CLEVELAND --?Indians starter Trevor Bauer doesnt think the cut on his right pinkie will be a factor when he goes to the mound for Game 2 of the World Series on Wednesday night.It feels fine, Bauer said Tuesday.Bauer could not make it out of the first inning of Game 3 of the American League Championship Series as blood poured out of the laceration. He hurt the finger while working on a drone.Bauer threw 20 pitches to batters on Monday during batting practice, his first true test against hitters since Game 3 in Toronto. He wore a small bandage on the cut, but the injury will not be wrapped on Wednesday. Bauer said there was no blood present when the bandage was removed Monday, which he took as an encouraging sign.I dont think that finger is going to be the reason he wins or loses, Cleveland manager Terry Francona said.Franconas strategy for using his pitchers in this series will be determined by how they make it through the first three games. Game 1 starter Corey Kluber, Bauer and Game 3 starter?Josh Tomlin?all could go on short rest, beginning with Kluber in Game 4. Under this scenario, Kluber could also start Game 7.Its not just one guy can handle it and maybe come back early, Francona said. Because once you do that, then the other guys pretty much have to, too, [or] youre really not helping yourself.If the Indians use a fourth starter, it will likely be either righty Danny Salazar or rookie lefty Ryan Merritt. Salazar, an All-Star, would be limited to 60 or 70 pitches since he has not pitched in a big league game since early September because of forearm tightness.Merritt started Game 5 of the ALCS and pitched 4 1/3 scoreless innings as the Indians clinched the pennant last Wednesday in Toronto. Merritt and Salazar could be used out of the bullpen, as well.Fake NBA Jerseys 2019 . -- Anaheim Ducks defenceman Luca Sbisa will be out at least six weeks with a torn tendon in his right hand.

In February, six weeks before a marathon I had signed up for, I injured my hamstring. Then in March, I received a lottery spot in the Nov. 6 New York City Marathon.On Sunday, I unfortunately didnt achieve my Boston qualifying goal.I did, however, run almost 10 minutes faster than my personal best. I completed the 26.2-mile trek through New York City in 3:48:16.The weather was nearly perfect (though I couldve done without the 15-mile-per-hour wind), my body felt strong and I was running in my favorite city. The first mile, windy and uphill on the Verrazano Bridge, was about a minute-and-half behind my goal pace of 8:00 minutes per mile. While you cant win a marathon in the first mile, you can certainly lose it. But I didnt panic. I knew what my body had to give, and I couldnt worry about making up that time in the second mile -- it would have to be throughout the race.I felt very strong through mile 23. The Queensboro Bridge was quiet and offered spectacular views of Manhattan. Around mile 17, I saw my mom, my boyfriend and my best friend who had surprised me for the weekend. Near mile 18 I found out other friends were cheering me on, and at 103rd Street I met up with one of my running partners.But at mile 23, the slight incline of Fifth Avenue in Manhattan became intimidating, and my hamstring really started to feel the pounding. By mile 24, I decided I could give everything I had left into running the best personal record I could. I saw my mom, boyfriend and best friend again at mile 25.5 and had tears in my eyes because I was going to accomplish that new personal record.As I finished the race, I pulled out my phone to take a selfie with my medal, and my dad FaceTimed me to congratulate me onn my accomplishment.ddddddddddddShaving just one second off a personal best is a huge accomplishment -- but to cut nearly 10 minutes is downright incredible. But it comes with mixed feelings as I relive the race over and over again. Im sad to not have reached my Boston qualification goal, but nothing can take away what my body accomplished on Sunday. That night, I celebrated with family and friends with pizza, beer and a smile on my face.The Monday after the marathon in New York is a great sight -- many runners from the previous day waddle around wearing their medals over work clothes, and engraving machines are up and running. The only medals I engrave are the ones Ive received from the New York City Marathon, and to know that this years medal has my personal best time on the back is huge.As I hung up my medal on Tuesday, I was reminded why I love the crazy endeavor of running marathons. Training can be hell, but you find a way to bring yourself back from it through the joy and pride of race day. Race times may not always be your target, and what matters is that youve run a marathon and you can say youve accomplished a huge goal.Im really sad that this particular marathon journey is over, and its been difficult to sit down and evaluate the health of my body. I dont know what my next marathon will be, and I dont really know when I will run again, but I am still a runner and I ended this journey with a 3:48:16 personal best.Megan Flood is a seven-time marathoner and half marathoner.
