Team USA: Aaron Loup replaces Brooks Raley (hamstring)

Team USA named Aaron Loup as an injury replacement Saturday for fellow left-hander Brooks Raley on the World Baseball Classic roster.

The New York Mets said Raley has a low grade left hamstring strain and will return to the team's spring training site in Port St. Lucie, Fla.

Raley, 34, pitched a scoreless inning for Team USA in an exhibition game against the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday.
