KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona is more concerned about how his rotation will line up for the American League Division Series than the Saturday matchup with the Kansas City Royals.Right-hander Trevor Bauer, who starts Saturday, will in all likelihood by the Indians starter for the first postseason game Thursday.Right-hander Carlos Carrasco was placed on the 60-day disabled list Friday, removing him from any postseason appearances.Cy Young candidate Corey Kluber is nursing a quadriceps strain, while All-Star right-hander Danny Salazar has a forearm strain.While Kluber, who is 18-9 with a 3.14 ERA, threw long toss Friday before the game at Kauffman Stadium, he has yet to test his sore leg with a mound session. Salazar could have a simulated game Monday if he feels good the next couple of days.We need to talk through with the staff, and we need to talk to Kluber more, too, cause we want to get a better feel for where he is, too, Francona said. Were not going to know that for a little bit, so thats kind of why were waiting to see whats going on here.Does that mean who would start Game 1 of the ALDS?If and when and why, yeah, Francona said.Bauer has indicated he would be willing to pitch on short rest or be available every day out of the bullpen.I dont doubt that, Francona said. Thats something that, we need to talk through. Weve already talked with him.Bauer is 12-8 with a 4.26 ERA in 34 games (27 starts) this season. He struck out 159, walked 68 and allowed 173 hits in 184 innings.The Indians are one-half game behind Boston for home-field advantage in their upcoming ALDS.The Royals, who wont be in the postseason after playing in the past two World Series, will start Edinson Volquez on Saturday. He is 0-1 with a 7.77 ERA and opponents are hitting .324 off him in five September starts. He gave up 12 doubles and four home runs among 33 hits in 24 1/3 innings.This will be his sixth start against the Indians this year (1-2, 3.73), becoming only the second Kansas City pitcher to make six starts against the same team in a season.Meanwhile, the Royals try to figure out how Yordano Ace Ventura might improve during the offseason. His loss Friday to the Indians left him with a 4.45 ERA, the highest of his career.I just think that hes starting to understand, Royals manager Ned Yost said. Again, obviously, tonight, its still not quite there to be able to take it through six or seven innings, but you see the difference in five innings when hes staying within himself and just dotting that fastball, good curveball, nice changeup and then he starts to fly open a little bit, getting a little bit strong and then leaves pitches up in the zone and they do damage on it.Ventura gave up four runs, all in the third inning, while striking out eight, walking three and hitting a batter.Thank goodness I was able to finish the season healthy and Im going to go back home and start working to prepare myself for spring training next year, Ventura said with catching coach Pedro Grifol acting as his interpreter.

Banks told TSN on Jan 2 that he had no interest in playing out the option year of his contract with the Lions in 2014, and he again made that clear in a conversation with Lions GM Wally Buono last week. NEW YORK -- He has been the best player in mens tennis for the past five years, ranked No. 1 for 113 consecutive weeks.But for a variety of resonating reasons, Novak Djokovic doesnt feel like the favorite here at the US Open.That would be No. 2 seed Andy Murray, riding the wave of his recent victories in Wimbledon and Rio de Janeiro. Full disclosure: The oddsmakers still favor Djokovic by the slightest of margins.Murray absolutely wrecked Lukas Rosol in the opening round, dropping only seven games. Djokovic gave away that many in a single set -- and 13 overall -- in an uninspired initial outing against Jerzy Janowicz.All in all, this is probably a good thing for Djokovic, who lately has been fraying at his ends.On Wednesday afternoon, he received the best news possible: Jiri Vesely pulled out of their second-round match with a left forearm injury. Vesely actually had a career 1-0 record against Djokovic after winning earlier this spring in Monte Carlo.This gives the 29-year-old three full days of non-match rest, which gives his sore left wrist and right arm a chance to recover for his third-round match against either Guido Pella or Mikhail Youzhny.Djokovic came into this US Open as the defending champion, but was knocked out of the Rio Olympics in the first round by Juan Martin del Potro and forced to withdraw from the recent tournament in Cincinnati.The wrist was the issue coming in, but when Djokovic called for the ATP World Tour trainer to work on his arm during that first-round match, more red flags were raised. Afterward, he understandably declined to get into specifics about his physical condition.To be honest, I take it day by day, Djokovic said. Thats what I feel at the moment. Its good, as I said, just to finish the match. Im pleased that as the match progressed I was feeling better and better.I hope that Illl feel overall good so Im able to perform at my best for the next match.dddddddddddd.Djokovic, like Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, is experiencing some of the difficulties that come from being at the top of his craft. All tennis players suffer stress on their joints, but the ones who go deepest into draws feel it the most. In the past 52 weeks, Djokovic has played 84 matches, the most in tennis. Murray (78) and Milos Raonic (66) are next in line.Not only is Djokovic the father of a 1-year-old, Stefan, he was recently elected president of the player council, a position that requires time and leadership abilities.Despite all the swirling questions, Djokovic has a chance to do something quite rare. With a title here, he can join Roger Federer (2006-07) as the second man to win three majors in consecutive years.And consider this bit of fortuitous statistical fodder: Djokovic has won seven straight matches against the highest-seeded player in his half of the draw, No. 4 Rafael Nadal, and has never lost to the next two, No. 5 Milos Raonic (7-0) and No. 7 Marin Cilic (14-0).After his first-round match, Djokovic did not sound like a man succumbing to the hysteria of the moment.I have more than enough happiness in my life and blessings to be a father and a husband, he said. Life is wonderful. I mean, there is no doubt about it. I cannot sit here and complain and whine about the issues that everybody has in each day in their lives, privately, professionally.When you expect the least, thats when you have things coming at you as lifes lessons. Im glad that Im able to accept them and to greet them with a consciousness of wanting to evolve and wanting to get the best out of them. Thats all I can say. ' ' '
