TEMPE, Ariz. Pearl Washington Jersey Signed . - More news surrounding the turbulent quarterback predicament of the Arizona Cardinals.Ryan Lindley is back as the starter, and Drew Stanton has been treated for an infection in his sprained right knee, a setback in his attempt to return for the playoffs.Coach Bruce Arians initially said rookie Logan Thomas would start in Sundays regular-season finale at San Francisco. But he said Friday he changed his mind based on Thomas performances in practice.I was hoping that he (Thomas) was going to be able to handle it, Arians said, but its not the time right now.Stanton, who has missed the last two games, experienced swelling in his knee on Wednesday. Arthroscopic surgery was performed Wednesday night to flush out the knee and treat it with antibiotics.Arians wouldnt talk about the infection, but said Stanton remains on schedule for next week.Hes at home and will stay there and rehab over the weekend and be ready to go next week, hopefully, Arians said.Thomas, a fourth-round draft pick from Virginia Tech, would have been Arizonas fourth starting quarterback of the season. Arians had said the rookie would have a very short hook, and that turned out to be true. He was removed from the starting job after one practice.The ball wasnt in spots it needed to be, Arians said. He was throwing it well, but not to the right guys. He just hasnt had enough reps to be able to go against this defence, which is one of the best five defences in the National Football League. It was probably a poor decision on my part to early announce it. ... Well do what we need to do to win the football game and thats to start Ryan.Arizona (11-4) still has an outside chance to win the NFC West, but St. Louis would have to beat the Seahawks in Seattle while the Cardinals win at San Francisco.Oddsmakers expect neither to occur. The Rams are 12 1/2-point underdogs in Seattle, the 49ers a 6 1/2-point pick over Arizona.The most likely outcome would have the Cardinals the No. 5 seed with a first-round playoff game at either Carolina or Atlanta.Lindley, signed off the San Diego practice squad after Carson Palmer went down with a season-ending knee injury, started last Sunday night at Seattle and was unimpressive. The third-year quarterback from San Diego State completing 18 of 44 passes for 216 yards in the Cardinals 35-6 loss.For the second straight game, Arizona didnt score a touchdown. Lindley has the dubious NFL record of most passes without a touchdown (225).Arians said the offences woes were not all Lindleys fault, citing dropped passes and penalties. Lindley, the coach said, did not go out and lose the ballgame.A running game would certainly help.After rushing for a combined 175 yards the previous two games, Kerwynn Williams gained 4 yards in two carries against Seattle. Arians said he expects the slashing running back to see more action against the 49ers.That was kind of rough, Williams said. But I expect us to be better this week and try to get back on track.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Trey Johnson Jersey Signed .

He even addressed his group of relievers Sunday morning. Dustin McGowan made those worries a nonfactor, at least for a day. McGowan pitched three-hit ball for seven innings, Colby Rasmus hit a grand slam and Melky Cabrera added a two-run homer as the Blue Jays beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-2. "We had to have that one," Gibbons said. McGowan (2-1) allowed one run, striking out five and throwing 101 pitches. It was the second consecutive quality start for McGowan, a diabetic who started wearing an insulin pump on the mound in his last start. "My blood sugar still gets erratic sometimes," he said. "But thats part of the game for me. With the adrenaline going and everything, it does what it wants to do. I cant control it sometimes." McGowan eclipsed the 100-pitch mark for the first time since June 27, 2008. "Thats two outings wearing that pump," Gibbons said. "Maybe theres something to that." It was just the fourth win in 13 games for Toronto, which prevented the Pirates from completing their first series sweep of the season. Pirates manager Clint Hurdle and first base coach Rick Sofield were ejected by plate umpire Greg Gibson at the end of the fourth inning for arguing a called third strike on Jordy Mercer. The strikeout stranded two runners and ended the inning. "I think it was pretty apparent that the low strike wasnt going to come into play," Hurdle said. "But the fact of the matter was it got to a point where I felt a pitch that hadnt been called a strike all day got called a strike in, for me, a very pivotal at-bat for us." Rasmus connected in the second inning for his fourth career slam. He also doubled and singled. The Blue Jays held on to this early lead. Toronto wasted a 5-3, ninth-inning edge in the series opener and a 5-0, fourth-inning advantage on Saturday night. Josh Harrison hit two triples for the Pirates. Edinson&nnbsp;Volquez (1-3) gave up six runs and seven hits in five innings. Matt Guokas Jersey Signed. . He also allowed six earned runs in his last outing April 21 against St. Louis. Volquez pitched himself into a jam in the second inning before Rasmus stepped to the plate, issuing walks to Edwin Encarnacion and Juan Francisco to start the inning. Brett Lawrie reached on an infield single to load the bases with no outs. Rasmus hit a full-count curveball about 10 rows deep in the right-field seats for his seventh home run of the season, giving the Blue Jays a 4-1 lead. Rasmus said he was not necessarily looking for an offspeed pitch in that situation. "I was just trying to be out over the plate and throw my hands at anything because hes got a good changeup, good curveball and a good two-seamer, and he already tried to thumb me a couple in," he said. "I was just trying to be ready to put something in play." The slam negated an early lead the Pirates built on Neil Walkers groundout, scoring Harrison after his triple. Harrison also tripled in the eighth and scored on Andrew McCutchens sacrifice fly. Torontos Jose Bautista walked in the fifth to reach base in his 31st consecutive game, the longest active streak in the majors. But he went hitless, snapping a career-best 13-game hitting streak. Cabrera had three hits, and extended Torontos lead to 6-1 with a two-run homer off Volquez in the fifth. Rasmus scored another run in the eighth on an RBI single by pinch-hitter Dioner Navarro. NOTES: Highly regarded Blue Jays RHP Marcus Stroman made his big league debut, allowing one earned run and one hit while getting two outs. The Blue Jays selected the 23-year-old Stroman Triple-A Buffalo and optioned OF Anthony Gose. ... The Pirates plan to recall LHP Jeff Locke to start against San Francisco on Monday night.
