ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Left-hander Jason Vargas went on the Los Angeles Angels 15-day disabled list Friday after a blood clot was found in his left armpit. The blood clot was discovered following Vargas start against Seattle on Monday, making his move to the disabled list retroactive to Tuesday. He will seek a second opinion at UCLA before considering surgery. "You always want to keep pitching, but at the same time, Id rather not have a blood clot in my shoulder," said Vargas, who was scheduled to start Saturday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. "If I was pitching and it came loose, then it could really cause some issues. So Im definitely glad the staff recognized it and we got it taken care of and looked at, and were going through the right channels." Vargas is 6-4 with a 3.65 ERA in his first season with the Angels, who acquired him from the Mariners in the off-season. A few days before his last start, he noticed temperature differences in his pitching hand caused by circulation problems due to the clot. "It doesnt affect the way I can throw the ball or anything like that," Vargas said. "Its just not letting blood travel like it should." Jerome Williams will take Vargas turn in the rotation Saturday against Pittsburgh. The Angels also selected the contract of right-hander Billy Buckner from Triple-A Salt Lake to fill Vargas roster spot. Williams got bumped out of the Angels rotation recently despite going 5-2 with 3.14 ERA this season, making seven starts and 18 appearances. Williams was put in long relief instead of Joe Blanton (1-10, 5.62 ERA), who has improved in his last few starts despite his dismal record. Buckner got his first major league victory since 2009 for the Angels last month, pitching five innings of two-hit ball in Kansas City. The 29-year-old hadnt pitched in the majors since 2010.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Michelle Carter loves to let the tension build.At the Olympics, she took it to extremes.The American shot putter waited until her last throw Friday night to knock off arguably the best woman to ever compete in the event -- two-time defending champion Valerie Adams of New Zealand.Now, Carter has a gold medal to go with the silver one her longtime NFL defensive lineman father, Michael Carter, captured in the shot put at the 1984 Los Angeles Games.It marks the first gold by an American woman in the event and just the second medal all-time. She joins an exclusive club that, until Friday, only included Earlene Brown, who won bronze at the 1960 Games.Its not over `til its over, said Carter, who has a fashion line called Shot Diva. I knew it was a good throw, but I didnt know how far it could be.Let the record show that the throw went 20.63 meters (67 feet 8 \\ inches) to overtake Adams and break her own American record. Adams had the final attempt of the evening, but couldnt come close to equaling the mark. Anita Marton of Hungary was third.That was a big throw, said Adams, who was going for an unprecedented third straight Olympic title in the event. You can never underestimate anybody, especially Michelle. Shes one of these people that can pop out anything, especially in the last round.You have to expect the unexpected.This really shouldnt have been that unexpected. Carter won the title at world indoors in March on her last throw. She also won at U.S. trials a month ago on her last throw.Just something they practice, her father said.She has more, too, Michael Carter proudly boasted. I said, `If you do what I ask you to, you can throw far. How far is up to you.Im numb right now.Michael Carter was a defensive lineman for the San Francisco 49ers on three Super Bowl-wwinning teams.dddddddddddd He said this doesnt compare with all those rings or even his own Olympic medal. Its way better.Growing up, Michelle Carter didnt know her dad threw the shot, only that he played football.In seventh grade, Carter expressed a desire to try the shot put. At first, dad was a little hesitant, thinking she was only trying to follow in his footsteps.She wasnt.He worked with her through a record-breaking high school career, and thought his coaching days were done once she went to the University of Texas. But he was asked to help out, so he drove from Dallas to Austin -- some 340 miles roundtrip -- every two weeks to offer some guidance.Carter has blossomed into one of the worlds top throwers. She set the American outdoor record of 20.24 meters (66 feet, 5 inches) in 2013 and broke the nations indoor mark with a throw of 20.21 (66-3 }) to capture her world title in March.When healthy, Adams has been almost unbeatable in the event. Shes a star in New Zealand, though she may only be the second-best known of her 17 brothers and sisters outside of her country. Her youngest brother, Steven, is a center for the Oklahoma City Thunder and famous for his distinctive mustache.Its been a tough road lately for Adams, whos had five surgeries over the last three seasons, including knee surgery this time a year ago that had her wondering whether she would be ready for the Olympics.She was, but couldnt bring home a third straight Olympic title.Its a very hard thing to do and come away with, she said. I want New Zealand to know I threw my heart out there.I gave it my best shot. This is the best I came up with today. Its a little bit disappointing. ' ' '
