Sheffield was kept overnight so he could undergo tests to determine the cause of his symptoms. His availability for today's game was uncertain. Sheffield's wife, DeLeon, called Dodgers trainer Stan Johnston at approximately 9 a.m. to alert the Dodgers of Sheffield's condition. Dodgers team physician Dr. Michael Melman was consulted and decided to put Sheffield through a series of tests at Centinela Hospital Medical Center in Inglewood. ``Upon the reccommendation of team physician Dr. Mickey Mellman, Gary Sheffield will be kept at Centinela Medical Center overnight for testing,'' Dodgers spokesman John Olguin said. Sheffield, 32, went 2 for 5 in the Dodgers' win Wednesday against Montreal. ``We were joking around after the game last night and he was fine,'' Johnston said. Johnston said the decision to send Sheffield to the hospital was precautionary. In his place, Bruce Aven David Bruce Aven (Born March 4, 1972 in Orange, Texas), is a former Major League Baseball outfielder.

Ashby hasn't begun a throwing program yet and the Dodgers are pointing toward spring training for his return, but Ashby hasn't given up on pitching again at the end of the season. He said he would like to work toward making a start or two as the season winds down, if his elbow allows. ``Whether I pitch again, I'd love to,'' said Ashby, who was 2-0 with a 3.86 ERA in two starts this season. ``It'd be great, but I don't know Don't know (DK, DKed) "Don't know the trade."

However, since Ashby is under contract for 2002 and 2003, the Dodgers might not want to chance his long-term health for a start or two in September. --Baldwin ready: Dodgers right-hander James Baldwin threw his bullpen session prior to the game, curveballs included, and said he will have no problem pitching Saturday against the Mets. Baldwin was scratched from his Wednesday start because of a strained oblique muscle in his left side. ``It feels like I can go out there and win a ballgame,'' Baldwin said. ``I didn't care what happened (in the bullpen) because I wasn't missing another start.''
