Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - The Texas Rangers have selected the contract of outfielder Joey Butler from Triple-A Round Rock just hours after Nelson Cruz was handed a 50-game suspension that begins Monday night. Cruz was connected to MLBs investigation of the Biogenesis of America clinic, which was accused of supplying performance-enhancing substances. Losing Cruz is a significant blow to the Rangers, who enter the seasons final two months a half-game out of a Wild Card berth in the AL and 2 1/2 games behind Oakland for first place in the AL West. The All-Star right fielder was pacing the club in homers (27) and RBI (76). "We lose a big bat out of our lineup," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "Were looking for the guys in the clubhouse to rally together. Weve been through adversity before and well deal with it. Theres disappointment, but no anger. Theres a consequence for things that you do. Butler, 27, will take his place on the roster after batting .290 with 21 doubles, 10 home runs, and 44 RBI over 97 games with Round Rock. The Rangers also recalled outfielder Engel Beltre from Round Rock and designated infielder Adam Rosales for assignment just a few days after picking him up off waivers. Beltre appeared in 13 games for Texas from June 23-August 1 and batted .300 (9-30) with two RBI. Rosales was batting just .193 with four home runs and eight RBI over 50 games with Oakland this season before getting waived last week. He never appeared in a game for the Rangers.Cheap Tennessee Titans Jerseys .

Cheap Titans Jerseys . -- For the first time in two months, an opponent was standing up to Alabama.RIO DE JANEIRO -- There was nothing the least bit shaky about South Korean archer Kim Woojins world-record performance at the Olympics.He was in such a rhythm that a wobbly piece of plywood the competitors stood on to shoot failed to even distract him.Kim set a recurve world record with a score of 700 on Friday during the qualifying round of archery at the Rio de Janeiro Games.A perfect score is 720, with archers shooting a total of 72 arrows. The results of the qualifying round are used determine the seedings for the bracketed tournament next week.Of Kims 72 arrows, 52 were in the 10 ring, which is the highest score. He didnt have an arrow score below a nine.Still, he didnt have time to revel in his feat. Theres a team competition the following day and his focus was on medals, not records.Today, it doesnt feel that important, Kim said through a translator.His fellow competitors were impressed enough for him:-Really, really fantastic, David Pasqualucci of Italy said.-He was perfect. Its a big incentive for me, to go further, to go higher and higher, Marcus DAlmeida of Brazil said.-The fact he shot a 700 is amazing, said Brady Ellison of the United States, who finished second in qualifying with a score of 690. Shouldve been five or six points higher, too.In Ellisons opinion, thats because of a creaky surface. There was scaffolding on the ground and on top of that was a thin piece of plywood. It tended to shift each time someone moved in the long line of shooters.Its not enough to really, really hurt you, or enough to make a huge complaint about it. But I do believe it cost the whole field a few points, said Ellison, who combined with teammates Zach Garrett and Jake Kaminski to finish second as a team behind the South Koreans in qualifying. Kims (score) is just really impressive.In womens qualifying, South Koreas Choi Misun was on Olympic-record pace until a breeze picked up in the middle of the competition. She finished with a score of 669, which was slightly ahead of her teammates Chang Hye-JJin (666) and Ki Bo-Bae (663).ddddddddddddThe Olympic mark is held by Ukraines Lina Herasymenko, who scored 673 at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Ki has the womens world record of 686, which she set in 2015.We had bad conditions compared to this morning, but the result was good so I have some confidence, said Choi, whose nation has won seven straight Olympic gold medals in the womens team event. We have the best players, we have talent and skill. Its so windy that people can get overwhelmed, but we (did) well in the end.Kim certainly settled into the Sambadrome quite nicely, with the walls making any sort of breeze hardly detectable. There also were newly added Olympic logos on a green backdrop behind the target that gave the archers better depth perception.And Kim took advantage.He opened with a 10 and was just warming up.On his final arrow, he connected on a 10 to beat the previous mark of 699 for 72 arrows set by Im Dong-hyun of South Korea at the 2012 London Games. Im is the visually impaired archer whose story made headlines in London. He didnt make a strong South Korean team for Rio thats obviously led by Kim.I think three years, four years ago, only the compound bow can (score a) 700, Pasqualucci said, alluding to another form of bow used in other competitions but not at the Olympics. Thats not correct now. Its amazing.Kim was the overwhelming favorite heading into the Olympics and did nothing to dispel that belief.Today was just a ranking, said Kim, a two-time individual world champion. Tomorrow the match is more important. Want to focus on tomorrow -- not really be happy today.DAlmeida also is a medal favorite and wound up 34th in qualifying. He insisted the pressure of competing in his backyard doesnt add extra stress.Doesnt make a difference, DAlmeida said. Its difficult everywhere.---Follow AP Sports Writer Pat Graham on Twitter: http://twitter.com/pgraham34 ' ' '
