Rockies' Torrealba has tear in knee
Baseball Betting Lines
08/14/2008 -
Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rockies catcher Yorvit Torrealba was scratched
from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks with an
injury that was later diagnosed as a small meniscus tear in his left knee.
According to a story on MLB.com on Thursday, Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said
that the team will keep Torrealba off the disabled list to see if he can
recover from the injury in a few days. It is unclear if surgery could be
needed.
Chris Iannetta started in Torrealba's place and went 2-for-3 in Colorado's
loss to Arizona. The club called up backstop Adam Melhuse from Triple-A
Colorado Springs on Thursday. To clear a roster spot for Melhuse, the Rockies
optioned outfielder Cory Sullivan to Colorado Springs.
Torrealba is hitting .250 with five homers and 28 RBI in 64 games this season.
In 29 games with the Sky Sox, the 36-year-old Melhuse was hitting .317 with
three home runs and 14 RBI.

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."
