CHICAGO -- Dan Ugglas future in Atlanta was in question Sunday after the Braves suspended the struggling second baseman for their final game before the All-Star break. The team announced the suspension on its Twitter feed, with no further explanation. Manager Fredi Gonzalez also declined to elaborate when asked about the punishment before the Braves game against the Chicago Cubs. "Im not going to say anything other than that its an internal matter," he said. "Thats the way I like to handle stuff, and the Atlanta Braves like to handle stuff. And thats it. You can ask me 400 different ways and my way is that were going to handle it internally." The 34-year-old Uggla has played sparingly since rookie Tommy La Stella was promoted from Triple-A Gwinnett on May 28. The three-time All-Star is batting .162 with two homers and 10 RBIs in 48 games. The Braves acquired Uggla in a November 2010 trade with the Marlins, and then signed the three-time All-Star to a $62 million, five-year contract before his first game with Atlanta. He is slated to make $13 million next year in his final season under the deal. Uggla had a 33-game hitting streak and connected for 36 homers in his first season with the Braves, but most of his numbers have been trending down over the past couple of years. He hit just .179 with 22 homers and 171 strikeouts in 2013, when Atlanta won the NL East and lost to the Dodgers in the division series. Gonzalez said he expects Uggla to be with the team when it begins the second half at home against the Phillies on Friday. He also isnt worried about the effect of the suspension on his team. "I dont think so. I got a pretty good pulse of our clubhouse," he said. "If anybody wants to talk to me, my door is always open. And they know that." Atlanta also promoted infielder Phil Gosselin from Triple-A Gwinnett before its series finale against the Cubs. Gosselin hit .345 with five homers and 30 RBIs in 88 games with Gwinnett. "Hes had a terrific first half of the Triple-A season," Gonzalez said. Randy Bullock Jersey .

The 10-year deal the league and players agreed to that ended the 2011 lockout gave either side the right to opt out after six years. With the league projecting financial growth, there has been speculation that players will take that option in three years, especially since a new national TV contract will be in place by then.MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica - Canada fell short at the CONCACAF Under-17 Womens Championship final, losing 4-2 to Mexico on penalty kicks. After 90 scoreless minutes, Mexico converted its first three penalty shots to seal its first CONCACAF title at the U-17 level. Canada will now turn its attention to Costa Rica, where the FIFA U-17 Womens World Cup will take place in 2014. The Canadian team earned a berth in that tournament with a 5-0 win over Jamaica in the semifinals earlier this week. "Im really, really proud of the girls," said head coach Bev Priesttman.dddddddddddd "If you look at what this teams about, its about future national team players. I think, losing on penalties, its hard for the girls but ultimately, there have been some girls who stepped up in this tournament and are knocking on the door." Along with Canada and Mexico, Costa Rica, China, Japan, South Korea, Nigeria, Venezuela, Colombia and Paraguay have all qualified for the World Cup. Six spots are still to be determined, with two countries from Africa, one from Oceania and three from Europe still to be qualified.
