TORONTO -- Toronto Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista will
likely miss a few days with a mild hamstring strain but
is not expected to go on the disabled list. The all-star
right-fielder had an MRI exam done Monday after leaving
Sundays game in Cincinnati. "Its definitely some of the
best news I could have gotten," Bautista said. "I could
have got the news of a torn hamstring or a higher-grade
strain. But its the lowest grade strain that there could
be -- grade one -- so its day by day." Bautista said
theres a "really good chance" he wont have to go on the
DL and added he might even be able to return during
Torontos three-game series against the New York Yankees,
which began Monday night at Rogers Centre. "Im not saying
a start but a pinch-hit at-bat here or there, thats a
possibility," he said. The Blue Jays have led the
American League East standings for the last month but
they won just three games on their recent 10-game road
trip. Entering play Monday, Toronto had a 1 1/2-game lead
on New York and the Baltimore Orioles. Toronto lost
another key player over the weekend as infielder Brett
Lawrie of Langley, B.C., will miss three to six weeks
with a fractured right index finger. The Blue Jays placed
him on the 15-day DL on Monday and recalled outfielders
Anthony Gose and Kevin Pillar from triple-A Buffalo. "We
need the two extra outfielders to cover while Jose is
out," said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. "When he comes
back, I dont necessarily think we need two. But for the
time being, we do." "Its an opportunity for somebody,"
Gibbons added. "Thats what it comes down to." Lawrie is
batting .244 this season with 12 homers and 38 RBIs. The
Blue Jays also optioned catcher Erik Kratz to the Bisons
on Monday. Bautista is enjoying another strong season
with a .305 average, 15 home runs and 49 RBIs in 77
games. His defensive play has been excellent and he leads
all major-league players in fan voting for the July 15
all-star game in Minnesota. He suffered the injury while
trying to leg out a single in the Blue Jays 4-3 loss to
the Reds. "I was running down to first and I extended my
leg to step on the bag and I just felt a little sharp
pain," Bautista said. "The usual feeling when you strain
a muscle. Ive been there before so I knew what was going
on. I had a good idea at least. I just didnt know how bad
it was. "I knew I could have made it worse by staying in
the game so I came out." Gibbons was unable to provide a
specific return date but was relieved it didnt appear to
be a serious injury. "Hopefully just a couple days," he
said. "Well see." The Blue Jays opened June with five
straight wins but have gone 4-11 since, entering the
series opener against the Yankees. The timing of the
injuries and the recent slide have not helped ease
concerns from a jittery fanbase that the teams rare
first-place run could soon come to an end, especially
with New York and Baltimore now so close in the
standings. "I dont think it should be blown out of
proportion," Bautista said. "I think we have capable guys
that can fill in on a short-term basis and hopefully do a
great job. "Certainly the other guys that are in the
lineup that are still regulars, they are plenty good to
carry the offence and the team on the field. So I wouldnt
blow it out of proportion." At the end of his five-minute
pre-game availability, Bautista was asked what hed say to
the portion of the fanbase who believes the teams strong
play last month was an aberration, and that the results
from the last two weeks are more the expected norm. "Well
good for them," he said. "I dont have to defend
ourselves. If they want to root for the Yankees or the
Red Sox, be my guest. They shouldnt be Jays fans if thats
how they feel. Thats my opinion." Torontos lineup card
for the opener of the three-game series against the
Yankees had a different look. Designated hitter Adam Lind
moved into Bautistas No. 3 slot, batting behind shortstop
Jose Reyes and left-fielder Melky Cabrera. First baseman
Edwin Encarnacion remained in the cleanup spot and
centre-fielder Colby Rasmus batted fifth and catcher
Dioner Navarro was in the No. 6 spot. Third baseman Juan
Francisco batted seventh, ahead of second baseman
Munenori Kawasaki and right-fielder Gose.

At this point, even he isnt sure when it is going to
stop. The right-hander dropped his fourth straight
decision in Los Angeles 6-1 loss to the Pittsburgh
Pirates on Wednesday night, leaving his status very much
in doubt as the Dodgers prepare for the stretch drive.

The Los Angeles Clippers chose not to speak publicly

Sunday.VALENCIA, Spain -- Striker Aritz Aduriz scored two
goals to help Athletic Bilbao win 2-1 at Levante on
Monday, strengthening the Basque sides hold on fourth
place in the Spanish league. Bilbaos second victory in
its last six games restored its six-point advantage over
fifth-place Sevilla as it clings to the last Champions
League berth. "Today was a very important game because
all the rest of the way the games will be like this,"
said Bilbao coach Ernesto Valverde. "Sevilla, Real
(Sociedad), are coming on strong. It will be tough from
here on in." Bilbao defender Mikel San Jose missed a
chance to grab the lead in the 12th minute when he
misfired a penalty after Juanfran Garcia fouled Iker
Muniain. But Aduriz struck three minuutes later when his
shot took a deflection off a defender to catch goalkeeper
Keylor Navas out of position.dddddddddddd. Bilbao
continued to dominate both possession and scoring
chances, and Aduriz hit again by heading home Ander
Herreras well-placed cross just before halftime. Adurizs
double gave him a team-leading 13 goals in the league
this season. San Jose compounded his erred spot kick by
scoring an own goal in the 66th when Ruben Perezs cross
hit his leg and looped into the net. Bilbao lost
midfielder Mikel Rico to injury in the first half after
Victor Casadesus hurt his ankle with a low tackle.
Atletico Madrid leads the league by one point over
Barcelona. Real Madrid is another two points behind with
six rounds to play.
