Trembley keeps duties

Baltimore – Dave Trembley will get at least another month to prove he’s the right man to manage the Baltimore Orioles.

Andy MacPhail, who took over as president of baseball operations last week, said Wednesday that he wouldn’t resume interviewing candidates for the managerial job “until at least the trading deadline,” which is July 31.

Trembley was made the interim manager on June 18 after the Orioles fired Sam Perlozzo. Before the end of the week the manager’s job was offered to Joe Girardi, who turned it down.

Schilling still ailing

Seattle – Curt Schilling is out through at least the All-Star break because of a sore right shoulder, and he still doesn’t know when he can begin throwing again.

“He can throw now, but I think they want him to reach certain levels with the testing,” Boston manager Terry Francona said.

Randolph out of AS Game
