TORONTO (AP) — The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired right winger Kris Versteeg from Stanley Cup champion Chicago in a five-player trade Wednesday, the Blackhawks' latest move in a series of salary-cap deals.

The deal follows Chicago moves that sent playoff star Dustin Byfuglien, Brent Sopel and Ben Eager to Atlanta and Colin Fraser to Edmonton.

The Maple Leafs gave up forwards Viktor Stalberg, Chris DiDomenico and Philippe Paradis.

Nets plan to push hard for James

This summer's biggest show in sports comes from a league that won't play for months.

It's called "LeBron James: Free Agent."

BOSTON (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays ended a rough month of June with an encouraging win.

Matt Garza allowed six hits in seven innings and the Rays continued their climb out of a hitting slump to beat Boston 9-4 Wednesday night, ending the Red Sox's seven-game home winning streak.

Tampa Bay began June with a 2½-game lead in the AL East and ended it two games behind the New York Yankees and one behind second-place Boston.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — If it's true that the most effective Jose Guillen is an angry Jose Guillen, some fans who were sitting behind the visitor's dugout Wednesday night should probably be given free season tickets to the Royals.

The moody outfielder hit a three-run homer, then made a great, crash-into-the-wall catch in the ninth inning, leading Kansas City to a 7-6 victory over the Chicago White Sox.

As he crossed the plate following his homer off Tony Pena in the seventh, Guillen appeared to shout something in the direction of the visitor's dugout.

"Somebody was bugging me a little bit," Guillen said.

KANSAS CITY (AP) — White Sox closer Bobby Jenks will come off the bereavement list on Friday to join the club in Texas.

He was placed on the list Sunday to care for his wife.

NEW YORK (AP) — Felix Hernandez threw a wild pitch and handcuffed his catcher for a passed ball in the first inning.

With all that movement, he knew things would be all right.

Wow, were they.

ATLANTA (AP) — Jair Jurrjens was anxious after spending "the worst two months in my life" on the disabled list with a hamstring injury.

A successful return calmed his nerves and boosted Atlanta's hopes in the NL East.

Jurrjens gave up one run and had a run-scoring single, and the first-place Braves beat the Washington Nationals 4-1 on Wednesday night.

Jurrjens (1-3) gave up six hits and one run in five innings in his first major league start since injuring his left hamstring on April 29.
