PHOENIX -- The Arizona Diamondbacks have designated Trevor Cahill for assignment, a move that could send the struggling right-hander to the minors. Fake Tigers Jerseys . Cahill, acquired in a trade with Oakland in 2012, had lost his job in the rotation after a series of bad outings then struggled in a bullpen role. The team also placed third baseman Eric Chavez on the 15-day disabled list with a sore right knee. The Diamondbacks activated right-handed reliever J.J. Putz from the disabled list and recalled right-handed reliever Will Harris from Triple-A Reno. The Diamondbacks have 10 days to either trade Cahill, release him, outright him or option him to the minors. If they outright him, the pitcher would go on waivers and could be claimed by other teams. That and a trade are unlikely because Cahill is due to earn about $17 million in a contract that runs through next year, and Cahill seemed to be open to the idea of going to the minors, probably to Reno. "Our hope is to retain him," Diamondbacks general manager Kevin Towers said. "We still think theres value there." Cahill , 1-6 with a 5.66 ERA, had his best years with Oakland. In 2010, he was 18-8 for the As with a 2.97 ERA. "After everything thats happened, I still believe I can come back and be a starter and help this team win," he said before Monday nights game against Houston. "I mean, theyve been nothing but supportive and I cant ask f or anything more." Manager Kirk Gibson noted that Cahill is only 26. "This games tough. Theres a lot of people that struggle," Gibson said, "and they have to find a way to get back to what they can be. Again, its a tough game, but I still believe in Trevor. I have confidence in him. Hes young. Hes got that going for him." Cahill was particularly aggravating to the Diamondbacks because at times he had spectacular stuff, but that didnt translate into success in games. "There are times when I come out of the pen and feel real good and starts when I feel really good, its just the starts that I dont feel sharp," he said. "Ive just got to figure out a way to kind of get through it and still help the team win." Towers said that Cahill is not suited for a bullpen role. "We think his best role is a starter," Towers said. "Thats what we traded for is a starter. ... Its tough to get a guy lengthened up to become a starter when hes pitching once every eight or nine days in relief." Asked if he regretted the trade, Towers said that he doesnt look back once a deal is made. "I still believe in the kid," he said. Cahill voiced confidence in the Diamondbacks front office. "Im sure theyll do right by me," he said. "They havent given me any indication they wouldnt. Im just going to do whatever is best for the team. I want to stay here but I want to get better and be the guy that I think I can be." Schoolboy Rowe Jersey . Third-place Madrid fell behind and settled for a 2-2 draw earlier at Osasuna in a match both sides finished with 10 men, and Barcelona didnt let the chance escape. Barcelona, still without the injured Lionel Messi, again turned to Neymar after his hat trick against Celtic in the Champions League on Wednesday to convert a penalty on the half-hour mark and restore the lead in the 68th after Villarreal levelled. Ty Cobb Jersey . -- The Detroit Lions made it crystal clear to Golden Tate that he was their top target in free agency.Olympic leaders have asked the World Anti-Doping Agency to set up a new testing body, withdrawing drug control duties from international sports federations. The International Olympic Committee made the proposal at a high-level summit in Lausanne, with the measures due to be considered at a WADA meeting in Glasgow on November 19-20.IOC chiefs called for a new anti-doping testing authority within the framework of WADA to be established and they also want a more robust, more efficient, more transparent and more harmonised anti-doping system, and more finance for WADA under the reforms.

WADA will remain in control of regulatory and compliance in the anti-doping fight but the new testing body - which could operate at the 2018 Winter Olympics - will have responsibility for testing athletes, according to the IOC. The new body will also have intelligence and investigation capabilities, added the IOC, which has also backed a plan for the Court of Arbitration for Sport to take charge of sanctioning athletes who test positive for doping.Sports federations have had the primary role in deciding on punishments for those caught cheating, with athletes taking their case to CAS on appeal. Rudy York Jersey. WADAs relationship with the IOC hit historic lows ahead of this summers Olympics in Rio with some IOC leaders accusing it of reacting too slowly to evidence that Russia was running a massive state-sponsored doping programme and questioning the agencys governance. WADA countered that it has been left dangerously under-resourced. But by maintaining its supervisory role in the global anti-doping fight and by leading the effort to forge a new testing authority, WADA has been assured a crucial role moving forward.  Sir Craig Reedie, president of WADA, was pleased with the outcome of the meeting Im very happy with it, said WADA chief Sir Craig Reedie following the meeting. The recommendations will strengthen WADA.
