BASEBALL / DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE MAJORS : Pirates’ King on Disabled List
Jeff King, the Pittsburgh Pirates’ only consistent run producer, went on the 15-day disabled list because of a sprained wrist, and third baseman Kevin Young was recalled from triple-A Calgary.
Young, batting .356 at Calgary after twice flopping as a Pirate regular, was in the lineup Saturday night against San Diego.
King was enjoying perhaps his best all-around season with a .287 average, six homers and 35 RBIs when he injured his left wrist while sliding Thursday against the Dodgers.

Milwaukee Brewer right-hander Cal Eldred, on the disabled list since May 19, has decided to have surgery to repair a partially torn ligament in his elbow and will be out for the rest of the season.
