Gary Sheffield was put on the 15-day disabled list Monday because of a sore shoulder that caused him to slump during the second half. While Sheffield is hitting .279 with 24 homers and 71 RBIs in his first season with Detroit, he is batting just .220 (27-for-123) with three homers and 13 RBIs since the All-Star break."No. 1, we've got to get the shoulder right," Detroit manager Jim Leyland said before the series finale against the New York Yankees. "No. 2, we can't go on this way with three extra players, with one being a catcher."
It was another blow for a banged-up team trying to chase division and wild-card leaders. The move was retroactive to Aug. 22, and the roster spot was filled by outfielder Timo Perez, who was recalled from Triple-A Toledo.

Timo Perez? Wow, that's a name I haven't heard for a while. How'd he land in Detroit?

Poor Sheffield hurt again? He's always out when you need him the most. He's a dog of the lowest caliber.
