NEW YORK -- Safe to say no major league pitcher will try to emulate Laurie Hernandezs acrobatic windup anytime soon.The Olympic champion gymnast from New Jersey flipped out, so to speak, while throwing the first ball Saturday night at Citi Field before the New York Mets hosted Washington.Standing in front of the mound and wearing a No. 16 Mets jersey with her name on the back, Hernandez received a warm ovation from the crowd. She took off her gold medal and draped it around her sisters neck, then took a couple of steps forward and -- with a baseball in her hand -- performed an aerial cartwheel.Back on her feet, the smiling Hernandez then kicked her front leg and bounced a one-hop toss to Mets catcher Rene Rivera that went wide of home plate.Set to appear on the hit television show Dancing With The Stars this season, Hernandez posed for pictures during batting practice and showed off her gold medal.Its really heavy, she said.Hernandez said her favorite Mets player is star pitcher Noah Syndergaard, who at 6-foot-6 stands more than a foot and a half taller than the diminutive gymnast. She said she practiced throwing her first pitch a little bit earlier in the day, but acknowledged she was kind of scared.Hernandez won an Olympic gold medal with the United States squad as part of the team competition at the Rio Games last month. She also earned an individual silver medal on the balance beam. Joe Flacco Jersey . Denis Coderre, the former federal MP who was elected mayor on Nov. 3, has drawn the ire of some Montreal Canadiens.

CHICAGO -- Detroit Tigers right-hander Jordan Zimmermann has been activated from the disabled list and is scheduled to start Saturday against the Baltimore Orioles.Zimmermann left Washington as a free agent and signed a $110 million, five-year deal with the Tigers during the offseason. He was 5-0 with a 0.55 ERA after five April starts but has struggled since and gone on the DL twice because of neck pain.Zimmermann gave up two home runs in a rehab start for Triple-A Toledo on Monday, throwing 80 pitches.Im pain free, Zimmermann said Tuesday. I feel great and the ball is coming out good. I have pretty good command of the off-speed pitches, so its way, way better than when I was rehabbing the first time and tried coming back. I feel as strong or if not stronger than I did in April. Im excited to get back out there.He said he threw his fastball from 90-93 mph, attributing a drop in velocity to the neck strain earlier this year.Zimmermann, 9-5 with a 4.44 ERA in 16 starts, allowed ssix runs and six hits while getting five outs in his last start with Detroit on Aug.dddddddddddd 4.

When I was rehabbing the first time I was 90-91 and couldnt locate. Thats a recipe for disaster. If I can locate, I have enough off-speed pitches to get these guys off-balance and I should be fine.Manager Brad Ausmus said right-hander Michael Fulmer will start against Baltimore on Friday and ace Justin Verlander on Sunday at Comerica Park.Detroit won 11 of 14 entering Tuesday, moving into a tie with the Orioles for the second AL wild card.Were playing good ball right now, Zimmerman said.
