CHICAGO -- Wheres Tommy?Chicago Cubs infielder Tommy La Stella was assigned to Triple-A Iowa on July 29, but hasnt reported after 11 days and the Cubs werent exactly sure of his whereabouts this week.So Chicago decided to place La Stella on the temporarily inactive list on Tuesday as they await a decision on if or when he will report to the minors and resume his career.Ive texted him, I talked to him a couple of days ago, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said on Tuesday. I dont have a lot to report other than hes not here, hes not in Triple-A and hes back home working out.Hes not angry, hes not upset. Hes just at that point now he doesnt know exactly what he wants to do, Maddon said.La Stella was reportedly unhappy with the transfer to Iowa, but it wasnt necessarily performance-related. A versatile infielder and left-handed batter, La Stella was hitting .295 with two home runs and eight RBI in 51 games this season.But Chicago had options left with La Stella and he didnt have to clear waivers unlike players like Matt Szczur and Chris Coghlan, who have also spent time this season in the minors.And any transfer to Iowa was viewed as temporary. LaStella was likely to be back when rosters expand on Sept. 1 and even sooner if a key injury occurred.Hopefully hes going to get back relatively soon, said Maddon. Wed love to have him back.LaStella, 27, was optioned to Triple-A as the Cubs activated Coghlan off the 15-day disabled list.La Stella has made no public comment.Angels right-hander Tim Lincecum, a Cy Young Award winner while with the San Francisco Giants, had no issues with accepting a demotion to Triple-A Salt Lake City with an eye to regaining his earlier form.Were really happy that Tim is going to go down and pitch, Angels manager Mike Scioscia told reporters. We all feel that theres a major league pitcher that is hopefully going to blossom out of the pitcher thats making adjustments like Tim (is).The Angels also shuffled other pitchers around on Tuesday.They claimed left-hander Brett Overholtzer off waivers from Philadelphia, placed right-hander Cam Bedrosian on the 15-day disabled list (middle finger tendinitis) and selected the contract of right-hander A.J. Achter from Triple-A Salt Lake.The short Wrigley Field series concludes on Wednesday as the Angels send recently-acquired right-hander Ricky Nolasco (4-8, 5.23 ERA) against Cubs righty Jason Hammel (11-5, 3.07 ERA).The start will be Nolascos second with the Angels since arriving in an Aug. 1 trade with the Minnesota Twins. He did not factor in his first start last Thursday, allowing five earned runs on six hits in a six-inning outing.Jason Heyward is 8-for-23 (.348) with a solo home run against Nolasco, while Miguel Montero has gone 6-for-24 (.250) with a homer and seven RBI against him. Anthony Rizzo is 3-for-7 with a double, a homer and two RBI.As for Hammel, Mike Trout is the only active Angels player who has taken him deep. Trout is 4-for-13 (.308) with a homer and two RBI against Hammel. Albert Pujols is 3-for-11 (.273) with an RBI and three walks while Yunel Escobar is 5-for-26 (.192) with an RBI and four strikeouts.

Hargreaves began his career in 2008 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and has played with the Edmonton Eskimos and last season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Christian Jaros Jersey . Already owning gold from competition in Vancouver in 2010, Loch posted a combined four-run time of 3:27.526. That included a track-record third run of 51. Middlesex 181 for 6 (Bailey 76, Simpson 54, Wheal 3-43) beat Hampshire 138 (Higgins 5-13) by 43 runsScorecard George Bailey fired a career-best Twenty20 score of 76 to boost Middlesexs hopes of a home NatWest T20 Blast quarter-final, as they thrashed bottom-placed Hampshire by 43 runs.Overseas star Bailey was brilliantly partnered by John Simpson in a perfectly paced fourth wicket stand of 114. Ryan Higgins then took 5 for 13 - having only taken his maiden T20 wicket on Thursday evening - to make sure Hampshires chase never got going and give Middlesex back-to-back wins in the competition.Middlesex, after winning the toss and batting, were guided to 182 thanks in the main to a well-paced partnership between Bailey and Simpson.Dawid Malan, on the back of a record, unbeaten 185 for England Lions, was caught and bowled by Ryan McLaren. England one-day skipper Eoin Morgan fell soon after with Liam Dawson taking the catch at mid-on, before Paul Stirling was bowled by Brad Wheal to end the Powerplay 40 for 3.But that kick-started the mammoth stand between Bailey and Simpson, who never looked in trouble, never appeared to need to play the big shots.Former Australia T20 captain Bailey, following a match-winning 55 in the London derby on Thursday night, was the first to reach fifty, from 38 balls. Wicketkeeper Simpson quickly followed to the milestone in a slightly quickeer 32 deliveries, helped by a trio of maximums.ddddddddddddThe partnership stretched from the seventh over to the 19th, when Simpson picked out Joe Weatherley on the midwicket rope. James Franklin and former Hampshire man Bailey, who passed his previous best Twenty20 score of 71, both departed before the close - Middlesex scoring 181 for 6.In a reply which never got going, Adam Wheater struggled to time the ball and his tortured spell was ended when he skied one to Malan, Tom Alsop copied his fellow openers style four balls later.Hampshire captain Sean Ervine and England international Dawson ticked along with a promising 40 stand in five overs. But the hosts were stunted again when Dawson chipped to Lions teammate Malan at short extra cover before Shahid Afridi teed up to James Fuller at deep square leg.Ervine was progressing nicely with a rapid 36 before Higgins slower ball pegged his middle stump back. Morgan managed to keep himself inside the boundary to hold on to Weatherleys slog and the steady flow of wickets continued next ball when McLaren reverse swept to Bailey, off Higgins.Lewis McManus nicked off, Brad Taylor mistimed to short third man and Wheal was castled, with Hampshire losing their final five wickets in just 25 balls.
