HOUSTON -- The Texas Rangers put left-handers Matt Harrison and Martin Perez on the disabled list Wednesday, and could be without both starters for an extended period. General manager Jon Daniels said that Harrison was diagnosed with significant nerve irritation in his vertebrae. He will have an injection Friday in an attempt to alleviate the symptoms before considering other options, including surgery. Harrison, who made only two starts last season before two operations on a herniated disk in his lower back, came out in the second inning of his start Tuesday night at Houston. Daniels said the pitcher had a tingling sensation down his left leg, similar to what he experienced before having surgery last year. Perez has a partial tear of his ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow. He could have an injection and rehab that could keep him out three months, or possibly have Tommy John surgery and miss a year. Right-hander Nick Tepesch was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock for his scheduled start Wednesday night against Houston. The Rangers also purchased the contracts of right-handers Scott Baker and Miles Mikolas from Round Rock, and designated right-hander Justin Germano for assignment. Tepesch was starting in place of Yu Darvish, who threw 126 pitches in his near no-hitter Friday night. The Japanese ace was given extended rest and is set to start Friday at home against Toronto. When Tepesch took the mound against the Astros, he became the 22nd different player to pitch for the Rangers this season and the 38th player overall. Both are the most in the majors. Texas has 13 players on the disabled list. Among the other hurt Rangers is left-handed starter Derek Holland, who is rehabbing from off-season left knee surgery after being tripped by his dog on the stairs in his home. Holland, who has been throwing live batting practice at the Rangers complex in Arizona, is scheduled to be in Arlington this weekend for an evaluation and to throw for Rangers coaches. He is still several weeks away from a possible return. Perez allowed six runs and 14 runners (nine hits, four walks and a hit batter) in 3 2-3 innings of an 8-3 loss to Boston on Saturday night, and reported discomfort in his elbow the following day. Since the end of his 26-inning scoreless streak over three games, Perez (4-3) has given up 19 runs over 13 1-3 innings in his past three games. Rangers team physician Dr. Keith Meister diagnosed the partial tear for Perez. Dr. James Andrews also reviewed the MRI and agreed that was the issue. Harrison was examined Wednesday by Dr. Drew Dossett, who did the two operations last year. Daniels said there was no evidence of disk herniation, but that the spondylolisthesis Harrison is now experiencing was considered a possible risk after the operations -- "If it didnt work as you would hope, this would be the outcome. Unfortunately, thats come to pass," the GM said. The options for Harrison included rehab and to live with the problem or have surgery that Daniels described as spinal fusion. Daniels said players have returned to the major leagues after have such fusions, but there are no guarantees. "Its more involved surgery and changes of coming back are lesser than some of the more traditional baseball surgeries," Daniels said. "If he did opt to have surgery, he would be out for the year with a chance to rehab and come in and compete in spring training." Infielder Donnie Murphy (neck strain) and left-hander Joe Saunders (left ankle) are scheduled to begin injury rehabilitation assignments with Round Rock on Thursday night. It will be the first rehab game for Murphy and the third for Saunders, who made only his first start of the season for the Rangers. Harry Maguire Jersey .

Buffalos defensive co-ordinator had his second interview with Cleveland owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner on Tuesday night, a person familiar with the Browns plans told The Associated Press.SANTA CLARA, Calif. - 49ers tight end Vance McDonald expects to play Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.The playing status of Vernon Davis is less certain.McDonald, recovering from a knee injury, went through a personalized workout Friday and then ran routes, and afterward said he was ready to go.Im confident I can go Sunday, McDonald said. Running routes felt great.McDonald hurt his knee during the 49ers loss to the Chicago Bears two weeks ago and has been limited to personal training as established by the team trainers.Its something I had to work through, McDonald said. Weve been using caution; its all about Sunday.The second-year tight end said he did well at Fridays workout, which tested his knee from every angle.Im pretty happy, McDonald said. I was impatient and wanted to do more work after I was finished for the day, but the trainers kept me on a schedule and theyve done a great job of getting me back in a timely fashion.McDonald, who has one catch for 9 yards on the season, would give the 49ers more options. They relied on a five-receiver set in last weeks loss to the Arizona Cardinals because of a lack of depth at tight end.Thats what I like about this team: we can line up two tight ends or go with a five-receiver set and still move the football, McDonald said. I thought they did a great job offensively.Davis refused to commit to playing, perhaps shying away after making a definitive statement last week and not playing.It will be more of a game-time decision, Davis said. Well keep working and hopefully I can be ready. I feel a lot better than last week.Davis is sore in the deltoid ligament region of his ankle, which is the area where the foot and leg meet. He said he feels it around the front of his ankle and will test it Sunday about an hour before game time.Its tough when the guys are all out there battling, Davis said.dddddddddddd. You want to be out there with them. But you cant get too overwhelmed. Ill just take it one day at a time.49ers coach Jim Harbaugh also expressed caution and optimism about Davis status, while extolling his talents in all phases of the offence.Hes one of the rare tight ends thats really good in the run game and really good in the pass game, Harbaugh said. Hes at the highest level in both.Davis also realizes his value as a run blocker.Definitely, when you can run or pass everyone gets a chance to get involved, especially Frank Gore, Davis said. We cant do too much without him. Weve got to get him going as well as Michael Crabtree and the other receivers.NOTES: Harbaugh said the reason a field goal attempt was blocked against the Cardinals, who only had nine men on the field at the time, was that half the team never got the signal that a fake was taken off. We didnt communicate the fake was off, he said. Half the line knew it was off and half the line was blocking like it was a fake. ... LB Patrick Willis said he never prepares anything ahead of delivering his pre-game speech each week. Its just something I feel during warmups as I look at the team, he said. I start to feel it and I go with whatever comes up. ... S Antonie Bethea (ankle) is listed as questionable and did not practice Friday, though its likely hell be ready to make his 100th consecutive start against the Eagles. ... C Marcus Martin (knee) is out, while CB Tramaine Brock (toe sprain) is listed as questionable, but is doubtful. T Anthony Davis (hamstring) is questionable, while Michael Crabtree (quad), Gore (back), Willis (wrist) and Justin Smith (non-injury related) are all probable.___Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Blackhawks Jerseys Store Cheap Wild Jerseys Cheap Red Wings Jerseys Cheap Maple Leafs Jerseys Penguins Jerseys Store Capitals Jerseys For Sale Blues Jerseys Store Cheap Kings Jerseys Adidas Lightning Jerseys Stars Jerseys For Sale Cheap Predators Jerseys Ducks Store Sharks Jerseys For Sale Cheap Sabres Jerseys Rangers Jerseys For Sale ' ' '
