NEW YORK -- With the Yankees a season-high nine games back in the AL East and Carlos Beltran out of the starting lineup because of a leg injury, New York manager Joe Girardi sounds more concerned about a slow start that has turned into a half season of struggles.After improving to one game over .500 last weekend -- their season high was 4-2 in April -- the Yankees (37-39) had lost three straight going into Wednesdays game against the Texas Rangers.Theres a sense of urgency, Girardi said. As days tick away, you start to run out of time, and you dont want to bury yourself.Baltimore is playing extremely well. Boston has run into a few bumps here, but theyve played well. Torontos played well. And so you cant mess around too long and expect to be there.Beltran left Tuesdays game in the first inning with a tight right hamstring. Girardi said he was worried and was not sure whether Beltran would be available to pinch hit.Its not as sore as it was last night, the manager said. I dont think Im going to have Belt tomorrow, either.The 39-year-old Beltran is the Yankees top batter, hitting .297 with 19 homers and 53 RBI.You want to feel good that when you put him out there hes going to be OK, Girardi said, but in the situation that were in, you cant necessarily always wait as long as you want.Slumping Alex Rodriguez, benched against right-handed starters earlier this week, replaced Beltran as the Yankees designated hitter. New York starts a trip Friday with an interleague series against the Padres -- meaning there will be no DH.Its probably easy to manage if hes DHing, but were going to San Diego, so thats a concern, Girardi said.First baseman Mark Teixeira, who started four straight games after coming off the disabled list, was given a night off from the starting lineup.Girardi said he did not want to start Teixeira in five consecutive games following his knee injury. Rob Refsnyder replaced him at first.This kids had to adapt to a lot: a couple different position changes, Girardi said. But hes really pushed himself on here because hes made himself more versatile and he gives you really good at-bats and runs the bases well.Milwaukee Brewers Pro Shop .Y. - Free agent outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, fresh off winning the World Series with Boston, reached agreement with the rival New York Yankees on a seven-year contract worth about $153 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday night.

The Dragons failed at the fundamentals, completing just 19 of 32 sets while Manly ran for 1837m compared to the visitors 1117m.Despite talk that Benji Marshall was back to his best after carving up bottom-placed Newcastle the week before, the Dragons playmaker had an awful night.His ill-conceived chip-and-chase handed Manly possession in the lead up to Taufuas first and he threw the pass which was intercepted by Walker, who ran 90 metres to make it 22-0 at the break.Dragons coach Paull McGregor would have loved nothing more than to have 16 clones of Tyson Frizell to put in his line-up, with the Blues back-rowers gutsy - albeit unsuccessful - chase on Walker the sides lone bright spot in a forgettable performance.ddddddddddddhen Sea Eagles back-rower Jamie Buhrer broke through two tacklers to race 80 metres to score from a scrum in the 67th minute, it summed up the match.Dragons forward Joel Thompson is also facing his third high tackle suspension of the year after collecting Luke Burgess, who was forced from the field, late in the game.Barrett said he was relieved after breaking the sides losing streak and called it the performance they had been building up to for months.I knew it was coming, I just didnt know when. It took a lot longer than wed hoped, Barrett said.Weve had a lot of things go against us and not a lot of things go right.McGregor branded his sides performance as embarrassing and said his side werent playing like they deserved to be in finals contention.Its wrong to identify individuals in a team sport, were all in it together, he said.Were all a bit embarrassed to be honest with you.Its a very proud club and today wasnt a good day.
