TORONTO - Toronto Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista is making progress from a mild hamstring strain and could return to the lineup this weekend. He missed a three-game series against New York this week after suffering the injury last Sunday while trying to leg out a base hit during a game in Cincinnati. Manager John Gibbons said the plan is for Bautista to have a "light day" Thursday before really testing out the leg Friday with the teams training staff. "Hopefully by the end of the weekend, were hoping he can get out there," Gibbons said. Anthony Gose was slotted to fill in for Bautista in right field on Thursday night against the Chicago White Sox. Bautista could be used as a pinch-hitter at some point in the four-game series but its doubtful that would occur before Saturday. Bautista is batting .305 this season with 15 home runs and 49 RBIs in 77 games. Also Thursday, Gibbons said infielder Steve Tolleson "was good to go" after seeing an eye specialist earlier in the day. Tolleson had been dealing with blurry vision over the last few days, likely due to an allergic reaction to his contact lenses. He was wearing glasses before taking batting practice at Rogers Centre. "They make him look way too smart to be out there," Gibbons joked. The Blue Jays have had a few players go down with injuries of late. Infielder Brett Lawrie was also hurt last Sunday against the Reds, breaking a finger when he was hit by a pitch. Lawrie, from Langley, B.C., will likely be out until at least the all-star break in mid-July. Left-handed reliever Brett Cecil also went on the disabled list last week due to a groin injury. The Blue Jays entered play Thursday with a 1 1/2-game lead on second-place Baltimore in the American League East division standings. Follow @GregoryStrongCP on Twitter. Karl-Anthony Towns Jersey .

New Zealand brushed aside England 26-7 to win the event and reclaim top spot in the overall standings. The All Blacks, the defending World Series champions, won their third tournament this season in style, running four tries past England to claim their 11th Cup championship in Hong Kong and first since 2011.PHILADELPHIA - Running back LeSean McCoy has regained his 2013 form.All is well with the Eagles offence, coming off a 33-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys which moved the Eagles into sole possession of first place in the NFC East.And the offensive line is a big reason for the improvement.After using seven different combinations, due to suspension, injury and poor play through the first 10 games, it appears the Eagles have settled on their five linemen for the rest of the season.Jason Peters, the only player to start all 12 games, is the left tackle. Evan Mathis, who missed seven games with a knee injury, is the left guard.Jason Kelce, who missed four games with a sports hernia, is the centre. Andrew Gardner, who played two games early at right tackle, is the fourth, and the Eagles hope final, right guard. And Lane Johnson, who was suspended the first four games for violating the NFLs policy on performance-enhancing substance, is the right tackle.I just think theres a continuity, Eagles coach Chip Kelly said Monday. The same guys are playing next to the same guys and communication has been better. As a group, theyve gotten the chance to line up next to each other for a few weeks and thats one of the reasons and also, Jason (Kelce) is healthier and Evan (Mathis) is healthier, so that helps.From the start of the season when Johnson was suspended, the Eagles have never been able to put their five preferred linemen on the field.That would have been Peters, Mathis, Kelce, Todd Herremans and Johnson.Not only that, but even the backups got hurt.Allen Barbre, the teams sixth man went down in the season opener, as he filled in for Johnson at right tackle, with a season-ending broken ankle.Thats the same game MMathis injured his knee.ddddddddddddWeve been through a lot of changes, Peters said. Guys up, guys down, its not easy. But the other guys played hard and we won games. Now, were getting most everyone back and theres that sense of continuity again.In 2013, Kellys first year as head coach, he had all five linemen start all 16 games and the playoff game against New Orleans.This year hes used seven different combinations and 10 different linemen, with Gardner, Herremans, Dennis Kelly and Matt Tobin all playing two different positions.Now, as the team reaches its stretch drive to repeat as division champions and advance in the playoffs, the line is starting to get that feel back.I feel pre-injury healthy, Mathis said after the win over Dallas. My conditioning is up to par. ... I think were just getting better and better at hitting the blocks, playing as a team more so and more so every week. Were blocking better up front as five offensive linemen, with the tight ends, the wide receivers and the backs are hitting the holes. Were just trying to grow each week as a team.NOTES: Kelly confirmed Monday that quarterback Nick Foles had a CT scan on his broken left collarbone. It is healing as expected, but he was not cleared to return because the bone is not fully healed. Kelly did not know when Foles would get checked again. ... Kelly also brushed off an on-field argument between quarterback Mark Sanchez and wide receiver Riley Cooper. They were talking about what they were going to have for Thanksgiving dinner, Kelly said. Really, its no big deal. Guys argue all the time during a game. You should put on my headset.___AP NFL websites: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP_NFL cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
