BALTIMORE -- A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press that Baltimore Orioles third baseman Manny Machado will "probably" have season-ending surgery on his injured right knee. Daniel Descalso Jersey . The person spoke to the AP on Friday under condition of anonymity because there was no official confirmation of Machados plans. A decision was expected this weekend. Yahoo! Sports first reported earlier in the day that the 22-year-old All-Star was likely done for the year. The Orioles began the day with a nine-game lead in the AL East, the biggest division margin in the majors. Machado is hitting .278 with 12 home runs and 32 RBIs in 82 games. Slugger Chris Davis, Jonathan Schoop and Ryan Flaherty also have played third base for Baltimore this year. Machado sprained his knee while taking an awkward swing against the New York Yankees on Aug. 11. He crumpled in the batters box, limped off the field and was on crutches after the game. Last year, Machado missed the final week of the season because of an injury to his other knee. Before their 4-1 loss Friday to the Cubs at Wrigley Field, the Orioles said Machado wouldnt be ready to return when hes eligible to come off the disabled list on Aug. 27. Last season, Machado was an All-Star, won a Gold Glove and played in every Orioles game until hurting his left knee. He had surgery and didnt play in a regular-season game this year until May 1.

Tiger Woods didnt come close to claiming either Thursday in the Farmers Insurance Open, where the seven-time champion failed to break par in the opening round for first time in his career. Shelby Miller Jersey .C. -- The RBC Cups semifinal participants were decided by a pair of overtime games. http://www.diamondbacksteamshop.com/Diamondbacks-Zack-Greinke-Kids-Jersey/ . Messier, who had been a special assistant to Rangers general manager Glen Sather, announced Thursday in a statement that he is resigning in order to "expand the game of hockey in the New York area by developing the Kingsbridge National Ice Center.NEW YORK, N.Y. - Repeat offenders for diving and their coaches will face harsher punishments as part of a series of rule changes the NHL announced. Under rules in effect for the upcoming season, a player will receive a warning for his offence, be fined US$2,000 for his second, $3,000 for his third, $4,000 for his fourth and $5,000 each for his fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth embellishment penalties. His coach will also get fined: $2,000 for the players fourth offence, $3,000 for his fifth, $4,000 for his sixth and $5,000 each for his seventh and eighth. The goal is to cut down on what general managers agreed at their March meeting was a league-wide epidemic of embellishment, with certain teams being more guilty than others. Other rule changes focus on overtime, shootouts, penalties, video review, faceoffs and the trapezoid behind the net. In an effort to cut down on shootouts, there will be a dry scrape of the ice before overtime, something that was previously done before shootouts. Teams will also change ends in overtime to play like the second period when its hard to make line changes from the defensive zone. In shootouts, coaches no longer have to submit a list of their first three shooters. Players are also no longer able to do a "spin-o-rama" on penalty shots or in a shootout, a particular change that caught the eye of Florida Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo. "Can we keep the spin-o-rama and ban the shootout instead @nhl?" Luongo tweeted from his twitter account (@strombone1). On video review, the "Situation Room&quuot; now has "broader discretion" when it comes to deciding on goals. Andrew Chafin Jersey. The hockey operations department can give referees more "guidance" on plays that include a blown whistle or intent to blow. Kicked-in goals will also have a more liberal definition as the league encourages more offence. Another effort in that area is keeping faceoffs in the offensive zone if a shot breaks the glass, goes off the side of the net and out of bounds, goes off the boards or glass and out, is tipped or deflected out by a teammate or gets stuck on top of or on the outside of the net. The trapezoid behind the net in which goaltenders can touch the puck will be expanded by two feet, something the NHL Players Association recommended to make it safer for defencemen. Faceoffs after icing calls will be different, too, as the NHL attempts to curb teams intentionally delaying the game to get extra rest. The player in the circle will be given a warning for his first violation, but instead of being replaced, the second will mean a minor penalty. As for penalties, two offences of clipping, charging, elbowing, interference, kneeing, head-butting or butt-ending with the stick will lead to a game misconduct. Tripping is also clarified to be a penalty if a player dives with his body, arm or shoulder to interfere with an opponent, even if he gets to the puck first. Moving hash marks on faceoff circles from three feet to five feet, seven inches apart will be experimented with in the pre-season before being voted on by the league and Players Association.
