Phillies place Howard on DL, promote OF Mayberry
Baseball Betting Lines
08/03/2010 - Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Philadelphia Phillies announced on Tuesday that All-Star first baseman Ryan Howard has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with a moderate left ankle sprain, while outfielder John Mayberry Jr. has been recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
The 30-year-old slugger suffered the injury in the first inning of Sunday's win over Washington, as he appeared to turn the ankle while trying to get back to second base after over-rounding it.
Howard, who was in an 0-for-14 slump at the plate prior to going down with the injury, is hitting .292 with 23 homers and 81 runs batted in through 104 games this year.
He is the 15th Phillie to have a stint on the DL this season.
Mayberry, 26, had a taste of big league experience with the Phillies in 2009, appearing in 39 contests. Over that span, the right-handed hitter clubbed four home runs and knocked in eight while batting .211.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
