CHICAGO -- Atlanta Braves right-hander Julio Teheran is expected to make his next start after recovering from an infection in his right thigh.Braves interim manager Brian Snitker confirmed that Teheran will be able to start Saturday afternoon against the Chicago White Sox in the second game of their three-game series.Teheran (3-7, 2.72 ERA) returned to Atlanta earlier in the week to undergo treatment for the infection from an ingrown hair, which forced him to miss Wednesdays start against the Phillies. He threw a side session on Thursday.Everythings really good, Snitker said. Hes running around and doing all his pregame stuff. Hell be ready to go.Teheran has never faced the White Sox. If all goes well Saturday and from there forward, Teheran -- the Braves lone All-Star selection -- could also pitch in the midsummer classic on Tuesday in San Diego.Im happy to be back (as an All-Star), Teheran told MLB.com. Last year, I couldnt make it because I was struggling, but Im glad to be back at that game. Whenever you make it the first time, you just want to keep being an All-Star.In his last start, Teheran allowed five runs and 11 hits in 6 2/3 innings against the Miami Marlins on July 1 before the discomfort from the infection worsened Sunday.Ive never gotten that many (antibiotic) shots in my life, Teheran said. I dont know how I got (the infection), but Im glad we got it before it got worse.Atlanta was playing at their fifth ballpark in seven days on Friday. They faced the Marlins in Miami before that series moved to Fort Bragg, N.C., last Sunday for the first major league game on an active military base.Then the Braves headed to Philadelphia for a three-game series against the Phillies, and made up a rainout against the Chicago Cubs on Thursday at Wrigley Field. After beating the Cubs 4-3 in 11 innings after midnight Friday, the Braves traveled across town to open the series against the White Sox.When we went into this I said were going to need an All-Star break to recover from this with different game times and travel and whatnot, Snitker said. Its been a tough go, but thats what we do.The Braves (30-57) have won two straight after losing four in a row. They opened their series against the White Sox with an 11-8 victory Friday.The guys were really aggressive and had a good approach, Snitker said.For the White Sox, left-hander Jose Quintana (6-8, 3.06 ERA) will start. He ended a seven-game losing streak Sunday when he limited the Houston Astros to a run and two hits in seven innings.The White Sox have scored just 13 runs in his last 10 starts. They tallied four runs to beat the Astros.Good reaction, Quintana told MLB.com. More runs. Sometimes I wait for them. Today, the lineup made a good effort.In his lone career start against Atlanta on July 21, 2013, Quintana allowed a run and nine hits in 5 2/3 innings for a victory. Allie Long USA Jersey . Bradwell was scheduled to become a free agent Tuesday. Born and raised in Toronto, Bradwell is entering his sixth CFL season, with all six played for his hometown Argonauts. Lynn Williams USA Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. http://www.officialsocceruswntshop.com/mallory-pugh-usa-jersey/ . -- Josh Sterk scored once and set up two more as the Oshawa Generals edged the visiting Belleville Bulls 3-2 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action. Allie Long Jersey .Y. -- Syracuse has turned up the defence at the right time all season, and when High Point threatened to pull off a monumental upset the second-ranked Orange did what they do best with their quick hands and savvy play. Amy Rodriguez USA Jersey . Murray beat Sam Querrey 7-6 (5), 6-7 (3), 6-1, 6-3 to clinch Britains opening-round victory against the United States on Sunday at Petco Park. "Im proud of the way Im playing just now, because I had to do a lot of work to get back to where I want to be," Murray said after celebrating with his teammates on the red clay court in a temporary stadium in left field of the downtown home of baseballs San Diego Padres. The NFL reached Peak No Fun League this season, the result of another attempt to crack down on the kind of insidious, soul-draining behavior that threatens to undermine the fabric of the game. In other words, spontaneous joy is out. So are most forms of celebration and darn near every ounce of shade players toss at one another. Taunting penalties have spiked, at one point up more than 200 percent compared with last season. Unsportsmanlike conduct penalties have risen, and ejections have nearly tripled last seasons total.How to make sense of a world scared straight? For your convenience, ESPN offers this handy tool. Flag or no flag? You make the call. Well tell you if youre, uh, right.Josh Norman, Washington Redskins | Bow and ArrowNorman pretends to shoot a bow and arrow. Hes holding neither a bow nor an arrow, but you get the point. Think of him as a modern day Robin Hood. He steals from the rich and gives to the poor. This is a penalty because it is close enough to a machine-gun salute that is explicitly banned in the NFL rulebook. Penalty? Yes!Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh Steelers | End Zone TwerkingEverybodys doing the twerk, including Brown. But thats a big no-no. Nobody twerks in the NFL. Nobody. In the view of league officials, its a sexually suggestive dance that involves gyrations, both of which are explicitly banned in the NFL rulebook. Thats a penalty every time.?Penalty? Yes!Emmanuel Sanders, Denver Broncos | The CartwheelA cartwheel is dramatic and draws attention to the individual who is, well, cartwheeling. But surprise! Its not illegal according to NFL rules. (Wait until next year. Ha!) Sanders didnt violate any of the known restrictions. It wasnt prolonged or excessive. It wasnt sexually suggestive. It had no gyrations, and the only parts of his body that touched the ground were his hands and feet. Good job, good effort! Penalty? No!Golden Tate, Detroit Lions | Lets Go Lions!The Lions added a cheerleading squad this season, and all Golden Tate wanted to do was support it. So after a touchdown earlier this season, he jumped into the mix, borrowed a pair of poms and joined in the dance. No penalty! He was on the sideline, after all, and outside of the field of play. He was free to do darn near anything that didnt spur an all-around brawl. Penalty? No!Andrew Hawkins, Cleveland Browns | The RobotAndrew. Hawkins. Decided. He. Wanted. To. Be. A. Troll. (Good. Natured..dddddddddddd Of. Course.) So. He. Acted. Like. A. Robot. After. Scoring. A. Touchdown. The. Browns. Receiver. Placed. The. Ball. On. The. Ground. Like. A. Mechanical. Robot. Then. He. Walked. To. The. Sideline. It. Was. Funny. And. Completely. Legal. Because. No. Other. Teammates. Jumped. In. Well. Done. And. Point. Well. Taken. Penalty? No.Vernon Davis, Washington Redskins | The Jump ShotDavis is 6-foot-5 and has played a little basketball in his time. Back in the day, he celebrated touchdowns by dunking over the crossbar. When the NFL outlawed that, he pulled back to shooting a little fadeaway jump shot. But as he found out this season, the fade is a foul too. It uses the ball and the crossbar as props -- the football standing in as a basketball, the crossbar as a hoop -- and thats a penalty. Penalty? Yes!Terrelle Pryor, Cleveland Browns | The LeBronPryor paid homage to Cleveland legend LeBron James earlier this season, emulating James chalk toss after scoring a touchdown. Mistake. The first segment, pictured above, was fine. What happened next -- visible on this NFL.com video -- was not. By sprinkling a handful of chalk on the ball, Pryor was using it as a prop in the celebration. The play was not penalized, but Pryor said he was fined -- an indication officials should have thrown a flag as well. Penalty? No!Stefon Diggs, Minnesota Vikings | Diggin ItDiggs likes to go Gravedigger when he scores. You know, because his name is Diggs and thats part of the word Gravedigger. Lo and behold, its perfectly legal and will remain so as long as he doesnt use the ball as a shovel, and no other players join in on the fun. Penalty? No!Blake Bortles, Jacksonville Jaguars | Kickin ItNFL players can spike and spin a ball, as long as they dont do it toward an opponent. The same goes for a punt. So when the Jaguars QB celebrated a touchdown by punting the ball into the crowd at Londons Wembley Stadium, Bortles was neither penalized nor fined. Who knew? Penalty? No!Terrelle Pryor, Cleveland Browns | Ooops!After making a big catch in Week 2, Pryor appeared to be flipping the ball to an official as he returned to the line of scrimmage. But the ball hit an opposing player, and the nearby official judged it to be taunting. Penalty? Yes!Animations by Andrew Colin Beck ' ' '
