to see Blair get three to five starts in Triple-A before h

The Arizona Cardinals?scored big this summer with the airing of the show All or Nothing, a documentary about the 2015 team that went to the NFC Championship Game.As the Cardinals prepare to face the 49ers in San Francisco on Thursday night, however, theyre on the verge of getting nothing.They are 1-3. Quarterback Carson Palmer is out with a concussion. The defense has been leaky. The offense hasnt scored a single point in the first quarter this season. They dont look like the 13-3?team from last season.Considered to be one of the most talented teams in the league, the Cardinals could find themselves falling out of playoff contention early. This?wasnt supposed to be on the Cardinals agenda this year. People in the front office say this is their most talented team. I agree. I have them with 10 blue-chip players, among the best in the league. They traded for Chandler Jones, a pass-rusher who had 12.5 sacks for the Patriots last season. They drafted defensive lineman?Robert Nkemdiche, whom they considered a top-five prospect.Whats scary is the Cardinals are dangerously close to having their Super Bowl window close. While general manager Steve Keim, one of the best in the league, has done a great job of finding good young talent, they have age and free-agent concerns coming up after the season. Palmer is 36, and Larry Fitzgerald?is 33. Jones, Calais Campbell, Evan Mathis, Michael Floyd and Tony Jefferson?will be free agents.How can Arizona avoid a lost season and turn things around? After talking to people around the league, here are a few improvements they can make to get back to their best. Sebastian Perez Jersey .Y. - Jerome Samson scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the St. Santiago Arias Colombia Jersey . -- New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis is retiring after a 16-year career to become the goalie coach for the Los Angeles Galaxy. http://www.nationalcolombiafootball.com/farid-diaz-colombia-jersey/ .com) - Christian Ponder will get another chance to prove himself for the Minnesota Vikings, with head coach Leslie Frazier announcing Wednesday that the struggling quarterback will start this weekends game against the Green Bay Packers.

Aaron Harrison scored a 22 points for Kentucky (6-1), which has won four in a row following a Nov. 12 loss to current No. 1 Michigan State. Julius Randle overcame a scoreless first half and added his sixth double-double in as many games with 14 points and 10 rebounds. ATLANTA -- A month ago, the Atlanta Braves were wondering what to do with all their starting pitchers. Now theyre wondering whos going to start.Three players who were in the starting rotation last month are on the disabled list. Mike Foltynewicz (right elbow soreness), Williams Perez (right rotator cuff soreness) and John Gant (left oblique) are all on the sidelines.When you add the demotion of Aaron Blair, who was sent to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday, there are plenty of holes to be filled in the Atlanta rotation.As a result, the Braves will start Joel De La Cruz in Wednesdays series finale against Cleveland against right-hander Danny Salazar (8-3, 2.23).De La Cruz will be making his major league debut. He was signed as a minor league free agent in November and has spent all season with Triple-A Gwinnett. De La Cruz began the season in the bullpen, but was moved to the rotation and has a 2.16 ERA over his last four starts. Overall hes 1/3 with a 4.68 ERA in 21 games.De La Cruz pitched eight innings against Charlotte in his most recent start.I talked to the guys and hes stretched out and good to go, Snitker said. Hes been up here a couple times and hasnt pitched. Were going to put him to work.Salazar will make his 15th start of the season in Clevelands final appearance at Turner Field. Salazar (9-3, 2.40) has second-best ERA in the American League.dddddddddddd He has faces the Braves only one time, going four innings and allowing two earned runs in his fifth career start. Salazar is 1-5 with a 4.07 ERA in nine career interleague starts.Foltynewicz will make one more rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett before he is activated. He threw five scoreless innings and allowed one hit last week.Perez isnt like to be ready to return until the All-Star break and Gant is expected to miss no less than a month. The organization would like to see Blair get three to five starts in Triple-A before he is returned to the majors.Cleveland got a bit of good news on the injury front when manager Terry Francona reported that outfielder Michael Brantley has been hitting balls off a tee.Brantley has been sidelined with a sore shoulder since May 10. He had a cortisone shot and rested for five days before resuming activity. He has been taking 50-55 swings off the tee and his progress will be reassessed when the team returns to Cleveland.He didnt feel anything other than feeling good, Francona said. Well have more of a schedule after we get off this trip.Brantley is hitting .231 with seven RBI in 11 games. ' ' '
