INDIANAPOLIS -- Andrew Lucks protectors are now taking their own hits. Colts coach Chuck Pagano said Sunday that left tackle Anthony Castonzo will not play in the preseason finale after an MRI confirmed Castonzo has a mild sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his right knee. Castonzo was injured on the opening series of Saturday nights 27-6 victory over Cleveland and did not return. Right guard Mike McGlynn did not play Saturday after bruising his knee during practice last week. Castonzo is listed as day-to-day, and Pagano said Sunday he hopes both would be ready for the Sept. 8 opener against Oakland. "The MRI was pretty much negative. It wasnt as bad as anybody anticipated," Pagano said, discussing Castonzos prognosis during a conference call. "You never want to lose anybody, and particularly the guy whos protecting the blind side of your quarterback." Joe Reitz will replace Castonzo in the lineup at Cincinnati. Reitz started nine games in 2011 and eight last season, all with the Colts, after being cut by the Ravens in 2010. Protecting Luck was Indys top off-season priority after yielding 41 sacks and dozens more hits last season. General manager Ryan Grigson signed right tackle Gosder Cherilus and left guard Donald Thomas in the first hours of free agency -- an effort to shore up Lucks protection. Grigson also drafted two offensive linemen, Hugh Thornton and Khaled Holmes, in the third and fourth rounds, respectively. While Cherilus and Thomas have been solid, the Colts arent quite sure what they can expect from their injured rookies. Holmes sprained his right ankle on the fourth day of training camp and hasnt practiced or played since then. Thornton sprained his right ankle a few days before training camp opened, returned to practice last week and made his preseason debut Saturday. "He knocked off a little bit of rust, but he looked pretty good in there in both the run and the pass game," Pagano said. The offensive line isnt the only spot where the Colts are hurting. Indys top two tight ends Dwayne Allen (right foot) and Coby Fleener (right knee) sat out against Cleveland, and backup receiver Nathan Palmer left late in the game with a knee injury. Pagano said an MRI confirmed Palmer also has a sprained MCL and is likely to miss four to six weeks -- a diagnosis that could jeopardize his ability to make the 53-man active roster. The Colts have already begun the cut-down process. On Sunday, they waived 11 players and put backup linebacker Lawrence Sidbury on injured reserve, trimming the 90-man roster to 78. They must be down to 75 by Tuesday. Sidbury signed on the first day of free agency, a move aimed at helping special teams and bolstering the defence. But he hurt his shoulder in last weeks win over the Giants and got a second opinion this past week. Pagano said Sunday he will get another opinion and likely will have surgery. The Colts also waived cornerbacks Johnny Adams and Allen Chapman, offensive linemen Danous Estenor and Rick Schmeig, defensive tackle Kellen Heard, punter-kicker Brandon McManus, running back Davin Meggett, linebacker C.O. Prime and safety Ashante Williams. Receiver Maurice Williams was waived with an injury settlement. Cornerback Teddy Williams was waived-injured and will revert to Indys injured reserve if he clears waivers. Adam Frazier Pirates Jersey . PAUL, Minn. Corey Dickerson Pirates Jersey .

The Angels hired Baylor on Wednesday to replace Jim Eppard, who wasnt retained by manager Mike Scioscia. The 64-year-old Baylor had been Arizonas hitting coach for the past three years. The former manager of the Rockies and Cubs should be a respected veteran voice on Scioscias coaching staff, which is undergoing an overhaul after the big-budget Angels worst season in a decade. "Don enjoyed a distinguished playing career, highlighted by his tenure with the Angels during their first two division championships," Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto said. "As a coach, he brings us tremendous expertise in the areas of hitting, communication and presence. Its nice to have him home." Many Orange County fans still have fond memories of Baylor, who won the AL MVP award while playing for the Angels in 1979, batting .296 with 36 homers and 139 RBIs. He spent six seasons with the then-California Angels, beecoming the teams clubhouse leader while hitting 141 homers.dddddddddddd Eppard and bench coach Rob Picciolo were let go by the Angels last week. Scioscia and Dipoto kept their jobs despite the Angels 78-84 finish in third place in the AL West in their fourth consecutive season out of the playoffs. Third base coach Dino Ebel was promoted to bench coach, but Scioscia hasnt yet replaced Ebel at third base. The Angels also are likely to hire one or two additional assistant coaches, Dipoto said. Scioscia and Dipoto both praised Eppard while letting him go -- and hitting wasnt usually the Angels biggest problem last season despite underwhelming performances by high-priced sluggers Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton. Los Angeles was third in the AL in team average (.264) and hits (1,476), finishing sixth with 733 runs. Pitching coach Mike Butcher kept his job despite the Angels 4.23 team ERA -- 11th in the AL. Only Minnesota and Houston allowed more hits in the league than the Los Angeles pitchers ( ' ' '
