New York — FOOTBALL

NEW YORK (AP) — The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals threw out a judge's order lifting the NFL lockout, handing the league a victory as players and owners spent another day negotiating.

The ruling was issued shortly after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and NFLPA chief DeMaurice Smith opened the second straight day of labor talks at a Manhattan law firm.

The court vacated an April 25 decision by U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson that the lockout should be lifted because players were suffering irreparable harm. The appeals court had already put that order on hold and said in its ruling that Nelson ignored federal law in reaching her decision.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State is vacating its wins from the 2010 football season, including its share of the Big Ten championship and a victory over Arkansas in the Sugar Bowl.

Responding to the NCAA's investigation of a memorabilia-for-cash scandal that cost former coach Jim Tressel his job and led quarterback Terrelle Pryor to leave school, the university also said it is waiving a $250,000 fine imposed on Tressel and changing his resignation to a retirement.

Through the school, Tressel said that he's taking responsibility for the NCAA inquiry, which developed after it was learned Tressel failed to report players receiving improper benefits.

The university also is putting the football program on probation for two years, which means there would be harsher penalties if any further wrongdoing is discovered. The NCAA could still impose tougher sanctions, such as a ban on postseason play and a reduction in scholarships.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — The NCAA has placed West Virginia's football program on two years of probation.

The probation stems from violations involving out-of-season coaching and the use of non-coaching staff who worked with players. The NCAA report says WVU committed major violations involving failure to monitor by former coaches Rich Rodriguez and Bill Stewart and by the university.

BASEBALL

Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez and Shane Victorino became the latest All-Star scratches.

Shortly after Jeter pulled himself Friday to rest an injured calf, New York Yankees teammate Rodriguez joined him because of a sore knee. That made it three Yankees who won't play for the American League on Tuesday in Phoenix. Closer Mariano Rivera will sit out to heal his right triceps.

Earlier, the Los Angeles Dodgers' Andre Ethier replaced Philadelphia's injured Shane Victorino in a switch of NL outfielders. New York Mets shortstop Jose Reyes previously was excused because of a hamstring problem.

Detroit's Jhonny Peralta will replace Jeter on the roster, and Boston's Kevin Youkilis will take Rodriguez's spot. Los Angeles Angels rookie closer Jordan Walden is replacing Rivera. More roster changes are expected, with some pitchers starting this weekend and other players nursing injuries.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers have fired Steve Garvey for his attempts to buy the team that he helped to the 1981 World Series title, according to a person familiar with the situation.

The person, who wasn't authorized to speak publicly on personnel matters and talked to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said Garvey is no longer with the team, ending a 30-year tenure in the organization. Garvey worked in marketing and community relations.
