Cincinnati Reds: Shortstop Barry Larkin reinjured his left calf and came out of Tuesday night's game in St. Louis.

Larkin pulled up while running the bases in the second inning and was removed for a pinch-runner. The Reds said he strained his left calf and will be evaluated Wednesday. He is day-to-day.

"We're certainly concerned about it, but he doesn't feel and the doctor doesn't feel this is as bad as what he did before," manager Bob Boone said. "But we're pretty strapped in the infield, so we'll see how he wakes up tomorrow."

An injury to the same calf put Larkin on the disabled list from April 14 to May 5. He was playing in his sixth game since being activated.

"Hopefully, it's not as bad as it was when I did it at Houston," Larkin said. "I had some of the same sensations; I felt like I actually tore something in there. Hopefully, it was scar tissue."

It appeared Larkin injured his leg going from first to third on a single by Sean Casey, and he limped off the field with the assistance of a trainer.

Felipe Lopez replaced Larkin on the bases and in the field in the bottom of the second. Larkin was batting .265 with one home run and four RBIs in 49 at-bats. He walked and scored in the Reds' five-run first inning.

Boston Red Sox: Right-hander Robert Person was activated from the 15-day disabled list and right-hander Steve Woodard was sent to Triple-A Pawtucket.

Person, signed in spring training as a free agent, threw five innings in spring training for Boston with a 7.20 ERA. He then made three rehabilitation appearances at Class-A Sarasota and six more at Pawtucket, where he had a save and a 4.70 ERA.

Woodard was 1-0 with a 5.09 ERA in seven appearances in his first season with Boston. He appeared in 14 games last season for Texas and has also pitched for Milwaukee and Cleveland.

Houston Astros: Infielder Julio Lugo cleared waivers Tuesday and was given his unconditional release.

Lugo was arrested April 30 following a loss to the Atlanta Braves and charged with misdemeanor assault for allegedly attacking his wife at Minute Maid Park before the game.

Lugo, who had been the team's starting shortstop, batted .246 with two RBI in 65 at-bats this season with the Astros. He made three errors.

Los Angeles Dodgers: Left-hander Troy Brohawn was placed on the 15-day disabled list, because of tendinitis in his rotator cuff, and lefty Steve Colyer was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Brohawn, 30, is 2-0 with a 3.86 ERA in 12 appearances and 13 strikeouts in 11 2/3 innings. He pitched in the ninth inning of Monday night's 11-4 loss to Atlanta, allowing an RBI single by Andruw Jones and a three-run homer to Javy Lopez.

Colyer, 24, is making his first trip to the majors after five minor league seasons. He was primarily a starter before last season, when he pitched his first year of Double-A ball with Jacksonville (Fla.) and was converted into a reliever.

Montreal Expos: A federal judge ordered baseball to give her court 90 days' notice of any attempt to move or sell the team.

Judge Ursula Ungaro-Benages of the U.S. District Court in Miami issued the order as part of a lawsuit by former limited partners of the Expos against former controlling owner Jeffrey Loria, commissioner Bud Selig and several other baseball officials.

Northern Virginia, Portland, Ore., and Washington, D.C., are trying to land the Expos, and baseball's committee on the Expos meets Wednesday to prepare a briefing for the meeting of all owners the following day.

Bob DuPuy, baseball's chief operating officer, said Tuesday that no major decisions on the Expos will be made at this week's meetings, but that owners will vote Thursday on the proposed sale of the Anaheim Angels from The Walt Disney Co. to Arturo Moreno, a deal worth about $185 million.

Baseball officials have said they hope to have a decision on the Expos by the All-Star break in mid-July.

Pittsburgh Pirates: Right-hander Josh Fogg could be headed to an injury rehabilitation assignment if he doesn't feel any pain Tuesday.

Fogg, who's been out since straining an oblique muscle April 20 against the Cubs, threw 45 pitches on the PNC Park indoor mound Monday and didn't report any problems.

He could be cleared to join a minor-league team for at least one start and could pitch either Thursday or Friday.

St. Louis Cardinals: Outfielder and backup catcher Eli Marrero was placed on the 15-day disabled list, and the Cardinals called up two players to replace him.

Marrero had surgery to repair two torn ligaments in his right ankle Tuesday and will be out at least two months, team physician Dr. George Paletta said.

The Cardinals purchased the contract of catcher Chris Widger from Triple-A Memphis, recalled outfielder Kerry Robinson and optioned left-hander Kevin Ohme to Memphis.

St. Louis also transferred catcher Joe Girardi, out since spring training with a back injury, from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day DL. Girardi is eligible to be activated May 29.

A 3-inch screw was inserted in Marrero's ankle during the operation to hold the tibia and fibula together, allowing the ligaments to reattach to the bones. He'll be on crutches for at least three weeks.

"The best-case scenario is eight weeks," Paletta said.

Tampa Bay Devil Rays: Prospect Josh Hamilton will miss the rest of the season after being granted permission to leave the organization to handle unspecified personal problems.

Hamilton, the first overall pick in the 1999 amateur draft, reported to Double-A Orlando on May 3 after taking six weeks off for personal reasons, which the Devil Rays have declined to discuss. He was expected to work out for about a week and begin playing last weekend.

When he joined Orlando, the 21-year-old outfielder said that during the leave he took in spring training he sought counseling for depression caused by a serious illness in his family.

Hamilton requested and received a personal leave for the rest of the season Monday, Tampa Bay said in a brief statement Tuesday.

"The purpose of the leave is to provide Josh an opportunity to address certain private, non-baseball matters," the team said.

Hamilton received a $3.96 million signing bonus coming out of high school, but he has yet to play a full season in the minor leagues because of injuries.

Sandberg recalled: Infielder Jared Sandberg, who hit .236 with five homers and 12 RBI in 34 games at Triple-A Durham, was recalled. Sandberg replaced right-hander Jorge Sosa, who was optioned to Durham on Sunday.

Manager Lou Piniella said Durham right-hander Jeremi Gonzalez will replace Sosa in the rotation. Gonzalez is to be activated before his first start, on Saturday.
