PITTSBURGH -- Ben Roethlisberger plans to play in Fridays preseason game against the New Orleans Saints.The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, entering his 13th season in the NFL, doesnt remember missing a third preseason game during his professional career.Id like to be out there. Its a different speed, Roethlisberger said. I know my line doesnt want to hear it, but I wouldnt mind getting hit once. Maybe after the ball is gone, just a little tap from a defensive guy.The Steelers have sidelined the offensive trio of Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown and LeVeon Bell for the first two preseason games. Bells status is uncertain because of his recovery from knee surgery in November, but Browns chances to play are greater.Roethlisberger will look to find an in-game rhythm with younger playmakers such as Markus Wheaton, Sammie Coates, Eli Rogers and Jesse James.Bell will miss the first three games of the season because of an NFL suspension for missed drug tests. DeAngelo Williams, who scored 11 touchdowns last year, will start in Bells place.Roethlisberger said hes disappointed one of the best players in the game wont be out there Week 1, but the quarterback played just 58 snaps with Bell last year because of a separate suspension and the knee injury suffered Nov. 1 against Cincinnati.Most players from the core unit that will take the field Friday in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome are used to each other.Good news is weve done it before, right? Roethlisberger said. We know what we get from [Williams]. Happy hes here. Excited weve got a player like him to be out there the first couple of games.

MIAMI -- Buyers at the trade deadline for a change, the Miami Marlins believe they now have enough starting pitching to make a playoff push.The Marlins acquired the rotation reinforcements they sought in a trade Friday that cost them four players. Right-handers Andrew Cashner and Colin Rea were sent to Miami by the San Diego Padres in the seven-player deal.Miami also will receive pitching prospect Tayron Guerrero and cash for right-handers Jarred Cosart and Carter Capps and two minor leaguers, pitching prospect Luis Castillo and first baseman Josh Naylor.The one message it does send is that were trying to win, Miami manager Don Mattingly said. Were not trying to go backward. We have an opportunity here.The Marlins are in contention for their first playoff berth since 2003 despite a shaky rotation. Aside from ace Jose Fernandez, their starters are 23-24 with an ERA of 4.40.Rea will start Saturday against the St. Louis Cardinals, and Cashner will start the series finale Sunday.Cashner is 4-7 with a 4.76 ERA in 16 starts, including a 2.55 ERA in his past three outings while being showcased for a trade.We wanted to get someone that was hot and could bring an immediate impact, Marlins president of baseball operations Michael Hill said.Cashner has a career record of 30-49 with a 3.73 ERA in seven seasons. Mattingly, former manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, faced the 6-foot-6 right-hander often in the NL West.Ive seen him really good, Mattingly said. Hes got power stuff. I saw him when he was their No. 1, and he has that kind of stuff.Rea, who is in his second major league season, is 5-5 with a 4.98 ERA in 19 games this year.Cashner has a $7.15 million contract and becomes a free agent after this season.dddddddddddd Rea, 26, has a salary of $510,200 and is under team control through 2018.The Padres are fourth in the NL West and looking to future seasons, and for them the prize in the deal might be Naylor, 19, a left-handed power hitter taken by the Marlins in the first round of the 2015 draft. He is batting .269 with nine home runs this year for Single-A Greensboro.Cosart went 13-11 in 2014 with Houston and Miami but has struggled since. This year he is 0-1 with a 5.95 ERA in four starts with the Marlins, and 3-4 with a 4.09 ERA in 10 starts for Triple-A New Orleans.Capps, a reliever with a 100 mph fastball, underwent Tommy John surgery in March and is expected to be ready for opening day 2017.We traded away good players, Hill said. To get quality, you have to give quality.Miamis already thin rotation was further depleted last week when left-hander Wei-Yin Chen went on the disabled list because of a sprained elbow. Cashner and Rea will join Fernandez, Tom Koehler and Adam Conley.Marlins players applauded the trade.Cashner has very good stuff, Fernandez said. Ive actually faced him hitting, and I dont like to hit against him. I think hes going to help us get to where we need to go.Miami designated outfielder Cole Gillespie and infielder Cole Figueroa for assignment.The trade is the second between the Marlins and Padres this summer. In June, Miami acquired All-Star reliever Fernando Rodney for a minor league pitcher.---AP Freelancer Christopher Stock in Miami contributed to this report. ' ' '
