Frenchman has already lined up in four different positio

ATLANTA -- Braves second baseman Dan Uggla said he finally realized he could not wait any longer to have Lasik eye surgery and was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday. Uggla, hitting only .186 with a National League-leading 146 strikeouts, has battled eye problems throughout the season and has experimented with contact lenses. Uggla said the eye surgery "was a mutual decision." "Obviously, I dont want to go on the DL whatsoever, but at the same time weve got to do whats best for the team right now," he said. "Ive been struggling pretty bad and battling with the contacts and grinding with these things day in and day out. I think the best thing to do it go ahead and so it now." Until Tuesday, Ugglas goal had been to postpone the procedure until the off-season. "They approached me with it today and as much as I wanted to argue and be like You cant do this, at the same time theres got to be production out there on that field and I havent been doing it," Uggla said. "So its tough for me to make an argument when I want to do whats right for this team." Uggla said he expects to have the procedure as soon as possible and miss only two weeks. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said Uggla will have time to adjust before the post-season. The Braves lead the NL East by 14 games. "When this procedure works, and I do say when because of the success rate, we may see a guy who all of a sudden is a new player," Gonzalez said. "So thats encouraging for me." Tyler Pastornicky was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett and will start at second base in Tuesday nights game against the Phillies. Gonzalez said veteran utility infielder Paul Janish may be used as a late-inning defensive replacement for Pastornicky. Uggla hit .250 in June and has been below .200 every other month this season. His struggles got worse in August, when he had only two hits in 37 at-bats (.054). Despite the low batting average, Uggla ranks second on the team with 21 homers, good for sixth in the National League, and third with 53 RBIs. He ranks fourth in the NL with 62 walks. Braves catcher Brian McCann has gone through similar vision problems. He had his first Lasik surgery in 2007 and had another procedure he called an "enhancement" in 2010. McCann also tried contacts before finally opting for the surgery. McCann, who is Ugglas clubhouse neighbour, said the second baseman "exhausted every avenue" with contacts and different eye drops. "I think this is the best thing for him," McCann said. "I think its going to work." Emmitt Smith Jersey . JOHNS, N.

Venable, the son of former big leaguer Max Venable, will make $4.Guillem Balague looks at how Jorge Sampaoli and Samir Nasri are transforming Sevilla ahead of Sundays clash with Barcelona live on Sky Sports. Sevilla have been one of the stories of the season in La Liga. They sit three points off the top of the table having only lost one of their first 10 games, and on Sunday they can jump above second-placed Barcelona if they beat Luis Enriques men at the Sanchez Pizjuan stadium. Sevilla vs Barcelona November 6, 2016, 7:30pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass They can approach the game with confidence. Sevilla lost their three-time Europa League-winning manager Unai Emery to Paris Saint-Germain in the summer, but their strong start under Jorge Sampaoli has fuelled talk that they are dark horses in the title race. So whats changed? Well, 11 new signings have certainly helped, and Sampaolis high-intensity, attacking playing style has also proved a good fit for a side who already played aggressively under Emery. The big difference, however, is that Sampaoli wants them to dominate the ball, too. Sevilla are playing possess-based football under Jorge Sampaoli The stats show its working. Their numbers for possession, short passes per game and passing accuracy have risen sharply from last season. In fact, Barcelona are the only team in La Liga to have averaged more possession.The key for us is to build our own identity, said Sampaoli earlier this season. We cannot play scared, so we must seek to dominate the game and think about our rivals goal.Sampaoli encourages his players to be brave with the ball, and its having a positive effect. Sevilla are playing slick, passing football, and on-loan Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri has been at the heart of it. Sevillas Samir Nasri in action during their 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid Nasri is performing and showing how good he is, said Sampaoli last month.dddddddddddd He is a player at the height of his game, and he is getting us through matches.With his sharp passing, positional flexibility and clever movement, Nasri typifies what Sampaoli wants from his players. The former Chile manager is also changing things up in a tactical sense. Incredibly, Sevilla have used eight different formations in just 10 La Liga games this season. That level of tactical flexibility is unrivalled in the division, and their unpredictability makes them difficult to defend against. According to Opta, Sevilla have used more formations than any other La Liga side The likes of Steven NZonzi, Vitolo and Franco Vazquez have impressed, but Nasri is perhaps the most important player when it comes to making the system work. From defensive midfield to left wing, the Frenchman has already lined up in four different positions this season, and he has excelled in every one. The bad news for Sevilla is that Nasri is a doubt for the Barcelona game after sustaining a hamstring injury last week. His absence would be a big blow, and the stats show why. Nasris intelligent distribution is vital for Sevillas possession-game - his passing accuracy is the highest at the club - and his dribbling ability is important when it comes to keeping the ball in tight spaces. The numbers behind Samir Nasris impressive start to the season Hes a goal threat, too. Nasri scored his first goal for Sevilla against Athletic Bilbao, and he added to his tally against Leganes. There was also an important strike against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League.Without Nasri, Sampaoli and his trusty assistant Juanma Lillo would have to find new solutions. Barcelona will provide a big test of their credentials, but Sevilla have shown it would be foolish to write them off. Also See: Barca play down Suarez-Utd link Ballon dOr nominees on Sky ' ' '
