SEATTLE -- In the midst of the wild card race in the American League, the Seattle Mariners determined they dont have the time to wait for Taijuan Walker to rediscover the potential he showed earlier in the season.The Mariners optioned the struggling Walker to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday, a surprising move that the club hopes will jump start his sluggish performances on the mound. Walker was the corresponding move made when Seattle activated recently acquired reliever Arquimedes Caminero.Where were at right now as a team and as an organization, I mean his last 13 starts hes had like three quality starts, Seattle manager Scott Servais said. It may be different if we were 10 or 15 games below .500. Were not thanks to the guys in that clubhouse who continue to play good baseball and were a few games over. Its about winning and who gives us the best chance to go out and compete and give us the best chance to win next time out.Walker made his first start in a month last Saturday but allowed six runs in four innings against the Angels. Walker missed most of July because of tendinitis in his right foot and made only one rehab start in the minors before rejoining the Mariners. Walker is 4-7 with a 4.10 ERA but after the opening month of the season has been on a progressive slide. Between May 1 and July 5, Walker made 12 starts and pitched at least six innings only three times.Servais said the club is sending a message to Walker that with the Mariners in playoff contention his performances must get better. Servais is hoping Walker takes a similar attitude to pitcher James Paxton and catcher Mike Zunino, who both started the season in the minors and are now key contributors for the Mariners.We certainly think Taijuan Walker is a big part of our future, just like I said with Paxton and Zunino, but right now we need to take a step back and do what is best for him, Servais said. Im pretty confident he will take on the challenge and hell be back.Ariel Miranda will step into Walkers spot in the rotation and start on Friday when the Mariners begin a series in Oakland. Seattle may need to make another adjustment to its rotation after Paxton took a line drive off his left, pitching elbow late in his victory over the Angels on Sunday. X-rays were negative and Paxton was receiving treatment on Monday. He is expected to make his next turn in the rotation, but with a day off upcoming, the Mariners may shuffle the rotation order to give Paxton an extra day or two of rest.Weve got some wiggle room there, Servais said.

Coach Mike Munchak says Fokou stretched ligaments in his left knee Oct. 13 against Seattle, which could keep out up to five weeks even though the linebacker didnt need surgery.Head coach Alan Stubbs says Hibernian fully deserved their last-gasp equaliser at Tynecastle on Sunday as Edinburghs two biggest clubs fought out a 2-2 draw in the fifth round of the Scottish Cup. Arnaud Djoum and Sam Nicholson gave Hearts a two-goal advantage at the break, before Jason Cummings and Paul Hanlon levelled matters for the visitors during the final 10 minutes.Stubbs praised the team spirit among his players and says his side were unlucky to be behind at half-time. Hibernian scored twice in a breathless final 10 minutes to secure an unlikely 2-2 draw at Hearts in the Scottish Cup. And after Hanlon had hooked home an injury time equaliser, Stubbs said he was always aware of his teams fighting qualities: It doesnt tell me anything because I already know it. Its other people that question it.I have said all along I have 100 per cent belief in this team. I enjoy coming to work, I enjoy being around them, I enjoy their company, believe it or not.Theyve got a brilliant team spirit amongst themselves. They have a fantastic bonding. And when you have got that and, most importantly, abillity, then anything is possible.ddddddddddddThey keep answering the questions. They dont know when to lie down. There is a lot of fight in there. And the support was fantastic.Asked about the result, he added: Probably satisfied in the end because I thought the least we deserved out of the game was a draw.I came in at half-time wondering how we were 2-0 down. The first goal was a good strike but I felt we should have defended the second goal a bit better. I thought in the second half we were fantastic. Alan Stubbs At half-time we spoke about how important the next goal was. We felt we could get something out of the game if we got it and so it proved.I thought in the second half we were fantastic. We pinned a really good Hearts team back for the majority of the half.Meanwhile, Hearts head coach Robbie Neilson was frustrated by his teams late collapse. Robbie Neilson (4th right) and Alan Stubbs shake hands at the end of the game I expect them to defend a 2-0 lead and to lose two poor goals at the end is disappointing, but its happened, he said.If the shoe was on the other foot wed be delighted but the outcome is the same.Its another derby game, another money-spinner for both clubs, and a big one for the fans and you guys. Another full house, another game on TV.Well have (Igor) Rossi back from suspension, well have (Jamie) Walker back in and (Abiola) Dauda. So we will go there stronger than we were today.The replay at Easter Road takes place on February 16 when the winners will progress to the quarter-finals.You can see the Scottish Cup quarter-final draw live on Sky Sports News HQ with former Celtic midfielder Lubo Moravcik on Monday, February 8 at 6.30pm Cheap Adidas Hockey Jerseys Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Nike Basketball Jerseys Cheap Football Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Baseball Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China Wholesale Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic Cheap MLB Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys China Stitched NFL Jerseys Cheap Custom Jerseys China Cheap Basketball Jerseys Authentic NFL Jerseys China Cheap College Jerseys Wholesale Football Jerseys ' ' '
