OTTAWA, Ontario -- Clarke MacArthur reported to the Ottawa Senators training camp healthy and excited for the season. He never imagined his plans would be derailed in a simple scrimmage.Speaking to the media for the first time since suffering his fourth concussion, the 31-year-old player talked about the hit that knocked him out of action and vowed to return to the ice this season.Playing in a Sept. 25 scrimmage, MacArthur had just played a puck in the corner and was about to turn up ice when he was hit by defenseman Patrick Sieloff.First thing I remember I was looking straight up at the bright lights, like I was at a KISS concert or something, MacArthur said. Then I kind of put two and two together what happened. I was upset, obviously. Just going through what I went through last year I was just praying it wasnt going to be the same thing and so far things have been a lot better and moving along a lot quicker.MacArthur entered the scrimmage symptom-free after missing all but four games last season as he recovered from a previous devastating concussion.He has been at the rink regularly and has even resumed light skating of late. He continues to suffer some symptoms, but not to the same degree as last year when he could barely function.And MacArthur was quick to affirm hes not currently considering retirement.No. At this point I was obviously devastated by the hit, along with other people who have been around me and been through it, but Im standing up here today and hopefully the next time we do this it will be before my first game or another step forward in a positive way, MacArthur said.Married and a father of two young children, MacArthur understands people will question his decision to return to the game, but says only he can know whats in his best interest.I take my information from the doctors, he said. Were taking it a step at a time and if they say Im OK to play then I want to keep playing.I just feel at my age I still have a lot to give and Im not ready for the next chapter yet so Im going to continue with this one if I can. Im the only one who knows how my body feels. I feel if I can keep making steps in the right direction, then some people wont like it, but there will be people that do like it too. I want to continue playing if I can.MacArthurs absence leaves a void both on and off the ice. Not only is he a skilled forward, but he is easily one of the most popular members of the team and a significant part of the leadership group.The Senators want to ensure MacArthur feels part of the team, and he will join the team for its western Canadian trip next week.To see him battling the way he is and showing persistence means a lot to us, defenseman Mark Borowiecki said. Hes just such a huge part of this team. To have him around us is special for all of us. You never want to see something like this happen to anyone, but it stings a little more when its someone like Clarke. It will be great to have him on the road.At this point MacArthur has no timetable on his return, but is willing to be patient.Its hard to say right now, he said. Every day Im trying to just do a little more and see where Im at every day. Im slowly getting better. Its going to take a while.

ATLANTA -- When the Atlanta Braves sent Matt Wisler back to the minors in early August, they made it clear to the young right-hander that they wanted to see more aggression and mental toughness on the mound.Wisler showed just that on his return last Thursday in Arizona, taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning and then continuing to battle after the Diamondbacks got their first hit.From the get-go, he just looked really focused, Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said. He was locked in and it was just like he was on a mission.The Braves (49-83) hope to see the same mindset Wednesday night when Wisler faces the San Diego Padres (55-76) in the middle game of a three-game set at Turner Field.There were some things I needed to fix, said Wisler, who is 5-11 with a 4.92 ERA. Me going down (to Triple-A Gwinnet) just allowed me to pitch without having to worry about a lot of things.Wisler worked eight innings in the 3-1 victory at Arizona and showed that he has the stuff to get major league hitters out when he sets his mind to it.The 23-year-old right-hander, acquired from San Diego before last season, began the season well and then went into a tailspin.Wisler had a 3.21 ERA in his first 10 starts, limiting the New York Mets to one hit over eight innings in early May. Then he had a 7.71 ERA in the 10 starts that preceded his demotion to Triple-A.After the outing in Arizona, it looks like he might be ready to finish strong.The kid has stuff, Snitker said. We knew that when we sent him out. It wasnt about stuff, it was about the whole package. It doesnt hurt these guys to take step back to ttake a step forward.ddddddddddddPadres right-hander Paul Clemens, who will start against Wisler, also wants to finish strong as he pushes for a spot in 2017.Clemens, who was drafted by the Braves in 2008, is 1/3 with a 4.68 ERA in 10 games (six starts) for San Diego since being claimed off waivers from Miami on June 28.He has the potential to pitch in the rotation for a long time, manager Andy Green said. He just has to remain focused on what he has to do, block out what happens on the periphery. If he does that, he has enough stuff to compete and win,Clemens went a season-best 5 1/3 innings last Wednesday in a 6-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs.Paul has grown in just the brief time hes been with us, Green said. Hes commanding his fastball better and hes shown a little bit better control of the running game.Hes got a great feel for his curveball and he has a changeup that he hasnt thrown as much as wed like to see him throw. Hes got really good off-speed pitches.The Padres took two of three games from Atlanta at San Diego in early June, but the Braves won the series opener at Turner Field 7-3 on Tuesday night.It was the first victory at home this season for Julio Teheran, who is 4-9 despite a 3.12 ERA.The Padres also suffered an injury, with catcher Christian Bethancourt leaving with a left intercostal strain suffered on a swing.Hes not feeling that great right now, Green said.A trip to the disabled list appears likely, but rosters can expand on Thursday anyway.
