Blue Jays' Encarnacion lands on DL

Baseball Betting Lines

08/28/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Blue Jays placed Edwin Encarnacion on the 15-day disabled list after the third baseman sprained his left wrist during a sixth-inning at-bat on Saturday.

Encarnacion grounded out in that frame and exited in favor of John McDonald due to the injured wrist, the same one on which he had surgery last offseason.

The 27-year-old Dominican has hit .246 with 13 home runs and 36 RBI in 80 games during his first full season in Toronto.

To fill his spot on the roster, the Jays recalled Mike McCoy from Triple-A Las Vegas. McCoy made the big-league roster out of spring training but hit just .200 over 29 games. In Triple-A, the utility man batted .310 with six homers and 26 RBI in 53 games.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
