White Sox P Threets to have Tommy John surgery

Baseball Betting Lines

08/28/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago White Sox have placed reliever Erick Threets on the 15-day disabled list with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow.

The left-hander allowed just one unearned run in 11 appearances over 12 1/3 innings since having his contract purchased from Triple-A Charlotte in late June. He was also sidelined earlier this month with turf toe.

It's expected he will undergo Tommy John surgery in the near future after suffering the injury during Friday's game versus the Yankees.

To fill the spot on the roster, Chicago recalled pitcher Carlos Torres from Charlotte. Torres, a right-hander, was 9-9 with a 3.52 earned-run average in 26 games (24 starts) with the Triple-A affiliate. He made one start for the White Sox earlier this month and gave up five runs on nine hits and five walks in six innings of a 7-1 loss to Detroit.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
