CHICAGO -- The Pittsburgh Pirates have placed ace Gerrit Cole on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow inflammation.Cole pitched five shaky innings in a 5-4 loss to Houston on Wednesday, then he let the team know he experienced some discomfort during the outing. He had a 6.08 ERA in five August starts.Left-hander Steven Brault was promoted from Triple-A Indianapolis to take Coles spot in the rotation Monday night at the Chicago Cubs.Coles injury means none of Pittsburghs five starters from Opening Day are in the rotation. Francisco Liriano and Jonathon Niese left via trade, and Jeff Locke and Juan Nicasio are working out of the bullpen.

The team said Saturday that Lopez was hurt during its 121-120 overtime loss at Philadelphia on Friday. The Nets said they would issue another update next week after consultation with their doctors. Nike Sf Air Force 1 Pas Cher . -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday. THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Lamarcus Joyner has been playing on a broken toe since the second quarter of the Los Angeles Rams season opener.Although his teammates and coaches are impressed by his resolve, the defensive back simply is determined to hold up his end of the secondary.I knew I had to be accountable to the defense, so I just kept my mouth closed and kept playing, Joyner said Tuesday after practice.Joyner broke the second toe on his left foot during the Rams season-opening loss at San Francisco. He said it felt like his foot fell asleep, and when his toe wouldnt move after his foot woke up, Joyner knew something was wrong.He just didnt tell coach Jeff Fisher or the training staff until the 28-0 loss ended.I just strapped on my cleats and I played, man, Joyner said. I know it was an important game to us. If you just think about 2014, that draft, how Coach Fisher ... gave up a pick for me, all that kind of stuff just ran in my mind. Theyve made a lot of sacrifices for me, so I can fight through something like this.Although an episode of HBOs Hard Knocks captured Joyner suggesting he was seriously contemplating quitting football, the defensive back says he is still devoted to the sport and the Rams: He played extensively in Los Angeles 9-3 win over Seattle last Sunday.After playing 134 of the Rams first 148 defensive snaps with only nine good toes, he intends to be in uniform again this weekend at Tampa Bay.It was nothing that was going to keep him from playing, Fisher said. You can kind of get an appreciation for his commitment to this game and his teammates. Playing through that is not easy.But Joyners toughness isnt a surprise to the Rams.Thats why we drafted him, Fisher said. We watched him for a couple of years there at Florida State, and hes one of those guys.dddddddddddd He shows it every day.Joyner might be getting some help soon in the Rams secondary, which is in for a workout from Jameis Winston and the Buccaneers.Cornerback E.J. Gaines is close to returning for his first NFL game since 2014 after participating in practice Tuesday. After missing last season with a foot injury, he has been out since last month with a left thigh injury.Fisher suggested Gaines could even step right into the starting lineup -- and though Gaines has played only 15 NFL games, the Missouri native is eager to add veteran continuity.I think weve been on a roller coaster, Gaines said of the secondary. Made some really good plays and made some bad plays. Weve got to be a lot more consistent out there. I hope we can put it all together in this third regular-season game.A year ago, Gaines was in competition with Trumaine Johnson for the starting cornerback job opposite Janoris Jenkins before getting hurt. While Gaines watched from the sideline, Johnson earned a $13.95 million contract for this season.After Jenkins left for a lavish free-agent deal with the New York Giants, Gaines was the favorite to fill the vacancy before his injury.Los Angeles used second-year free agent Troy Hill extensively against the Seahawks in place of starter Coty Sensabaugh. Hill held up fairly well against repeated targeting by Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson.Its anticipated, Hill said. Youve got a proven corner on the other side, and Im just unproven, so Im anticipating that. I expect that every time I go out there.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
