NEW YORK – It was only 338 days ag in this city, but at its other big league ballpark, Citi Field, that Steve Delabar was one of four Blue Jays representing the disappointing 2013 version of the ball club at the All-Star Game. Arturo Vidal Jersey . On Tuesday afternoon in this city, but at its American League cathedral in the Bronx, Delabar was given the news that he was being optioned, the technical term for a demotion, to Triple-A Buffalo. “Its the business,” said Delabar. “Im not crushed or beat up. I understand the move. Its obviously a team move. They have to do this or designate someone and they dont want to do that so Im the guy right now. Theyre going to send me out.” The Blue Jays found themselves in a roster predicament thanks to two injuries that, while considered relatively minor, have left them short a bench player and a reliever. Brett Cecil tweaked his groin in the eighth inning on Friday night. He was not available for the two weekend games in Baltimore and was to be used only in a pinch on Tuesday night in New York. The ailment which affected Delabars status is Adam Linds. He fouled a pitch off his right foot in the sixth inning on Saturday. He required the assistance of a golf cart to get off the team bus on Sunday. Lind wore a walking boot and was on crutches, making the injury optically worse than the Jays say it is. “Thats just a precautionary think to take the weight off it,” said general manager Alex Anthopoulos. “The walking boot allows it to heal a lot sooner.” Lind is “day-to-day,” Anthopouloss words, and wasnt ruled out for Wednesdays game. Lets let the general manager explain. “The fact that we had the off-day, our bullpen is fresh and we needed to make a move,” said Anthopoulos. “Delabar hasnt performed as well as he did last year. He can use the consistent work. Its just a combination of things. We needed to clear up a spot to get an infielder up here and out of the relievers that were there, Chad (Jenkins) provided us a little more length right now and we can get Steve the work as well. That was the move for us, unless we were going to go the DL route.” Regardless of the reasons, this stings Delabar. He pitched to a 3.22 ERA and a 2.72 FIP in 58 2/3 innings in 2013, a key part of a strong bullpen, which was the saving grace of an injured, bad team. Now, he was at best the third right-handed bullpen option leading to Casey Janssen. Dustin McGowan took Delabars coveted eighth-inning role weeks ago and Sergio Santos, back from the disabled list, will get a chance to reestablish himself as a viable right-handed, late-inning guy. Delabars main issue has been fastball command. Hes seen his walk rate jump from 11.5 per cent last year to 14.8 per cent in 2014. Delabars strikeout rate has plummeted. He whiffed 32.4 per cent of enemy hitters in 2013 compared with 19.4 per cent this season. “Some small mechanical things that I was off line and it was causing me to be a little erratic in my command,” said Delabar. “Kind of cleaned that stuff up recently and theres really nothing to go down and really clean up; its just go down there and get some consistent innings and just work on what Ive been doing.” Munenori Kawasaki was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo and started at second base on Tuesday night. Kawasaki was hitting .276/.320/.388 and 11 of his 32 hits for the Bisons were doubles. “We dont know how long the move is going to be for,” said Anthopoulos. “Hes on the (40-man) roster, its a left-handed bat, were not facing any left-hander, will give you a good at-bat and you know all the other stuff he brings and so on. Hes someone who can grind an at-bat and the fact we dont face any left-handers, it makes sense for us. And he can also play the outfield if we needed him to.” Leon Goretzka Jersey . Those who impressed in each of the three events were asked to attend the main CFL Combine which begins Friday in Toronto. Rafinha Jersey .Y. -- Syracuse guard Trevor Cooney was mired in a shooting slump, and his woes coincided with a late-season swoon by the Orange. http://www.fcmunichpro.com/Kids-Meritan-Shabani-Jersey/ . "I love the game, its the best job you can have," he explained Tuesday as the players left Joe Louis Arena for the summer. "Ill sit down with my wife and well go from there.Gareth Roderick is hopeful Gloucestershire can flourish at a new-look County Ground to follow up last seasons one-day heroics. Roderick will captain their County Championship team this season, with Michael Klinger taking over in the limited-overs formats, and the wicketkeeper batsman is relishing his new challenge.Gloucestershire won the Royal London One-Day Cup last year, and the county are looking for further success on and off the field. Much has changed in recent years at the County Ground, with a £6m redevelopment needed to keep the ground on the international list, and new permanent floodlights have recently been erected.Roderick says the changes have added to the positivity around the club, and he hopes there will be a big improvement in their four-day form in 2016.Were making strides on and off the field to move in the right direction as a club, Roderick told Sky Sports News HQ. Talismanic bastman Michael Klinger is expected back at the end of May I feel like we are doing that quite well, and hopefully the presence of these (floodlights) - you can see them for miles around - will help draw in bigger crowds for T20 on Friday nights.The captaincy is going to be a challenge. The lads in the changing room have been real good so far. Its going to be a learning curve but its a challenge I am looking forward to taking on and hopefully be successful in this year.Weve known for a couple of years weve been a decent one-day side and I think we are geared up to do well in both white-ball formats. Hopefully we can get back to Lords to defend our crown. Gloucestershire are looking to add further trophies after winning the Royal London One-Day Cup last summer Changes to the domestic structure mean only one team will be promoted from Division Two this season, but Roderick remains hopeful his side will be capable of mounting a challenge despite only finishing sixth in 2015. Christian Fruchtl Jersey. Of course it is going to make things tougher, but were just going to take it one week at a time starting with Essex on Sunday. We had a good win down there last year, so hopefully well do it again and start the season with a bang.Were trying to be competitive in all formats. People will probably say that our skill set is more suited to the one-day game but the guys have played enough four-day cricket to know the game. Hopefully we can challenge for that top three, put a few wins together and at the end of the season you never know where you will end up.Until Klinger arrives, Gloucestershire will have another Australian - Cameron Bancroft - as their overseas player and the Western Australia batsman is confident he will be able to adapt to English conditions. Cameron Bancroft struck three fours and three sixes off 53 balls Bancroft made his Twenty20 international debut in January after impressing in the Sheffield Shield, where he was the seventh highest run scorer, and Big Bash League.He said: Its a great opportunity to bat in conditions over here. You couldnt ask for a more challenging time than playing first-class cricket in England in April and May.As a batter all I want to do is go out and score hundreds, score as many runs as I can, and that will be the main focus for me. Maxy [Klinger] has done brilliantly for Gloucestershire the last few years and hopefully I can get the ball rolling. Also See: County build-up LIVE!
