Baseball Betting Lines

05/09/2008 - San Diego, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The San Diego Padres released struggling outfielder Jim Edmonds on Friday.

The 37-year-old Edmonds, who was acquired in a trade with the St. Louis Cardinals in December, was batting just .178 with one home run and six RBI in 26 games this season.

In parts of 16 big league seasons with the California/Anaheim Angels (1993-99), Cardinals (2000-07) and Padres (2008), the four-time All-Star amassed a career batting average of .286 with 363 homers and 1,127 RBI.

Known as one of the best defensive outfielders in the game, Edmonds also won eight Gold Glove awards between 1997 and 2005.

To replace Edmonds on the roster, the Padres recalled outfielder Jody Gerut from Triple-A Portland.

Meanwhile, San Diego also claimed left-handed pitcher Sean Henn off waivers from the New York Yankees.

The 27-year-old Henn was 1-0 with a 0.84 ERA in eight relief appearances this season between Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and Single-A Tampa.

The left-hander has made 36 major league appearances with New York (five starts) over parts of three seasons (2005-07), posting a 2-6 record with a 7.53 ERA.

Henn is scheduled to join the Padres Saturday in San Diego.
