Manny awarded to White Sox through waiver claim

Baseball Betting Lines

08/30/2010 - Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Dodgers announced on Monday that outfielder Manny Ramirez has been awarded to the Chicago White Sox through a waiver claim.

The Dominican native has been limited to 66 games for LA this season, batting .311 with eight homers and 40 RBI. He's spent three separate stints on the disabled list, two for a strained calf and one for a bad hamstring.

Since being acquired from Boston on July 31, 2008, the slugger has hit .322 with 44 homers and 156 RBI in 223 games and was a key figure in the Dodgers' back-to-back NLCS appearances in 2008-09.

Ramirez hit waivers last Wednesday with Los Angeles seemingly destined to sit out postseason play this season. However, that came in the midst of a three-game sweep of Milwaukee -- possibly complicating the decision to let Ramirez leave.

The 38-year-old's final contest in a Dodgers uniform on Sunday ended with his ejection as a pinch-hitter by home-plate umpire Gary Cederstrom for arguing a first-pitch strike. Colorado won the game, 10-5, and took two of three in the series.

Since the transaction was a simple waiver claim instead of being part of a trade, the White Sox now take on the responsibility of the remaining $3.5 million on Ramirez's contract.

To fill the vacant roster spot, the Dodgers recalled pitcher Ramon Troncoso from Triple-A Albuquerque. In two previous call-ups to the majors this season, he went 1-2 with a 4.85 earned-run average.

In an unrelated roster move, the White Sox transferred pitcher Jake Peavy from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list.

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
