CINCINNATI -- The Los Angeles Dodgers have placed a National-League leading 26 players on the disabled list this season. Slowly but surely, they are getting healthy.Good news abounded on Friday. Right-handed starter Bud Norris and left-handed reliever Adam Liberatore were reinstated from the DL and ace Clayton Kershaw will take a significant step forward in his rehab from a herniated disk on Saturday when he throws 20-25 pitches off the mound inside Great American Ball Park.Im always cautiously optimistic, manager Dave Roberts said on Friday. With all the things weve incurred, we still find a way.The news wasnt as good on the field Friday as Norris allowed six earned runs in 3 2/3 innings in his return in a 9-2 loss to Cincinnati.The Dodgers had won nine straight against the Reds. Theyll be looking to start another streak when Brett Anderson takes the mound Saturday hoping to improve on his season debut on Sunday when he allowed five runs and five hits in one inning of an 11-3 loss to the Pirates.Anderson will make his third career start against Cincinnati. In his two prior starts against the Reds, Anderson went 2-0 with a 2.13 ERA with just three earned runs given up in 12 2/3 innings. Cincinnati batted .224 against him in those outings.The Reds will counter with left-hander Brandon Finnegan who will make his 25th appearance and start of the season on Saturday. Hell face the Dodgers for the second time in his career.Finnegans last start at Dodger Stadium was a memorable one.On May 23, Finnegan allowed one run and five hits through eight innings of a 1-0 loss. It was the first complete game by a Reds left-hander since Lance Davis beat the Tigers on July 16, 2001, at Cinergy Field.Finnegan, who was acquired last July in the trade which sent Johnny Cueto to the Kansas City Royals, has endured some hard luck this season.He was matched up against Kershaw in the aforementioned start in May. He took a no-hitter into the seventh inning on April 11 only to have it broken up with two outs then eventually lost the game. Finnegan also was the Reds starter on April 21 when Jake Arrieta no-hit them at Great American Ball Park.Fortunes for Cincinnati have turned around. Since the All-Star break, the Reds are 20-12 and have won eight of 10 series. They own the second-best record in the major leagues since the break.I understand that it was a tough first half and now its exciting to come to the ballpark knowing you have a chance to win, said Reds manager Bryan Price. Nobody wants to be at the bottom (off the standings). The overriding feeling in the first half, besides getting the pitching together, was were just a couple of pieces short. This is the way we envisioned the second half going. Lamar McHan Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. Custom Patriots Jerseys . It was hard for Luck to pull off another comeback, or even get into the end zone, while standing on the sideline. Rivers threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to rookie Keenan Allen and Nick Novak kicked four field goals to give the Chargers a 19-9 victory against the Colts on Monday night. http://www.custompatriotsjersey.com/custom-ronnie-lott-jersey-large-1601f.html . LOUIS -- Roman Polak was celebrating even before Alexander Steen scored the winning goal in Saturdays 4-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. Kevin Faulk Jersey . McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football.

NEW ORLEANS -- Ben Roethlisberger has played only two series this preseason, which might be all he needs.Roethlisberger torched New Orleans for 148 yards and two touchdown passes in his first action this preseason, then got the rest of the game off while the Steelers rolled to a 27-14 victory on Friday night.We were looking for some production and he gave us some production, Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said of Roethlisberger, who completed 12 of 17 passes. Thankfully he did it in a small number of (snaps), so we got him in and got him out.Roethlisberger, who sat out of the first two preseason games, opened by leading a 14-play, 76-yard drive on which he converted two third downs and found tight end Jesse James for a 5-yard score. His next series was highlighted by his 57-yard scoring pass down the left sideline to Antonio Brown, also playing for the first time this preseason.Pittsburgh running back LeVeon Bell also made his preseason debut, gaining 21 yards on three carries, but his lost fumble in the second quarter led to Drew Brees only TD pass. Brees strike went to Willie Snead, who made a difficult juggling catch as he landed on his back following a collision near the back of the end zone.Brees had a difficult night behind a struggling offensive line. It didnt help that starting left tackle Terron Armstead left unexpectedly in the first half. Brees completed 9 of 12 passes, but for only 78 yards. One of his better throws connected with newly acquired tight end Coby Fleener for 26 yards, but it was called back for holding on Armstead.Execution -- actually blocking people -- seemed to be the problem, Saints right tackle Zach Strief said. I know this -- I dont know that I ever felt as responsible for our team doing poorly as I think we do as a group right now. Thats tough and yet we deserve it and it will be on us to change it. Nobody else.The Saints have dropped all three preseason games.Steelers backup Landry Jones went 19 of 22 for 206 yards, including an 8-yard touchdown pass to Sammie Coates.
