MIAMI - Dwyane Wade was planning to go to All-Star weekend in New York anyway, already having lined up a number of off-court events.Whether he plays in the game, thats murky at best.Wade was one of the Eastern Conference All-Star reserve selections announced Thursday, along with Miami Heat teammate Chris Bosh. But Wades status for that game — and Heat contests leading up to the NBAs midseason showcase on Feb. 15 — is unclear because of his strained right hamstring, the latest of many Miami maladies this season.This much is certain: Wade wont play Friday when Miami hosts Dallas. The way he sounded, his return wont be soon.When you work as hard as me, to deal with the same thing, its kind of frustrating, said Wade, now an 11-time All-Star selection. But what are you to do?Wade was hurt in the third quarter of Miamis loss to Milwaukee on Tuesday. Hes had issues with both hamstrings this year, with two previous injuries costing him nine games. After sitting out Miamis practice on Thursday, Wade said he thinks this strain might make recovery harder.I just want to play with our whole team, said Bosh, who is an All-Star for the 10th time.His wish wont come true anytime soon.With Wade and Luol Deng (calf) already out for Friday at least, Miami will almost certainly use a 19th different starting lineup in 46 games. The Heat have had 10 different players miss time this year with illness or injury, and the total of man-games lost to such problems will climb to at least 106 on Friday night.I havent seen nothing this bizarre, Wade said. Obviously, teams have dealt with this, different players in and out. But here in Miami, I havent seen nothing this bizarre. Anytime that we get to the point that were feeling the least bit comfortable about our team and where were at and what we can do, something happens.Wade acknowledged the toll on his body added up during Miamis four straight trips to the NBA Finals, something that former Miami teammate LeBron James is dealing with now in Cleveland.Wade said some people might recover from such a strain in 2-3 weeks, but said hes taking things day by day.I was like Why can I get a bruised wrist or something? Why cant I fall on my wrist or elbow or something? Ill take that right now, Wade said. When it comes to the muscles, certain things, you cant play with. Theres other things when you get injured you can play with.This isnt one of them.When Wade finished talking to reporters Thursday, he offered a most ominous sign off.I wont be seeing yall for a little while, Wade said.NOTES: In a rare twist, the Heat are giving multiyear season-ticket holders, who are already locked into 2015-16, a reduction on their agreed-upon price for next season. Theyre offering another discount for 2016-17 if they choose to extend. The team is essentially giving some money back to people who have already bought long-term plans and did so with a promise that better days may be coming. Our plan is clearly defined ... put a team on the court that can compete now while positioning ourselves to pursue players that can help us add to our championship legacy, Heat business operations president Eric Woolworth wrote.

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The St. Louis Cardinals are pitching so well all they need right now to win is one run. Adam Wainwright became the NLs first nine-game winner, and the Cardinals beat Tampa Bay 1-0 on Tuesday night, the Rays third straight shutout loss. The Cardinals have three consecutive shutouts for the first time since April 2013. St. Louis, with 13 shutouts this season, was coming off 5-0 victories over Toronto on Saturday and Sunday. "Our starting pitching has been extremely good these last few, to say the least," St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. It is the Cardinals first stretch of three consecutive road shutouts since Sept. 29, 1962-April 10, 1963 when St. Louis had four in a row. "Pretty amazing," said St. Louis slugger Matt Holliday, who homered. Tampa Bay has been shut out an AL-leading 10 times this season. The Rays, who have lost 14 of 15, have not scored a run in a club-record 28 innings. "Its kind of weird to watch because it just doesnt stay that negative for that long normally," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "It just doesnt but it has. This is truly one of those anomaly moments where weve got to stick together as a group." Wainwright (9-3) scattered seven hits over seven innings. Trevor Rosenthal got the final four outs, including a base-loaded pop fly by Matt Joyce in the eighth, for his 17th save. Holliday put the Cardinals up 1-0 with his fourth homer this season, a long drive to left centre with two outs in the sixth off tough-luck loser Jake Odorizzi (2-7). Holliday and Kolten Wong both returned to the Cardinals lineup. Holliday was scratched Sunday due to a sore lower back, while Wong sat out three games with left shoulder soreness. Holliday said his back is still a little stiff. "Loosened up enough so I could get some good swings," he said. Odorizzi, a Cardinals fan who grew up about 30 miles from Busch Stadium, had a strong performancee in his first game against St.dddddddddddd. Louis. The right-hander gave up one run and three hits in a career-high 7 1-3 innings. "Today I felt I was really executing my pitches and nothing they could do was going to beat me," Odorizzi said. "One mistake by me and I got beat. It was the best outing Ive ever had in the big leagues." Odorizzi had allowed one baserunner, a fourth-inning walk to Holliday, before giving up consecutive two-out singles in the fifth to Jhonny Peralta and John Jay. The inning ended on a fly ball by Peter Bourjos. The Rays threatened in both the first and fourth innings. Ben Zobrist hit a fly ball with two on to end the first. Logan Forsythe lined out to second with the bases loaded and two outs in the fourth. "Its a tough lineup, it really is," Wainwright said. "Theyre going through a funk, I know. As soon as we leave town, theyre going to break out. Ive got a feeling." Sam Freeman inherited two runners and then got two key outs in the eighth before Rosenthal replaced him.
