Thornton, though, doesn't mind the long ball, as long he's challenging hitters. "I'm not scared of giving up homers. I throw strikes, so ...

  • Peavy not yet cleared to begin working out

    Email HOUSTON -- Jake Peavy feels "a whole lot better moving around" where the fractured rib on his left side is concerned, an injury that sent the White Sox right-hander to the disabled list retroactive to June 5.

    Email ST. LOUIS -- You will no longer see Carlos Marmol closing for the Cubs. Manager Dale Sveum said Marmol, who blew a three-run lead in the ninth Sunday against the Mets while subbing for Kevin Gregg, would be back in his role as a late-inning reliever.
