Rollie Fingers Jersey

CHICAGO (AP) � The Milwaukee Brewers are casting doubt on Jimmy Nelson�s chances of returning this season.Nelson had shoulder surgery last September after he got hurt diving back to first after rounding the base on a single. It was a tough conclusion to a breakout year for the right-hander http://www.oriolesfanproshop.com/authentic-j.j.-hardy-jersey , who went 12-6 with a 3.49 ERA in 29 starts.The 29-year-old Nelson has been working out, but he is running out of time.�Jimmy pitching for us this year is unlikely,� manager Craig Counsell said before Wednesday�s 8-4 loss to the Chicago Cubs. �And that�s not due to a setback of any nature. That�s just due to the pace of his rehab right now. So we�re not ruling it 100 percent out, probably best goal is to just get him into a competitive situation before he shuts it down for the offseason. But I think at this point, pitching for us, the timetable to get there just doesn�t seem likely.�Even with Nelson out and a couple more pitching injuries, Milwaukee is in the thick of the playoff hunt in the National League. It is in position for a wild card and just three back of Chicago for the NL Central lead.Vying for their first postseason appearance since 2011, the Brewers added another pitching possibility when they acquired Jake Thompson from Philadelphia for cash considerations on Tuesday. Zach Davies also could rejoin the team down the stretch after being sidelined by an inflamed right rotator cuff and tight lower back.Thompson was optioned to Triple-A Colorado Springs. The 24-year-old right-hander is 7-8 with a 4.87 ERA in 18 starts and 30 major league appearances � all with the Phillies.�We look at him as another quality arm that adds to our depth,� general manager David Stearns said. �Similar to Jordan Lyles http://www.oriolesfanproshop.com/authentic-j.j.-hardy-jersey , he has experience starting and relieving. We�re going to look at him primarily as a reliever at this point. He�s another arm with options that we think can really just give us another guy to add to this rotation.�The Brewers claimed Lyles off waivers from San Diego on Aug. 5. He was hit hard in his first appearance with his new club, yielding three runs and three hits in 2 1/3 innings in a 10-1 loss at Atlanta on Friday.Davies made a rehab appearance with Double-A Biloxi on Saturday, surrendering four runs and five hits in five innings against Tennessee. He is scheduled to start for Triple-A Colorado Springs on Thursday.�We�ll kind of take it from there,� Stearns said. �Part of this is how Zach is feeling. And he is beginning to feel better and I think getting more comfortable with where his body is at this point. Part of this is how our current group is performing and part of it is where we think Zach is at a performance level. All those are going to be taken into account. We are getting closer to September, so that could factor in.�The 25-year-old Davies is 2-5 with a 5.23 ERA in eight starts after winning 17 games last season. Stearns said they could have Davies make another rehab appearance after Saturday�s outing. NEW YORK (AP) � Noah Syndergaard has sent plenty of 100 mph fastballs toward home plate. One of these days, he figured one might come back his way.The New York Mets star pitcher is feeling lucky his run-in with a hard line drive Saturday didn�t turn out worse.Syndergaard left the game after he was hit by Cesar Hernandez�s liner in the seventh inning. Still, he managed to slow the Philadelphia Phillies� playoff run despite allowing a career-worst 12 hits and five walks in the Mets� 10-5 victory.�That was really the one right there,� Syndergaard said, adding that �most of them have been pretty softly hit or on the ground. But it comes with the territory of playing baseball and being a pitcher.�Syndergaard (11-3) tried to brace himself but was hit on the right lower rib cage when Hernandez lined a 98 mph pitch. Syndergaard picked up the ball but held onto it. The Mets said X-rays were negative.The ball came off Hernandez�s bat at 103.7 mph.�When it happened Jonathan Schoop Jersey , I saw my life flash before my eyes a little bit, and at that point I just assumed I was done,� Syndergaard said.He matched his career high for walks and allowed four runs in 6 2/3 innings.Mets rookie second baseman Jeff McNeil, who has reached base safely in his last 21 starts, had three hits, including a triple. His four triples since Aug. 18 lead the league.�He�s added another dimension to the way our lineup looks,� Mets manager Mickey Callaway said.�He has a little bit of different skill set than some other guys. He�s able to spray the ball around the field. He�s great left on left.�Zach Eflin (9-7) gave up six runs, four hits and three walks in three innings, dropping to 0-3 in his last four starts.He struggled after striking out two to retire the Mets in order in the first inning.�I think I just got away from my fastball after that http://www.oriolesfanproshop.com/authentic-j.j.-hardy-jersey ,� Eflin said. �Was really relying on other pitches I shouldn�t have been relying on when my fastball was as good as it was in the first inning.�Philadelphia, which led the NL East before play Aug. 12, fell 3 1/2 games behind first-place Atlanta and also trails in the NL wild-card race. The Phillies have lost 16 of their last 25. Atlanta beat Arizona 5-4 in 10 innings.�This certainly was not our night but I thought there were some real positive things,� Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said.Tomas Nido hit a three-run double in the second inning and Todd Frazier had a three-run homer in the third. Jay Bruce made it 7-0 with an RBI single in the fourth and Michael Conforto added his 21st homer as the Mets won for the fifth time in their last seven games.Rhys Hoskins led off the sixth with his 29th homer and Hernandez singled in a run later in the inning, the first of his three RBIs.PREVIOUS HIGHSSyndergaard also walked five against Washington on July 22, 2015. His gave up 10 hits against San Diego and San Francisco in 2015 and also vs. Atlanta this May.MAKING MOVESPhillies: INF Mitch Walding was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.Mets: C Jose Lobaton�s contract was selected from Triple-A Las Vegas.

He then will speak to chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon to review his status. � LF Dominic Smith was pulled from the game prior to the sixth inning due to a tight left groin. Callaway said Smith tweaked his groin while stretching out to make a play at first base on Friday night.UP NEXTPhillies: RHP Vince Velasquez (9-10) is 1-3 with a 3.78 ERA in seven starts against the Mets going into Sunday�s outing.Mets: RHP Jacob deGrom (8-8, 1.68) has allowed three runs or fewer in a big league record 27 starts this season.
