EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Kings defenceman Drew Doughty missed the first practice of training camp Friday with an upper-body injury. The defending Stanley Cup champions didnt provide a timetable for their star defencemans return. Doughty was injured during an off-season workout back home in Ontario, but has skated in recent days. Kings coach Darryl Sutter wouldnt provide specific details about Doughtys injury, saying only that the defenceman is "really good." Doughty had five goals and 13 assists in 26 playoff games during the Kings run to their second NHL title in three seasons. The high-scoring defenceman had 37 points during the regular season, his sixth in Los Angeles. Goalie Jonathan Quick and forwards Jarret Stoll and Kyle Clifford all skated at the Kings training complex Friday after off-season surgery. Quick had surgery on his wrist shortly after the Kings playoff run ended in June. The 2012 Conn Smythe Trophy winner said his wrist still "isnt 100 per cent yet, but were working, and were right on track with where we thought it would be at this point." Quick might not play extensively in the preseason, but backup Martin Jones and veteran camp signee Jeff Deslauriers would fill in. Stoll wasnt expected to practice early in camp after off-season hip surgery, but the veteran centre was on the ice with Clifford, who had minor surgery. http://www.atleticomadridpro.com/Kids-Blank-Jersey/ .

A candidate to become Detroits eighth-inning setup man, Rondon felt discomfort Monday after pitching a scoreless inning against Washington the previous day. Detroit general manager Dave Dombrowski said Rondon was examined Wednesday by Dr. James Andrews, and an MRI revealed the tear. Dombrowski said the 23-year-old will have surgery next week. "He just came in one day and said he was a little tender," Dombrowski said Friday. "At that point, we figured he should see a doctor. Before that, he hadnt complained of any problems at all." Rondon becomes the latest pitcher hurt during spring training and headed to Tommy John surgery, following Atlantas Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy, and Oaklands Jarrod Parker. Arizonas Patrick Corbin also may need the procedure. Rondon was 1-2 with a 3.45 ERA as a rookie last year, striking out 30 in 28 2-3 iinnings, and he had a 1.dddddddddddd29 ERA in seven spring training games this year. Dombrowski said the Tigers, who signed Joba Chamberlain during the off-season, will fill Rondons spot internally. "We feel we have a lot of depth there," Dombrowski said. "Some guys will have to step up and I think they will." Rondon was competing with Chamberlain for the eighth-inning role leading to closer Joe Nathan. Now Al Alburquerque will likely get some of those opportunities, and expanded roles may go to Evan Reed and left-handers Ian Krol and Phil Coke. The Tigers have been beset by injuries. Shortstop Jose Iglesias could miss the entire season because of stress fractures in both legs; Andy Dirks, slated to platoon in left field, will miss the first two months after back surgery. Asked how he was holding up, first-year manager Brad Ausmus joked, "I just bought my first pack of Marlboros" — a reference to former manager Jim Leylands smoking habit.
