MIAMI -- The Miami Marlins and Cincinnati Reds are teams headed in opposite directions, but they do have at least one thing in common. Bobby Ryan Jersey .Developments on Friday have both organizations looking for possible reinforcements.The Marlins (45-41) are looking for a fifth starter after announcing earlier in the day that they were demoting Justin Nicolino to the minors for the second time this season.Meanwhile, the Reds are likely looking for a temporary second baseman while veteran Brandon Phillips recovers from a hairline fracture on his left hand. He suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch on Friday night in Miamis 3-1, series-opening win.Phillips could try to play with the injury, but more will be known on Saturday in the middle game of a series between the teams that concludes on Sunday.Nicolino was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans, a move that was no surprise because he was 0-5 with a 6.31 ERA in his past 10 major league starts.His spot in the rotation will come up again after the All-Star break, on July 19.Were looking for the best alternative, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said of the Nicolino spot in the rotation. Were not committed to Nico getting the next start. We dont have to make that decision right now. Were trying to find the right combination of guys to win games.Among the trade possibilities are Julio Teheran of the Atlanta Braves, but that would require Miami to send back significant minor league talent. The problem there is that the Marlins farm system is thin at the moment.Other starters who may be available include San Diegos Andrew Cashner and Tyson Ross, Philadelphia Jeremy Hellickson, Minnesotas Ervin Santana, Oaklands Rich Hill and Tampa Bays Drew Smyly.Oaklands Sonny Gray and Tampa Bays Matt Moore are other potential targets.Meanwhile, for the Reds, Jose Peraza stepped in and played second base after Phillips was hit by a Jose Fernandez changeup in the seventh inning.Peraza, a 22-year-old from Venezuela, will apparently get the first shot at second base if Phillips is unable to play with the injury. Peraza originally signed with the Atlanta Braves six years ago and made his major league debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers last season.He has battled hamstring injuries and was acquired by the Reds this past December. After starting the 2016 season at Triple-A Louisville, Peraza made his Reds debut on May 13.Now he may step into a larger-than-expected role.In Saturday game, Miami will start left-hander Adam Conley (5-5, 3.65 ERA). He is 1-0 with a 3.60 ERA against the Reds, making his only appearance against Cincinnati last season.The Reds will counter with left-hander John Lamb (1-5, 5.43 ERA). It will be his first appearance against the Marlins. The Reds have lost his past three starts and nine of his 12 for the year. Nicolas Deslauriers Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. Josh Manson Jersey .

Miikka Kiprusoff had just announced his retirement after a decade-long run in Calgary and it would be up to Berra and Ramo to fill the void. Coach Alan Richardson has named Jarryn Geary, David Armitage and Jack Steven as potential leadership replacements after St Kilda AFL legend Nick Riewoldts likely move to hand over the captaincy at the end of this season.The AFLs longest-serving skipper told the Nine Network this week he expected this season would be his last in charge of the Saints, even though it would leave him agonisingly short of a record.I think it is time, he said.I certainly hope between now and the rest of the year someone puts their hand up and takes the job next year.Riewoldt will edge ahead of the late Ted Whitten in third place on the list of all-time games played as an AFL captain when he leads St Kilda for the 213rd time against Essendon on Sunday at Etihad Stadium.He will be on 220 games if he plays every match for the rest of the season, six behind Carltons Steve Kernahan and four short of the Bombers Dick Reynolds.Richardson said Riewoldts decision was a sign of his incredible selflessness.He embraces the role and hes as impressive a leader as Ive ever worked with, he told reporters on Friday.The reality is that its probably getting to that time where we need someone else to come through. Frederik Andersen Jersey. It would be great for that leader to have Nick at least for another year to work with him so I think something like that will happen.I think he would be disappointed if we hadnt identified someone for 2017 to be our skipper.Richardson said Geary, Armitage and Steven had each shown good leadership when filling in.He also admitted he was not sure when young forward Paddy McCartin would be medically cleared to play again, although it would be this year.Richardson pointed out the shaken Saint had passed the concussion test that would have allowed him to resume last weekend against Gold Coast.All the initial tests are positive. Some of the external tests with neurologists are ongoing, but hes heading in a positive direction, Richardson said.Well be a bit more cautious given its his third one (concussion).Im not sure when Paddy will be back. We think it will be much sooner rather than later and he will play significant footy for us this year. ' ' '
