The Reds' Ken Griffey Jr., Philadelphia's Jim Thome and the Chicago Cubs' Sammy Sosa will represent the National League in the All-Star Home Run Derby.

The Yankees' Jason Giambi will be among the American League players to participate in the competition Monday night in Houston.

One more NL player and three from the AL remain to be picked, the commissioner's office said Tuesday.

WHITE SOX: Pitcher Freddy Garcia signed a $27 million, three-year contract extension with the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday, just 10 days after being traded from Seattle.

The 28-year-old right-hander was eligible to become a free agent after this season.

A two-time All-Star, Garcia is 77-50 with a 3.90 ERA in five-plus seasons.

EXPOS: Right-hander Zach Day was placed on the 15-day disabled list with right shoulder tendinitis. Day, 26, a La Salle High graduate, lasted 1 1/3 innings Monday against the Atlanta Braves, giving up eight runs on eight hits. He is 5-9 with a 4.04 ERA.

BLUE JAYS: Slugger Carlos Delgado was activated from the 15-day disabled list after missing 33 games because of a strained rib cage.

INDIANS: Reliever Bob Wickman was activated from the 60-day disabled list. Wickman, 35, hasn't pitched in the majors since Aug. 10, 2002. He suffered a strained right elbow in spring training and has spent the last three months in rehabilitation.

The Indians also designated for assignment reliever Jose Jimenez, who was 1-7 with a 8.42 ERA.

CARDINALS: Scott Rolen expects to be able to continue to play despite his sore left knee after an MRI exam revealed irritation in the joint.

YANKEES: The Yankees' protest of a weekend loss against the New York Mets was denied Tuesday by the commissioner's office.
