Sardar Singh is set to be picked for the Rio Olympics but there is a likelihood of the captains armband being handed to goalkeeper PR Sreejesh when Indias hockey squad is announced on Tuesday.ESPN understands that notable absentees from the 16-member mens squad will be the injured trio of defenders Birendra Lakra and Jasjit Singh Kular, and forward Dharamvir Singh. Strikers Talwinder Singh and Mandeep Singh are also likely to miss out, even though both made a good impression in Indias best-ever showing at the Champions Trophy in June, where they lost the final to Australia in a shootout.Harmanpreet Singh, who was given the best young player of the Champions Trophy award in London, and Surender Kumar are set to be rewarded for their consistent performances in recent months.The selection committee spent the maximum time deliberating on Sardar, with a section pushing for the experienced midfielder to be accommodated in the squad as a forward. However, it is learnt that he will form part of the midfield alongside Manpreet Singh, Devinder Walmiki and Chinglansana Singh.The other player whose selection is believed to have stirred a long discussion is striker Ramandeep Singh, who was not a part of the Champions Trophy squad.The squad will have only one specialist goalkeeper in Sreejesh though competition rules will allow India to carry two reserves who can replace any of the players in case of an injury.Former India goalkeeper Ashish Ballal said replacing Sardar with Sreejesh as captain could be a prudent decision, if that is indeed the case. Sardar has been distracted by too many things happening off the field, which has affected his rapport with the players, said Ballal. Sreejesh did well at the Champions Trophy, and it could be a welcome step to have him lead the team. That being said, Sardar is a world-class player and he cant be compared with anybody else in terms of his contribution to the team.Ballal said the decision not to pick Lakra -- who had just returned for the six-nations invitational event in Valencia in end-June after missing four months due to injury -could help prolong his career. Birendra is only about 70% in terms of his movement and agility, said Ballal. It helps that he has competitors for his place in defence who have been doing well. He has put so much load on his leg in the last one year, that a period of rest will allow him to continue for at least another four years.Likely squad: PR Sreejesh, Surender Kumar, Harmanpreet Singh, VR Raghunath, Rupinderpal Singh, Kothajit Singh, SK Uthappa, Manpreet Singh, Devinder Walmiki, Chinglansana Singh, Sardar Singh, SV Sunil, Akashdeep Singh, Danish Mujtaba, Nikkin Thimmaiah and Ramandeep Singh.

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Baltimore Orioles find themselves in a precarious position as they come to the Rays for a three-game series, three games back of the division lead and tied with Detroit for the American Leagues second wild card, so if it wasnt obvious, every win counts from here out.Win games. Its real simple, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said after a 5-2 loss to the Yankees on Sunday. We have to win games regardless of how we get there. I dont care how it looks or how it happens. We need to have more runs than them after nine innings, or 10 or 11 or 12 and so on. Its a pretty simple equation right now.Baltimore (74-62) faces the Rays (58-77) seven times in their next 13 games, so Tampa Bay can again play a major spoiler role, as they did this weekend in taking two of three games from division-leading Toronto.Tough one today. Came up a little short obviously, said Rays manager Kevin Cash after a 5-3 loss to Toronto, missing out on a potential sweep. There were probably a couple more opportunities we didnt get.Mondays opener -- a Labor Day 1:10 p.m. first pitch -- pits Baltimore RHP Ubaldo Jimenez (5-11, 6.46 ERA) against Rays RHP Matt Andriese (6-6, 4.19 ERA).Andriese opened the year 6-0 but has struggled since rejoining the rotation after the trade deadline -- the Rays are committed to keeping him in what is now a six-maan rotation, but hes 0-6 with a 5.dddddddddddd47 ERA in his last 14 appearances, including seven starts.In his last start, he reset career highs for runs (7) and hits (10) allowed, including seven extra-base hits in a loss to Boston. For his career against the Orioles, hes 0-2 with a 7.04 ERA.Whats worse, Jimenez has a strong history against the Rays, with a 2.87 ERA and 4-2 career record, striking out 36 batters in 37.2 innings. In his only outing against Tampa Bay this year, he took a tough-luck loss in a 3-1 loss in April.The Rays are relegated to spoiler status in a division they long since stopped being competitive in. Baltimore is in a different mode, struggling to stay close enough to take advantage of remaining head-to-head series against the Blue Jays and Red Sox.Whether were playing here or in Tampa or in Detroit or in Boston, were always playing people, Showalter said of the target on his teams back. Theres never a time theyre not engaged. Tampa is in a spot, you can see how theyre playing right now. Detroits right there and of course Bostons there. Thats why you do all the things that we do to be a part of this. Enjoy the competition and enjoy the fruits of the players labor to get this chance. ' ' '
