Los Angeles Rams safety Lamarcus Joyner will begin training
camp on the non-football injury list.
The Rams made the decision Wednesday during annual preseason conditioning
tests. The club didn't disclose any details of Joyner's injury.
Joyner can return from the list at any
point Clark
Harris Jersey , and the Rams need him healthy to be a key contributor to
their defense.
The former cornerback moved to safety last season under defensive coordinator
Wade Phillips. Joyner made 49 tackles and returned one of his career-high nine
interceptions for a touchdown.
Joyner will make $11.28 million this season while playing under the franchise
tag after he failed to reach a long-term contract agreement with the Rams
earlier this month.
MIAMI ¡ª The Miami Marlins spent June engaged in methodical but fruitful climb
out of the basement in the National League East. The New York Mets can begin
July by cementing their unimaginably rapid descent to the bottom of not just the
division but the entire Senior Circuit.
The Marlins will look to move into sole possession of fourth place in the NL
East Sunday, when they look to complete a sweep of the free-falling Mets in the
finale of a three-game series at Marlins Park.
Marlins right-hander Dan Straily (3-3, 4.82 ERA) is scheduled to oppose Mets
left-hander Steven Matz (3-5, 3.69 ERA).
The Marlins came back from an early two-run deficit Saturday to earn a 5-2
win over the Mets and their ace, right-hander Jacob deGrom. The win completed
the best month of the season for Miami
(34-50) Bill
Bates Jersey , which went 14-14 while winning five of nine series.
¡°That¡¯s how you climb is continue to win series, continue to win series,¡±
Marlins manager Don Mattingly told reporters Saturday. ¡°Hopefully somewhere in
there, you throw an eight- or 10-game winning streak together to really take a
chunk out of something.¡±
The Mets (32-48) are doing the exact opposite. New York went 5-21 in June,
during which it lost eight of nine series and split the other. It was the
third-worst month in franchise history behind/ahead of only July 1963 (4-25) and
August 1982 (5-24).
In the
process Frank
Ragnow Jersey , the Mets went from five games out of first place and eight
games ahead of the Marlins to tie for last, 14 1/2 games out of first. The two
teams are tied for the worst record in the NL, though Miami is technically
percentage points ahead of New York heading into Sunday.
The Mets are 21-47 since opening 11-1, the best 12-game start in franchise
history. Only the Baltimore Orioles have a worse record since Apr. 13.
The Mets have not been in last place in the NL East after July 1 since 2005,
when they had a 77-77 record while occupying fifth place on Sept. 24. This squad
appears far more likely to flirt with 100 losses than with
.500 A.J.
Bouye Jersey , but rookie manager Mickey Callaway said he will continue to
remain patient.
¡°We just have to keep on having daily conversations to try and right the
ship,¡± Callaway told reporters Saturday. ¡°It¡¯s difficult right now. I know the
players are feeling it. I know the fans are feeling it. We¡¯re going to continue
to do everything we can with the staff, the organization and the players to try
and get in a better spot than we are. Because this isn¡¯t acceptable to
anybody.¡±
Straily earned the win in his most recent start last Monday, when he allowed
three runs over 6 1/3 innings as the Marlins beat the Arizona Diamondbacks, 9-5.
Matz didn¡¯t factor into the decision last
Tuesday Nolan
Cromwell Jersey , when he gave up three runs over seven innings as the
Mets beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-3.
Straily is 1-1 with a 3.04 ERA in five career starts against the Mets. Matz
is 2-2 with a 3.67 ERA in five starts against the
Marlins.
