SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Chargers on Friday released retired guard Kris Dielman from the teams reserve-retired list. Duane Brown Jersey . Dielman retired in March, 4 1/2 months after sustaining a concussion in a helmet-to-helmet collision with a New York Jets defender. The 320-pound Dielman was staggered by the injury early in the fourth quarter of the Oct. 23 game. But he continued to play because the Chargers were out of offensive linemen due to other injuries. The team didnt diagnose his condition until after the game. Dielman suffered a grand mal seizure on the flight home. The team plane was met by an ambulance and he was hospitalized overnight. Ten days after Dielman was hurt, the leagues injury and safety panel told game officials to watch closely for concussion symptoms in players. Arian Foster Black Jersey . The 38-year-old Dotel had been sidelined since June 3 with right elbow inflammation. In 21 appearances this season prior to the DL stint, Dotel compiled a 1-2 record with a 4. Whitney Mercilus Jersey . -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed first-round draft pick Mark Barron to a five-year contract. http://www.houstontexansgears.com/owen-daniels-jersey/ . Ebanks was fined $25,000 for his actions before and after his ejection in the Lakers 119-90 loss in Game 1 on Monday. He was thrown out for saying something to an official in getting a technical foul, then ripped off his jersey as he walked back toward the locker room. Glover Quin Jersey . -- When the American Hockey League season started in October, the Norfolk Admirals had a rookie line comprised of Carter Ashton, Tyler Johnson and Cory Conacher. Danieal Manning Jersey . Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Chris Carpenter threw a complete game for the second time this season and scored the game-winning run to help the St. CINCINNATI, Ohio -- Reds first baseman Joey Votto will have surgery to repair torn cartilage in his left knee, leaving the NL Central leaders without their best hitter for the next three to four weeks. The 2010 National League MVP hurt the knee while sliding into third base June 29 in San Francisco, but has continued playing. Votto, from Toronto, started for the NL in the all-star game last Tuesday. A medical exam Monday night detected the tear and Votto will have arthroscopic surgery on Tuesday. General manager Walt Jocketty said Votto didnt have an MRI earlier because the first baseman didnt think he needed one. "He didnt request it until then," Jocketty said. "He said it wasnt a problem until the last couple of days." Votto decided to have the surgery. Jocketty said its a simple procedure that takes only 20 to 30 minutes. "It is in my best interest and in the best interest of the team to do it now so that I can be healthy during the last two months of the pennant race," Votto said in a statement. Votto is batting .342 with 14 homers and 49 RBIs. He leads the NL in doubles, walks, on-base percentage and extra-base hits. "Well see what we can do internally, initially," Jocketty said. "But its going to be difficult to replace Joey Votto." He went hitless in his first two games back from the All-Star game then had a single and an RBI double during a 4-2 win over St. Louis on Sunday night that moved the Reds into sole possession of first place in the NL Central. The Reds didnt immediately make a move to replace him on the roster. Cincinnati has been in first place for 46 days because of its pitching and the NLs top defence. The Reds have used only five starters, a modern franchise record this deep into the season, and their bullpen is the best in the league. The offence has struggled, ranking in the middle of the league, and the loss of Votto costs the team its most consistent hitter. Votto was namedd MVP after the Reds run to the NL Central title in 2010, but Cincinnati got swept by Philadelphia in the first round of the playoffs. Glover Quin Elite Jersey. He received a 10-year contract extension before the start of this season that added $225 million to his deal. Now, the Reds will find out just how much he means to the franchise. They lost their first game without him, 5-3 to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night. "Hes an MVP, a Gold Glover. What more can you ask in a guy?" said Todd Frazier, who filled in at first base. "Injuries are huge in baseball. Hes got that presence. Whenever he is out there, he can do damage." Reds starter Bronson Arroyo saw Votto shortly before the game and got the bad news directly. "He looked funny," said Arroyo, who lasted only three innings. "I said, Are you playing? He said, No, I need surgery. At this time of year, if we can keep pressure on the other teams in our division and stay in the race -- if we can weather the storm -- he could give us a lift when he comes back." Instead of having a mainstay at first base and the No. 3 spot in the order, manager Dusty Baker will have to get creative. Theres no obvious replacement on the roster or in the minors. Bakers first inclination was to have Frazier, who is Scott Rolens backup at third base, play more at first. "Thats a good possibility," Baker said. "Hell play some third, some first. (Miguel Cairo) will play some first. Hes an outstanding first baseman. Well mix and match depending on offensive and defensive matchups." The challenge is to stay in contention until he gets back. "Weve got the guys who can do it," right-fielder Jay Bruce said. "The pressures on, but weve got to step up. Im confident that we have those guys on the team. "Look at the Dodgers. They lost Matt Kemp, but they weathered the storm. Its early enough that we can weather the storm." ' ' '
