Anaheim righthander Mark Gubicza had arthroscopic surgery yesterday to check for damage in his pitching shoulder.
The Penn Charter graduate has been on the disabled list since April 14 and is expected to be out until at least early August. In two starts this season, Gubicza allowed 13 earned runs in 4 2/3 innings - an ERA of 25.07.
* New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner ordered manager Joe Torre to bench second baseman Mariano Duncan, who then demanded to be traded.
