SOURCE: QB TRENT GREEN HEADED TO DOLPHINS

Trent Green could be on the field with the Dolphins by this weekend after Miami finally agreed to terms with Kansas City on a trade for the quarterback.

Green will undergo a physical in Miami and if he passes it, the trade will be completed, a person within the NFL with knowledge of the deal told the Associated Press last night. The person requested not to be identified because the deal is not official. Neither team would confirm the trade yesterday. A Dolphins spokesman said he had no knowledge of a deal even being worked out, much less finalized. Green’s agent, Jim Steiner, did not return messages seeking comment. If the move happens, the 36-year-old Green would likely be with the Dolphins when they open a three-day minicamp on Friday.

MICKELSON TO SKIP MEMPHIS AS WRIST HEALS

Phil Mickelson withdrew yesterday from the final PGA Tour event before the U.S. Open and will have a cortisone shot in his left wrist. A doctor assured him he can play pain-free next week at Oakmont.

Mickelson, who withdrew from the Memorial last week after playing 11 holes, sought a second opinion on his wrist injury and was relieved to hear there was only inflammation. The three-time major champion believes he injured the wrist chipping out of the rough at Oakmont during practice rounds a week ago. Even after withdrawing from the Memorial, he entered the Stanford St. Jude Championship in Memphis because he prefers competition heading into the majors.

The Yankees’ come-from-behind 6–5 victory over the Boston Red Sox attracted the most households ever to watch a Sunday Night Baseball game on ESPN.

The telecast averaged more than 3.98 million households, the network said yesterday. It’s the fifthlargest audience for a regular season major league game on ESPN.

The previous Sunday night record was another Red Sox-Yankees game earlier this season, when more than 3.95 million households watched the April 22 broadcast.
