LOS ANGELES -- Greg Maddux is back in Los Angeles for another stretch drive.

The Dodgers announced Tuesday that they have reacquired Maddux and cash considerations from San Diego. The Padres will receive two minor league players to be named or cash considerations.

The 42-year-old Maddux first came to the Dodgers late in the 2006 season, when he went 6-3 with a 3.30 ERA in 12 starts to help them win a wild-card berth.

This time, Los Angeles is dueling Arizona for the NL West lead.

BASEBALL: No immediate surgery for Kinsler

ARLINGTON -- Texas Rangers second baseman Ian Kinsler might avoid season-ending surgery for a sports hernia after receiving an encouraging diagnosis from a specialist Tuesday.

Kinsler was examined by Dr. John Preskitt at Baylor Medical Center in Dallas. Kinsler said the doctor told him there was probably no torn muscle in the left side of his groin area.

Kinsler was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Monday and will be examined again in a week. If he shows progress, there's a chance he could return to the lineup at the end of his DL stint.

Kinsler leads the majors in runs (102) and paces Texas in batting average (.319), doubles (41) and stolen bases (26).

Manning didn't wear pads and didn't warm up with his teammates before the practice session.

"As to when I'll be back on the practice field, that's still to be determined," Manning said. "Obviously, the sooner, the better for me. My goal is to be back for the first game."
