ARLINGTON, Texas -- Texas Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton was hospitalized early Friday after becoming dehydrated because of an intestinal virus and likely will miss the weekend series against Houston. Matt Ryan Black Jersey . The Rangers said Hamilton was receiving fluids in the hospital because of a virus going around his family. He was expected to be released by Saturday. Hamilton was replaced in the field late Thursday night in an 11-3 loss to Arizona after telling manager Ron Washington that he had a stomach ache. Before that, the manager had seen nothing to indicate Hamilton wasnt feeling good. "Thats why he came out, he said he had a stomach ache," Washington said. "I didnt know it was going to lead to him being in the hospital." Outfielder Leonys Martin was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock and in the lineup for the series opener Friday night against the Astros. Martin was batting ninth and playing centre field. To make room on the 25-man roster, the AL West-leading Rangers placed right-handed reliever Koji Uehara on the 15-day disabled list. Ueharas move is retroactive to Sunday, a day after he strained a back muscle pitching at San Francisco. Rangers left-hander Derek Holland is still on the 15-day disabled list because of shoulder fatigue after losing about 15 pounds over a two-week period because of a stomach virus. Holland threw off flat ground Friday, and the earliest he could be activated is Thursday. Outfielder Nelson Cruz was held out of the Texas starting lineup Tuesday and Wednesday because of a virus. Cruz was so ill when he got to Rangers Ballpark on Tuesday that he was sent home. "Ive never experienced this in all the years Ive been in the game," Washington said. "But theres quite a few guys up there who havent gotten it." The Rangers said the cases werent related, but that the clubhouse is sanitized periodically. That has been done since Holland first got sick. Hamilton, second in the AL with a .330 batting average, is tied for the majors lead with 22 home runs and has a majors-best 62 RBIs. "Going to miss Hamilton. You dont want your best player not to be in the lineup, but theres nothing you can do about it," Washington said. "He wont be available (Saturday). ... Then got a day game on Sunday, so hes probably gone for this weekend." Martin was hitting .344 with five homers and 22 RBIS in 31 games at Round Rock. Michael Young, the Rangers designated hitter, moved up to the No. 3 spot in the batting order to replace Hamilton. Young and other teammates didnt even know Hamilton had been hospitalized. "Hopefully, he gets better as soon as possible, but its part of playing in the big leagues," Young said. "Sometimes its not always smooth sailing. You have to find a way to weather the storm and keeping fighting, keep grinding away. Thats the nature of the big leagues." The Rangers had planned to make the move with Uehara on Saturday, when they will have to clear a spot on the 25-man roster to promote right-hander Justin Grimm from Double-A Frisco for his major league debut in a start against the Astros. Now the team will have to make another move to purchase Grimms contract. "Because of this issue with Hamilton, we had to bring up another body," Washington said. "This wasnt planned." Tony Gonzalez Womens Jersey . Toquero controlled the ball inside the area and, with his back to goal, used the back of his foot to make it 3-0 in the 78th minute. Markel Susaeta scored the opener, reaching Iker Muniains through ball before chipping goalkeeper Alvaro Campos in the 24th. Kroy Biermann Jersey . Rondo scored. The Heat answered. Then again. And again. Eventually, Rondo missed, one of the rare times he didnt deliver on an unforgettable night. http://www.atlantafalconsgears.com/tony-gonzalez-jersey/ .

It is a squad made up of a core of highly successful veterans, such as Edmontons Jen Kish and Winnipeg native Mandy Marchak. Stephen Nicholas Jersey . Hughes is 2-1 with a 2.70 earned run average in 47 relief appearances for the Pirates this season. The right-hander was sent to the minors this past weekend when Juan Cruz was activated off the disabled list. Navarro is hitting .178 with one homer and four RBI in 25 contests for Pittsburgh this year. WASHINGTON -- According to Washington right fielder Jayson Werth, the way an intense, September afternoon sun turns fly balls at Nationals Park into adventures "borders on ridiculous." Well, this time, that "sun monster" helped Werths Nationals and hurt the Milwaukee Brewers. A day after the Nationals misplayed a pair of fly balls in the midday glare, Werth wound up with a two-out, two-run double when Brewers centre fielder Carlos Gomez lost a ball in the sun to spark a six-run fourth inning Monday, and Washington beat Milwaukee 12-2 to cut its magic number for winning the NL East to five. "I dont remember a worse sun field, worse sun conditions," said Werth, a major leaguer for a decade. "You almost dont have a chance out there as the game goes on." Jordan Zimmermann (12-8) allowed one run and four hits in 6 2-3 innings in the rare 1:05 p.m. weekday start. He also delivered two hits and drove in a run as a batter for the Nationals, who are a majors-best 93-60 and increased their division lead over the Atlanta Braves to five games with nine to play. "We still have a little ways to go, but if we keep playing baseball the way weve been playing, hopefully itll happen soon," said Ryan Zimmerman, who had three hits and four RBIs. Marco Estrada (4-7) lasted only four innings for the Brewers, who entered the day 2 1/2 games behind the St. Louis Cardinals for the NLs second wild-card berth. He allowed seven runs -- six earned -- and eight hits, and acknowledged that Gomezs problems on Werths ball into the sun caused the righty to lose his composure "a little bit." "It felt like it was a blink of an eye," Estrada said. "I looked up, the score was 2-1, and I was like, All right, lets get this guy out. Pop fly. Next thing you know, its 7-1. I couldnt believe it." As Brewers manager Ron Roenicke put it: "It wouldve been a good game if that balls caught." Right after Zimmermanns RBI single broke a 1-all tie, Werth hit a high fly that could have been the third out -- but Gomez couldnt find it. "It is just a matter of being lucky and not getting a ball hit to you when its in your field of vision," Werth said. "Even then, if the ball is hit to your left early in the game, it goes into the sun. And if it goes to youur right later in the game, it goes in the sun. Roddy White Black Jersey. And if its hit right at you in the middle of the game, you are in trouble." Gomez paused and held his glove up to try to shade his view, then suddenly scrambled to his left and tried to make a diving catch. The ball smacked off the dark sweat band on his left forearm and trickled away. "Nothing you can do," Gomez said. Roenicke knew his player was having a hard time locating the ball. "As soon as the ball went up, he was 10 feet off," Roenicke said. "I was watching the ball, where it was, and watching where he was, and I could tell he was off line." After Bryce Harper walked and joined Werth in a double steal, Zimmerman sent a three-run shot to right-centre for his 24th homer and a 7-1 lead. "Once it gets out of hand, its tough to keep everybodys intensity there," Roenicke said, "and because of it, a lot of things go wrong." In Milwaukees 6-2 victory Sunday, Werth and Harper each failed to catch a ball because of the sun, leading to hits. Werths misplay was on a shot by Gomez. Afterward, Harper joked about trouble dealing with the "sun monster." "Payback," said Nationals manager Davey Johnson. "Its a tough sun. I mean, this time of year, that time of day." NOTES: Nationals SS Ian Desmond stole second in the fifth, giving him 20 steals to go along with 24 homers, making him the teams first 20-20 player since Alfonso Soriano in 2006. ... Brewers 1B Corey Hart hit his 28th homer in the second inning. ... The Nationals will throw three left-handed starters in their next series at Philadelphia, with Ross Detwiler (10-6) on Tuesday, John Lannan (3-0) on Wednesday, and Gio Gonzalez (20-8) on Thursday. ... Washington LF Michael Morse was out of the starting lineup because of a bothersome left hand. ... The Brewers open a three-game series at NL Central champion Cincinnati on Tuesday, with RHPs Mike Fiers (9-8), Shaun Marcum (5-4) and Wily Peralta (2-1) set to start for Milwaukee. ... Harper slammed against the wall in deep centre to catch a shot off the bat of Aramis Ramirez to end the first, then rolled onto his back and stayed down for a second or two. Eventually, Harper popped up and jogged to the dugout to loud cheers. ' ' '
