Butler leaves Dodgers to get neck checked PITTSBURGH (AP) Los Ange les Dodgers outfielder Brett But ler, who missed most of last season with cancer of the tonsils, left the team yesterday to see his doctor about an irritation in his neck. The problem has been diagnosed as an infection in the soft tissue on the right side of the neck. It is not believed to be related to the cancer, although the cancer also occurred on the right side. Butler returned to his Atlanta home for the examination and is expected to rejoin the Dodgers after missing two games. "He should be back in time for (tomorrow's) game," manager Bill Russell said. The Dodgers do not consider the problem to be alarming, but they and Butler preferred to take a cau tionary approach. Butler said last winter the can cer left him with some numbness in his neck. Butler, batting .293 with 16 RBIs in 92 games, missed 24 games ear lier this season with an injured shoulder.

Rhodes said none of the ill play ers are expected to miss the season opener Sunday against the New York Giants. Chad Scott preparing for long day with Irvin PITTSBURGH (AP) He knows it's coming maybe on the second play, maybe in the second quarter. It's not a matter of if, but when. Michael Irvin, perhaps the best big-play receiver in football, will line up against him, a rookie cor nerback starting his first NFL game, and try to beat him. If Irvin does it once, he'll go back to the huddle, tell quarter back Troy Aikman that this new kid can't handle him and to get him the ball deep, and often. Aikman, who thrives on finding and exploiting weaknesses, will do exactly that. That's the life of a rookie corner back in the NFL playing his first game against the Dallas Cowboys. This week, it is Chad Scott's life. Is he nervous? Not much. Is he scared? That might not be the right word. Does he wish he were oppos ing a team other than Dallas in his first game as an NFL starter? Get back to him next week. "Really, I don't get too nervous before a game," Scott, the Pitts burgh Steelers' first-round draft choice, said yesterday. "I feel more comfortable than I did at the start of the (exhibition) season. We've played together back there for a while, and I'm getting more com fortable."
