Chamberlain was placed on the 15-day disabled list last Wednesday because of rotator cuff tendinitis in his pitching shoulder.

This Story

The 22-year-old was removed from his start Aug. 4 against the Rangers in the fifth inning with stiffness in his shoulder. He expects to rejoin the Yankees' rotation before the end of the month.

Also, DH-LF Hideki Matsui ran the bases for the first time since being sidelined in late June by a left knee injury. He could start playing in minor league rehab games soon.

· CAREY REMEMBERED: Skip Caray, the voice of the Braves for more than three decades, was remembered at a memorial service for simple contributions like cracking jokes to players in the clubhouse and his cries of "Braves win!" during the 1995 World Series. Caray, who came from a dynasty of baseball commentators -- including his father, Hall of Famer Harry Caray-- died Aug. 3 at his home.

· SUSPENDED: Padres bench coach Craig Colbert was suspended one game for a dispute with umpires last week.

Colbert will serve the penalty tonight when the Padres play the Brewers. He was also fined an undisclosed amount by MLB disciplinarian Bob Watson.

· SUSPENDED FOR DRUGS: Three Reds minor leaguers were suspended 50 games each after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs.

All three players were part of the Reds' Dominican summer league teams. Pitchers Jonathan Correa and Elvin Silvestre were penalized for using boldenone and Cesar Colmenares tested positive for nandrolone.
