It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of - Pitcher Aaron Sele Aaron Helmer Sele (born June 25, 1970 in Golden Valley, Minnesota) is an MLB right-handed pitcher who plays for the New York Mets. His family moved to Poulsbo, Washington, a Scandinavian town on the Kitsap Peninsula, where Aaron pitched for North Kitsap High School. was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday because of a partial rotator cuff tear Rotator cuff tears are problems of the rotator cuff muscles of the shoulder. One or more rotator cuff tendons may become inflamed from overuse, aging, a fall on an outstretched hand, or a collision. in his right shoulder. With rest and physical therapy, Sele is expected to miss two to three weeks. After coming out of Tuesday's game, during which he gave up seven runs in five innings against the Yankees, Sele told manager Mike Scioscia Sele (8-9, 4.91 ERA) visited Dr. Andy Rokito in New York on Wednesday morning and had X-rays and an MRI 1.

A little,'' Sele said when asked about the diagnosis. ``I know it's been grinding and barking and I found out why.'' Said Scioscia: ``Naturally you're concerned about a rotator cuff rotator cuff n. A set of muscles and tendons that secures the arm to the shoulder joint and permits rotation of the arm. Also called musculotendinous cuff. , but we're confident he can come back 100 percent.'' It will mark the first time this season an Angel starter is unable to make a start because of an injury. Only six pitchers have started for the Angels this season and the only change came when John Lackey John Derran Lackey (born October 23, 1978, in Abilene, Texas) is a major league baseball starting pitcher from Abilene, Texas. He has played for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim his entire career. replaced Scott Schoeneweis Scott David Schoeneweis [SHOW-en-WEISS] (born October 2, 1973, in Long Branch, New Jersey) is an American left-handed relief pitcher in Major League Baseball. He plays for the New York Mets. in the rotation because of Schoeneweis' inconsistency. The Angels called up left-handed reliever Mark Lukasiewicz from Triple-A Salt Lake (Utah) to replace Sele on the roster, but he could return to Salt Lake on Sunday, when Sele's turn in the rotation comes around again. The Angels have a number of pitchers they're considering to take Sele's spot, including Schoeneweis and fellow relievers Al Levine and Scot Shields Scot Shields (b. July 22, 1975, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida) is a Major League Baseball relief pitcher with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, with whom he has spent his entire career, serving as their setup man since 2005. . But Scioscia hinted the replacement probably will come from Triple-A so the bullpen is not disrupted. ``The thing about Schoeneweis is he's been very effective in his role (in the bullpen),'' Scioscia said. ``We don't want to hurt our overall balance.'' At Salt Lake, Matt Wise is injured, leaving Lou Pote Louis William Pote (born August 27, 1971 in Evergreen Park, Illinois) is an American former Major League Baseball player. A pitcher, Pote played for the Anaheim Angels from 1999 to 2002 and the Cleveland Indians in 2004. and Mickey Callaway as the most likely candidates. Pote spent most of the season as a reliever with the Angels before being sent to Salt Lake July 26 to make room for Troy Percival, who was coming off the DL. In five starts for the Stingers, Pote is 2-0 with a 6.15 ERA. Callaway has been with Salt Lake all season and is 9-2 with a 1.68 ERA in 17 games (14 starts), though he has missed time because of an elbow injury. --Police nab Spiezio: First baseman Scott Spiezio was spotted by reporters in a New York City New York City: see New York, city. New York City City (pop., 2000: 8,008,278), southeastern New York, at the mouth of the Hudson River. The largest city in the U.S. Police van in Manhattan late Tuesday night, but Spiezio's smile indicated he was not in any trouble. Spiezio attended a concert put on by a band made up of policemen in the park across the street from Yankee Stadium after Tuesday's game. Spiezio, who is the lead singer/songwriter of his own band, Sandfrog, was invited to play with the band, but he declined. However, he did need a ride back to the hotel, and the police obliged. ``I was thinking, 'What if my teammates see me coming out of that van?' '' Spiezio said. ``I was hoping somebody would see me.'' --Win needed for series: Today's game against the Yankees is the last regular-season game between the two teams this season. With the two teams having split the six games so far, the Angels need to win tonight to win the season series. The Angels haven't lost a season series with the Yankees since 1998.
