TORONTO -- The Toronto Blue Jays recalled Neil Wagner
from the Buffalo Bisons on Wednesday and optioned fellow
right-hander Marcus Walden to the triple-A club. Wagner,
30, appeared in 36 games for the Blue Jays last season,
posting a 2-4 record with a 3.79 earned-run average. He
gives Toronto another hard-throwing right-handed option
out of the bullpen. "It made sense to get a little more
firepower late (in games)," Blue Jays manager John
Gibbons said before Wednesdays game against the Houston
Astros. Wagner played 23 games with Buffalo in 2013 and
had 16 saves with a 0.76 ERA. The six-foot 215-pound
Minneapolis native has not allowed a run in two
appearances with the Bisons this season, earning saves in
both outings. Gibbons said Wagner impressed him last
season and again this year at spring training. "He came
into his own," he said of Wagners performance last year.
"He started out in triple-A and put it all together, came
up and did a nice job for us. Hes got that big arm. Thats
what you like to see coming late in the game. The key for
him was he started finding that strike zone consistently.
"Thats something that had deserted him in his career
until last year. Yeah, we expect him to fill a big role
for us." The Toronto bullpen is missing closer Casey
Janssen, whos on the 15-day disabled list with a strain
in his left abdominal area and lower back. Gibbons said
pitching coach Pete Walker thought Janssen looked
"really, really good" in a bullpen session earlier in the
day. "Hell throw one more side (session) and then well
just see where hes at," Gibbons said of the veteran
right-hander. "He may go out on a rehab (assignment)
after that. If hes not really good, then hell throw
another one." "Pete said he really picked it up today
compared to his last one," Gibbons added. Janssen, who
went on the DL on March 30, was 4-1 last year with 34
saves and a 2.56 ERA. Toronto shortstop Jose Reyes, whos
on the 15-day DL with a hamstring injury, did some light
running Wednesday and took some swings in the batting
cage. His lone game appearance came in a season-opening
loss to Tampa Bay. "Hes making progress," Gibbons said.
"This next road trip well get him out there running the
bases a little bit. Hes moving along pretty good." Second
baseman Maicer Izturis was slotted into the second spot
in the batting order against the Astros. Izturis has yet
to drive in a run this season but hes batting at a .421
clip. "Hes swinging it," Gibbons said. "Hes been one of
our hottest hitters. So well get him up there and see
what happens." Izturis batted in the No. 8 position
Tuesday when the Blue Jays opened the three-game series
with a 5-2 victory at Rogers Centre. In 107 games last
season, Izturis had a .236 average with five homers and
32 RBIs. "He came into camp in better shape this year,
really focused, and hes done a nice job," Gibbons said.
"He made a couple nice plays last night at second base
and thats good to see too." Walden did not make an
appearance with the Blue Jays after being called up last
Saturday. Marshall-Faulk-Colts-Jersey.html?cat=946">Marshall Faulk

. It is unclear how long Kallstrom, who was brought in to
alleviate the teams midfield problems, will be sidelined.
Arsenals communications director, Mark Gonnella, says the
club decided to proceed with Kallstroms signing despite
the injury.ATLANTA -- When Andrelton Simmons botched a
grounder, the St. Louis Cardinals seized their
opportunity. For the Atlanta Braves, it was another night
of missed chances. Matt Carpenters two-run double that
helped carry St. Louis past the slumping Braves, who
shook up their lineup but still lost their seventh in a
row, 4-3 on Monday. The Cardinals scored three runs in
the fifth inning, taking advantage of shaky defence by
Atlantas Gold Glove shortstop. In fact, Simmons had a
couple of plays that couldve been scored errors but were
initially ruled hits. The second one was changed to an E-
6 and turned out to be especially costly, leading to a
pair of unearned runs. St. Louis built a 4-0 lead and
barely held on to win the series opener. "It was big,"
Carpenter said. "Especially when we got out to a big
lead, to be able to hold them off, that was big for us."
Desperate for more offence, Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez
batted pitcher Aaron Harang eighth and put second baseman
Ramiro Pena in the ninth spot. Pena had two hits,
including a seventh-inning homer that brought the Braves
within a run, but they couldnt overcome a 4-0 deficit.
Juston Upton took a called third strike from Trevor
Rosenthal to end the game with the potential tying run at
second base -- Uptons fourth strikeout of the night and
extending Atlantas woes with runners in scoring position.
The Braves were 1 for 12 in those situations and are 6 of
51 during their losing streak, though Freddie Freeman saw
some encouraging signs. "We hit some balls hard with
runners on," he said. "We were in the game the whole
game. We couldnt say that the past week." The last time
the Braves had such a lengthy skid was May 21-28, 2012,
when they dropped eight in a row. Their longest losing
streak last season was four straight. Shelby Miller (4-2)
got a shaky win, giving up six hits and two runs in five-
plus innings. Trevor Rosenthal pitched out of trouble for
his ninth save, giving up a leadoff single to Simmons.
Jordan Schafer bunted the runner to second, but Pena
flied out to right before Upton whiffed. Harang (3-3)
took the loss, though he pitched much betteer than his
previous start, when he was pounded for nine runs by the
Marlins.ddddddddddddThis time, he gave up four runs in
six innings but only two were earned. The game was
scoreless until the fifth, when Peter Bourjos led off
with a single before Mark Ellis grounded one off Simmons
glove. The shortstop, looking to make a force at second,
appeared to take his eyes off the ball as it skipped past
him. After Miller bunted the runners to second and third,
Carpenter doubled to right-centre to bring them both in.
Matt Holiday followed with a hard liner past third
baseman Chris Johnson to make it 3-0. "Those things
happen," Harang said of Simmons error. "I told him not to
be too hard on himself. Hes probably going to save my
butt plenty of times this year." St. Louis added another
run in the fifth on Bourjos RBI single, but Gonzalez
challenged a call at third base that had seemingly given
the Cardinals a 5-0 lead. Yadier Molinas bases-loaded
grounder ricocheted off Harangs leg, right to Johnson at
third. He caught it and blindly stepped back in search of
the bag and managed to barely nick it, as the replay
showed. The called was quickly overturned after a review
of only 37 seconds. The Braves knocked out Miller in the
bottom half of the sixth, the first three hitters
reaching safely. The Cardinals went to the bullpen after
Evan Gattis RBI single, and B.J. Upton followed with a
sacrifice fly off Pat Neshek. Neshek escaped the jam by
striking out Simmons. NOTES: The Cardinals sent pitcher
RHP Joe Kelly back to St. Louis to continue his rehab
from a strained left hamstring. "Joe just wasnt to the
point where they thought they could push him, so keeping
him around the rest of this road trip didnt make any
sense," general manager John Mozeliak said. "I dont know
Id call it a setback as much as he just wasnt progressing
as quickly as we wanted." ... Atlanta RHP Gavin Floyd
will make his season debut when he starts Tuesday against
LHP Tyler Lyons (0-2) of the Cardinals. Floyd is coming
back from Tommy John surgery and will start in place of
Ervin Santana, who has a bruised right thumb.
