NEW YORK -- The Chicago Cubs placed outfielder Chris Coghlan on the disabled list with a rib cage injury Sunday and called up Jeimer Candelario from Triple-A Iowa to replace him on the 25-man roster.Coghlan, who has been dealing with discomfort in his rib cage for several days, started for the Cubs in right field Saturday night. He flied out in his only at-bat before being replaced by Ben Zobrist. Coghlan expects to undergo tests Tuesday in Chicago to determine the extent of his injury.Its tough to gauge when you dont know how much to push or how much to back off, Coghlan said. Its hard to say you cant go anymore. But I knew I was probably going to have to go on the DL. Weve got a short bench, and you dont want to hurt the team.Candelario, 22, was hitting .333 with a 1.052 OPS at Iowa after receiving a promotion from Double-A Tennessee. He was rated as the Cubs No. 10 prospect before the season by ESPNs Keith Law.Candelario took an early flight out of Austin, Texas, on Sunday morning and was in Chicagos starting lineup against Noah Syndergaard in the series finale against the New York Mets at Citi Field. Manager Joe Maddon used Candelario at third base and batted him sixth.Hes a young kid with a great body and a big upside, Maddon said before the game. Hes a switch-hitter with pop. All that stuff is very exciting.Coghlan joins Dexter Fowler and Tommy La Stella among the veteran position players on the disabled list for the Cubs.Vin Scully Dodgers Jersey .ca!

The NCAAs statistics show the average FBS game has lasted 3 hours and 25 minutes through the first two weeks of the season, compared to a few minutes over 3 hours for the NFL, according to statistics supplied by the league.No. 23 Mississippi has already played two games that have topped four hours this season. The Rebels 45-34 loss to Florida State took 4:04 to complete while last weekends 48-43 loss to top-ranked Alabama lasted 4:02.In the sweat-soaked aftermath of the Ole Miss-Alabama game -- which was played on a day when the temperatures approached 90 degrees in Mississippi -- Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said that there were coaches and players who needed IVs.Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze acknowledged the Alabama game felt particularly long.Its definitely something that has to be looked at, Freeze said. Certainly for the fan experience. Both teams -- there were a lot of players cramping. It was a physical game.Ole Miss isnt the only team thats dealt with lengthy games. Troys 37-31 victory over Southern Mississippi last weekend took 4:12, while Californias thrilling 50-43 win over Texas lasted 3:56.The gap between NFL and NCAA game times has existed for years, but is slightly more pronounced so far this season.While fans might gripe about constant TV commercials and lengthy delays while officials review calls on instant replay, both the NFL and NCAA have to deal with those issues.Rogers Redding, the former natioonal coordinator of officials who sits on the NCAAs football rules committee, says there are a few key differences in NCAA and NFL games that could lead to the NCAAs unique issues.dddddddddddd Among them:- Halftime: A normal halftime in the NFL lasts 12 minutes -- though theres usually a delay as teams head to the locker rooms -- while the NCAAs usual break is 20 minutes. Halftime at both levels can be lengthened for certain situations, such as a special ceremony, but a college games halftime is almost always longer thanks to band performances and other pageantry.- Clock rules: The NFL and NCAA have slightly different clock rules, including after a team gains a first down. In the NFL, the clock continues to run after a first down while in the NCAA, there is a stoppage while the referee positions the ball and the chain crew on the sidelines readjusts its position.I do think theres some merit in doing what the NFL does on first downs, Freeze said.But overall, there isnt a huge push to shorten the college game. Redding said he didnt sense it was a pressing issue.So sit back, relax and grab some extra snacks. It doesnt look like college games are going to get shorter any time soon.I dont mean to sound flippant, but most fans make college football an all-day event anyway, Redding said. Theyre already in the stadium, so Im not sure if they care that much.-----Follow David Brandt on Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbrandtAP . AP College Football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org .
