ARLINGTON, Texas -- Texas Rangers right-hander Alexi Ogando was placed on the 15-day disabled list Thursday because of tendinitis in his right biceps. The move came a day after Ogando (4-2, 3.08 ERA) allowed two runs over six innings in a victory at Oakland, in his ninth start of the season. Manager Ron Washington said there were no issues with Ogando before or after the game in Oakland, and said he wasnt aware of the problem until he arrived at the ballpark Thursday. Washington said the move was more precautionary because Ogando prefers to pitch through soreness. The manager said the flare-up probably was the result of an increased workload for Ogando, who went back to the bullpen last year after winning 14 games as a starter in 2011. "Rather than let this drag on, we just decided that we were going to nip it in the bud and get it right," Washington said. "If he was still in the bullpen, it probably wouldnt have been an issue." Ogando, who was scheduled to have an MRI, is on the disabled list for the second time in his career. He missed a month last season because of a strained right groin. Texas recalled right-hander Cory Burns from Triple-A Round Rock, where he has spent all season. Burns only major league action came last season with San Diego, when he was 0-1 with a 5.50 ERA in 17 relief appearances. Burns will be in the bullpen, and Josh Lindblom is expected to take Ogandos turn in the rotation Monday. Lindblom was acquired as a reliever when the Rangers sent Michael Young to Philadelphia in the off-season, but hes been starting at Triple-A Round Rock after a rough start in the Texas bullpen. Lindblom is 4-0 with a 2.08 ERA and 33 strikeouts in 43 1-3 innings at Round Rock after giving up 14 hits and seven runs in 10 1-3 innings with the Rangers. "Hes using his stuff extremely well, velocity coming back," Washington said. "It seems like when we decided to start him, things began to work better for him." Discount Sneakers .

Hes been plagued by foot injuries over the past two seasons and didnt get the opportunity to step onto the court until two years after being drafted. But Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid is finally healthy and is playing at a historic level in his first?seven games.The 2014 third-overall draftee?is on a minutes restriction and doesnt play in games in which?the Sixers are on a back-to-back. Hes averaging just 22.1 minutes per contest.But per 36 minutes, Embiids name is currently among some of the NBA greats.Embiid is averaging 29.3 points per 36 minutes,?the most in league?history among those who have played a minimum of 100 minutes. Travis Grant, who is ?the all-time leading scorer in NCAA history from Kentucky State, is second on that list at 29.0 points per 36 minutes, Michael Jordan is third at 28.3 points, and George Gervin is fourth at 28.2 points.While Embiid didnt enter the league as a 3-point threat, the former Kansas Jayhawk is knocking down 1.6 3s per 36 minutes.

Hes ahead of Shaquille ONeal, Hakeem Olajuwon, David Robinson and Patrick Ewing in points, rebounds and blocks per 36 minutes.The one downside to Embiids play early on has been his excessive amount of turnovers. While there are 250 players in the NBA who have played more minutes than Embiid, only 13 of them have more turnovers. Hes averaging 7.7 turnovers per 36 minutes,?three more than any player who has?played at least 2,000 minutes since individual turnovers became official in 1977-78.And no player in league history has finished a season with a usage rate of 40 percent or more, but Embiid is on his way to doing so. He trails only Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook in that category. ' ' '
