AMERICAN LEAGUE
Rangers at Royals
Texas: OF Rusty Greer was put back on the disabled list with recurring lower back and hip pain. He had only one at-bat after coming off the disabled list on Thursday. He returned Monday to the Dallas area, where he is to be examined by Dr. Andrew Dossett. ... INF Donnie Sadler cleared waivers and was an offered an outright assignment to Oklahoma in the Pacific Coast League. Sadler had 72 hours to decide on whether to accept the assignment.

Kansas City: Royals starting pitchers had a 3.55 ERA in the first 21 games under new pitching coach John Cumberland. Before Cumberland replaced Al Nipper as the pitching coach, the starters had a 5.24 ERA. ... RHP Runelvys Hernandez became the 13th starting pitcher used by the Royals this season. He was the ninth Royal to pick his major league debut in 2002. ... OF Chuck Knoblauch, who went on the disabled list June 6 with a left forearm strain, reported Monday to Double-A Wichita to begin an injury rehabilitation assignment.

Red Sox at Tigers
Boston: While many continue to clamor for the Red Sox to make a trade, perhaps for Cleveland's Jim Thome or the New York Mets' Mo Vaughn, manager Grady Little refuses to get caught up in the commotion. "Throughout the history of the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees rivalry, there's always been serious competition,'' Little said. "So, any time one of the clubs goes out and makes a move, people believe the other team should do something. But we like our club. We could fine-tune it some, but we like our players and if the players we have do what they're capable of doing, we'll be fine.'' ... Little, searching for ways to create a spark in the batting order, chose to move Nomar Garciaparra up to the leadoff from the third of fourth in the lineup, and to move Johnny Damon from leadoff to ninth in the order. "It's not a permanent move, but we need to jump start things,'' Little said. "We've been one or two hits away from changing the outcome of some games, so maybe something different will help us.'' ... The Red Sox placed LHP Alan Embree on the 15-day disabled list Monday to make room for RHP Rolando Arrojo, who was activated to start against the Tigers.

Detroit: Bobby Higginson, who was publicly critical of the Jeff Weaver trade, met with team president and general manager Dave Dombrowski before Monday's game. "We had a meeting, that's all I'm going to say,'' Higginson said. Higginson did say that he was not asked to waive the no-trade clause in his contract. ... George Lombard was in Wendell Magee's place in center field once again on Monday. "I just don't see a future here for me,'' Magee said. "I've been here three years now and it seems like it's always something that they have this idea that I'm the fourth outfielder. If that's the way they feel about me, cool, but I'd like to go somewhere else. I should be given that opportunity to play every day. It's not like we're in a race or anything.'' ... Closer Matt Anderson, who went on the 60-day DL on June 9 with shoulder problems, began throwing again for the first time over the weekend. He said he will throw every other day. "I totally expect to get at least a month of pitching in before this season is over,'' Anderson said.

Yankees at Blue Jays
New York: C Jorge Posada wasn't with the team because his wife gave birth early Monday morning. "They were all up all night. I think the baby was born at 5 o'clock this morning,'' manager Joe Torre said. Torre hoped Posada would rejoin the team on Tuesday because the Yankees don't have a backup C on the roster. Torre said he probably would play 3B Robin Ventura at C in an emergency. ... RF Raul Mondesi returned to the lineup Monday, three days after crashing into an outfield wall. While Mondesi chased Omar Vizquel's RBI triple in the 10th inning that gave the Indians a 2-1 victory on Friday, Mondesi's right shoulder and head slammed into the wall. X-rays on his chest and neck X-rays were negative, but he was too sore to play Saturday or Sunday. ... Closer Mariano Rivera, who blew a six-run lead in the ninth inning of Sunday's loss to Cleveland, didn't second guess himself on Monday. Rivera said some people think he's a machine. "They think I don't have blood in my arms. They think I have oil,'' Rivera said. ... Torre gave OF Rondell White a day off. John Vander Wal played LF.

Toronto: OF Jose Cruz Jr. remained day to day with a strained left hamstring. INF Dave Berg played RF. The Blue Jays don't have a fourth OF. Manager Carlos Tosca said he would use C Tom Wilson in the OF in an emergency. ... INF Chris Woodward played SS for the 17th time this season. Woodward started the season as a utility INF, but the Blue Jays believe he is a starting SS. Rookie SS Felipe Lopez didn't start for the second straight game.

Mariners at Orioles
Seattle: The Mariners optioned RHP Julio Mateo to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday and called up RHP Ryan Franklin, who came off the disabled list and started Monday against the Orioles. Piniella said Mateo (0-0, 4.29) pitched well in his 12 appearances out of the bullpen, but he liked the added flexibility Franklin gave him. "He can pitch the middle, he can pitch late, he can pitch long. He's just so versatile,'' Piniella said. ... With 1,284 wins through Sunday, Piniella found himself 196 behind Orioles Hall of Fame manager Earl Weaver (18th on the career list). "If I stick around a bit, I think I'll pass him,'' Piniella said. ... Piniella omitted 3B Jeff Cirillo from the starting lineup, saying Cirillo needed a break after a 2-for-36 slump dropped his batting average to .236. Desi Relaford got the start in his place. ... Monday marked the three-year anniversary of the opening of Safeco Field.

Baltimore: The Orioles purchased the contract of OF Howie Clark from Triple-A Rochester and designated 1B Ryan McGuire for assignment. Clark spent 10 years in the minors and a year in the Mexican League waiting for a chance to play in the big leagues. ... 1B Jeff Conine (strained hamstring) took batting practice Monday, but said it will be a while before he can leave the disabled list. "I'm just going about it cautiously,'' he said. "It hurt bad enough when I ran that I'm proceeding slowly.'' ... The Orioles needed a win Monday to avoid losing the season series to Seattle.

White Sox at Indians
Chicago: 1B Paul Konerko was not in the lineup for only the second time all season Monday, and manager Jerry Manuel said it was not because of an injury. Konerko is in an 0-for-8 slump, one of his few slides the All-Star has had all season. He leads the White Sox in games (92), average (.325), hits (112), total bases (197), homers (22) and RBI (74). "Paul has made the adjustments as a hitter,'' Manuel said. "He hits the ball the other way. He's our best at both moving the runners and driving them in. He has really grown. He is a real team leader, very responsible and mature.'' ... Despite entering Monday's game nine back of first-place Minnesota, Manuel isn't ready to concede the AL Central just yet. "I'm waiting for us to do our thing,'' Manuel said. "We are one of the few teams that has not run off a hot streak. I feel we have an outside shot.''

Cleveland: Longtime trainer Jim Warfield took ill on Monday and was being treated at the Cleveland Clinic. Warfield joined Cleveland's organization in 1969 and became the club's full-time trainer in 1971. Several of the Indians wrote "JW'' on their caps in tribute to the popular Warfield. ... Interestingly, Bill Selby's walk-off grand slam against the Yankees on Sunday was the first against New York since 1988 when Detroit's Alan Trammell. New York's catcher was Cleveland manager Joel Skinner. ... RHP Dave Elder got another surprise on Monday when he was brought up the Indians. Last winter, Elder was playing in Venezuela when he learned he had been traded by Texas to Cleveland. "My manager (Phil Regan) came up and said, 'Hey, who do you play for in the States?' And I said, 'Texas,''' Elder recalled. "He said, 'Want to bet?' And I said, 'Sure.' Then he said, 'You've been traded for John Rocker.' That's when I said, "Now I know you're lying. It was a very big shock.'' Elder, 26, was acquired in a December trade for the controversial Rocker.

Athletics at Devil Rays
Oakland: Manager Art Howe said RHP Cory Lidle will remain in the starting rotation. Lidle, who was the losing pitcher as Baltimore beat Oakland 6-3 Sunday, is 2-8 with a 5.57 ERA. Should Howe change his mind later this season, rookie RHP Aaron Harang could be moved from bullpen. ... Howe said he is not surprised the AL West race is wide open. "I thought it might even be a four-team race,'' Howe said. "Texas' lineup is a scary lineup. They can put double-digit runs on you every single night you play them.'' The Rangers were 17 games back of the Mariners through Sunday. ... The Athletics will honor the 1972 World Series championship team before Saturday's game against Texas. Manager Dick Williams, and former players including Gene Tenace, Joe Rudi, Vida Blue, Dick Green and John "Blue Moon'' Odom are expected to attend. Oakland will throw throwback gold jerseys, while the Rangers will sport 1962 Washington Senators uniforms.

Tampa Bay: Cincinnati is extensively scouting Devil Rays' games. ... LHP Wilson Alvarez, who missed the past two seasons with a left rotator cuff injury, was being examined by team doctors Monday. Alvarez reported discomfort after allowing five runs in 1 2-3 innings Sunday against Seattle. "He's being checked,'' manager Hal McRae said. "We've got a few days to decide what we're going to do'' Alvarez is in the final season of $35 million, five-year contract. ... LF/DH Greg Vaughn (right shoulder) hit off a tee for the first time since going on the disabled list June 23. "No pain,'' Vaughn said. "It's getting better. It's getting stronger. It's a good day.'' ... McRae said LHP Joe Kennedy will start Friday's game at Toronto. That is the day Kennedy will complete a seven-game suspension for throwing at a batter last month. ... Minor league pitcher Gerardo Garcia, who was on the World team at the Futures Game earlier this month, left his start Sunday for Triple-A Durham after two-thirds of an inning with a blister.

Angels at Twins
Anaheim: The Angels reliever Dennis Cook was going to have arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder, but he changed his mind and decided to opt for rehabilitation. An MRI exam Monday in Los Angeles showed a torn labrum and partial tear of the rotator cuff in Cook's shoulder. The team set no timetable for his return, but manager Mike Scioscia said before Monday's game in Minnesota that Cook wouldn't be able to pitch anymore this season. Cook, 39, began his career in 1988 with San Francisco. He was 1-1 with a 2.86 ERA in 22 innings this year before being placed on the disabled list Saturday, but an injury at his age raises the question of whether he'll come back. "I think we'll have to leave it open ended,'' Scioscia said. "You never know. Dennis has had a good career, but if the desire and drive to pitch is still there I think he'll give it a shot. We'll have to wait until after the surgery.'' ... Anaheim's bullpen is already shorthanded with RHP Al Levine (right shoulder tendinitis) on the DL and closer Troy Percival also hurt. Percival was placed on the disabled list, retroactive to Friday, with an infected cut near his left Achilles' tendon. He sustained the scrape while boating during the All-Star break. ... Matt Wise was recalled from Triple-A Edmonton to take Percival's place.

Minnesota: The Twins have a plethora of pitchers on rehab assignments. Reliever Bob Wells (elbow) was scheduled to pitch Monday night for Triple-A Edmonton, and starter Joe Mays (elbow) was supposed to throw for Double-A New Britain. Right-handers Matt Kinney (shoulder) and Jack Cressend (shoulder) are in Fort Myers with the Twins' Gulf Coast League team, which is where ace Brad Radke is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday. ... Radke threw live batting practice and nearly got hit in the kneecap by a line drive hit by Matthew LeCroy, and all who witnessed the session said Radke used all his pitches and threw well. ... RHP Jose Rodriguez spent Sunday night in the hospital with blockage in a vein in his upper left arm. He underwent more tests Monday. ... 1B Garrett Jones his four homers Sunday for Twins Class A affiliate Quad City, becoming the first player in the Midwest League in more than 24 years to do so. He has eight homers on the season.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
Phillies at Expos
Philadelphia: The Phillies began the night 3-7 against Montreal this season, including 0-3 at Olympic Stadium after being swept from May 24-26. ... Philadelphia, which split a four-game series in New York to begin its six-game road trip, has won 12 of its last 17 road games. ... 1B Travis Lee is second in the league in fielding at his position with one error in 749 chances for a .999 fielding percentage. St. Louis' Tino Martinez also has one error in 10 more total chances. ... The Phillies were just 14-for-84 (.167) with the bases loaded this season.

Montreal: The Expos were a major league-best 29-14 at home after winning the last two games against Atlanta to split their four-game series against the NL East leaders. ... RF Vladimir Guerrero has six walks in his last two games and none were intentional. Nineteen of Guerrero's 50 walks this season have been intentional. Guerrero drew a career-high 60 walks last season, including 24 intentional walks. ... The Expos have homered in eight straight games, hitting a total of 16 home runs since July 4.

Marlins at Mets
Florida: The Marlins wore retro uniforms from the 1952 Miami Marlins, a Triple-A team in the International League run by Bill Veeck. The jerseys were gray with blue writing outlined in orange, and the caps were bluevin Brown, whom Daal replaced in the rotation. Brown, recovering from back surgery on June 11, has made only 28 starts over the last two seasons after averaging 34 starts over the previous four years. ... LHP Kazuhisa Ishii leads the Dodgers in strikeouts (105) and walks (69). Only two lefties have led the club in both categories at the end of s season since the franchise moved to Los Angeles in 1958 -- Sandy Koufax (1966) and Fernando Valenzuela (1981 through 1985). ... RHP Darren Dreifort pitched a simulated game Monday for the first time since his elbow surgery last July. "He threw all of his pitches, and that was encouraging,'' manager Jim Tracy said. ... With 21 stolen bases in 26 attempts, leadoff batter Dave Roberts needed just one more to match the total Tom Goodwin led the Dodgers with in 28 tries last season. ... Shawn Green, whose 24 homers since May 21 are the most in the majors during that span, had only one in eight games prior to Monday night. ... Paul Quantrill has allowed only one home run in 44 innings this season. Terry Mulholland has surrendered nine homers in just 23 2-3 innings. ... Paul Lo Duca entered Monday with a team-high .313 average despite only two hits in his previous 18 at-bats.

New York: All-Star C Mike Piazza was scratched from the starting lineup because of a sore lower back. "He probably could play tonight if we needed him,'' manager Bobby Valentine said. ... RHP Steve Trachsel, on the disabled list with a strained back muscle, will make a rehabilitation start for Double-A Binghamton on Tuesday, the same day he is eligible to come off the DL. Mets general manager Steve Phillips expects that to be Trachsel's only rehab assignment before rejoining the team. ... John Valentin started at SS in place of Rey Ordonez, bothered slightly by a sore ring finger he hurt while diving into first base Sunday. ... The Mets wore their 1986 uniforms, and a highlight video from that championship season was shown during batting practice. "I should have worn my bowtie today,'' Phillips said, a reference to former GM Frank Cashen, who put the '86 team together. Cashen was nicknamed "The Bowtie'' for his penchant for wearing them. All the music during the game was also from 1986.

Braves at Cubs
Atlanta: The Braves' brief two-game series with the Cubs is their only appearance at Wrigley Field this season. ... Greg Maddux, who hurt his calf Friday while running the bases in Montreal, is fine and won't miss his next start. "Greg threw fine yesterday and as far as I know, he's OK,'' manager Bobby Cox said. ... Albie Lopez rejoined the Braves from the disabled list, replacing Darren Holmes, who lacerated his right thumb when he fell over a curb in Montreal on Friday. Lopez had been on the DL since June 28 with tendinitis of the right shoulder. Holmes was put on the DL retroactive to July 7. ... Cox brushed up on the baseball labor situation by reading a weekly magazine in the dugout while the Cubs were taking batting practice.

Chicago: On '70s night at Wrigley Field, Sammy Sosa donned an afro wig, sun glasses and a heavy chain before meeting Tony Orlando and then taking batting practice. Orlando -- without "Dawn'' -- wore a Sosa jersey while singing a pregame medley of his greatest hits. ... Interim manager Bruce Kimm's major change to the lineup since replacing Don Baylor has been dropping Corey Patterson from leadoff to No. 6 in the order and placing Mark Bellhorn at top of the lineup. In four starts as the leadoff hitter, Bellhorn responded well, going 6 for-16 with four walks and six runs scored. ... Kimm said communication with players won't be a problem with him. "I just go up and talk to them,'' he said. "I want my players to be happy and enjoy themselves.'' And once a game is over, he said, it's time to move on. "When you have a rough game, turn the page. You don't have time to worry about struggling. You have to go about your business.''

Pirates at Astros
Pittsburgh: In the first two weeks of July, the Pirates had 17 home runs, well ahead of their previous month paces when they had 12 in April, and 24 in each of the months of May and June. ... Double plays have gone Pittsburgh's way lately. Entering Monday's game, the Pirates had at least one double play in each of the last 10 games and had not had a double play turned against them since July 5 vs. The Astros at PNC Park.

Houston: Despite ending a five-game winning streak on Sunday, the Astros still feel they have momentum with 11 wins in 14 games. "That was just a bump in the road,'' C Gregg Zaun said of the 8-3 loss to Cincinnati. "We've been playing real well lately and I think we will continue to play well.'' ... The Astros farm system continues to lead all organizations with a .577 winning percentage (237-174). Triple-A New Orleans leads the Pacific Coast League East Division, while Double-A Round Rock took the Texas League first-half West Division title and Class-A Michigan won the Midwest League Eastern Division first-half title.

Reds at Brewers
Cincinnati: C Kelly Stinnett was recalled from a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville and reinstated Monday. C Corky Miller was optioned to Louisville. Stinnett had been on rehab with tendinitis in his right elbow. ... The Reds were set to tie a club record Monday for the longest time without a complete game (92 games). LHP Lance Davis pitched the last complete game on July 16 of last year, in a 9-1 win over Detroit. ... RHP Chris Reitsma brought a career-high losing streak into Monday's game with seven straight losses. His last victory was May 21, 3-0 over Florida.

Milwaukee: Richie Sexson started at first base for the second straight game Monday and hopes to stay in the lineup, but nagging tendinitis in his left hamstring has his manager Jerry Royster concerned. ... RHP Nick Neugebauer did some soft tossing Monday and will throw off the mound again on Tuesday. GM Dean Taylor said the Brewers might know by the end of the week if Neugebauer, who has been plagued by shoulder problems, is ready to go on a rehab assignment. Neugebauer celebrated his 22nd birthday Monday. ... The Brewers went into Monday's game with the best batting average since May 25 (.286), just ahead of the Yankees at .283. ...

St. Louis: Andy Benes is to come off the 60-day DL on Tuesday to start against the Dodgers -- his first appearance since April 15. Benes has been sidelined because of an arthritic right knee. ... Rookie RHP Jason Simontacchi, who pitches Wednesday night against San Francisco, has a chance to join RHP Bob Tewksbury (1994) and Garrett Stephenson (2000) as the only Cardinals starters to begin a season 8-1 since Joaquin Andujar won 12 of his first 13 decisions in 1985. ... The Cardinals haven't made a trade with the Dodgers since Aug. 16, 1988, when they acquired LF Pedro Guerrero for LHP John Tudor. It's their longest drought on the trading block with any NL team. ... The Central Division-leading Cardinals entered Monday 19-22 on the road. No NL or AL club has won its division with a losing road record since 1998, when Texas took the AL West despite a 40-41 road mark. The last time it happened in the NL was 1997, when Central Division champ Houston was 38-43.

Los Angeles: LHP Omar Daal, who began the season in the bullpen, made his 10th start on Monday night. He now has one more than injury-plagued Kevin Brown, whom Daal replaced in the rotation. Brown, recovering from back surgery on June 11, has made only 28 starts over the last two seasons after averaging 34 starts over the previous four years. ... LHP Kazuhisa Ishii leads the Dodgers in strikeouts (105) and walks (69). Only two lefties have led the club in both categories at the end of s season since the franchise moved to Los Angeles in 1958 -- Sandy Koufax (1966) and Fernando Valenzuela (1981 through 1985). ... RHP Darren Dreifort pitched a simulated game Monday for the first time since his elbow surgery last July. "He threw all of his pitches, and that was encouraging,'' manager Jim Tracy said. ... With 21 stolen bases in 26 attempts, leadoff batter Dave Roberts needs just one more to match the total Tom Goodwin led the Dodgers with in 28 tries last season. ... Shawn Green, whose 24 homers since May 21 are the most in the majors during that span, had only one in eight games prior to Monday night. ... Paul Quantrill has allowed only one home run in 44 innings this season. Terry Mulholland has surrendered nine homers in just 23 2-3 innings. ... Paul Lo Duca entered Monday with a team-high .313 average despite only two hits in his previous 18 at-bats.

Diamondbacks at Giants
Arizona: The Diamondbacks have a two-game set against the Giants followed by another two-game set against the Rockies in Colorado. ... RHP Rick Helling was starting his 164th straight game Monday night against the Giants. He has not missed a start because of injury since joining the Texas rotation on Aug. 18, 1997. ... LHP Randy Johnson, set to start Tuesday against the Giants, has gone three straight starts without a win, going 0-1. His last win was at Houston on June 26. ... Byung-Hyun Kim was named NL Player of the Week for three straight saves on consecutive days against Los Angeles. ... 3B Matt Williams, who missed the first 87 games of the season with a broken leg and dislocated left ankle, was not in the lineup Monday night after playing three games in Los Angeles.

San Francisco: Manager Dusty Baker said facing Randy Johnson on Tuesday is hardly daunting to the Giants. "We've beaten Randy before. We've beaten Schilling before. I think our record is pretty close to .500 against each of them,'' Baker said. Johnson is 4-3 with a 2.94 ERA is 10 career starts against the Giants. ... Baker needs three more victories to reach 800, becoming the third Giants' manager with as many wins, behind John McGraw and Bill Terry. ... Going into Monday night's game, the Giants led the NL with 104 double plays. ... After the short two-game set against the Diamondbacks, the Giants open a five-game road trip with a two-game series against St. Louis before a weekend set against the Dodgers. "It's easier for us to prep for this series against Arizona because we just saw them four games ago,'' Baker said. "We haven't seen St. Louis at all.''

Rockies at Padres
Colorado: RHP Denny Stark returned to the starting rotation Monday night against San Diego, making his first start since June 3 against Los Angeles. He spent the last 1½ months in the bullpen, going 1-0 with a 2.40 ERA in 12 appearances. In five starts this season, he went 3-1 with a 3.34 ERA. He became the fifth pitcher in club history to win his first three starts. ... Going into Monday's game, the Rockies-Padres all-time series was tied 64-64.

San Diego: RHP Adam Eaton, on a rehab assignment from reconstructive surgery on his pitching elbow a year ago, threw batting practice Monday. ... LHP Kevin Walker, who had reconstructive surgery on his pitching elbow in August, will begin a rehab assignment on Thursday. General manager Kevin Towers said both Eaton and Walker will probably each make a start in September, and that both will probably play winter ball. "We're going to be cautious with these guys,'' Towers said. ... Towers said rookie Sean Burroughs will probably be back up with the Padres in another month. On the disabled list, Burroughs is on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Portland. Burroughs is learning to play second base, which will allow Phil Nevin to stay at third and Ryan Klesko at first. In spring training, the Padres moved Nevin to 1B and Klesko to RF to make room for the highly touted Burroughs. Burroughs struggled, largely because of a shoulder injury that occurred in September while playing in Triple-A. He was benched on May 27 and Nevin moved back to third. Burroughs was put on the DL on May 30, retroactive to May 29, with a slight tear in his right rotator cuff. He was batting .221.
