Mitglieder » Trevor Bauer threw to hitters for the first time

CLEVELAND (AP) — since breaking his right leg last month and hopes to be back on the mound for Cleveland in time for the postseason.The right-hander pitched three simulated innings of about 17-to-19 pitches per inning and jokingly told manager Terry Francona he was available against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night.“I’m glad he feels that way Martin Maldonado Jersey ,” Francona said. “I don’t think that’s going to happen, but it’s nice to hear him say that.”Bauer is 12-6 with a 2.22 ERA in 25 starts. He has been sidelined since he was struck on the lower leg by a line drive off the bat of Chicago’s Jose Abreu on Aug. 11.He pitched to Indians reserves Eric Haase, Adam Rosales and Brandon Barnes.“The biggest takeaway is that I was able to completely focus on competing instead of being worried about or noticing if there’s any discomfort,” Bauer said. “I didn’t really think about it at all, and that’s the most important thing.”Bauer hopes to pitch in a game before the regular season ends Sept. 30. Francona said a meeting will be held with Bauer and the team’s medical staff.“The quicker we can get him in a game without risk the better http://www.angelsfanproshop.com/authentic-zack-cozart-jersey ,” Francona said.Indians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti says the team has discussed using Bauer as a reliever in the postseason. Brandon Finnegan gets the start."After a 2017 season lost almost entirely to injury and a 2018 season lost almost entirely to...something awful, Brandon Finnegan surely came to Goodyear, and Cincinnati Reds camp, with something to prove this spring. Hell, his roster spot pretty well depends on it. So Darin Erstad Jersey , to see that in his first inning of work he allowed 3 hits, a walk, a dinger, and a pair of runs earned isn’t exactly promising, but at least there’s plenty of spring left to still sort that out.Finnegan will get the start for the Reds today against the San Francisco Giants in Goodyear http://www.angelsfanproshop.com/authentic-zack-cozart-jersey , this time hoping that he can put a few batters away like he did in his rather solid 2016 season as a key cog in a young Reds rotation. How well he can do that might, might earn him the chance to break camp as a lefty in the team’s bullpen, which would certainly be nice from the player who, at the time, was the centerpiece of the Johnny Cueto deal with Kansas City way back when.Jesse Winker will make his spring training debut today Shohei Ohtani Jersey , too, as he’ll be leading off as the team’s LF. First pitch is set for 3:05 PM ET.Hat-tip to The Athletic’s C. Trent Rosecrans for today’s lineup info.
