BALTIMORE -- The Orioles activated first baseman Chris
Davis from the 15-day disabled list Sunday, a move that
would have generated more enthusiasm in the Baltimore
clubhouse if catcher Matt Wieters didnt take his place on
the DL with a right elbow strain. After spending the
minimum time on the disabled list with a strained muscle
near his left ribcage, Davis was in the starting lineup
for Sundays game against the Houston Astros. Wieters had
an MRI on his elbow Monday and visited Dr. James Andrews,
who prescribed he rest his arm. Wieters served as
designated hitter this week, but the Orioles decided it
would be a good idea to shut him down for a while. "I
think to get the best opportunity for this to heal
properly we need to let it quiet down completely,"
manager Buck Showalter said. "Youre getting treatment all
day then its, Hold on a second to take some swings in the
cage. I got to get ready for the game." Showalter added:
"Originally, they felt the best case scenario was a two-
or three-week period where he wasnt throwing. I think
this gives us the best opportunity for this thing to
manage itself." Wieters is batting .308 with five homers
and 18 RBIs, but he has thrown out only one of 12 would-
be base stealers. "Its not like some acute pain. Its just
that he knows its not like it should be to catch at the
major league level," Showalter said. "A lot of catchers
would die to be able to make the throws Matt has made so
far this year." Davis led the majors last year with 53
home runs and 138 RBIs. This season he has two homers and
13 RBIs in 22 games. He went on the DL on April 27,
retroactive to April 26, after being pulled from a game
against Kansas City. His rehabilitation assignment lasted
only one game -- a 1 for 4 outing Saturday night for
Class A Bowie. "Hes doing some things now he wasnt able
to do that three or four day period he was trying to play
through it," Showalter said. "That was good to hear from
him." Steve Pearce performed well at first base and at
the plate, but Davis lobbied to return Sunday and got his
wish. "Steve Pearce is no stranger to success," Davis
said. "Hes been big for us the last couple of years and
hes done a great job. But Im tired of seeing him hit home
runs." Astros manager Bo Porter was hoping Davis might
remain on the DL at least another day, through the end
the three-game series that concluded Sunday. "I thought
he was going to stay down in Bowie," Porter joked. "We
might just walk him four times. No, hes a good player.
But you make quality pitches you have a good chance of
getting him out. Im sure theyre excited to have him
back." schaller-bruins-jersey/">Tim Schaller Jersey .com) -

The NFL Players Association is asking player agents to
warn clients that signing with the New Orleans Saints
could subject them to unfavourable workers compensation
benefits. In an email Friday, NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith
said union officials believe agents should "consider the
Saints efforts" to push for legislation that would
substantially reduce benefits to players who are hurt
outside the 17-week regular season, when player salaries
are paid. Players receive only per diems during off-
season workouts and training camp. Under legislation
which has passed the Louisiana House of Representatives
and awaits consideration in the state Senate, workers
compensation benefits could be based on per diems —
rather than the full annual value of a contract — if
injuries occurred in the off-season. "We are actively
involved in the effort to defeat this bill but we feel it
is important for you to consider the Saints efforts given
your representation of our players and the advice you
would have to give to any free agent player considering
an opportunity to play for the Saints," Smith wrote.
"Please advise your players of the potential consequences
of the Saints efforts should they sign with the Saints."
Bill supporters say it would place athletes under the
same rules as other Louisiana employees. The Saints have
not commented on the legislation since its introduction
in the House of Representatives, but quarterback Drew
Brees has come out publicly against it. In a written
statement distributed by the NFLPA, Brees said the
legislation "is not good for Saints players, not good for
our team or other sports teams in Louisiana and not good
for our state." "The job of legislators in Louisiana is
to protect injured workers and fight for theiir workers
comp benefits, not find ways to support bills like this
one which reduce the workers comp benefits we receive
when we get hurt.dddddddddddd There is no financial
benefit to the state with this bill, only team
management," Brees continued. "Whether we get hurt during
the season or in the preseason, it is all the same. It is
in preparation to help us win a championship for our
community." The legislation, called House Bill 1069, aims
to calculate workers compensation benefits for pro
athletes based only on recent earnings. The NFLs
collective bargaining agreement has a formula that also
includes future earnings and is aimed at ensuring that
benefits are calculated on the full annual value of a
players contract. The bill is sponsored by state Reps.
Chris Broadwater, R-Hammond, and Cameron Henry, R-
Metairie. Broadwater has said the Saints asked for the
bill, which aims to clarify in law that pro athletes
cannot be exempt from a state formula that applies to
every other Louisiana employee seeking workers
compensation benefits after a workplace injury. The NFLPA
counters that athletes should not be punished with
potentially reduced benefits simply because their
salaries are not distributed evenly over a 52-week
period. In past years, the same matter has spawned
several lawsuits between the Saints and former players —
with differing outcomes depending on the venue. A state
appeals courts in Jefferson Parish, home of Saints
headquarters, has sided with the clubs assertion that
players must follow precisely the same formula as other
Louisiana employees. However, an appeals court in Orleans
Parish, where the Superdome is located, has ruled that
the annual value of player contracts should serve as the
basis for benefits, regardless of when the injury occurs.
