Penguins Vs. Flyers
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The Philadelphia Flyers probably will be
without All-Star defenseman Kimmo Timonen for the
NHL's Eastern Conference finals against Pittsburgh.
A doctor has discovered a blood clot in his left ankle near an
area where he was hit by a puck during Game 4 of the Flyers'
second-round series against Montreal.
Timonen says a doctor told him there was a chance he could play
in a potential final series if the clot improves in the next two
weeks.
The Penguins host the Flyers in the opener tonight.
Pirates Host Braves
The Pirates host the Atlanta Braves tonight. Hear the game on WJPA 1450-AM starting at 6:40. The Pirates beat San Francisco 5-4 Thursday, sweeping the three game series.
Bucs Get Outfielder
PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pirates have acquired outfielder Jason
Michaels and cash from the Cleveland Indians for a player to be
named.
The 32-year-old Michaels was designated for assignment Tuesday.
He hit .207 with no home runs and nine RBIs in 21 games this
season. He was in his third season with Cleveland after being
drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in 1998 and making his debut
with them in 2001. Pittsburgh agreed to pay a prorated share of
$600,000, with Cleveland paying the rest of Michaels' $2.15 million
salary.
To make room on the roster, Pittsburgh optioned outfielder Nyjer
Morgan to Triple-A Indianapolis. Morgan batted .161 in 22 games for
the Pirates this season.
Michaels is expected to be in uniform when the Pirates host
Atlanta in the opener of a three-game series tonight.
