PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Atlanta Braves pitcher Brandon Beachy will have ligament-replacement surgery in his right elbow for the second time Friday and is expected to miss the entire season. The Braves said Thursday that Los Angeles Dodgers team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache will operate in Los Angeles. Beachys ulnar collateral ligament was reconstructed by Dr. James Andrews on June 21, 2012, and Beachy returned to go 2-1 with a 4.50 ERA in 30 innings over five starts from July 29 to Aug. 20 last summer. He finished the season on the disabled list because of elbow inflammation and left his third spring training start after two innings on March 10 complaining of soreness in his elbow and biceps. Beachy was examined Monday by Andrews, who recommended surgery, and the 27-year-old sought a second opinion. "It was confirmed by both doctors that he needed it, so he chose to have the surgery out there," Braves general manager Frank Wren said. "The way I look at it, this is his career. Hes got to feel confident and comfortable with how this is going to play out. If he has a better comfort level with one doctor versus another, thats OK. Thats all part of the healing process going forward is that confidence. If thats how he feels, thats OK." Braves pitcher Kris Medlen had a right elbow ligament replaced by Andrews for the second time Tuesday. With Oakland pitcher Jarrod Parker also needing a second elbow ligament-replacement operation, New York Mets general manager Sandy Alderson suggested Thursday that Major League Baseball study how to prevent reoccurrances. "We and the rest of baseball need to do more research into exactly what happens between the first surgery and the second injury, because obviously its devastating when it happens," Alderson said. "All of baseball is suffering from this -- I dont want to call it an epidemic -- certainly its something that bears more research." New York obviously is interested, given that ace Matt Harvey had similar surgery in October. "Compare mechanics before and after each -- before the surgery, after the first surgery," Alderson said. "In a lot of cases, mechanics do change over time, either voluntarily or involuntarily. Thats one aspect of information we need to start gathering." Adidas Falcon παπουτσια .

Joe Flacco produced an 80-yard touchdown drive in his only series, and the Ravens amassed 386 yards in offence en route to a 23-3 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night. It was the third time in three tries that Ravens coach John Harbaugh got the best of his brother, Jim Harbaugh, coach of the 49ers. Baltimore previously defeated San Francisco on Thanksgiving 2011 and in the Super Bowl ending the 2012 season. "Weve got some work to do," Jim Harbaugh said. Especially on defence. "Thats probably the biggest concern coming out right now," Jim Harbaugh noted. "We got pushed around a little bit." Each team played its starting unit for one series before the backups took over. After Colin Kaepernick moved the 49ers 66 yards for a field goal, Flacco made himself right at home in Kubiaks variation of the West Coast offence, going 4 for 5 for 52 yards during a 10-play scoring drive. "Ten plays in a new offence, that doesnt happen very often," wide receiver Steve Smith said. "We were high tempo, high paced, so that went well." Kubiak, the former head coach of the Houston Texans, replaced offensive co-ordinator Jim Caldwell, now Detroits head coach. "The execution by the offence on our first drive was what we like to see," John Harbaugh said. "Our technique and assignments were sharp. It was good, fundamentally sound football." Four different receivers caught passes from Flacco, the former Super Bowl MVP: Dennis Pitta for 14 yards, Jacoby Jones for 12, Kyle Juszczyk for 17 and Smith for 9. "You expect to go out there and have a good drive," Flacco said. "You envision good things happening. You have a good idea of what plays youre going to run. It kind of went on schedule." Ray Rice ran three times for 17 yards after receiving a warm ovation from the home crowd during pregame introductions. Rice has been suspended by the NFL for the opening two regular season games after being arrested for domestic violence in February. A year ago, the Ravens averaged a meagre 3.1 yards per carry. In this game, they totallled 237 yards rushing on 48 tries, a 4.dddddddddddd9 average. "The thing that was good was that we went out the first drive, Joe and all of us, and we executed," Rice said. "But when we came out, the same level of execution came in. It was good to see that there was no dropoff from anybody." Bernard Pierce will probably start while Rice is serving his suspension. Pierce ran for 37 yards, including a 2-yard touchdown run to end Baltimores opening drive. Kubiaks offence is different for the running backs, too, and Pierce appears to have made the adjustment. "Its definitely a one-cut system," he said. "Its not that complicated to run." John Harbaugh was predictably low-key about the success of the running game. "Its just one day and you have to build on top of it," he said. San Francisco had offensive co-ordinator Greg Roman back from last year, but he streamlined the playbook during the off-season in an effort to make it easier for Kaepernick to get the call in. Kaepernick appeared relaxed at the helm during his lone series. He completed his only pass, 17 yards to tight end Vance McDonald. "Ended up in the red zone with an opportunity to score a touchdown, so thats all that really matters," Kaepernick said. "The biggest thing for us was we were trying to get points on the board, regardless of how we get there." San Francisco running back Frank Gore did not play. Rookie Carlos Hyde started and gained 39 yards on five carries. Jonathan Martin started at right tackle for the 49ers in place of injured Anthony Davis (shoulder). Martin, who was in the centre of the Miami Dolphins bullying scandal involving former teammate Richie Incognito, came to San Francisco in an off-season trade. Kaepernicks backup, Blaine Gabbert, went 3 for 11 for 20 yards and an interception. Flaccos replacement, Tyrod Taylor, completed 13 of 21 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for 59 yards on five carries. Justin Tucker kicked three field goals for Baltimore, including a 55-yarder that made it 16-3 late in the third quarter. NOTES: The 49ers rested, among others, Gore, WRs Michael Crabtree and Brandon Lloyd and LB Patrick Willis. ... Ravens top draft pick C.J. Mosley had a sack. ' ' '
