‘Round the Bases…

by Anthony Amobi

* Shortstop Jimmy Rollins was placed on the 15-day disabled list for the first time in his eight-year career because of a sprained left ankle.

* Right-hander Hideo Nomo was designated for assignment, perhaps ending his 12 seasons in the majors.

* Former major leaguer John Marzano died after falling down a flight of stairs at his Philadelphia home. Marzano played 10 seasons for the Red Sox, Rangers and Mariners before retiring in 1998. He batted .241 with 11 homers and 72 RBIs in 794 at-bats in 301 games.

* Reliever Kyle Farnsworth was suspended for three games and fined for throwing a fastball behind the neck of Boston slugger Manny Ramirez last week. Farnsworth appealed the penalty, which was to start last night against the Orioles.

* Shortstop Adam Everett was placed on 15-day disabled list because of a strained right shoulder.
