STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Penn State kicker Joey Julius released a public statement Monday morning and admitted he sought treatment earlier this year for an eating disorder.Julius -- whose big hits on kickoffs twice went viral this season -- missed both spring and summer workouts with the football team. The reason was initially unknown, but he explained on Facebook that he was admitted to an eating disorder center in St. Louis from May 9 to July 26.Due to my increase in not only weight but also depression and anxiety, my team physicians started to notice not only a change in my overall happiness but also my performance as a normal human being, Julius wrote. Throughout this whole process I learned a lot about myself. I learned that for the last 11 years of my life, I have suffered through a disorder known as binge eating disorder.Julius, a 258-pound redshirt sophomore did not explain why he decided to open up about his disorder now, but he thanked both Penn State coach James Franklin and the staff for their support. He also extended his own help to anyone in a similar situation.If anyone - and I mean anyone, guy or girl - is struggling with the same or anything similar, please message me as I will be in immediate contact to help in any way I can to provide information or insight on my struggles, he wrote. And I would love to help.According to the National Eating Disorders Association, binge eating disorder impacts 2 percent of men and remains the most common eating disorder in the U.S.The reaction to Julius statement has been overwhelmingly positive so far, with more than 200 friends and fans posting to Julius Facebook wall and thanking him for the courage to reveal his disorder. His Twitter account has been flooded with similar messages.In a statement, Franklin said the Penn State program supports Julius.We are very proud of Joe and fully support him as he deals with these personal matters, he said. However, as is our policy, we do not discuss the medical affairs of our student-athletes. We ask for others to be supportive and respectful, as well!Julius has made headlines this season for his big hits on Kent State returner Kavious Price and Michigan returner Jourdan Lewis. All-American Jabrill Peppers even moved out of the way to avoid blocking the kicker.That guy is surprisingly a very good cover guy, Wolverines special-teams coach Jay Harbaugh said. Credit to him -- hes a big, stout cover guy you really have to account for, which is unfortunate. You usually like to be able to ignore the kickers.Julius handles kickoffs for the Nittany Lions.

DENVER -- The Colorado Rockies will try to go over .500 on Wednesday for the first time since they were 20-19 on May 18.After beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-3 Tuesday in the opener of a three-game series, the Rockies are a major-league-best 13-5 since the All-Star break.Colorado has won six of its past seven games and 10 of 12, and the team responded well Tuesday in the first game since rookie shortstop Trevor Story was lost for the balance of the season with a left thumb injury.An ulnar collateral ligament tear was diagnosed after Story underwent an MRI on Monday. He injured the thumb Saturday in New York against the Mets. He thought he had just jammed it after an X-ray came back negative.Its just very disappointing, very frustrating, said Story, who set a record for a National League rookie shortstop with 27 home runs and was hitting .272 with 72 RBI. The timing of it all, its the worst. I think thats the worst part of it.I just feel terrible that I wont be able to play every day. I feel like I mean a lot to the team. To not be out there, that hurts.Daniel Descalso started at shortstop Tuesday, and Cristhian Adames and Rafael Ynoa, who was recalled Tuesday from Triple-A Albuquerque, also will see time at the position, manager Walt Weiss said.I feel bad for Trevor, because he was doing some really special things, historical things, Weiss said. Well be OK as a club. Well mix and match and do our thing. I talk all the time to our club about the fact that over the course of seven months, youre going to be challenged in a variety of ways -- sometimes in the form of an injury, and thats what were dealing with now.Tyler Anderson, who is 3-3 with a 3.33 ERA iin his first nine career starts, will take the mound for the Rockies on Wednesday.dddddddddddd He is 3-1 with a 3.47 ERA in six starts at Coors Field.Brock Stewart (0-1, 9.00 ERA) will make his second career start for the Dodgers, who pushed both Kenta Maeda and Scott Kazmir back one day to give them extra rest.Stewarts spot start comes as the Dodgers try to sort out their rotation and weigh the availability of Rich Hill and Bud Norris. Hill, whom the Dodgers acquired Monday from Oakland, is on the disabled list with a blister on his left middle finger. He played long toss Tuesday and will throw a bullpen session Wednesday.Norris stayed back in Los Angeles to receive treatment for the back injury that ended his Sunday start against the Arizona Diamondbacks after just 13 pitches.Right now, were shooting for Saturday, Roberts said of Norris potentially starting against the Boston Red Sox. Well see how he responds.Hill could make his Dodgers debut Saturday. He threw a lengthy bullpen session over the weekend with Oakland just to keep his arm in shape as he had the finger bandaged. Hill will have what he called a big test when he throws a bullpen session with the finger uncovered.General manager Farhan Zaidi said Tuesday that the possibility of Hill tearing the blister open again early in the game has the Dodgers considering sending him out to make one rehab start.Is this a situation where having him go quote-unquote, all out, unprotected, in a rehab setting makes sense? Zaidi said. Is it a necessary step? Its still being evaluated. ' ' '
