ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Cardinals added pitching depth to their organization, signing right-hander Angel Castro to a one-year contract. The 31-year-old Castro is 4-3 with a 1.29 ERA in eight starts for Aguilas in the Dominican Winter League and the Cardinals had spots open on their 40-man roster. He has spent seven seasons in the minors since being drafted by Detroit in 2006 and also played in the Mexican League in 2010-11 and Japanese Pacific League in 2012. He has not pitched in the majors. Last year, the 5-foot-11, 200-pound Castro was 8-5 with a 3.48 ERA for the Dodgers Triple-A affiliate in Albuquerque and made 19 starts. He also pitched for the Dominican Republic in the 2013 World Baseball Classic. The Cardinals made the move Wednesday. wholesale nfl jerseys .A.

The Senators coach could be heard shouting orders as the team worked on a number of drills focusing on driving traffic to the net. "The biggest thing for us offensively is to get more people to the net when the pucks going to the net," MacLean said. Having lost four of its last five, the Senators are desperate to find ways to spark their offence. It doesnt help that they have lost yet another centre as Peter Regin is out day-to-day with an upper body injury. This is in addition to the loss of Jason Spezza, the teams No. 1 centre, who is out indefinitely due to herniated disc surgery. Spezzas absence has clearly had an impact on the teams offensive abilities. The Senators had jumped out to a 3-1-1 record and were challenging for the lead in the Northeast Division, then Spezza went down and the team fell into a downward spiral. In the five games with Spezza in the lineup the Senators averaged 3.2 goals-per-game; in the last seven without him they averaged 2.14. The power play has also struggled. With Spezza in the lineup the power play produced at a rate of 26.6 per cent, without him its at 20.8 per cent. The struggles have resulted in a 3-3-1 record without Spezza. Adding to the Senators troubles is the fact both Kyle Turris and Milan Michalek are in the middle of a slump. Turris hasnt scored in his last eight games, after jumping out to a strong start with four goals in four games. "Ive got to come through with creating more opportunities for myself and my line mates and be more offensively productive," said Turris. "I put more pressure on myself that anyone else puts pressure on me. I want to try and help as much as II can.dddddddddddd" Michalek, who has just two goals and seven points this season, has been most affected by Spezzas absence. Last season the 28-year-old, playing alongside Spezza, had his best year since 2006 scoring 35 goals and collecting 60 points. Despite Michaleks struggles MacLean has no complaints. "He just has to keep going to the net, keep getting to the net and take the puck to the net as much as he can and try to create opportunities on his own," MacLean said. "He works so hard without the puck and with the puck that I think at some point hes going to score and were not concerned." In an effort to jump-start his offence Maclean shuffled lines in preparation for Tuesdays game against the Buffalo Sabres. Mika Zibanejad will centre a line with Michalek and Daniel Alfredsson, while Turris will play with Jakob Silfverberg and Colin Greening. Zibanejad is looking forward to playing on the top line. "It should be fun," said Zibanejad. "Its a great opportunity for me and its up to me to take it now." Since being recalled from Binghamton on Jan. 28, Zibanejad has played both the wing and at centre and on just about every line and MacLean has liked his overall effort. "I like his size and ability to skate through the middle of the rink which I think is important," said MacLean. "Were not trying to have him be something hes not, were just trying to have him be what he can be." Notes: C Peter Regin is out with an upper body injury and will be day-to-day. The injury is not connected to his previous shoulder issues. . . Guillaume Latendresse remains sidelined with whiplash and there is no immediate timetable on his return. . . Craig Anderson will get the start Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres. cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
