NEW YORK -- Trying to make the post-season for the second straight year, the Baltimore Orioles acquired outfielder Michael Morse from the Seattle Mariners on Friday to provide a right-handed boost to a lineup focused around lefty slugger Chris Davis. The Orioles sent outfield prospect Xavier Avery to Seattle in a waiver trade. The Orioles also had won a waiver claim on Minnesotas Josh Willingham, but the teams couldnt work out a deal before Fridays noon deadline. Morse was in Houston with the Mariners, and Baltimore expects him to arrive in New York on Saturday or Sunday -- the final two games of a weekend series against the Yankees. "Hes a professional hitter," manager Buck Showalter said. Morse provides flexibility in the field, where he can play the corner outfield spots and first base, should Davis need a day off. He will also serve as the designated hitter. The 31-year-old Morse offers another right-handed power bat to protect Davis, the major leagues top home run hitter with 47 long balls. Morse has hit .293 against left-handers in his nine-year career. "It seems like every left-hander that is alive and breathing is going to come out of the woodwork," Showalter said. "He can help us with some of that." A .284 career hitter, Morse slumped to a .226 average with 13 homers and 27 RBIs in 76 games in his return to Seattle after four years in Washington, where he set career highs with 31 homers and 95 RBIs in 2011. Morse missed about six weeks with a broken finger on his right hand this year. He has two homers and four RBIs in 76 at-bats since his return from the disabled list at the end of July. "Injuries were the biggest part of it," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said of Morses struggles. "He got off to a good start the first couple of weeks, then it was just injury after injury." Avery spent time at Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk this season. The left-hander hit a combined .259 with 70 runs scored and is 29 for 37 on stolen base attempts. He hit .223 with six steals in 32 games for the Orioles last season. Also, Orioles right-hander Jason Hammel, out with a flexor strain since July 29, is scheduled to make a rehab start for short-season Aberdeen on Tuesday. He should be activated on Sept. 7 or 8.

The NCAA announced its ruling Wednesday, saying Gurley accepted more than $3,000 in cash from individuals for autographed memorabilia over a two-year period. Gurley, who acknowledged his violation of NCAA rules, will sit out a total of four games -- or 30 percent of the season -- and must repay a portion of the money received to a charity of his choice. He also must complete 40 hours of community service. The junior has already missed games against Missouri and Arkansas, and will sit out Saturdays game against Florida as well as next weeks contest at Kentucky. His return will take place against Auburn in Georgias final SEC game of the season. Georgia, which leads the SEC East, will then play non-conference home games against Charleston Southern and Geeorgia Tech before a possible date in the SEC Championship Game.dddddddddddd. Gurley was a top Heisman Trophy candidate after five games this season, rushing for 773 yards with an average of 8.2 yards per carry and eight touchdowns. He also returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown and has 11 catches for 53 yards. Nick Chubb has filled in admirably during Gurleys absence. The freshman ran for 143 yards in a 34-0 win at Missouri, then churned out 202 yards in a 45-32 victory over Arkansas. Georgia began its case for reinstatement last week and will appeal the latest ruling, hoping for a reduced penalty. An oversight committee will review the appeal this week. The NCAA said a stronger penalty was considered because the violations occurred over multiple years and Gurley committed the infractions despite extensive rules education. However, the schools due diligence and Gurleys full disclosure were factors in the NCAAs decision. ' ' '
