ST. LOUIS - The St. Louis Cardinals put their leading home run hitter, Brandon Moss, on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday due to a sprained left ankle.Moss jammed his foot while running the bases Monday night. He stayed in the game but woke up with soreness in the ankle Tuesday. Moss then had X-rays and consulted a foot specialist, who diagnosed him with a Grade 1 sprain. The team called up Randal Grichuk from Triple-A Memphis to take Moss spot on the 25-man roster.I think the likelihood of him being back before the All-Star break was questionable, and we certainly didnt want to play short the rest of the way, Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said. When you see him later tonight, hell be in a boot and we just have to be patient.Moss, who is batting .251, is tied for 13th in the National League with 17 home runs. He had a particularly torrid June, hitting eight home runs and putting up a 1.199 OPS.Grichuk, 24, started the season as the Cardinals starting center fielder, but was optioned to Memphis on June 18 with a .206 batting average. The team has been playing Kolten Wong and Tommy Pham in center field lately, but they remain hopeful Grichuk can regain his form in 2015, when he posted an .877 OPS in 103 games. Grichuk was batting .283 with five home runs in 15 Triple-A games.Decisions are sometimes made based on whats happening with your roster, Mozeliak said. We had an injury and [Grichuk] was swinging a good bat down there and well give him an opportunity.Grichuk was expected to arrive midway through Tuesday nights game with the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The boys are believing in themselves, expressing themselves and it is really starting to pay off, so now we are looking to beat Afghanistan.Scotland captain Preston Mommsen: It was a difficult start for us as they bowled well up front but we get ourselves into a position where we could have a crack at the end. Had my partnership with Richie (Berrington) gone on another two or three overs things could have been different but unfortunately we came up on the wrong side again.Watch highlights of Zimbabwe versus Scotland from 6pm on Sky Sports 2 and then catch their final qualification games, against Afghanistan (9am) and Hong Kong (1.30pm) respectively, on Sky Sports 2 on Saturday.
