CLEVELAND - Jason Giambi has never taken a single day as a major leaguer for granted. And at 43, the veteran sluggers not about to start. Giambi was activated from the disabled list on Tuesday by the Cleveland Indians, who also recalled right-hander Trevor Bauer from Triple-A Columbus to start against Detroit and made several other roster moves. Although he wasnt in the starting lineup to face Justin Verlander, Giambi is grateful to be back in any capacity. "Its fun to have your name on the lineup card and get a chance to help the ball club out," he said. Giambi had been placed on the DL on May 5 with a strained calf he injured a day earlier against the Chicago White Sox. It was his Giambis second trip to the DL after he fractured a rib during spring training. Before he went on the DL last month, Giambi, who has 438 career homers, was hitless in 10 at-bats. Its been a rough start. "I went basically from a broken rib, played a few games, calf injury," he said. "That kind of happens when you get that short spring training and dont get to play much. Its definitely hard to get going and come back to the cold weather, but Im excited to be back." The Indians also promoted utility man Justin Sellers from Triple-A Columbus and optioned infielder Jose Ramirez to the Clippers. First baseman Jesus Aguilar, who had two RBIs in Mondays win over Detroit, and left-hander T.J. House were optioned back to the minor leagues to clear room for Giambi and Bauer. Indians manager Terry Francona intends to use Giambi in pinch-hitting situations. Hell also be used at designated hitter, and could see more time if Carlos Santana, who is batting .148, continues to struggle. Giambi said if there was one positive about his calf injury, its that it didnt prevent him from keeping his swing sharp. "I was able to do everything," he said. "I could hit. I could do everything else. With the rib, I basically couldnt do anything. I was shut down for basically five weeks, not doing anything. "So, that was nice. I could still hit, throw, everything but run. I kept up with my hitting, which was great. I feel like I could catch up, like I dont have to make up that time to get some swings in, so thats big for me." Bauer will be making his second start. The right-hander, who went 4-1 with a 2.15 ERA in seven starts in the minors, will match up against Verlander and face Detroits fearsome lineup for the first time. The 23-year-old Bauer struck out eight in a spot start against San Diego on April 9. He took the loss, but went back to Columbus and continued to dominate. "We were glad we got a chance to glimpse the last outing, and then he went back to Triple-A and kicked it into gear," Francona said. "Weve been talking for a year, this guys a big part of what we want to do going forward. And to see him growing and understanding, its exciting." Karl Malone Jersey .

Each day, TSN.ca provides the latest rumours, reports and speculation from around the NHL beat. Defensive Depth TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun is reporting the Toronto Maple Leafs have considerable interest in unrestricted free-agent defenceman Dan Boyle.LANDOVER, Md. - On the first play of a 27-7 loss to the Buccaneer!s, Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III threw a low pass that tight end Niles Paul bobbled twice before the ball floated away and was intercepted, leading to a field goal for Tampa Bay. On Washingtons second possession — which began, inauspiciously enough, with a false-start penalty on receiver Pierre Garcon — left tackle Trent Williams went down with right knee ligament and ankle injuries and didnt return. And on Washingtons third possession — which opened with a false-start penalty on tight end Logan Paulsen — Griffin was picked off again, this time when linebacker Marion Foster reached up to deflect the pass and cornerback Johnthan Banks grabbed the ball to return it 19 yards for a touchdown. That elicited boos from the home crowd, a soundtrack heard repeatedly Sunday after mistakes by the Redskins — including another turnover, two missed field-goal attempts by Kai Forbath, and a complete inability to cover rookie receiver Mike Evans. It was a travesty out there, Griffin said. Rookie coach Jay Grudens take after his team fell to 3-7? It really looked like the first preseason game, Gruden said. The Redskins are now 1-8 in Griffins past nine starts, dating to last season — and the only victory in that span came in Week 2 against Jacksonville, when the 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year left in the first quarter with a dislocated left ankle. He returned in Week 9, when Washington lost at Minnesota; the Redskins then had their bye last week, but that extra time to rest and prepare showed zero benefits against Tampa Bay (2- . Gruden was asked what has happened to Griffin since his breakout first season after winning the Heisman Trophy and being the second pick in the NFL draft. Thats something that we have to find the answer to, Gruden said, and he has to find the aanswer to.dddddddddddd Asked whether Griffin has shown he should be the teams starting quarterback, Gruden replied: After todays performance, nobody proved they deserved to start anywhere. Offensive line, weve got to look at, he added. Running backs. Everybody. You hate to pin a struggling performance on one person until you see the film. ... This was a total team effort, this horrific game. But he has got a lot of improving to do, obviously. The defence allowed Evans to catch seven passes from Josh McCown for 207 yards and two TDs — the best receiving day for an NFL rookie since Anquan Boldin of the Cardinals in 2003 also topped 200 yards and had two scores. Griffin was 23 for 32 for 207 yards, the pair of interceptions, and a 30-yard touchdown off a screen pass to Roy Helu in the last minute of the second quarter. He was sacked six times. All of this came against an opponent that had one win all season before Sunday and entered with a five-game losing streak, scoring no more than 17 points in any of its four most recent games. It was just bad ball out there today. It was not looking past Tampa Bay, because we cant afford to look past anyone, Griffin said. We are not a very good football team right now and (we) have a long way to go. Every guy has to look himself in the mirror and say that. Notes: Williams has an MCL injury and will have an MRI on Monday. Other Redskins injuries: DT Chris Baker (chest), LG Shawn Lauvao (concussion), TE Jordan Reed (hamstring), LB Trent Murphy (knee). ... Forbath had made 15 of 16 field-goal attempts this season, including 11 in a row. He went 0 for 2 on Sunday, missing tries from 47 and 50 yards, both wide right. ___ Follow Howard Fendrich on Twitter at http://twitter.com/HowardFendrich ___ Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Twins Jerseys Wholesale Royals Jerseys Cheap Tigers Jerseys Authentic Indians Jerseys Cheap White Sox Jerseys Discount Blue Jays Jerseys Wholesale Rays Jerseys Cheap Yankees Jerseys Discount Red Sox Jerseys Discount Orioles Jerseys Discount Astros Jerseys Cheap Angels Jerseys Cheap Athletics Jerseys Cheap Mariners Jerseys Rangers Jerseys From China Braves Jerseys Outlet Cheap Marlins Jerseys Wholesale Mets Jerseys Wholesale Phillies Jerseys Cheap Nationals Jerseys Cubs Jerseys From China Reds Jerseys From China Cheap Brewers Jerseys Wholesale Pirates Jerseys Cheap Cardinals Jerseys Cheap Diamondbacks Jerseys Authentic Rockies Jerseys Dodgers Jerseys From China Wholesale Padres Jerseys Giants Jerseys From China ' ' ' |
