CHICAGO -- The Washington Nationals acquired outfielder Scott Hairston on Monday from the Chicago Cubs for minor league pitcher Ivan Pineyro.
Cheap NFL Jerseys Shop . Chicago general manager Jed Hoyer said on a conference call there are "players to be named (later) on either side," but they "will not affect the balance of the deal." The Cubs signed Hairston to a two-year deal in the off-season to platoon in right field, but he struggled, batting .172 with eight home runs and 19 RBIs. One of those homers came during Sundays 4-3, 11-inning win over Pittsburgh. He had 20 last season with the New York Mets. Now, hes headed to Washington, the latest move in a busy stretch for Chicago. The Cubs have also traded pitchers Scott Feldman and Carlos Marmol along with catcher Steve Clevenger in the past week, and starter Matt Garza could be on the way out. "Needless to say, hes been a popular name and a guy weve gotten a lot of phone calls on," Hoyer said. "I think hes opened a lot of eyes the way hes thrown the last four, five times out." The Cubs are also still waiting on third baseman Kris Bryant, the No. 2 pick in the draft, to sign. Hoyer remains confident theyll reach an agreement before the July 12 deadline. "Were going to make him an exceptionally fair offer," Hoyer said. "If Kris wants to be a Cub and be a professional baseball player, Im confident that well get a deal done. Sometimes, it takes a deadline to make a deal. We have a deadline coming up shortly. In a lot of ways, I think thats a plus at this point." As for Pineyro, the 21-year-old right-hander has combined to go 6-3 with a 3.24 ERA in 15 starts between Class A Hagerstown and Potomac. "I think this is a good opportunity for Scott and the Nationals to get more playing time, and I think it was a good opportunity for us to acquire a young pitcher that we liked," Hoyer said.

EDMONTON -- The Edmonton Eskimos lost the game, and possibly a big part of their offence on Friday night. Craig Newmans 57-yard interception return for a touchdown with 25 seconds left in the fourth quarter capped a late rally as the Saskatchewan Roughriders scored a 31-24 come-from-behind victory over Edmonton in CFL pre-season play. After Riders quarterback Tino Sunseri hit DeDe Dorsey for a TD on third and goal from the Eskimos one-yard line to tie the game 24-24 with 54 seconds left, Newman picked off a deflected pass by Edmonton pivot Jonathan Crompton on the ensuing drive and raced in for the decisive points. The focus for the Eskimos afterwards wasnt the last-second loss, but rather the status of quarterback Matt Nichols. The 26-year-old, who has been in a dead heat for the starting job with Mike Reilly through training camp, went down in the end zone when he was hit by Riders defensive end Kenny Rowe while trying to make a tackle after throwing an interception late in the first quarter. Nichols, who suffered a gruesome injury to his left ankle in last seasons East Division semifinal loss to the Toronto Argonauts, left the game with a right knee injury and was seen leaving the stadium on crutches. His immediate prognosis was not known and doctors will take a more in-depth look on the weekend. "I just went down and felt a little twist," Nichols said. "The doctors have looked at it and it looks like there are decent signs. We wont know anything until we get a picture of it. All I can do right now is hope for the best. "Im optimistic. My ankle injury last year, that was the first time I have ever been hurt. This is a new feeling for me, so it is hard to have an idea on my own how bad it is. Im just hoping for the best right now." Eskimos head coach Kavis Reed was also hopeful, saying it would be a shame if Nichols was out long term after putting in the hard work to compete for the starting job. "Were going to see how it settles tonight and assess it tomorrow," he said. "Hopefully it is not serious. Sometimes it looks worse than it is. I am very hopeful that it is not something catastrophic and season-ending. Matt has worked exceptionally hard to come back from his injury in the playoffs and I would be very disappointed for that young man if this is a serious injury." Nichols said there is nothing he can do but wait. "Its obviously a tough situation," he said. "It is part of this game, though. Its not something that is going to hold me back. Im going to do whatever I can to get healthy as soon as possible, whatever the situation is." As for the game itself, Saskatchewan head coach Corey Chamblin was pleased with the overall effort in the comeback win. "There was a lot to learn from that game," he said. "We had some penalties and some stuff we need to clean up. But as far as being able to come back and showing some resiliency, I was very pleased that our team was able to fight back. We said we were coming here to win and the guys did that.

" Drew Willy got the start at quarterback for Saskatchewan and engineered a scoring drive on the Riders first possession as Chris Milo nailed a 40-yard field goal six minutes in. Edmonton went up 7-3 with three minutes to play in the opening quarter when Don Oramasionwu popped a ball loose from Riders receiver Taj Smith. Eskimos defensive back Marcel Young scooped up the loose ball and galloped 58 yards into the end zone. The Saskatchewan defence got those points back just two minutes later on the play that led to Nichols injury as he saw his pass bounce off of a receiver and into the hands of Carlos Thomas, who took it back 30 yards for the touchdown and a 10-7 lead at the end of the first quarter. Reilly came in to take Nichols place and was subsequently picked off by Woodny Turene, but Milo missed his second field goal of the night as the Roughriders settled for a single point. Edmonton went up 14-11 with three minutes to play in the second when Reilly connected on a long pass to Isaiah Sweeney, who turned on the jets and outran a pair of pursuers for a 77-yard touchdown. Saskatchewan, which will host the 2013 Grey Cup, was pressing late in the first half but receiver Scott McHenrys fumble at the Eskimos 21-yard line was recovered by Edmontons Eric Samuels. The Roughriders pulled even with five minutes left in the third quarter as Brody McKnight kicked a 27-yard field goal on the heels of a 50-yard passing play from Sunseri to Greg Carr. The Eskimos went back up 21-14 with a minute to play in the third after Roughriders returner Phillip Livas bobbled a punt and it was recovered on his teams seven-yard line. Edmonton quarterback Jacory Harris, who came in to start the third quarter, took it in himself on the next play.
