SAN FRANCISCO -- Two teams limping to the All-Star break hope to get good news on the injury front Monday when the Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants open a three-game series at AT&T Park.Rookie shortstop Trevor Story could be back in the starting lineup for the Rockies, while the Giants expect to welcome back reliever Sergio Romo -- and possible other mainstays, too.The Rockies (37-44, third place in the National League West) are looking forward to the return of Story, who sustained a bruised right middle finger when hit by a pitch last June 26 against the Arizona Diamondbacks.The All-Star candidate sat out one day, then returned to the lineup Tuesday against the Toronto Blue Jays and went 0-for-4. He was shelved for the next four days before entering the Sunday game at Dodger Stadium in the seventh inning on a double switch. He eventually struck out in his only at-bat.(Hes) much, much better, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said before Sundays game. Hes swinging in the cage and looks really good. Its just a matter of if he gets jammed or hits a ball off the end of the bat, how is it going to affect him.Story was quite a story when he belted six home runs in his first four games. He finished April with 10 homers, but he added just four in May and five in June.On the eve of All-Star selections, he still leads NL shortstops with 19 homers. However, Dodgers rookie shortstop Corey Seager has 17 home runs to go with a .303 batting average (Story is at .266), and Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford has passed Story in RBI (53-50).And then there is Addison Russell of the Chicago Cubs, who appeared well on his way to getting the fan vote as the starting shortstop in the latest tabulations.Left-hander Tyler Anderson (0-2, 2.66 ERA) will get the call on the mound Monday for the Rockies, who were swept in their series with the Dodgers that ended Sunday.Anderson, the Rockies first-round pick in 2011, has been impressive in his first four big-league starts despite going winless. He has allowed no more than two earned runs in any game, and he has more strikeouts (24) than innings pitched (23 2/3).He has never faced the Giants.The Rockies wont have left fielder Gerardo Parra (sprained left ankle) in the series, meaning both teams will be short-handed in the outfield.The Giants won their series finale at Arizona on Sunday with Jarrett Parker, a corner outfielder, playing center field, and Brandon Belt, a first baseman, manning left field.They were forced into desperation mode with right fielder Hunter Pence (strained right hamstring) on the disabled list and center fielder Denard Span (sore neck) and super-sub Gregor Blanco (sore left knee) unable to go.Giants manager Bruce Bochy flew home Sunday night not knowing who would be available in his outfield for Mondays game. His infield, with third baseman Matt Duffy (strained right Achilles) and second baseman Joe Panik (concussion) currently out of action as well, also is hurting.Bochy was hoping, on the other hand, to have invaluable setup man Romo available.Romo, who hasnt pitched for the Giants since April 10 because of a strained flexor in his right arm, completed an extensive rehab stint in the minors over the weekend and was told to meet the team in San Francisco for an examination.The Giants (52-32, first place in NL West) struggled with Romos usual role -- the eighth inning -- in each of the past two games at Arizona.Hunter Strickland gave up a lead-losing home run to Welington Castillo in the eighth inning Saturday in a 6-5 loss. The Giants were able to overcome a game-tying shot by Jake Lamb off Cory Gearrin in the eighth Sunday to win 5-4 in 11 innings.Weve got to tighten it up, Bochy said about his bullpen before Sundays game. Were banged up, and (opponents) are finding ways to score runs. Weve just got to start holding those leads a little better.Right-hander Jake Peavy (4-7, 5.33) will get the start for the Giants on Monday. He has a 7-8 record with a 4.17 ERA in 23 career starts against Colorado. Tom Seaver Jersey . LOUIS -- Mike Smith is used to facing plenty of shots, so this was nothing new.

Keon Broxton Mets Jersey . - The Oakland Raiders re-signed offensive lineman Khalif Barnes on Friday. Lenny Dykstra Mets Jersey . -- When the Florida Panthers fell behind by two goals in the first period to the top team in the NHL, it appeared they were on their way to yet another loss. Southampton will travel north to Hull City on Sunday with the wind beneath their wings.The Saints (3-4-3) enjoyed the clubs greatest ever European night on Thursday with a 2-1 comeback win over the admittedly-diminished Italian giants Inter Milan. It was a deserved victory for a team that thoroughly outplayed Internazionale both home and away -- although they did succumb to an unfortunate defeat in Milan a fortnight ago.The Saints performance further strengthened the belief that they are a team capable of challenging for at least a top-six spot in Premier League again this season. Manager Claude Puel insists it is important that his players are able to transfer their Inter performance into domestic action.Its important now to forget this game against Inter Milan and now its another competition and an important game for us against Hull City, Puel said. It will be important to have a good result just before the international break for the mind and the confidence, and also because we dont have a lot of points in the Premier League.Its important to be in the top half of the Premier League.Hull City (2-1-7), meanwhile, are in a whole heap of trouble.The Tigers have lost six on the bounce, conceding more goals than any other team in the division while scoring fewer than all except bottom-feeders Sunderland heading into this weekends play.And its not just stats that suggest Hull could be under threat of an immediate return to the seconnd tier of English football.dddddddddddd They have flip-flopped between tactical styles and team lineups, with manager Mike Phelan so far appearing incapable of creating a functioning first team out of the available players.However, the former Manchester United assistant manager is not panicking just yet.Its a big learning curve for all of us, Phelan said. Im relishing it. Its not fazing me. Im not depressed or down and Im pretty confident. Its about settling everything down. With the quality weve got and the togetherness were trying to get, Im sure we can achieve something.(Southampton) have a squad comparable to any top team in the Premier League. They are a club on the up and we will have to be at our best to be competitive.Hulls injury crisis is beginning to ease, but Phelan will still be without defenders Alex Bruce and Andy Robertson for Sundays fixture. Robert Snodgrass and Dieumerci Mbokani both also struggling to shake off knocks in time to feature.Southamptons Shane Long, Matty Targett and Cedric Soares remain unavailable due to injury, but Puel rotated his team slightly for Thursdays Europa League tie so he should have fresh legs to call upon.Hulls record against the Saints is worse than against any other Premier League club. All four top-flight meetings have ended in defeat for the Tigers. ' ' '
