MIAMI -- Philadelphia Phillies catcher Carlos Ruiz is headed to the 15-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring and first baseman Ryan Howard is day to day with a sore left knee. Both players had MRI exams on Monday before Philadelphias game against Miami. Ruiz has a Grade 2 hamstring strain. He has played in 16 games and is hitting .235 with two RBIs. "Right now hell probably be out three to four weeks -- relative time frame," Phillies trainer Scott Sheridan said. "Thats kind of what were thinking right now based on the size of the tear and location." Howard has had symptoms for the past couple of weeks and is hitting .179 in 16 games this month. "Hes got some changes in his meniscus in his knee and also has some inflammation in his knee that concerns us," Sheridan said. "We did a cortisone injection with him (Sunday) and hes not available to play tonight and we will just treat him day to day right now and go from there." Howard is batting .245 with six home runs and 22 RBIs in 41 games. He has been replaced at first base by Michael Young. "If he doesnt respond to the treatment weve provided so far, youve got to re-evaluate what youre doing," Sheridan said. "At no point are we going to put Ryan out there to risk it." Right-handed pitcher Mike Adams (back strain) was placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to May 11. Catcher Humberto Quintero has been recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

The Crusaders are vowing to make amends for a miserable Pacific experience when they host the injury-riddled Melbourne Rebels in Christchurch.Coach Todd Blackadder says motivation wont be a problem for Saturdays game against the 12th-placed visitors after their 23-13 loss to the Chiefs in Fiji last week - a pivotal result at the top of the New Zealand conference.Their timing was awful two rounds out from the playoffs, dropping from first overall to third, two points behind South Africas Lions and one point behind the Chiefs.Blackadder lamented a performance laden with mistakes and poor option-taking in rain-hit Suva, which could prove very costly when the final playoff makeup is confirmed.We cant afford to look back but that was a big opportunity missed. This team was down on Monday and deservedly so, Blackadder said.That was probably our most disappointing performance of the year.

I got taught a lesson or three there. He was one of the most under-rated locks in international rugby. ' ' '
