CINCINNATI, Ohio -- The Reds put right-handed reliever Jonathan Broxton on the 15-day disabled list Saturday with a sore pitching elbow, expecting to have him back in two weeks. Broxtons elbow bothered him during the week. He had an ultrasound on Friday that found swelling in the elbow. Manager Dusty Baker said the problem doesnt appear to be serious. "Actually, it turned out better than it could have," Baker said. "Theres no structural damage, no ligament damage. Thats a big plus. This will give it time to clear up. He could be throwing in two or three days, so its not too bad of a situation. He could be ready to go when his time is up." Broxton pitched the 14th inning and took the loss in a 6-5 defeat at Wrigley Field on Thursday. Baker was trying not to use him, but the long game forced his hand. "They assured us in the beginning that we couldnt make it worse by pitching," Baker said. "If it had been structural, we wouldve put him on the DL right away. If anything, were overly cautious, especially at this time of year. If it was September, it might be a different story." The Reds replaced him on the roster -- at least temporarily -- by calling up right-handed starter Pedro Villarreal, who was brought up from Triple-A Louisville earlier in the month to make an emergency start for Johnny Cueto. Villarreal lasted 3 2-3 innings in a 12-4 loss to Colorado on June 5 at Great American Ball Park, giving up 10 hits, six runs and three homers. He was sent back to Louisville. Cueto is on the disabled list for the second time this season with soreness behind his right shoulder. The Reds plan to activate him on Sunday to start the final game of the series against Milwaukee. The Reds called up left-hander Tony Cingrani to start in Cuetos spot last week. Baker said theres a chance Cingrani could stay on the roster when Cueto is activated, giving Cincinnati another reliever for its worn-down bullpen. The Reds played back-to-back extra-inning games on Thursday and Friday.Mookie Wilson Jersey Large . -- Matt Ryan needed one of the best games of his career to lead the Falcons and their depleted offence out of their three-game losing streak last week. Custom Mookie Wilson Jersey .C. -- When North Carolina freshman Ryan Switzer reported to training camp in August he was a little miffed to learn he was third on the depth chart at punt returner. http://www.custommetsjersey.com/ . Still, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke thought taking him out before the fifth inning was an unusual move. "Im looking up at the board and hes got two hits given up and one run, and Im taking him out after the fourth inning," Roenicke said. Wholesale Custom Mets Shirts . LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St. Custom Mets Jerseys .C. -- Charlotte Bobcats coach Steve Clifford said after all of these years in the NBA hes still amazed at some of the things LeBron James does.FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The Patriots surprised many around the NFL last month when they traded linebacker Jamie Collins to the Cleveland Browns.It created yet another adjustment for a defense that was already dealing with an injury to linebacker Jonathan Freeny and the offseason trade of pass rusher Chandler Jones.By parting ways with Collins, they not only jettisoned what might have been the most athletic player on New Englands roster, but also instantly put a lot more on the shoulders of veteran linebacker Donta Hightower, second-year player Trey Flowers and rookie Elandon Roberts.The first taste of life without Collins was on Sunday against the Seahawks, and after a 31-24 loss that included the Patriots defense getting pushed around at times late in the game, it appears that unit might take time before it completely figures things out.New England gave up a season-high 31 points to the Seahawks , and allowed an opponent to gain 400 or more yards for the second time this season.Its certainly not all one thing, but in total we obviously need to do a better job than what were doing, coach Bill Belichick said of some of his teams defensive breakdowns Sunday. Thats all the way across the board, all the areas of the defense; front, coverage, run defense, turnovers, you name it. Its not all bad, but it needs to be better.The Patriots did hold the Seahawks to a field goal on four of their seven trips inside the red zone, while sacking Russell Wilson three times.But Wilson managed three touchdown passes on Seattles other three red zone opportunities, including a ppivotal eight-play, 48-yard drive capped by a 15-yard pass to Doug Baldwin early in the fourth quarter.dddddddddddd. The Patriots struggled to get any pressure up front on Wilson during the drive, which took only 4:05 off the clock.We just struggled, Flowers said. It was a tough game, we played a good team. We left some plays out there, no doubt about it.Despite the miscues, there were individual bright spots to build on.The most promising effort might have come from Flowers, who posted his second straight two-sack game in his first career start at defensive end.Meanwhile Roberts, elevated to Collins old spot in the starting lineup Sunday, was credited with only one solo tackle while assisting on three more.After dealing with an early-season knee issue, Hightower continued to be productive with his second 10-tackle game of 2016. But with seven games left, he could certainly use some help from his teammates.Despite the shortcomings, defensive captain Devin McCourty said hes confident they will be able to figure things out.I think weve got room for improvement, he said. We make a couple of stops, not just in the red (zone) area, but early on drives (and) on long drives -- I think we come out with a win. The offense moved the ball. We just gotta get a couple of stops to help out.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Kyle Hightower on Twitter a http://www.twitter.com/khightower ' ' '
