Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Arizona Diamondbacks placed starting
outfielder Eric Byrnes on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday with a torn
left hamstring.
The move sends Byrnes back to the bench after a month on the DL with injuries
to both hamstrings. Byrnes re-injured the hamstring while trying to steal
third in Monday's 6-3 victory over Milwaukee.
Byrnes missed 25 games in his first trip to the disabled list this season. He
is batting just .209 with six home runs and 23 RBI over 52 games this season.
The Diamondbacks purchased the contract of right-handed pitcher Connor
Robertson from Triple-A Tucson to take Byrnes' roster spot.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
