Western Bulldogs coach Luke Beveridge admits his clubs shocking recent run of injuries has taken the wind out his sides sails as they enter the run home to the finals.A week after the Dogs lost Mitch Wallis and Jack Redpath to long-term injuries in an upset loss to St Kilda, Tom Liberatore (ankle) and Jack Macrae (hamstring) were unable to finish Friday nights 25-point loss to Geelong.What can you do? Its hard to laugh because youre disappointed for the boys who have gone down injured but if you dont laugh you probably cry, Beveridge said.We think we can pull it together and at some point start winning again and hopefully get (to finals) and give ourselves a sniff.But a little bit of wind has gone out of our sails.The Dogs lengthy injury list already included long-term absentee Bob Murphy and other key players such as Matt Suckling, Matthew Boyd, Dale Morris, Tom Campbell and Marcus Adams before the clash against the Cats.Despite those absentees, the brave Bulldogs dominated larges patches of the contest at Simonds Stadium before the losses of Liberatore, in the second quarter, and Macrae, in the third, started to have an effect.Liberatore cut a disconsolate figure as he slowly made his way to the Dogs bench after halftime on crutches, his left ankle in a protective moon boot.The Dogs have just four games left to try to reinvigorate their faltering campaign, but Beveridge said it was too early to rule Liberatore out for the rest of the season.We think its one of those syndesmosis (high ankle sprain) injuries that can keep you out for a little while, but there are different levels so hes still a chance to be with us, Beveridge said.We just need to scan it and see what it comes up with.Randall Cobb Womens Jersey . -- Patrick Reed got an early start in golf.

The game started the same way the Vancouver game started the night before, with the Jets taking the first two penalties of the game and killing off the first, but the Oilers getting on the board first, scoring on the second man-advantage.PHOENIX -- The Arizona Diamondbacks have sent pitcher Shelby Miller to Triple-A Reno, a move that he said he saw coming.Ive been struggling up here for a while, Miller said in the Arizona clubhouse Thursday. Im surprised I stayed up here this long.Miller has been a major disappointment after the Diamondbacks got him in an offseason trade with Atlanta for outfielder Ender Inciarte, 2015 No. 1 overall draft pick Dansby Swanson and top pitching prospect Aaron Blair.We just have to find a way to get him back to pitching the way he can, manager Chip Hale said.The right-hander is 2-9 with a 7.14 ERA. He was on the disabled list with a finger injury and worked in the minors to find his form. After some progress in is return, Miller had another rough night last week in a 13-6 home loss to San Diego. After blanking the Padres for three innings, he gave up five runs in the fourth when Arizona had a 4-0 lead.His stuff was good at times, good enough to win here, Hale said. He just couldnt put it together, so hell go down there, work on it and pitch his way back to the big leagues.Immediately after giving up so much to get Miller, the Diamondbacks penciled him in as the No. 2 starter behind Zack Greinke. But the team stumbled out of the gate and finds itself in last place in the NL West (38-52), 19 games behind first-place San Francisco.I told him were not going to be the team that we envisioned without him being who Shelby Miller can be, Hale said. That was my message.Hale said left-hander Edwin Escobar would be called up from Reno to take Miillers roster spot.dddddddddddd Escobar will work out of the bullpen, Hale said, and Zack Godley will be recalled from Reno to start Tuesday against Toronto.Miller said he pored over videos of his pitching during the break and said he saw some differences between this year and last.The biggest thing is to get back to maybe a little bit simpler and not so much forcing things and trying to make a perfect pitch, he said. I think thats when mechanics come easier and everything kind of flows and feels free. Hopefully I can get to that point and get back up here.Hale said Millers mechanics seem the same as they were last season.The mental side of it is just really hard to deal with, Hale said. When you dont have success, it festers and it gets worse.Hale called it a disappointing move for us to make as coaches.We feel like were here to make them better, make them better ballplayers and pitchers, he said, and weve dropped the ball with him.Miller said he had no idea how long hed be gone.It could be the rest of the year, it could be a couple of weeks, who knows, he said.Hale said Miller would have to earn his way back, like any other player.Its a performance-based game, Hale said.The Diamondbacks also dont have Greinke, who they signed to a six-year, $206.5 million contract in the offseason. Hes on the 15-day disabled list with a strained oblique.Arizona is home against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday night. ' ' '
