WASHINGTON -- It is July and so roster moves are common and attrition takes its toll on the pitching staffs of major league teams.That is certainly the case for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Washington Nationals, who continue their three-game series on Wednesday at Nationals Park.Bud Norris will make the start for the Dodgers, who had originally listed Hyun-Jin Ryu as the starter for the second game of the series.But the South Korean native went on the 15-day disabled list before Tuesdays game, retroactive to July 9, with elbow tendinitis.And there was more bad news Tuesday. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Clayton Kershaw, who is on the disabled list, suffered a setback and it is not certain when he will pitch again.After he threw that live session, the next day, Sunday, (he) didnt feel great, Roberts told reporters. I think at that point in time it let us know we had to be a little more on the cautious side. So right now with Clayton, I dont know if its a step back, but were going to let this back pain subside and see where we go. As far as his return -- uncertain.Norris is 2/3 in six career starts against the Nationals and has also made three outings out of the bullpen, with a 5.58 ERA.We have Bud going tomorrow, Roberts said Tuesday. We will try to win a ballgame.Washingtons Wilson Ramos, who was off Tuesday, is hitting .474 in 19 at-bats with one homer against Norris.Daniel Murphy is batting .333 with homers in 18 at-bats against Norris, who pitched earlier this season for the Atlanta Braves.Stephen Drew has one homer in 25 at-bats against Norris, with a .360 average. Jayson Werth is hitting .143 against Norris in 21 at-bats.The Nationals are slated to start veteran left-hander and former Oakland pitcher Gio Gonzalez, who had pitched better of late after a bad patch in June. He has a 1.73 ERA in four career starts against the Dodgers.Gonzalez will try to right the ship after rookie Reynaldo Lopez was hit hard in his big league debut on Tuesday against the Dodgers.The Nationals are without starter Joe Ross, who has been on the disabled list since July 3 with right shoulder inflammation. Ross did throw before Tuesdays game and could make a minor league rehab appearance later this week.He looked very good today. He threw 35 consecutive pitches today. He had good velocity, good slider. Barring setbacks, he may go out and pitch somewhere this weekend, Nationals manager Dusty Baker said Tuesday.Gonzalez last pitched July 10 in New York against the Mets and picked up the win in a 3-2 game.Chase Utley is hitting .150 in 20 at-bats against Gonzalez and Justin Turner is batting .154 in 13 trips to the plate against the Miami-area native.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Nijat Rahimov of Kazakhstan was a surprise gold medalist in weightlifting on Wednesday, but immediately faced questions over doping.Rahimov, who only returned from a doping ban last year, and the rest of Kazakhstans team had almost been excluded from the Rio Olympics entirely after repeated failures in retests of doping samples from the 2008 and 2012 Olympics. The country stands to lose five gold medals from those games.Kazakhstan was allowed to compete because those doping cases were not fully processed in time for the games, the International Weightlifting Federation has said.In a sport in crisis over doping, Rahimovs world record-breaking performance in the 77-kilogram class Wednesday is unlikely to silence the critics, not least bronze medalist Mohamed Mahmoud of Egypt, who said he found Rahimovs dramatic improvement since his ban suspicious.Rahimov was banned for two years in 2013 after failing a test while competing for Azerbaijan, another country with longstanding doping problems. Rahimov was one of 18 Azerbaijanis busted that year. Rahimov was born in Azerbaijan and recently moved to Kazakhstan to compete on its weightlifting team.Chinas Lyu Xiaojun had been the favorite to retain the gold he won in 2012 and began to celebrate prematurely after his final lift, stripping to the waist in front of the crowd. But Rahimov had other plans, audaciously moving up 12 kilograms for his next attempt at the clean and jerk to 214kg, breaking a 15-year-old world record.That gave him a total of 379kg from the two phases of the competition, level with Lyu but enough for Rahimov to take gold because he had weighed in lower.He celebrated by crouching into a pose of prayer before being tackled in a bearhug by his coach, while Lyu gave a wry smile for the cameras.Rahimov repeatedly dodged questions about his doping past after the win, crediting religion and a tough training schedule for his success.When normal people were asleep, we were training. When the snow was deep -- youu know how it is in Kazakhstan -- we went out for training at 11 or 12 (at night), he said.ddddddddddddHe added he had treated Kazakhstans possible ban from Rio Olympic weightlifting as a rumor and was not distracted from training.Bronze went to Egyptian Mohamed Mahmoud on 361. Mahmoud said the talk of drugs could not be avoided in light of Rahimovs win.Maybe after some doping controls, some things will change, Mahmoud said. While improvements like Rahimovs can be the result of good training and nutrition, Mahmoud said, in a very short time it cannot happen like that.Wednesdays doping controversy came as weightlifting already faced a storm of doping scandals.On Tuesday, Taiwanese gold medal contender Lin Tzu-Chi was withdrawn from competition hours before her event for what her team called abnormalities in a drug test, and the Polish weightlifting federations head has resigned after what he said were two more failed tests, one of a lifter who was due to compete in Rio.Earlier Wednesday, Chinas Xiang Yanmei took gold in the womens 69-kilogram class despite having taken a blow to the head when she dropped the bar halfway through the competition.Xiang briefly appeared dazed and admitted to some pain but was fully alert as she closed out Chinas fourth weightlifting gold of the Rio Olympics with 116kg in the snatch and 145 in the clean and jerk for a total of 261.I got hurt a little bit and I feel hurt when I nod my head, she said. I didnt think about it when lifting weights. Xiang said she had not seen a doctor.She added Olympic gold to the world titles she won in 2013 and 2015, and continued a resurgence for Chinas lifters in Rio following a slow start.The silver medal went to Kazakhstans Zhazira Zhapparkul with a 259 total, while Egypts Sara Ahmed won bronze with 255 kilos, becoming the first woman from an Arab country to win an Olympic weightlifting medal.
