St. Louis Cardinals center fielder Jim Edmonds was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome yesterday, one day after leaving a game because of dizziness and blurred vision.

Edmonds had an MRI Tuesday that showed normal brain function, then had a battery of tests yesterday to rule out other possibilities such as diabetes, nutrition deficiencies or an infection.

Edmonds sustained what was described as a slight concussion June 21 when he crashed into the wall in Chicago trying to rob White Sox third baseman Joe Crede of a home run.

Braves

Center fielder Andruw Jones was scratched from the Atlanta lineup against the Washington Nationals for the second consecutive game because of patellar tendinitis in his left knee.

Yankees

No tears were shed for the historic stadium where Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio played out their storied careers. Politicians and baseball officials who gathered to break ground on a new Yankee Stadium shared memories of the old ballpark but said the new one would be even better.

Mets

Pedro Martinez was placed on the 15-day DL with a minor strain in his right calf, a move manager Willie Randolph called a "precaution." Martinez was examined in New York Tuesday, one day after the injury forced him out of his start against Philadelphia following the worst first inning of his career.

Marlins

Florida right fielder Cody Ross was helped from the field in the fourth inning yesterday after his right knee was injured in a collision with second baseman Dan Uggla. The Marlins said X-rays were negative and that Ross sustained a bruised right knee.

Texas outfielder Brad Wilkerson is scheduled to have season-ending surgery on his right shoulder next week.
