LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Chris Withrow was diagnosed with a ligament tear in his right elbow and was told he needs Tommy John surgery. The team said Thursday that their first-round draft pick in 2007 was examined last week by team physician Neal ElAttrache, who diagnosed a tear of the ulnar collateral ligament. Withrow, who last pitched for the Dodgers on May 20 in New York, was placed on the disabled list and will consult another doctor next week before deciding his next course of action. Last week, the 25-yuear-old Texan was demoted to Triple-A Albuquerque. He had a 2.95 ERA in 20 appearances this season, with 28 strikeouts and 18 walks in 21 1-3 innings while holding opposing hitters to a .143 batting average. Five of his outings lasted longer than one inning. "Chris has always been a guy that weve paid attention to," manager Don Mattingly said. "And when weve used him, you never knew how he was going to bounce back the next day -- whether we used him one inning or two innings. "He pitched the night before he went down. He was throwing 95, and he got guys out in the eighth. So there was nothing that were trying to hide here," Mattingly added. "It is a blow for us because hes a guy with a power arm and power stuff. But we got caught up in a numbers game. So it wasnt that he didnt deserve to be here." On April 27 against the Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium, Withrow walked the bases loaded in the eighth inning and Mattingly had enough confidence in him to let him get out of the jam. He did, striking out Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki to help preserve a 6-3 victory. "I remember taking questions about him the day he pitched with the bases loaded and got Tulo and Cargo out. So hes a guy were going to miss," Mattingly said. "Hes a guy that had some success for us in that playoff run last year, and you all saw how I used him in the seventh and eighth inning."

They shot a season-high 50 per cent from the field and forced 16 turnovers to win for just the second time this month.You get that taste and then start to remember why we do the things we do every day, why we run the system, why we try to play and get the win, Miles said. Weve still got to believe in that stuff because as competitors we want to win every game, make everybody play, want to make every shot and you get impatient.Mo Williams had 24 points and 10 assists and Shabazz Muhammad added 21 points and six rebounds for the Timberwolves (5-21). They have lost 11 of their last 12 games.I told our guys what I was most disappointed in, and it was pointed at our young players, was I thought they had no energy to start the game, coach Flip Saunders said. When youre playing your young players and theyre playing that much and you have that many wasted minutes, youre going to struggle.West finished with 14 points on 7-for-9 shooting and Donald Sloan scored eight straight points for Indiana to start the fourth quarter while the Timberwolves charged back into the game.The Wolves missed 13 of their first 14 shots, but looked even worse on the defensive end where they allowed Indiana to shoot 55 per cent in the first half and build a 16-point lead.The Pacers led 61-42 early in the third quarter before the Wolves woke up.

They showed great composure and were able to pull out the win.Both teams have battled injuries to key players all season, with the Pacers missing Paul George and George Hill and the Wolves playing most of the season without point guard Ricky Rubio, centre Nikola Pekovic and shooting guard Kevin Martin.TIP-INSPacers: Coach Frank Vogel said injured PG George Hill (quadriceps) has looked good for stretches during practice, but is still trying to get his conditioning back. He was injured in Minnesota in the preseason and has not played yet this year. ... The Pacers have at least 20 assists in six of their last eight games.Timberwolves: Newly acquired Troy Daniels made a brief debut at the end of the second quarter. Daniels came from Houston in the trade that sent Corey Brewer to the Rockets last week. The Wolves have been at the bottom of the league in 3-point shooting, which is Daniels specialty. Theres definitely going to be a lot more 3s, I can tell you that, Daniels said.WIGGINS STRUGGLESRookie Andrew Wiggins, the No. 1 overall pick, scored five points on 2-for-8 shooting and was singled out by Saunders after the game for his lack of energy at the start.
