MIAMI - Florida ace Josh Beckett is probably headed back to the disabled list.

Beckett, trying to recover from a strained back muscle, felt pain while throwing for a second consecutive day Wednesday.

He was hoping to start Saturday at Tampa Bay, but a team spokesman said Beckett's latest setback probably will land the World Series MVP on the 15-day DL for the second time in less than a month.

The Marlins were not sure who would replace Beckett in the rotation, but left-hander Darren Oliver is an obvious choice. He started eight games this season before moving to the bullpen.

ALL-STAR GAME: Yankees manager Joe Torre and Marlins manager Jack McKeon filled out their coaching staffs Wednesday for next month's All-Star Game in Houston.

Torre selected Royals manager Tony Pena and Blue Jays manager Carlos Tosca as the two AL coaches. McKeon picked Astros manager Jimy Williams and Rockies manager Clint Hurdle for the NL team.

Torre also invited Yankees coaches Don Mattingly, Rich Monteleone, Willie Randolph, Luis Sojo, Mel Stottlemyre and Roy White.

McKeon also invited Marlins coaches Jeff Cox, Doug Davis, Perry Hill, Bill Robinson, Wayne Rosenthal and Pierre Arsenault.

CARDINALS: A minor groin injury to outfielder Jim Edmonds prompted the St. Louis Cardinals to recall outfielder So Taguchi from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday. Taguchi was in the starting lineup against the Chicago Cubs.

Edmonds was taken out of the lineup about 1 1/2 hours before game time Tuesday, and manager Tony La Russa said he may be sidelined for a few days.

RED SOX: Boston second baseman Pokey Reese left Wednesday's game with a severely sprained left thumb after diving for a grounder.

BRAVES: Atlanta placed outfielder Dewayne Wise on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a strained left elbow and recalled Charles Thomas from Triple-A Richmond.
