Washingtons 18-yard run six

ATLANTA - Right-hander Gavin Floyd was activated from the disabled list on Sunday and will start on Tuesday against St. Louis as a replacement for Ervin Santana, who has swelling below his right thumb. Santana, a right-hander, said he jammed the thumb on an inside pitch from Cincinnatis Homer Bailey on April 25. He said the thumb felt fine after that game. He said he had swelling on his hand below the thumb in his last start against the Marlins on Wednesday. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said Santana is expected to miss only one start. Gonzalez said he tentatively expects Santana to start on Saturday against the Cubs. Santana said the swelling is improving each day. He said hes never had a similar injury. "No, this is my first time hitting," he said with a smile. Santana played in the American League with the Angels and Kansas City before signing a one-year deal with the Braves. Santana, 3-0 with a 2.41 ERA, had a light wrap on his right hand on Sunday. The Braves optioned left-handed reliever Ian Thomas to Triple-A Gwinnett, clearing a roster spot for Floyd. Santanas injury temporarily clears a spot for Floyd in the rotation. When Santana returns, Gonzalez faces another difficult decision only days after moving David Hale to the bullpen to clear a rotation spot for left-hander Mike Minor. "We always talk about how it will take care of itself," Gonzalez said. "It will take care of itself for a week, and then well make a decision. Were not going to go with a six-man rotation." Floyd signed a one-year, $4 million deal with the Braves in December after his 2013 season with the White Sox was shorted by an elbow injury. He had surgery last May to repair the ulnar collateral ligament and a torn flexor muscle in his right elbow. At the time of the surgery, there were projections that Floyds rehabilitation would last longer than a year. "I just went out and did all the work I had to do and did all the things I could," Floyd said. "A year later, Im active and healthy and real happy about that. "Im excited about pitching and excited to get out there Tuesday and after that what happens will be dealt with." The rotation includes Santana, Minor, Julio Teheran, Alex Wood and Aaron Harang. Gonzalez said this week he doesnt want to move Wood, a left-hander, to the bullpen � at least not immediately. Gonzalez kept that option open for later in the season as the team might need to limit Woods innings. Harang had the NLs best ERA before giving up nine runs in a loss to the Marlins in his last start. Floyd, 31, has a 70-70 career record with Philadelphia and the White Sox. His best season came in 2008, when he was 17-8 with a 3.84 ERA with Chicago. He hasnt won more than 12 games or had an ERA under 4.00 since 2008. Thomas was 1-1 with a 4.26 ERA in 10 games. Gonzalez said he wants Floyd to work as a starter at Gwinnett so he can develop his slider. "Its hard to work on your secondary pitches when its second and third and youre facing Bryce Harper," Gonzalez said, referring to the typical situation Thomas faces as a reliever in the major leagues. The move leaves Luis Avilan as the Braves only left-handed reliever. Avilan is 3-1 with a 7.04 ERA. Paco Alcacer Barcelona Jersey .ca.

Rudolph took over at quarterback for Daxx Garman following a 28-7 loss against Texas on Nov. 15, OSUs fourth loss during a five-game slide. Rudolph helped the Cowboys top rival Oklahoma in the last week of the regular season to become bowl eligible. The true freshman completed 17-of-26 passes, Desmond Roland gained 123 yards on 32 carries and Oklahoma State (7-6) improved to 6-3 in bowl games under coach Mike Gundy. Bowl season tends to lead to trickeration, and OSU had a few tricks up its sleeve early on. Senior defensive tackle James Castleman checked in for his first career offensive play with the Cowboys facing 2nd-and-goal from the 1- yard line. Castleman lined up in the shotgun, took the snap and rumbled forward, falling just over the goal line to open the scoring. Later in the first, Brandon Sheperd took a handoff and threw back across the field to Rudolph, who picked up blocking on his way to a 22-yard gain. Two plays later, Rudolph went up top to James Washington for a 28-yard touchdown. Ben Grogan drilled a 40-yard field goal at 9:22 of the second to make it 17-0, and Rudolphs 47-yard TD pass to Sheperd towards the end of the half sent the Cowboys into halftime leading 24-0. Washington went four possessions to start the game without picking up a first down. It finally did on Dwayne Washingtons 18-yard run six minutes into the second. The Huskies went 0-for-6 on third down in the first half and gained 180 fewer yards than OSU. But they foundd new life in the third quarter.dddddddddddd Cyler Miles was the catalyst, completing 4-of-5 for 43 yards on the first possession after halftime, and Jaydon Mickens finished the 7-play march with a 31-yard touchdown run. After Grogans 27-yard field goal made it 27-7, Washington got a boost from its special teams with John Ross taking back the ensuing kickoff 96 yards to the end zone. Facing 4th-and-6 early in the fourth quarter, Miles only picked up four yards on a QB keeper and the Huskies turned it over on downs. Another short Grogan kick pushed the lead to 30-14. Desperate for eight points, Miles led Washington down the field and capped an impressive 8-play drive with a screen pass to Mickens, who dodged defenders and ran 16 yards for a touchdown. Miles then hit Deontae Cooper out of the backfield for the 2-point conversion. But Washingtons comeback bid came up short, with Castleman making his impact felt yet again on the offensive end. On 3rd-and-2 from the OSU 35, Castleman went out for a pass and caught a short dump off from Rudolph, then trucked two defenders to the ground and lumbered 48 yards before finally going down. Grogan, who hit his first three field goals, pushed a 27-yarder wide left with 43 seconds to play, leaving the door open, but Miles was intercepted by Kevin Peterson. Miles completed 25-of-38 for 268 yards for Washington (8-6). Game Notes Oklahoma State went 2-for-2 on fourth down ... Both teams picked up 22 first downs ... Castleman also had a sack ... Mickens made seven catches for 82 yards to pace Washingtons receiving corps. Sheperd had five grabs for 98 yards for OSU.
