PHOENIX -- Diamondbacks outfielder A.J. Pollock has a strained groin and could be out for the rest of the season.Pollock was hurt running out a fly ball early in Friday nights game against San Francisco, and an MRI on Saturday revealed the extent of the injury. Arizona manager Chip Hale said the injury is treatable, but it could be at least a week before Pollock can resume physical activity.It could be the end of the season. Were not going to put him back out there until hes 100 percent, Hale said.Pollock made his season debut two weeks ago after being activated from the 60-day disabled list following his recovery from a broken right elbow suffered in the spring. He was hitting .303 in his past 10 games after starting 0-for-8.He was running straight ahead and he just felt it tighten up, Hale said. Physically it stinks for him, but I think on the mental side its still difficult, because A.J. was feeling great. He was really enjoying being a part of the club on the field.The Diamondbacks will definitely be without backup catcher Chris Herrmann for the rest of the season after he broke two bones in his left hand sliding into second base during Friday nights game. Herrmann will need surgery.Herrmann was looking at more time behind the plate after coming off the disabled list last week following his recovery from a hamstring injury. Nike Zoom Soldes .

Pakistan had to wait a week following victory over England at The Oval to have their rise to the No. 1 Test ranking confirmed and they will get only a couple of days to enjoy the accolade before walking out at the Ageas Bowl, on the ring-road-and-retail-park outskirts of Southampton, with the slightly less awe-inspiring billing of ninth-best ODI side in the world.Thats life in the tightly scheduled world of international cricket, as Frank Sinatra didnt quite sing: Riding high in August, shot down in August. Azhar Ali, Pakistans ODI captain, played his part in the Test sides success, spanking the six that effectively took them to No. 1 (once the elements had nixed Indias chances of a 3-0 win in the Caribbean) and he is hopeful that some of the positivity engendered by the first leg of the tour will bleed through into the rest.Misbah-ul-Haq has been rightly hailed for his leadership in Tests but even he had his struggles with Pakistans 50-over cricket and since handing over to Azhar after the last World Cup results in ODIs have continued to be indifferent. They managed to hold off West Indies as Bangladesh surged through to make the Champions Trophy cut-off last year but now sit outside the top eight, with qualification for the World Cup at stake.Nevertheless, Azhar was able to enjoy the south-coast sunshine and bask briefly in a little reflected success before turning his attention to the challenge ahead in the five-match series against England.Confidence is very high and belief is there, obviously coming in from the Test series, we had a very good couple of months here. We take that confidence into the one-day internationals as well, Azhar said.It is a massive boost and a proud moment for Pakistan cricket and the whole nation is very happy about it, as players the team is really happy about it. Its definitely a good thing for us, our one-day ranking is not great right now but we will take the opportunity the way the team is performing, hopefully we can convert it into ODIs as well. He could also point to the low expectations people had of Pakistans chances of Test success in England - where they had not played in six years - when the team turned up to make the Ageas Bowl their base for a preparatory camp two months ago. No one rated us very highly [when we arrived] - a few people said we would be competitive but there were doubts if we could win the Test matches here. The boys really believed in the Test matches so here also, we believe we can do it.Pakistan were handed a 3-1 defeat by Eoin Morgans side in the more familiar environs of the UAE last winter but this series will take on greater significance, with the next two ICC 50-over trophies to be contested in England.dddddddddddd Azhar described it as a good opportunity for us to keep in touch with the conditions and was also hopeful of ending a personal run of 12 innings and more than a year without passing 50 in ODIs.When you play international cricket, pressure is always there, he said. Ive had a few starts in recent months but I didnt convert into big scores so I will focus on that. As a batsman I need to score some big runs.Morgan would doubtless concur about the twin demands of captaincy and scoring heavily. He has not played for a month, after chipping a bone in his finger while playing for Middlesex, but proclaimed that a lack of matches doesnt bother me at all. His last half-century in either limited-overs format came in the UAE last November but he did find some form with an unbeaten 47 when England last played at the Ageas Bowl - an eight-wicket T20 win against Sri Lanka - and it is a ground where he averages 65.85, with two hundreds, in ODIs.Morgans style of captaincy has largely been free of prescriptions, preferring to grant his side the freedom to play in the way that suits them best, and he is also wary of predictions. Englands No. 5 ranking in part reflects how far they had slipped by the time of the World Cup (when they did even worse than Pakistan), as well as their inconsistency despite a year of record-breaking performances, and Morgan was grateful that the ECBs professed commitment to the one-day game extended to providing him with a full-strength side at the end of long summer.Ben Stokes is set to return after suffering a calf tear in the second Test against Pakistan, initially only as a batsman, while Mark Wood should make his first international appearance since the UAE tour, having recovered from ankle surgery. Alex Hales, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes have all been included after playing in the majority of Englands fixtures across this season.Yes, delighted, Morgan said of selection. I think its hugely important playing against Pakistan who are flying high at the minute, in Test cricket, but that rubs off on any side doing well. Also when teams tour places they dont come to that often they get better as they go along, so thats another challenge … With the way weve been performing wed like to think we are progressing nicely but we have a tough series ahead and a tough winter.
