ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Cardinals put utilityman Matt Carpenter on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday because of a strained right side muscle. Carpenter was batting .288 with three home runs and 20 RBIs in 39 games with most of his starts at first base in place of injured Lance Berkman. Carpenter is the fifth player the team has put on the DL this week, following Jon Jay, Allen Craig, Kyle McClellan and Lance Berkman. St. Louis has seven players on the DL altogether. "Its part of the gig, I knew that going in," manager Mike Matheny said. "Theres a twisted side of most of us that when those challenges come up its hey, you kind of throw your shoulders back a little bit further and here we go." Rookie Matt Adams made his fourth start at first base Wednesday against the Padres. Carpenter was hurt coming out of the batters box on a double in the first inning Tuesday. The Cardinals were optimistic after the game that Carpenter might miss only a few games because he was able to torque his body and didnt feel much pain. "The MRI showed something in there," Matheny said. "I think hes got a really high pain tolerance to where it just didnt seem like it was that big of a deal, but it is." The Cardinals purchased the contract of catcher Steven Hill from Triple-A Memphis. The 27-year-old Hill has also started at first base, left field and right field, and homered in consecutive games Sunday and Monday. "Hes been swinging the bat pretty well and has a little bit of versatility," Matheny said. "It seemed like the choice for the time." Third baseman David Freese was back in the lineup after sitting two games, a mental and physical break for a player in a 3-for-34 slump.

Quinten Rollins Womens Jersey. -- Vladimir Tkachev scored his second goal of the game 16:58 into overtime as the Moncton Wildcats took Game 2 against the host Blainville-Boisbriand Armada 6-5 on Friday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League playoff action.Secure in his position and having experienced his first win with Toronto, Peter Horachek will try to lead the Maple Leafs to more victories during another road-heavy stretch. That will begin with a visit to the slumping Los Angeles Kings, who are expected to play without two of their top goal scorers in Tanner Pearson and Tyler Toffoli on Monday night. Jonathan Bernier gets the nod in net for the Leafs and the Kings will counter with Martin Jones. Toronto president Brendan Shanahan said Friday that Horachek will remain interim coach for the rest of the season. The Maple Leafs (22-17-3) followed with a 5-2 home victory over Columbus that night in his second game since taking over for the fired Randy Carlyle. James van Riemsdyk concluded his teams four-goal outburst in the opening period, finishing with two goals and an assist. The Maple Leafs gave up 20 shots, their second-lowest total of the season, and outshot the Blue Jackets 17-8 in the first 20 minutes. Im going to have to push them to do it again. Im going to have to continue to prod and push, Horachek said. When you can have some success like tonight, I think the guys feel good about themselves. We need that. They have to know thats that how we want to play. Toronto plays nine of its next 11 on the road, where its dropped six of eight. That begins with a four-game trip that includes three stops in California. The Maple Leafs will try for a fourth consecutive win in Los Angeles as they look to send the Kings (19-13-10) to a season high-tying fourth straight defeat. Los Angeles has gone 0-1-2 to open a season-high seven-game homestand, and a 5-4 shootout defeat to Winnipeg on Saturday was the clubs fifth loss in six contests overall.dddddddddddd The Kings rallied from an early 3-0 deficit to take a lead in the third period but gave up the tying goal with 5:56 left in regulation. Theyve allowed 15 non-shootout goals in their last three games. I feel like a broken record here, but everyone has to step up, myself included. We all have to take a little more ownership in our game, defenseman Alec Martinez said. If we keep on digging ourselves in a hole in the first period like weve been and giving up as many goals as weve been, its going to be pretty difficult on us. The Kings have a minus-6 goal differential in the first period of their last six games, leaving them at minus-7 in the opening 20 minutes for the season - among the worst marks in the league. Making matters worse, Pearson broke his left leg Saturday and is out indefinitely. Fellow 12-goal scorer Toffoli is also sidelined indefinitely due to a bout with mononucleosis. The Kings lost 4-3 in a shootout to Toronto on Dec. 14. They rallied from a 2-0 deficit and went ahead in the third before van Riemsdyk scored with 11:11 left. We have to play better defensively than we played them (in Toronto), Horachek said. In their building, its going to be difficult. The Maple Leafs, though, rallied for a 3-2 win in their most recent trip to Los Angeles on March 13 with van Riemsdyk assisting on the tiebreaking short-handed goal. He has three goals and three assists in seven career matchups. The Kings Marian Gaborik has 12 goals and five assists in his last 10 games against Toronto. cheap nfl jerseys? cheap jerseys?cheap jerseys?cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
