NEW YORK -- A day after right-hander Noah Syndergaard and outfielder Yoenis Cespedes departed a game with injuries, both New York Mets players were scratched from Tuesdays All-Star Game. Keith Tkachuk Jersey .Chicago Cubs outfielder Dexter Fowler also had to withdraw on Saturday due to a hamstring injury.They will be replaced by San Diego Padres left-hander Drew Pomeranz, Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marté and Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jay Bruce.Marcell Ozuna and Carlos Gonzalez now will start for the National League in the outfield. Cespedes and Fowler originally had been selected as starters via fan balloting. Syndergaard and Fowler -- both first-time All-Stars -- plan to attend the festivities in San Diego. Cespedes does not plan to travel to the event.Syndergaard might have been NL manager Terry Collins selection to start on the mound, but an issue that arose during Fridays game against the Washington Nationals takes that decision off the table.Syndergaards fastball dipped to 91 mph in the fifth inning and he was pulled midway through an at-bat by Jayson Werth. The Mets labeled Syndergaards issue arm fatigue and insisted it is unrelated to a previously diagnosed elbow problem.Syndergaard is taking anti-inflammatory medication to combat a bone spur in his pitching elbow. The spur is small enough that team officials say it will not need to be surgically removed this offseason.Cespedes departed Fridays game in the third inning with a strained right quadriceps. He indicated that he had a similar issue in spring training in 2015 with the Detroit Tigers and missed only four or five days. The hope is that Cespedes will be available when the Mets open the second half on Friday in Philadelphia, but it is not clear yet whether Cespedes can avoid a trip to the disabled list.Fowler has a lingering hamstring issue. He has been out since June 18, when he slowed up as he approached first base. His first rehab game was Friday night for Class A South Bend. Fowler felt he would not be ready to participate in San Diego. He and the Cubs hope he can be ready for the start of the second half when the Cubs host the Texas Rangers on Friday.Pomeranz becomes the second representative for the host Padres, joining first baseman Wil Myers. Its his first All-Star selection, though he already has 102.0 IP. His previous career-high was 96.2 in 2012. His 2.47 ERA is fifth in MLB -- the best of any qualified pitcher not named an All-Star. Pomeranz is 8-7 in 17 starts. He already has set single-season career records for wins, innings and strikeouts.Marté is a first-time selection. He has career-highs in batting average (.316) with 19 doubles, four triples, six homers, 32 RBIs and 27 steals.Bruce also was an All-Star in 2011 and 2012. He is hitting .265 with 19 doubles, six triples, 18 homers and 62 RBIs. He has a .539 slug percentage.?In the American League, injured Boston Red Sox closer Craig Kimbrel will be replaced by Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Aaron Sanchez. Sanchez is 9-1 with a 2.94 ERA this season.Kimbrel will undergo surgery to repair a medial meniscus tear in his left knee and is expected to miss three to six weeks, the Red Sox announced Saturday.ESPNs Jesse Rogers contributed to this story.

JOHNS, N. http://www.jetsauthentic.com/authentic-n...rs-jets-jersey/ . -- When the Florida Panthers fell behind by two goals in the first period to the top team in the NHL, it appeared they were on their way to yet another loss. CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Panthers coach Ron Rivera said hes involved in ongoing discussions with the NFL and the Players Association about ways to make sure league MVP Cam Newton is given the same protection in the pocket as other smaller quarterbacks.Newton blasted NFL officiating following Sundays game against the Arizona Cardinals after taking a shot to his lower right leg from defensive tackle Calais Campbell as he was releasing the ball. Campbell was not flagged for the hit and the Panthers settled for a short field goal rather than an automatic first down.Newton said after the game, I could have torn my ACL.I would like to see our quarterback get those calls, a calm, but stern Rivera said Monday.Newton said Sunday that officials arent doing enough to protect him and he doesnt feel safe on the field, which is taking the fun out of the game for him.Rivera stood behind his quarterback on Monday, saying Newtons comments are correct and he supports him 100 percent.Rivera reiterated what he said in September after his QB took four helmet-to-helmet hits in a loss to the Denver Broncos -- that Newton doesnt get the calls because of his 6-foot-5, 245-pound frame.When (smaller quarterbacks) get hit, they roll around on the ground. When he gets hit, he absorbs them -- and it doesnt look as bad, Rivera said. ... Its about making sure he is getting the equal treatment he deserves as a quarterback in the pocket.Rivera was criticized for not being more vocal on the sideline and during postgame press conferences about the hits Newton has absorbed.Former NFL coach Tony Dungy said on NBCs Football Night in America on Sunday that Cam should not have to be the one saying this. His head coach, his owner and everybody in the organization should be saying this.Rivera said he doesnt get upset on the sideline because he knows game officials have a difficult job to do and he appreciates meaningful conversations rather than engaging in a shouting match.But Rivera said he has been constantly working behind the scenes with the NFL and the Players Association oon resolving the issue. Laurie Boschman Jets Jersey. . He and general manager Dave Gettleman had another conversation with the league office on Monday morning.This is something I work on every week, quite frankly, Rivera said. I dont talk about it because its between me and the league and this team. This is something that has become public because of Cams statements.Rivera suggested the NFL needs to add an eighth referee to help monitor hits on the quarterback. He said using replay would be a good option for reviewing questionable hits.That is something hes expected to raise in the NFL competition committee meeting next spring. In the meantime, Rivera said hes confident the league and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell will do everything they can to protect Newton this season.The league is looking into these things -- and not just for Cam but for all quarterbacks, Rivera said.Newton suggested after the game that he would like to talk personally to Goodell about his concerns.That could happen.The commissioner often speaks to current and former players throughout the year, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in an email.Newtons comments were a hot topic on sports TV shows.ESPN football analyst and former NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb said Monday that he agrees wholeheartedly with Newtons comments.I have been in that situation, McNabb said Monday on ESPN. When you are behind the line of scrimmage, you are a passer. When I am looking to throw the ball down the field and I get ear-holed or if I get hit low, the referee has to throw the flag. Cam is absolutely right -- if Tom Brady gets hit low then they are going to throw a flag.Newton said Sunday that hes tired of officials telling him they missed a call.Enough is enough, Newton said Sunday. I dont know what I have to do. ... I dont think there is a person that can go through what I go through and still keep their head.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
