Cardinals place outfielder Jon Jay on disabled list

Sports

May 14th, 2015 by admin

CLEVELAND (AP) – The St. Louis Cardinals have placed outfielder Jon Jay on the 15-day disabled list with tendinitis in his left wrist.

The club made the move before Thursday’s series finale against the Indians. The Cardinals recalled outfielder/first baseman Xavier Scruggs from Triple-A Memphis to fill Jay’s roster spot.

Jay had arthroscopic surgery on the wrist in October.

Matt Holliday, who was struck on the left elbow by Indians pitcher Corey Kluber on Wednesday night, was originally not in the starting lineup but convinced manager Mike Matheny to play him at designated hitter against Cleveland’s Trevor Bauer. X-rays were negative on Holliday’s bruised elbow.

Holliday is batting .346 with 21 RBIs and has reached base in all 31 games this season.

Scruggs batted .229 with a team-leading six homers and 18 RBIs for Memphis. He appeared in nine games for the Cardinals last season.

Virus that attacks horse’s nervous system confirmed in Iowa

Ag/Outdoor

May 14th, 2015 by admin

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – A virus known for attacking a horse’s nervous system has been confirmed at a stable in Iowa’s Warren County.

The Iowa Department of Agriculture said Wednesday that the stable has several confirmed cases of a neurological disease associated with Equine Herpesvirus infections. Officials say the disease poses no threat to humans.

The disease was detected at the Warren County stable when horses began to show symptoms including fever, decreased coordination, lethargy and inability to rise.

A news release says the horses are being monitored and aren’t permitted to leave the stable. The virus is spread through direct horse-to-horse contact. Objects contaminated with the virus, such as grooming equipment and feed and water buckets, also contribute to its transmission.
