Brewers place Gomez on DL with concussion

Baseball Betting Lines

08/06/2010 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Milwaukee Brewers deemed Carlos Gomez's concussion serious enough to place him on the 15-day disabled list Friday.

Gomez was hit in the head by a Brian Schlitter pitch on Monday against the Cubs and has not played since. The DL stint is retroactive to Tuesday.

Fortunately for the outfielder, doctors ruled out bleeding on the brain when Gomez had a CT scan at a local hospital.

In his first season with the Brewers, Gomez is batting .228 with five homers and 22 RBI in 75 games. He was replaced on the roster by outfielder Lorenzo Cain, who was recalled from the minors and has played in just three games in his major league career, batting 3-for-5 with a double.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
