NEW YORK -- A day after right-hander Noah Syndergaard and outfielder Yoenis Cespedes departed a game with injuries, both New York Mets players were scratched from Tuesdays All-Star Game.Chicago Cubs outfielder Dexter Fowler also had to withdraw on Saturday due to a hamstring injury.They will be replaced by San Diego Padres left-hander Drew Pomeranz, Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marté and Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jay Bruce.Marcell Ozuna and Carlos Gonzalez now will start for the National League in the outfield. Cespedes and Fowler originally had been selected as starters via fan balloting. Syndergaard and Fowler -- both first-time All-Stars -- plan to attend the festivities in San Diego. Cespedes does not plan to travel to the event.Syndergaard might have been NL manager Terry Collins selection to start on the mound, but an issue that arose during Fridays game against the Washington Nationals takes that decision off the table.Syndergaards fastball dipped to 91 mph in the fifth inning and he was pulled midway through an at-bat by Jayson Werth. The Mets labeled Syndergaards issue arm fatigue and insisted it is unrelated to a previously diagnosed elbow problem.Syndergaard is taking anti-inflammatory medication to combat a bone spur in his pitching elbow. The spur is small enough that team officials say it will not need to be surgically removed this offseason.Cespedes departed Fridays game in the third inning with a strained right quadriceps. He indicated that he had a similar issue in spring training in 2015 with the Detroit Tigers and missed only four or five days. The hope is that Cespedes will be available when the Mets open the second half on Friday in Philadelphia, but it is not clear yet whether Cespedes can avoid a trip to the disabled list.Fowler has a lingering hamstring issue. He has been out since June 18, when he slowed up as he approached first base. His first rehab game was Friday night for Class A South Bend. Fowler felt he would not be ready to participate in San Diego. He and the Cubs hope he can be ready for the start of the second half when the Cubs host the Texas Rangers on Friday.Pomeranz becomes the second representative for the host Padres, joining first baseman Wil Myers. Its his first All-Star selection, though he already has 102.0 IP. His previous career-high was 96.2 in 2012. His 2.47 ERA is fifth in MLB -- the best of any qualified pitcher not named an All-Star. Pomeranz is 8-7 in 17 starts. He already has set single-season career records for wins, innings and strikeouts.Marté is a first-time selection. He has career-highs in batting average (.316) with 19 doubles, four triples, six homers, 32 RBIs and 27 steals.Bruce also was an All-Star in 2011 and 2012. He is hitting .265 with 19 doubles, six triples, 18 homers and 62 RBIs. He has a .539 slug percentage.?In the American League, injured Boston Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel will be replaced by Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Aaron Sanchez. Sanchez is 9-1 with a 2.94 ERA this season.Kimbrel will undergo surgery to repair a medial meniscus tear in his left knee and is expected to miss three to six weeks, the Red Sox announced Saturday.ESPNs Jesse Rogers contributed to this story.Cheap Air Jordan 11 Free Shipping .

Cheap Air Jordan 20 Free Shipping . Louis Blues absence from top spot in the TSN.SUNRISE, Fla. -- Back in the Top 25. Riding a six-game winning streak. And off to its best start in eight years.All things Florida State isnt used to hearing in December. But those around the mens basketball program like whats being said.(This year), I like the energy, the camaraderie, the conversations theyre having among themselves -- the coaching of themselves theyre doing, Seminoles head coach Leonard Hamilton said. Theyre holding each other accountable. Weve shown the ability to recover quick when we make mistakes. But the best thing about our program is growth. We have a lot of potential to get a whole lot better.No. 23 Florida State (10-1), which returned to the Top 25 Poll this week after spending seven days in it during Week 2 of the season, will try to make it seven straight wins Saturday when they play in the Orange Bowl Classic against Manhattan.The Jaspers (3-7) have to travel a wee bit farther to play this game than the Seminoles. Sunrise is just 450 miles from Tallahassee, while its just over 1,200 miles to South Florida from the Empire State.Manhattan is 0-3 all-time against the Seminoles and hasnt beaten a team from Florida in 22 years, since it took down Florida International University in 1994. But the Jaspers are coming into the game with more confidence than one might expect from a program with just three wins after taking home the Battle of the Bronx title last week against Fordham.The guys needed to feel good about themselves, and winning always helps, said head coach Steve Masiello, who is still searching for his first career win against an ACC program. Theyre putting in a lot of work and a lot of time, and we do this to win games. So Im happy for them right now. But we have a long way to go as a basketball team, and we know that.Jaspers guard Zavier Turner, who leads the team with 19 points and 3.6 assists per game, will have be facing his most talented lineup -- offensively and defensively -- all season when the two teams square off for the first time since the Seminoles won 81-66 on Nov. 15, 2014.Florida State, off to its best start since the 2008-09 season, is winning games by an average of 20.8 points while scoring 89 points a game. Part of the reason for that is a load of depth for the Seminoles, who have a staggering 13 playeers on the roster currently averaging double-digit minutes.ddddddddddddve said all along that the strength of this team is in the quality of our depth, Hamilton said. Weve played a lot of players and with a lot of different combinations on the floor. (Im) hoping that we develop the type of chemistry with this team that it wouldnt matter who is on the floor.Florida State is led by sophomore guard Dwayne Bacon, who is averaging 22.7 points. Right behind Bacon is five-star freshman recruit, forward Jonathan Isaac, who is averaging 14.4 points and a team-high 7.1 rebounds. Isaac sat out two games over the last week with a hip flexor injury, but he returned with nine points and six boards in a huge win Sunday against then-No. 21 Florida, barely snapping a double-digit scoring streak he had going through the first eight games of his college career.An added bonus is the recent play of sophomore guard P.J. Savoy Jr., who has only appeared in five games off the bench. But Savoy is already averaging 10.8 points and leads the team in 3-point percentage at .500 (17 of 34). Savoy, who missed the first six games with a turf toe injury, scored a career high -- and team high -- when he poured in 27 points against Southern Miss last week, drilling seven shots from beyond the arc in that win.Florida State will, for the second time this year, wear its turquoise Nike N7 uniforms against Manhattan on Saturday to raise awareness for bringing sport to Native American and Aboriginal youth. Florida State makes a distinct departure from its traditional school colors to don the uniforms to stand for the importance of bringing sport and physical activity to Native American and Aboriginal youth.The Seminole Tribe of Florida approached us about this program and we are honored and excited to wear these unique uniforms, Hamilton said. The color is significant as it is deeply symbolic of friendship and community in the Native American culture.The Seminoles will have a quick turnaround after Saturday, returning home to play a rare midweek afternoon game against Samford on Monday.Manhattan will return to New York for a Tuesday showdown at St. Francis (Brooklyn).
