OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Chicago White Sox placed centre fielder Dewayne Wise on the 15-day disabled list Sunday with a strained right hamstring that he injured trying to score from second in a May 25 win against the Miami Marlins. Wise said he isnt able to get to his top speed without fearing his hamstring will pop. "It just hasnt gotten any better," Wise said. "I told them yesterday that at this point I cant be myself out on the field. I cant do the things that I do. It was pretty much my decision to tell them I think its best for the team to go ahead and put me on (the DL) because I cant pinch run and do stuff like that." Wise approached manager Robin Ventura to let him know the leg wasnt improving and had fear of a serious injury if he kept playing through the condition. The White Sox recalled outfielder Jordan Danks from Triple-A Charlotte to fill Wises roster spot. "Its been something thats kind of there for a while and hasnt been really able to go," Ventura said of Wise. "Hes got to get it better where he can go out and do what you need him to do, steal a base or play on occasion. ... He hasnt done a whole lot. Hamstrings are tricky. Any time you do something, it could strain. Hes the one who came to me." Also Sunday, Chicago first baseman and designated hitter Paul Konerko sat out because of recurring stiffness in his neck. He believes he will play Monday at Seattle and perhaps even be available off the bench in the finale against the As. Konerko was receiving treatment before the series finale against the Oakland Athletics. He had a hard time getting comfortable sleeping overnight into Sunday morning. "Better but not out of the woods," he said. "Just keep working it out of there. Much better than yesterday as far as releasing. Not really worried about it. I can get back in there if not later today hopefully tomorrow for sure if it keeps going away at the pace its going. I have these once a year for the last few years for some reason. They kind of stop you in your tracks when you get them but then theyre kind of gone not long after that." The White Sox announced that Ventura will miss games against the As in Chicago next Thursday and Friday to attend his daughters high school graduation. Bench coach Mark Parent will manage the team Thursday, then he leaves for Friday and Saturdays games for a family graduation of his own, and also in California. Pitching coach Don Cooper will manage the club Friday at home against Oakland. Special assistant Vance Law will join the team for three games to provide another coach, then Ventura is scheduled to return next Saturday. Cheap Jordan 12 From China .

With the short-handed Warriors needing help from someone -- anyone -- to stop a three-game skid, ONeal returned from right knee and groin injuries that had sidelined him for four games and put up season highs with 18 points and eight rebounds.

After Mondays hard-fought loss, the wait seemed longer than usual. Getting set to go their separate ways for a short Christmas break, the Raptors coach credited his team for their effort on a seemingly impossible three-game road trip, urging them to build on that success when they get back to work at the end of the week. Perhaps the bookies have been too busy ogling Australias stunning meltdowns in Perth and Hobart, for its fair to say that Englands improbably strong showing in the first Test at Rajkot hasnt shifted many preconceptions about the eventual outcome of their series against India.The 5-0 whitewash may now be out of the question, but India remain 1/5 favourites with Bet365 to seal the series victory. England, at 17/2 in what is now a four-match shootout (they were 11/1 this time last week) remain a tempting option given the success of both their batsmen and spin bowlers in the series opener.On that note, the market for Man of the Match at Visakhapatnam throws up some interesting odds. Adil Rashid swiped the spoils at Rajkot with his haul of seven wickets, and he is 12/1 to repeat that feat - not a bad shout if he can bounce to the crease with the same verve that he displayed in the series opener.And what about Alastair Cook? He was pretty horribly out of form in the early weeks of the tour, inclluding in both Tests against Bangladesh, but bounced back with his fourth hundred in his last five Tests in India - a remarkable record by any standards, and as Cook has proven in the past, once he rediscovers his taste for runs, theres often no stopping him.dddddddddddd He is 3/1 to be Englands top run-scorer - not much value there - but a tastier 11/1 to inherit Rashids man-of-the-match mantle.The market for Indias leading bowler is much the same as that for the series win. Despite being largely outbowled by their English counterparts at Rajkot, the bookies dont doubt that Indias spinners, R Ashwin and Ravi Jadeja, will bounce back on what is expected to be a spicier surface in the second Test. They are 6/4 and 5/2 respectively to be Indias leading wicket-taker. For a bit of value, keep an eye on Umesh Yadav at 6/1. He was the pick of their seamers at Rajkot. ' ' '
