaution. "We really didnt want to push it at this point," Gibbons explained. "Were (already) a little bit beaten up as it is in the rotation so were going to be a little more cautious. "You could see that his velocity was really down early in that first inning and it was something that just wasnt going away." Morrow gave up two runs on four hits with two strikeouts in his appearance against the Braves. The Blue Jays told reporters in the press box that Morrow is expected to make his next start on Sunday in San Diego.Derwin James Chargers Jersey . Rob Manfred, baseballs chief operating officer, testified last week during the grievance filed by the players union to overturn Rodriguezs 211-game suspension. A person familiar with the hearing, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press on Saturday that Manfred testified the sport wasnt concerned whether Bosch distributed performance-enhancing drugs to minors because MLBs interest was his relationship with players under investigation.

Ellis hit two-run homers and the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 4-0 Saturday night. Drue Tranquill Chargers Jersey . -- About a third of the way through the regular season, the Washington Wizards are at .EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Lakers spent the last few summers attempting to sell the NBAs top free agents on the franchises glamorous combination of history and Hollywood.From Dwight Howard to LaMarcus Aldridge, that pitch went terribly -- even more terribly than the Lakers last few seasons.So general manager Mitch Kupchak is trying something new this summer: The Lakers are selling their future, not their past.I do feel like we have a lot more going for us this year than we did last year, Kupchak said. We can focus a little bit more on the basketball side of it, because we do have more to sell. The franchise and the city have always sold themselves. Im not sure well concentrate as much on that as we did last year.After the worst season in franchise history and the retirement of Kobe Bryant, the Lakers have roughly $55 million in salary cap room to use in the free agent signing period -- but the glitz and celebrity that once attracted the likes of Shaquille ONeal arent as impressive in the 21st century.Instead, Kupchak hinted that the Lakers will attempt to attract players who are interested in getting in on the ground floor of the next big thing, not in joining Bryant in an attempt to climb back to the heights repeatedly scaled by this team.Will it work? Even Kupchak isnt sure. At least the Lakers are ready to start their next chapter.It might not be different, Kupchak said, before quickly adding: I think this year is different.The Lakers are looking for leaders and contributors to join an interesting young core, consisting of No. 2 pick Brandon Ingram, DAngelo Russell, Julius Randle, Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr. The group is unproven, but undeniably intriguing -- and in clear need of a veteran presence beyond guard Lou Williams.We didnt have as much to sell last year and the year before, Kupchak said. And we only had enough money for one (maximum contract for a) player last year, too. So I think this year, we have more to sell. We have Julius, DAngelo, Jordan Clarkson, whos a year further along, and Larry Nance.ddddddddddddRunning the show is 36-year-old coach Luke Walton, a prized prospect himself after his standout work with the Golden State Warriors.The former Lakers forward began his pitch to potential new players at his introductory news conference, emphasizing his knowledge of the teams tradition as he begins to change the way it plays.The future is bright, Walton said. Were going to play an up-tempo game ... and we have money to spend. I know the Buss family, and I know the Lakers organization. They do what it takes to win. That, to me, is all you really need to know. I dont see why you wouldnt want to come here and play.The Lakers already know they wont land the biggest prize in the market after Kevin Durant declined to meet with them. Yet there are plenty of candidates who could be intrigued by their combination of potential and the lavish compensation for playing on LAs most popular team.Big men Al Horford and Hassan Whiteside both intrigue the Lakers, as does forward Nicolas Batum. DeMar DeRozan, a Compton native, has long been rumored to be a homecoming candidate, although Lakers fans are sharply divided on the wisdom of giving big money to a streaky player.The Lakers have just six players under contract for next season, and that includes shooting guard Nick Young, who might be gone soon. Ingram also will definitely be on the team, but Kupchak is eager to put veterans around his blue-chip prospects.I think history tells you that a bunch of young guys on a team is probably not a good thing, Kupchak said. They look around for leadership and advice from somebody whos been through this a couple of times, and if theres nobody to talk to, then they really dont know how to handle the situation. So I think we will look to add some veteran leadership, and hopefully not only leadership, but guys who can help us win games. ' ' '
