 The Indians placed Gomes on the 15-day disabled list Sunday, one day
after he injured his knee in the ninth inning of Cleveland's 9-6
loss to the Detroit Tigers.
He had his right foot planted on the plate on a force play and
Tigers outfielder Rajai Davis slid hard into Gomes' foot.
The Indians announced that an MRI exam confirmed that Gomes
sustained a moderate sprain of the MCL (medial collateral ligament).

The Colorado Rockies placed right-handed reliever John Axford on the
family medical emergency list to tend to his young son, who was
bitten by a rattlesnake last month in Arizona.
Axford said his son had surgery Monday on his right foot to remove
necrotic tissue, but doctors found a staph infection that was more
serious than they expected.
The Rockies purchased the contract of right-hander Scott Oberg from
Triple-A Albuquerque.
To make room for Oberg on the team's 40-man roster, the Rockies
transferred infielder Charlie Culberson (lumbar disc) from the
15-day to the 60-day disabled list.

off the tip of his ring finger.

Seattle Mariners right-hander Felix Hernandez was removed from
Sunday's game against the Oakland Athletics after the fifth inning
for precautionary reasons because of tightness in his right quad.
With two outs in the bottom of the fifth and two runners on,
Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon and a team trainer visited
Hernandez on the mound. Hernandez stayed in the game and retired
first baseman Ike Davis on a ground ball. However, Hernandez did not
return to the mound for the sixth inning. (Editing by Gene Cherry)
