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.

MIAMI -- With Giancarlo Stanton going on the disabled list and likely out for the rest of the regular season, manager Don Mattingly said the Miami Marlins would need to find new ways to win.Thats what they did Sunday. Pitcher Tom Koehler hit a two-run infield single. Ichiro Suzuki drove in a runner from second base with a sacrifice bunt. And Christian Yelich threw a strike from left field on the final play, giving Miami a 5-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox.We lost a little confidence knowing the big guy is going to be on the DL, third baseman Martin Prado said. But we had a mission today -- go up there and find a way to perform.The victory averted a series sweep and provided a morale boost for the Marlins, who put Stanton and left-hander Adam Conley on the disabled list before the game. Stanton is expected to be sidelined at least six weeks with a strained groin.Were not the same club without him, but were still good enough to move forward, Mattingly said. Well have a little different look.The Marlins won without Stanton on their first try when Yelich threw out pinch-runner Carlos Sanchez trying to score from second base on a two-out hit in the ninth inning.With runners at first and second, Tyler Saladino singled to left, but Yelich charged to field the ball on one hop and threw on the fly to catcher Jeff Mathis, who blocked the plate and tagged Sanchez for the game-ending out.I let the throw go and saw it was going to stay pretty straight and we had a shot, Yelich said. Matty caught it and put the tag on him. I was looking at (my teammates) and they were pumped, and I said, `This is pretty sweet.Chicago manager Robin Ventura said Sanchez was right to run the bases aggressively.You have to make them make a good play, and they did, Ventura said. It was a great throw.Fernando Rodney got his third save for Miami despite allowing three hits in the ninth, including a solo homer by Tim Anderson.Chris Sale (14-6) allowed five runs in 6 2/3 innings. Hes 0-4 in his past six starts and hasnt won since his suspension for cutting up the teams throwback jerseys July 23.Im not doing too much to help us win, Sale said. Its frustrating. It would be frustrating for anybody. I dont know what my lines are or my stats are, but I just know Im not winning games.ddddddddddddMiami trailed 2-0 before scoring three times in the fifth, thanks to four consecutive singles and Suzukis RBI bunt, which caught the White Sox napping.The bunt came with runners at first and second and nobody out, and catcher Omar Narvaez hustled toward the mound to field the ball and throw Suzuki out. But that left the plate uncovered, and Robert Andino -- who had been at second base -- kept running and scored without a throw.Sale said he was guilty of a brain cramp.Ive got to be at home plate for that, he said.Prados RBI single in the seventh put Miami ahead to stay. Marcell Ozuna snapped a 1-for-28 slump with two hits and drove in a run. Suzuki, who becomes a regular with Stanton out, didnt add to his career total of 3,003 hits but contributed his 13th RBI and scored Miamis final run.Koehler allowed three runs in six innings. Mike Dunn (3-1) pitched a perfect seventh.Chicagos Adam Eaton homered on the games first pitch. Jose Abreu hit an RBI single in the first inning, and a game-tying double that caromed off the third-base bag in the sixth.LATE ARRIVAL2B Andino, recalled from Triple-A to take Stantons roster spot, flew overnight from Las Vegas, landed at 9 a.m. and went directly to the ballpark. I aint complaining, he said. The nine-year veteran went 1 for 3 in his first major league game since 2013.GLOVE GEMS2B Saladino retreated into short center field to make running catches that robbed Prado and Adeiny Hechavarria of hits. The latter grab came with two runners aboard to end the second inning.TRAINERS ROOMMarlins INF Derek Dietrich was sore after being hit by a pitch Saturday for the 22nd time, this time in the right leg. He walked as a pinch-hitter in the eighth Sunday.UP NEXTMarlins: RHP David Phelps (5-6, 2.40) is scheduled to start Monday when Miami begins a four-game series at Cincinnati. The Marlins swept a three-game set from the Reds in July.White Sox: LHP Jose Quintana (9-8, 2.85) is scheduled to start Tuesday when Chicago opens a three-game series at Cleveland. The Indians have won six in a row from the White Sox. ' ' '
