Braves send McLouth to minors
Baseball Betting Lines
07/27/2010 -
Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Braves have sent slumping
outfielder Nate McLouth to Triple-A Gwinnett.
In 62 games this season, the sixth-year pro was hitting just .168 and missed
more than a month with concussion-like symptoms after a nasty collision with
teammate Jason Heyward during a June 9 game at Arizona.
An All-Star in 2008 with Pittsburgh, McLouth came to the Braves in a June 2009
trade with the Pirates and hit .257 with 11 home runs and 36 runs batted in
over the final 84 games of the season.
However, a painfully slow start to 2010 had him in a 6-for-63 slump at the
time of his demotion. Since joining the club last year, McLouth was batting
.225 in 146 games.
The 28-year-old was carrying a .279 on-base percentage and paltry .265
slugging percentage in 2010 as the Braves primary center fielder.
It's expected Melky Cabrera will see the majority of time in center in the
absence of McLouth.
To fill the roster spot, Atlanta activated outfielder Brent Clevlen from the
15-day disabled list. He missed 54 games with a right great toe sprain and has
one hit, a double, in four at-bats this year.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.
Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.
MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.
"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."
Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
