Rays Sam Fuld Jersey manager

WASHINGTON -- Ty Wigginton said he had no idea his fourth-inning RBI single Authentic Matt Joyce Jersey against the Nationals' John Lannan in Friday night's game hit the pitcher in the nose

until he saw Lannan leave the field.The injury could've been much worse than the nasal contusion that Lannan suffered during the Rockies' 3-2 victory."I just though it

hit his glove," Wigginton said. "I didn't think it hit him. I didn't know what was going on. Then when I saw him go in, I told the first baseman, 'Hey, when you go in,

make sure he knows I asked about him."Wigginton said he has seen his share of scary comebackers hit pitchers."I'll never forget Jose Valverde when I was with Houston,"

Wigginton said. "He refused to leave the field. He had a big knot growing out of the side of his head and proceeded to strike out the side. That was one of the most

impressive ones I've ever seen."Tulo returns to action, hopeful for All-Star GameWASHINGTON -- Beyond the groundskeepers at Nationals Park and a Matt Joyce Jersey few other observers,

no one was there Saturday to see Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki make the plays that usually elicit cheers from his fans. The dashing fielding plays and twisting

throws went off without as much as an ouch.That test out of the way, Tulowitzki declared himself able to play against the Nationals on Saturday night, after missing

the last four games with a strain of his right quadriceps. "I want to be myself, and I think I will be," Authentic Sam Fuld Jersey Tulowitzki said.By playing, Tulowitzki also put himself in

line to possibly start in the All-Star Game on Tuesday night in Phoenix. With the starter elected by the fans, the Mets' Jose Reyes, out with a left hamstring injury,

Tulowitzki could start in the Midsummer Classic for the Authentic David Price Jersey first time. Tulowitzki, who was Authentic Austin Jackson Jersey invited as a reserve last year but did not play because of a wrist injury, was

second in NL shortstop fan voting and could be the Rockies' first All-Star starter since 2008, when then-Rockies manager Clint Hurdle made outfielder Matt Holliday a

starter because of another injury. Giants manager Bruce Bochy will make the decision on the starter.For Tulowitzki, bursting out of the batter's box is still an

unknown. But had he not been able to perform the defensive maneuvers, he would not have played Saturday, David Price Jersey and would not be a candidate for action in the All-Star Game.

Tulowitzki added that whether he plays in the All-Star Game also depends on how he feels after playing Saturday night and, he hopes, Sunday afternoon for the

Rockies."Nothing is game-like, so if I do feel something, I'm going to be honest with these guys," said Tulowitzki. "But I think I'm in a good spot."The concerns are

defensively, the first step, and you'll never know when you're going to have to score, Austin Jackson Jersey have to turn it on. Those are things you can only test out during the game. [The

ability to make tough defensive plays] is part of my game. It helps the team win. I don't want to go out there and not give them everything I've got."On Friday,

Rockies manager Jim Tracy expressed concern that Bochy not "grind on" Tulowitzki by playing him too much in the All-Star Game. Tulowitzki, however, said that isn't a

concern. It's even less a concern if he starts the game."The All-Star Game is not something where you run a guy out there for nine innings," said Tulowitzki, who said

he has not heard anything about starting officially. "I'll play a few innings, get an at-bat or two, then take it on in. Nothing will be grinding. And if I am

starting, usually the guy that gets the brunt of the work if it goes a couple of extra innings is Rays David Price Jersey the backup guy."CarGo sits out to rest sore right wristWASHINGTON --

Rockies center fielder Carlos Gonzalez did not start Saturday night's game against the Nationals because of new soreness in his right Sam Fuld Jersey wrist, and it is certain he will

not start Sunday. This would give Gonzalez, who was hot before the injury, two extra days in addition to the All-Star break to heal.Gonzalez injured his wrist last

Sunday while crashing Rays Matt Joyce Jersey into the wall at Coors Field while making a catch. He returned for Friday's series opener, but went 0-for-4 with a strikeout, and by the eighth

inning the pain was so searing that all he could do was attempt to bunt for a base hit with two out and no one on base.Rockies Rays Sam Fuld Jersey manager Jim Tracy said he kept Gonzalez

in the game for defensive purposes at the end of the game. Tracy would not Authentic Evan Longoria Jersey rule out using Gonzalez on Saturday night or Sunday for defense in a tight game.Rogers

struggles, Fowler heating up at Triple-AWASHINGTON -- Rockies right-handed pitcher Esmil Rogers struggled in an injury rehab appearance for Triple-A Colorado Springs

on Friday night, giving up six hits and three runs in 3 1/3 innings. But switch-hitting center fielder Dexter Fowler, trying to regain his hitting stroke from the left

side, took a forward step Evan Longoria Jersey by going 3-for-4 with a home run in the 7-6 victory over Salt Lake City.Rogers is coming back from lat and midsection injuries, Tigers Austin Jackson Jersey and is

expected to make at least one more start at Colorado Springs.Fowler has a .236 batting average in Triple-A, but over the last 10 games has hit .405 with the homer,

four doubles and a triple. The Rockies want Fowler to shorten his swing from the left side, and establish an identity as a contact hitter and bunt threat who Rays Evan Longoria Jersey can use

his speed as an offensive weapon.
