John Lucas, signed as a mentor for rookie Trey Burke, showed he can score if required, scoring 12 points of his 16 points in the second quarter as Utah built an 18-point lead. 49ers Super Bowl Jerseys .C. - The Carolina Hurricanes have placed backup goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve with an unspecified lower-body injury. http://www.thesf49ersshoponline.com/Youth-Joe-Montana-49ers-Jersey/ . The Canadian squad, skipped by Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg, got on the board first with two in the second end, and followed that with two more apiece in the fourth and sixth ends.WASHINGTON -- The Pittsburgh Pirates have placed National League saves leader Jason Grilli on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right forearm. Grilli, who left Monday nights game at Washington in the ninth inning with discomfort in his forearm, travelled to Pittsburgh Tuesday and will be examined by team doctors. "The biggest thing weve got to do is get Jason back to Pittsburgh and be seen by our doctors and get a more thorough evaluation," Pittsburgh general manager Neal Huntington said. "The initial read was hes going to be down at least seven to 10 days so the DL becomes a no-brainer at that point, but the rest is speculative and anything else at this point would be purely that." Huntington was asked if the initial read on the injury was encouraging or incomplete. "Both," he said. "The initial read is encouraging but until we have the actual read it doesnt make a ton of sense for us to be out in front and speculate on what it is or how long hes going to be down." The All-Star right hander is 0-1 with a 2.34 EERA and 30 saves. Emmanuel Sanders Super Bowl Jersey. Manager Clint Hurdle said Mark Melancon (2-1, 0.97, two saves) will assume the closers role in Grillis absence. "I think its going to be somewhat of a seamless transition. We cant replace Jason but we are going to move Mark to the closer spot," Hurdle said. He said several relievers will work to fill Melancons eighth-inning role. "I do think well go the way the game flow is. We could have a different option every night," he said. "I dont think Im going to settle into one guy right now." The Pirates also plan to recall right hander Vic Black from Triple-A Indianapolis, where hes 1-2 with 15 saves and a 2.31 ERA. In a separate move Tuesday, Pittsburgh activated second baseman Neil Walker, who had been on the disabled list since July 7 with right side soreness. Walker is hitting .244 with six homers and 26 RBIs this season. To make room for Walker, Pittsburgh designated veteran infielder Brandon Inge for assignment. Inge appeared in 50 games, hitting .181 with a homer and seven RBIs. ' ' '
