FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Dimitri Pattersons suspension will last a few more days. The New York Jets announced Tuesday night that the veteran cornerback who went AWOL for 48 hours last weekend will sit out for the rest of the week, including the preseason finale at Philadelphia on Thursday night, but is eligible to return to the team next Monday. The team also said that additional terms of discipline would not be disclosed. Patterson is likely facing a team-imposed fine. Patterson had been suspended indefinitely on Monday after he left the team last Friday night before the Jets preseason game against the Giants without speaking to anyone in the organization. General manager John Idzik said the team wanted to gather facts before determining how Patterson would be further disciplined. The Jets wouldnt provide details on the reason Patterson gave for what the team called an "unexcused" absence. Earlier Tuesday, coach Rex Ryan said he didnt anticipate a resolution to the situation in the next few days, and also didnt have any additional updates. Patterson, who signed a one-year, $3 million deal in April, might still face an uncertain future with the Jets, particularly after teams make their final roster cuts Saturday. Ryan wouldnt speculate as to whether the Jets could release Patterson before the regular season. "Were not going to comment on what may or may not take place," Ryan said. "We know what the situation is now and were moving forward. Were going to coach the guys that are here and thats what were doing." Patterson was at meetings, a walkthrough and the pregame meal last Friday, but didnt show for the preseason game later that night at MetLife Stadium. He gave the Jets no warning he would leave the team, and didnt speak to anyone in the organization directly until he met with Ryan and Idzik on Sunday night at the training facility. Idzik said Monday that Pattersons suspension would be "brief," but the 31-year-old cornerback would face more discipline once the team had finished looking into the matter. Patterson was not at practice Monday or Tuesday. "I really dont know what to say about that," quarterback Geno Smith said of Pattersons situation. "I just hope hes fine, hope hes OK. As a teammate, as a friend, I want to support him. Obviously, coaches are going to make their decisions on what they think is best for the team. We stand behind that." Patterson had been projected as a starter for the regular season, but has been hampered most of the summer by ankle, calf and quadriceps injuries so he has played only in the preseason opener against Indianapolis — and struggled. The Jets expected Patterson to test out his leg during pregame warmups last Friday night, and would then determine whether he would play. Ryan acknowledged Patterson wasnt going to start the game, but could have entered with the first-team defence at some point. When asked if the absence might have stemmed from being upset about not starting, Ryan again refused to speculate. Even before Pattersons puzzling absence, the Jets faced a shaky situation at the cornerback position. Dee Milliner, expected to be the teams top cover man in his second season, is still recovering from a high ankle sprain that has his status for the regular-season opener in doubt. Third-round draft pick Dexter McDougle is out for the year with a torn knee ligament. Safety-turned-cornerback Antonio Allen is working his way back from a concussion. Backup Darrin Walls, who could end up starting in Week 1, has a leg ailment but Ryan said "its not a major issue." That leaves Kyle Wilson, Ellis Lankster, LeQuan Lewis and Johnny Patrick as the Jets top healthy cornerbacks. Ryan laughed when asked if he had ever been in a more dire situation in the secondary. "Guys, I coached at New Mexico Highlands," he joked. "I coached in Vegas, New Mexico. But, you know what? Its like anything else. Sometimes, an opportunity presents itself that maybe normally wouldnt. You end up finding a diamond in the rough, so to speak." NOTES: WR Stephen Hill pushed through practice despite vomiting on the field, Ryan said. He sat out Sunday with an illness and was sent home Monday after he vomited. Hill has been the subject of trade rumours because of his inability to be consistent on the field. When asked about an ESPN report that said the Jets looked into dealing Hill this summer, Ryan shrugged. "Well, I didnt try to trade him," he said. "I can comment on me. Again, a lot of times with anything, youll listen to whatever things are thrown out there. This is the first Ive heard of it, though." ... QBs coach David Lee said third-stringer Matt Simms has "improved as much as any guy I think I can ever remember coaching." Wholesale Diamondbacks Jerseys .

Cron hit an RBI single on the first pitch he saw in the major leagues, doubled his second time up and hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the sixth inning to lead the Los Angeles Angels to a 5-3 victory over the Texas Rangers on Saturday night.TORONTO – This weekends series against the Tampa Bay Rays is important for the obvious reason: the Blue Jays are running out of time and games to make up the three-and-a-half game deficit for a playoff spot they had entering Fridays action. There are other reasons, too. Take a look at the leagues schedule. The Blue Jays are one of six teams, seven if you count Kansas City thanks to its precarious half-game lead on Detroit in the American League Central, competing for two wild card spots. As Toronto is hosting the Rays, four of those teams are squaring off. Cleveland (tied with Toronto) is visiting Detroit (which holds the second wild card spot). Meanwhile, nighthawks will stay up enjoying the Athletics (which holds the first wild card spot) versus the Mariners (a half-game behind the Tigers) from Seattle. If the Blue Jays sweep the Rays, it will mean they gained ground on at least two teams (because one of Oakland, Seattle and one of Cleveland, Detroit will lose) each day. On the days Toronto loses, it loses ground to at least two teams, a situation the Jays cannot afford as the regular season enters its final two weeks. "Well, I mean, were coming out here trying to win this game regardless of the circumstances," said manager John Gibbons. "We dont have a whole lot of room to play with so we need to win some games." With a seven-game road trip to Baltimore and New York looming, followed by home series with Seattle (four games) and Baltimore (three games) to end the year, as of Friday Tampa Bay was the lone remaining sub-.500 opponent on the Jays docket. "We dont think about what other teams are going to do," said Jose Reyes. "We think about us, about taking it one game at a time because youre not going to win three games in one day." Reyes hammered the old cliché but its the truth. While theres reason to root for Baltimore to beat New York (there was a loud cheer during Jays batting practice when the Orioles walked off an 11th inning victory over the Yankees on Friday afternoon) and Boston to beat Kansas City, the other two reesults are saw offs.dddddddddddd Simply, the Jays must win. Rotation switch Manager John Gibbons is taking advantage of the off day on Thursday to slightly reconfigure his starting rotation. Left-hander Mark Buehrle, originally scheduled to open the series in Baltimore on Monday, instead will start Sundays finale at home against Tampa Bay. Rookie Marcus Stroman moves to Monday. He had been set to pitch on Sunday. "Give (Stroman) another extra day," said Gibbons. "Weve been trying all year long to protect these guys, young guys especially." Another reason for the switch: Buehrles numbers against the Rays are much better than his numbers against Baltimore. In five starts against Tampa Bay this season, Buehrle is 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA. In three starts against the Orioles, hes 1-2 with a 4.67 ERA. Stroman has yet to face Baltimore. Yet another reason for the switch: despite injuries to Manny Machado and Matt Wieters and a 25-game suspension to Chris Davis for a positive test for amphetamines, the Orioles are a home run hitting team. The recent development of Stromans dominating sinkerball, a groundball pitch, plays well in Oriole Park at Camden Yards, which is prone to allowing the home run. Davis suspension helps Blue Jays The AL East-leading Orioles, already without Wieters (elbow) and Machado (knee) for the remainder of the season, lost first baseman Davis for 25 games. This will not disappoint Blue Jays pitching, on whom Davis has feasted. Since the start of the 2012 season, in 47 games, Davis has hit 21 home runs against Toronto. No opposing player has more in that span. Davis, 28, has had a disappointing season. After leading baseball with 53 home runs and 138 RBI and posting a 1.004 OPS in 2013, his numbers have dropped dramatically (20 home runs, .704 OPS in 2014). Davis tested positive for amphetamines, which he said were the result of his use of the stimulant Adderall. Davis said he had a Therapeutic Use Exemption for Adderall through to the end of last season, a prescription which, apparently, was not renewed. ' ' '
