Chicago Cubs: Sammy Sosa sat out Sunday with a sore right quadriceps muscle and won't play again Monday, his third straight game out of action because of a quadriceps injury.

Cubs manager Dusty Baker emphasized the injury isn't serious, but could be if Sosa pulled the quadriceps. Sosa insisted he will miss only a couple more days. The Cubs play split-squad games today against Colorado in Tucson, Ariz., and Milwaukee in Mesa.

"He might have been training too hard," Baker said Sunday. "Hopefully, he plays (Tuesday). You don't want him to end up pulling the quad. I pulled both of mine and have a divot in both legs."

Meanwhile, The Associated Press reported Monday that Sosa is suing the Illinois Department of Revenue over a $45,000 tax bill from 1998, saying he already paid taxes on the income in California and other states.

Sosa paid the amount demanded by Illinois -- $38,169 in taxes plus $8,814 in interest -- but sued the state in May. Illinois denied the credits he took for taxes paid in other states.

Anaheim Angels: Left-hander Jarrod Washburn, who led the Angels in victories last year, hurt his left shoulder trying to avoid a collision during fielding practice Monday in Tempe, Ariz., and expects to be sidelined for up to 10 days.

Washburn, 18-6 with a 3.15 ERA last season for the World Series champion Angels, was covering first base when he fell as he tried to avoid running into with reliever Brendan Donnelly.

Washburn's injury was diagnosed as a mild sprain of his shoulder, and X-rays were negative.

"I tried to avoid the collision, but my feet got tangled up and I fell and landed on my shoulder,'' the 28-year-old left-hander said. "It was nobody's fault. It was a freak thing.

"There were no sharp pains or anything, but I could tell that something was wrong. The pain has gotten a lot worse since. They figure I'll be out like a week to 10 days. I'll be ready for Opening Day.''

Manager Mike Scioscia wasn't particularly worried.

"As of right now, it looks like nothing to be concerned about. He should shake it off and be ready to go in a couple of days,'' Scioscia said.

Lackey picks up where he left off: John Lackey, who won Game 7 of the World Series last October, gave up one run in two innings of his spring debut Monday in the Angels' 3-2 loss to a Milwaukee split squad.

"My arm felt good,'' Lackey said. "My body felt good. My location wasn't good.''

Glendon Rusch, 10-16 in a career-high 34 starts last season, pitched two scoreless innings in his spring debut for Milwaukee. He started and allowed two hits.

Ramon Ortiz allowed three hits in two innings in his first start of the spring. He gave way to Lackey.

Angels' manager Mike Scioscia was happy with the outings of his two starters.

Oakland Athletics: Reigning Cy Young winners Randy Johnson and Barry Zito faced each other for the first time Monday and both pitched well in the Athletics' 6-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Johnson pitched three shutout innings, giving up two hits and striking out three.

"I felt like I had more control today and was in more of a groove,'' said the Arizona ace, coming off his fifth Cy Young Award. "My mechanics were better and I saw progress with my pitches.''

Zito allowed a run on three hits with no walks and two strikeouts in four innings.

"My fastball command could have been a little better but mostly it was OK,'' he said.

New York Yankees: Japanese slugger Hideki Matsui hit his second homer of the spring, a three-run shot for the New York Yankees in Monday's 9-8 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays.

Matsui went 3-for-3. He is 5-for-9 with two homers and five RBI in three spring training games.

"I didn't expect to start this way,'' Matsui said through an interpreter. "I feel a little more comfortable. When good results come out, that makes me feel better.''

The Yankees signed the outfielder to a $21 million, three-year free-agent contract during the offseason.

"I've been very impressed with what I've seen,'' Yankees manager Joe Torre said."He has a short swing. Once I saw that short swing in batting practice, that was a positive sign to me to making the transition easier.''

Officials from the Yomiuri Giants attended the game. The Japanese team has a working agreement in a number of areas, including scouting, with the Yankees. It's also Matsui's former team.

Kansas City Royals: Outfielder Mark Quinn re-injured his hamstring in the Royals' 8-7 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Monday.

Royals second baseman Carlos Febles and prospect David DeJesus also left the game with injuries.

Quinn, limited to 23 games last year because of injuries, and second baseman Febles left in the first inning with injuries.

Quinn went on the disabled list last June 8 with a left hamstring injury and did not play the rest of the season. He hurt his hamstring while running to first base to end the first.

"We need to watch him closely and see how he's going to comeback,'' manager Tony Pena said. ``He has worked so hard to get in such great shape to go to Puerto Rico to play winter ball and felt something in his leg and was shut down.

"In spring training, he did everything we asked. This is tough luck. He's going to be fine, no question about it.''

Boston Red Sox: David Ortiz changed uniforms during the offseason, the former Twin signing with the Red Sox. But the uniform he had no resemblance to Minnesota's navy and gray or Boston's red, white, and blue.

Ortiz, who was a favorite target of practical jokes by manager Ron Gardenhire and teammates while with the Twins, showed up in their clubhouse wearing an orange Lee County Jail jumpsuit after he finished his half of Sunday's game in Fort Myers, Fla.

Somebody had taken Ortiz's street clothes from his stall in the visitor's clubhouse and replaced them with the jail suit. Ortiz went 2-for-2 with two doubles and a walk in Boston's 6-5 loss to Minnesota.

Toronto Blue Jays: Josh Phelps, who's expected to fill the majority of DH at-bats this season, has been absent the first two games this spring because of what manager Carlos Tosca described as a knee problem.

"He has got a little something going on in his knee and we're trying to find the right program to get him on so he's able to go and get himself ready for the 31st (Opening Day)," Tosca said. "It's nothing serious."

Tosca said the injury "came as the result of the surgery (Phelps) had."

Phelps had a pair of knee surgeries two winters ago. The first time the surgeons missed a tear and had to go back in. He began last season at Triple-A Syracuse but joined the major-league team for good in July where he hit .309 with 15 homers and 58 RBI in just 74 games.

Cincinnati Reds: Right-handed pitcher Paul Wilson is expected to miss seven to 10 days with a strained rib cage muscle in his left side. He was hurt during an intrasquad scrimmage Wednesday.

The Reds signed Wilson as a free agent during the offseason. He was 6-12 last year with a 4.83 ERA for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

Anderson off to great start: Jimmy Anderson was impressive Monday in his quest for the fifth spot in the Reds' pitching rotation.

Anderson, a non-roster invitee, pitched four scoreless innings in a 7-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies, whose lineup included Jim Thome, Pat Burrell and David Bell.

"Anderson is biting into what we are emphasizing with him -- smoothing out the hesitation in his windup and throwing his sinker over the plate and keeping it down to get ground balls,'' pitching coach Don Gullett said. "He was outstanding today and most of his outs were ground balls.''

Austin Kearns hit a three-run homer for the Reds, his first homer of spring training.

Reds first baseman Sean Casey and third baseman Brandon Larson were scheduled to play but were late scratches.

San Francisco Giants: Pedro Feliz finally arrived at San Francisco Giants' camp Monday after being delayed in the Dominican Republic because of an age discrepancy that makes him two years older than he previously stated.

Feliz was greeted with a bunch of balloons in his locker for a mock birthday celebration -- even though his doesn't come until April. He quickly switched them to Deivis Santos' locker, who remains in the Dominican Republic with visa problems.

Outfielder Ruben Rivera is still in Panama, and also having difficulty.

"I knew about the balloons before I got here,'' said Feliz, who spent the last two years as a reserve infielder for the Giants. "I didn't have a problem with them. I knew they would do something. I thought it was pretty funny.''

Feliz's visa problems were a result of a doctored birth certificate, which gave his birth date as April 25, 1977. He was actually born in 1975.

"It happened before I signed,'' said Feliz, who signed as a non-drafted free agent in 1994. "Somebody did it for me, but I consented to it.''

Thomas stars in ChiSox's win over Giants: Frank Thomas doubled twice, drove in two runs and scored once Monday as the Chicago White Sox beat the San Francisco Giants 3-1.

Thomas finished the day 2-for-3, his second multihit effort in three games.

"Any time we see him hit the ball the other way, that's a good sign,'' White Sox manager Jerry Manuel said. "He's working real hard. I think he's out to prove some people wrong.''

Jon Garland gave up one run and six hits in three innings, and Neal Cotts worked one inning of relief to get the win. Tom Gordon pitched a perfect ninth -- striking out one -- to get his first save of the spring.

Felix Rodriguez took the loss for the Giants, allowing two runs and three hits in two-thirds of an inning.

Boston Red Sox: Manny Ramirez homered and Adrian Brown hit a tiebreaking RBI triple in the top of the eighth inning Monday night to lead the Red Sox to a 6-4 win over the Minnesota Twins.

Derek Lowe made his second start of the spring for the Red Sox, and other than the two-run homer he served up to Torii Hunter in the first inning, he was satisfied.

"That's the downfall of being a finesse pitcher. You leave a ball up at 88 miles-per-hour or whatever it is you're in trouble,'' Lowe said. "The second inning I felt better. I didn't really care about results but it felt like I had a better tempo and that's all I really look for, is a good tempo.''

Brown, who was released by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the offseason, was acquired by Boston in the major league draft. He later scored on a wild pitch to add some insurance.

Kyle Lohse started the game for the Twins and threw a perfect first inning before giving up a solo home run to Ramirez to lead off the second.

Detroit Tigers: Alan Trammell didn't celebrate his first win with a cigar and champagne.

After the Detroit Tigers beat a Boston Red Sox split squad 5-4 Monday, the first-year manager and former star shortstop was back on the field helping Ramon Santiago and Omar Infante as they did extra infield work.

"It always feels good to win, but to be honest, I don't feel any different that I did after the other games,'' said Trammell, whose team lost its first three games. "We're preparing for the season, that's the bottom line. But I'm happy. I want to win every game.''

Trammell treated the exhibition like a real game when he pulled reliever Oscar Henriquez after he faced just four Red Sox in the eighth. Henriquez gave up a double, walked a batter, hit another and got only one out.

"I wasn't happy with Oscar walking the first guy,'' Trammell said. "I'll make some moves. I wasn't very happy. He was done as soon as I walked out there. If we have to send messages. ...''

Colorado Rockies: Aaron Cook and Shawn Chacon, both candidates to make the Colorado rotation, pitched shutout ball as the Rockies beat a Chicago Cubs' split squad 7-1 Monday.

Cook, projected to be the Rockies' No. 4 starter after starting five games following a late-season callup last year, allowed one hit and one walk in a two inning start.

"I didn't have my fastball going today,'' Cook said, "but my changeup was working. I don't know where that came from. I've been working on it all spring, and I had a good feel for it in the bullpen. When I got in trouble in the game, I just went straight for it.

"For me to throw about nine changeups in two innings is a big difference for me.''

Chacon, expected to battle Scott Elarton and Darren Oliver for the No. 5 spot, followed Cook and held the Cubs hitless in three innings while walking one and striking out three.

San Diego Padres: The Padres' first save of spring training went to the same pitcher who had their last save in 2002.

Brandon Villafuerte closed out the Padres' 7-6 victory over the Texas Rangers.

With closer Trevor Hoffman out at least several months following shoulder surgery last week, the Padres are evaluating their relievers as possible closers. Villafuerte was the first to pitch in a save situation.

He inherited the 7-6 lead in the ninth and managed to close it out despite letting the potential tying run reach scoring position.

Chad Krueter led off with a walk, and Mark Teixeira followed with a grounder to first base. Shortstop Donaldo Mendez mishandled the throw at second, but Krueter was out trying to advance to third as Teixeira reached first. Laynce Nix singled, moving Teixeira to second.

Los Angeles Dodgers: Hideo Nomo gave up his first run of the spring, and the Dodgers went on to beat the Florida Marlins 6-4 Monday.

Nomo pitched three innings in his second appearance of the exhibition season, allowing four hits in three innings.

"It's always been the same. I just want to continue to throw strikes, keep my pitches low,'' Nomo said.

Mike Lowell's solo homer off Eric Gagne in the fifth gave Florida a 3-1 lead.

The Dodgers scored two runs in the bottom of the inning to tie, and took a 6-3 lead in the sixth on Ron Coomer's two-run homer.

Florida's Carl Pavano gave up one run in two innings in his spring debut, while Braden Looper pitched a scoreless inning of relief.
