December 27. 2002 SCOREBOARD n rrh DAotDALL a a A Rangers sign relief pitcher Yan to ens-yedeal 4402 4001 GjwaBay 1m St. ar ARLINGTON, Texas 4740 NA - The Texas Rangsis took another step toward shoring up their bullpen Thursday by Estebaa Km to a one-yesigning nght-hand- er deal Yan. 27, went 7-- 8 with a 4.30 ERA and 18 saves In 55 games last season with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. His signing comes four days after the Rangers signed two-tim- e ar closer Ugjetti Urbtaa to a one-ye- ar deal for $4 million wijh another $500,000 deferred. Although Yan has started, general manager Join Hart said hell be used mostly as a middle reliever. Yan converted 19 of 27 save opportunities last year, and his seven relief wins tied a Tampa Bay record. Manager Buck ShowaJter said he likes Yen's power, and that his youth and durability will allow the team to bring him in early or late. Yan joins a bullpen that blew several late leads last pmudbmm PMMMpM LB (illness); Sakic, the Avalanche's captain, was injured Dec. 13 during a 4-- 3 overtime loss in Edmonton. MODANO ACTIVATED: The Dallas Stars activated center Mike Modano from the injured reserve list Thursday and sent Jim Montgomery to the Utah Griz- (chest); TE Modano had missed three games after sustaining a mild concussion on Dec. 17 at Philadelphia. He was to be in the lineup Thursday night at Nashville. Modano leads Dallas in scoring with 35 points in 33 games played. He has 13 goals and 22 assists. Montgomery had been recalled from Utah on Saturday. COLLEGE ' f 11:30 p.m. La.
