One of four men accused of stealing a monument to Baltimore Orioles great Cal Ripken has pleaded guilty to theft.

Baltimore prosecutors say 19-year-old Jason Stoneburner received a two-year suspended jail term Wednesday and was ordered to pay restitution to the Orioles.

If he completes all the terms of his sentence, the conviction could be turned into probation before judgment, effectively wiping it off his record.

Three other defendants have opted for jury trials, which are scheduled to begin Friday.

Police said the men ripped the 31-foot aluminum No. 8 from its base outside Camden Yards on Sept. 9, then threw it into the back of a pickup truck.

They were arrested about two hours later.

DODGERS: Pitcher Vicente Padilla is recovering from a bullet wound in his leg in Nicaragua after a target shooting instructor accidentally shot him.

Dr. Eduardo Reguera said Padilla, who signed with the Dodgers in August, didn't need surgery after spending time at Managua's Metropolitan Hospital.

Police spokesman Vilma Reyes said Wednesday that Padilla's pistol apparently jammed during a target shooting session late Tuesday.

Padilla handed the pistol to a shooting instructor, a former police captain, who didn't realize there was a bullet in the chamber and shot himself in his hand, Padilla's legal adviser Roberto Calderon told The Associated Press. The bullet also grazed Padilla's leg.

The account contradicts Padilla's agent, Adam Katz , who told The Los Angeles Times that it was a "hunting accident."

Padilla went 4-0 with a 3.20 ERA for the Dodgers the final two months of the regular season. He allowed one run in 7Q innings in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series, but was battered for six runs in three innings in a season-ending loss to the Phillies.

CUBS: Left-hander Ted Lilly has had surgery on his left shoulder.

The team said the arthroscopy and debridement procedure performed Tuesday by Dr. Lewis Yocum in Los Angeles revealed no major damage.

The team said it will determine after the first of the year a timetable for Lilly to start a throwing program.

Lilly was 12-9 with a 3.10 ERA in 27 starts last season.

TIGERS: All-Star third baseman Brandon Inge underwent surgery on both knees.

The team said Wednesday the procedure at the Detroit Medical Center addressed chronic patellar tendinitis that plagued Inge last season. The procedure on Tuesday involved the repair of the patellar tendon in both knees.

Inge is expected to be ready for the start of spring training in February. The 32-year-old hit .230 with 27 home runs and 84 RBI in 161 games.
