WILLIAMS HAS SURGERY: Toronto Raptors guard Alvin Williams had arthroscopic surgery on his left ankle last week.
The team made the announcement on Monday and said that the surgery was to remove bone spurs from the ankle. Williams had the same surgery done last June.
He is scheduled to begin rehabilitation following a brief recovery period.
Williams averaged a career-best 13.2 points and a team-leading 5.2 assists this past season.
Baseball
VINA PUT ON D.L.: The St. Louis Cardinals placed second baseman Fernando Vina on the 15-day disabled list Monday with a severely torn right hamstring, an injury that will sideline him for six-to-12 weeks.
It's a huge blow to the defending NL Central champions, because Vina is also the team's only true leadoff hitter. He has struggled much of the year, but a six-game hitting streak had boosted his average to .262 with a .316 on-base percentage.
REDS MAKE MOVES: The Cincinnati Reds activated right-handed pitcher Jimmy Haynes on Monday and sent infielder Rainer Olmedo to Double-A Chattanooga.
Haynes was scheduled to start Tuesday night's game against the Atlanta Braves. He's been on the disabled list since April 17 with a bulging disc. He's 0-4 with a 12.74 ERA this season.
Olmedo got his first major league start Monday against the Braves and went 0-for-4. In two games, he was 0-for-5 with three strikeouts.
TORONTO'S HINSKE OUT: Toronto third baseman Eric Hinske will undergo surgery on his right hand and is expected to miss four-to-six weeks.
Last year's AL rookie of the year was placed on the 15-day disabled list. He will undergo surgery on the broken hamate bone on Wednesday in either Boston or New York.

MET MILE: Trainer Bobby Frankel can't win a Triple Crown race. He can win just about everything else.
Aldebaran gave Frankel his third victory in the Met Mile on Monday, taking the lead from fading 4-5 favorite Congaree and then holding off Saarland by a neck at Belmont Park.
"I had a real good feeling about him all day," Frankel said. "He's been acting so good all week. This race looked like it would set up good for him."
Later Monday, Frankel's Tates Creek won the $439,000 Gamely Breeders' Cup Handicap at Hollywood Park.
Frankel will send out Empire Maker in the Belmont Stakes on June 7, hoping not only to spoil Funny Cide's bid for the Triple Crown, but to earn his first win in one of the Classics. The Hall of Fame trainer is 0-for-9 in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont.

Miller, of Johnson City, Tenn., started on the pole but faded briefly because of a fogging windshield. He regained the lead for good after then-leader Stu Hayner spun off course on lap 13 of the 59-lap race.
Bobby Sak, of Bloomfield, Mich., was second and Jorge Diaz, of San Juan, Puerto Rico, was third.

ILLINOIS STAR WINS TITLE: Amer Delic of Illinois won the NCAA men's singles championship Monday, defeating Benedikt Dorsch of Baylor 6-4, 6-3.
Illinois, which won the team title last week, made it a sweep when Brian Wilson and Rajeev Ram beat San Diego State's Oliver Maiberger and Ryan Redondo, 6-4, 5-7, 6-1 to win the doubles title.
Mountain climbing
SHERPA BREAKS RECORD: A Sherpa who has climbed Mount Everest more than anyone else did it again Monday, and another broke the speed record with an 11-hour sprint to the top.
Appa, who like most Sherpas uses only one name, made his record 13th climb of the 29,035-foot peak — this time with an American expedition, the Nepalese tourism ministry said.
Appa told The Associated Press he was not trying to set any records. He said his job is to guide Western climbers to the top and it's the only work he does well.
Appa first climbed Everest in 1989 with a New Zealand team led by veteran climber Rob Hall, one of eight people who died during a storm near the summit in 1996.
In another record-setting climb, Lakpa Gyelu raced from Everest's 17,380-foot base camp to the summit in 10 hours and 56 minutes on Monday. Most climbers take about four days to cover the distance up the mountain's steep and icy slopes.
