ALLENTOWN, Pa. -- An eastern Pennsylvania judge says she wont dismiss the homicide charges against former pro wrestling star Jimmy Superfly Snuka in the death of his girlfriend more than three decades ago but may consider doing so later.The Lehigh County judge in June ruled the 73-year-old defendant mentally incompetent to stand trial in his girlfriends 1983 death. She declined prosecutors request to have him involuntarily committed to a mental hospital.Prosecutors then asked the judge to either require Snuka to participate in outpatient treatment to determine whether he can become mentally competent or dismiss the charges.If you believe that hes not going to become competent, then whats the point? Chief Deputy District Attorney Charles Gallagher III asked Judge Kelly Banach in court on Tuesday. We ask you to dismiss the charges.Banach said she wasnt comfortable with dismissing the charges at this point but wanted to revisit the case at Snukas next evaluation hearing in December. She said she was open to reconsidering her decision if new evidence to drop the charges was presented.The defense has argued that Snuka suffers from dementia, partly due to the head trauma he suffered over a long career in the ring. A prosecution expert said Snukas brain shows normal signs of aging and suggested that he might be feigning symptoms. Gallagher repeated that contention Tuesday, saying the defendant has been an actor his whole life.Banach, who questioned Snuka herself earlier, said in June that she found the wrestler vacant and unable to assist in his defense. I dont believe hes faking it. I dont think hes smart enough to fake it, Banach said in June.If Banach grants the prosecutions motion to require outpatient treatment, its unclear where Snuka would receive it. Defense attorney Robert Kirwan said his client plans to move to Florida to live with his son.Snuka, a native of Fiji who lives in New Jersey, was charged last year with third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter in the death of 23-year-old Nancy Argentino, whose body was found in their Whitehall Township hotel room. Prosecutors allege she was beaten while Snuka has maintained that she died from a fall. Cheap Stitched Golden Knights Jerseys .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again.

PAUL, Minn. As the Boston Red Sox made a trade to help their rotation, their bullpen took another hit.Junichi Tazawa, one of the American Leagues most reliable setup men over the past few years, went on the 15-day disabled list Thursday with a right shoulder impingement. The move, retroactive to July 4, comes three days after closer Craig Kimbrel underwent surgery on his left knee that is expected to sideline him for three to six weeks.Tazawa has a 3.62 ERA in 35 appearances. He hasnt pitched since July 3, complaining last week of shoulder fatigue, an issue that caused him to be shut down for the final month of last season. Since 2013, Tazawa has worked 222 1/3 innings, 12th most among American League relievers.With Kimbrel and Tazawa sidelined, Koji Uehara and newly acquired Brad Ziegler are the most trustworthy late-inning options for Red Sox manager John Farrell, although right-handders Matt Barnes (2.dddddddddddd93 ERA, 43 strikeouts in 43 innings) and Heath Hembree (2.00 ERA, 35 strikeouts in 36 innings) have had breakout seasons and are worthy of higher-leverage roles.The Red Sox have made four trades within the past week, including a move Thursday night to acquire All-Star lefty Drew Pomeranz from the San Diego Padres for 18-year-old top pitching prospect Anderson Espinoza. After president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski acquired Ziegler last Saturday, Dombrowski said the bullpen was pretty well set.Tazawas injury might change things, although hes eligible to come off the disabled list as soon as July 19.To fill Tazawas spot on the roster, the Red Sox recalled right-hander William Cuevas from Triple-A Pawtucket.
