CLEVELAND -- Trevor Bauer, the Cleveland Indians starting pitcher in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday, was knocked out before it even began -- by Trevor Bauer.Or, more accurately, by a drone he was cleaning.Bauer, a devotee of drones, has been scratched from his scheduled start in Game 2 after suffering a lacerated small finger on his right hand while doing some routine maintenance on the drone, according to Indians manager Terry Francona. The wound required several stitches on the outside of the finger.This was not malicious, Francona said. He wasnt doing something that, I mean, he could have been opening a box in the kitchen. Things happen. I wish it wouldnt have, but it wasnt done maliciously. It wasnt done by being silly. It just happened.Because it happened, Josh Tomlin, who was scheduled to start the third game of the series, will now start in place of Bauer in Game 2. Bauers start has been moved back to Game 3, which will be played Monday in Toronto.Francona said Indians doctors believe that two extra days of rest should be enough to allow Bauer to make that start Monday. In the meantime, Tomlin will try to extend the momentum the Indians gained from a brilliantly pitched Game 1 on Friday night, when starter Corey Kluber and relievers Andrew Miller and Cody Allen combined on a seven-hit shutout in a 2-0 victory.The Blue Jays will also be dealing with an injury in Game 2, perhaps an injury even worse than Bauers. Toronto second baseman Devon Travis was removed from Fridays game in the fifth inning with a leg injury. Travis injured a knee while covering first base on a bunt in the fifth inning. He immediately left the game.It hurts pretty bad, Travis said. I felt good going into the game. I covered first on that bunt and jarred my knee a little bit. I felt a super sharp pain in my knee and it felt like it was going to give out a little bit.Travis, who missed Games 3 and 4 of the Division Series with Texas because of a right knee bruise, will have an MRI on Saturday.The Blue Jays added infielder Ryan Goins to their ALCS roster as an insurance against Travis not being able to play and probably didnt think they were going to have to make the switch this soon. Goins will almost certainly start at second base in Game 2.The pitching matchup will be Tomlin against Toronto left-hander J.A. Happ. Tomlin is 1-0 with a 3.60 ERA in the postseason. In his last start, he pitched five innings and was the winning pitcher in the Indians Division Series-clinching 4-3 victory over the Red Sox in Boston last Monday.It doesnt affect me at all, Tomlin said of his start being moved up one day. It will be on my fifth day. Ill be on normal rest.Happ, 33, has had a career year, going 20-4 with a 3.18 ERA. His one start against the Indians was a beauty. In a 17-1 win on July 3, he pitched seven innings, allowing one run and five hits with 11 strikeouts and no walks. In six career appearances (five starts) against Cleveland, he is 3-1 with a 2.86 ERA.I didnt expect him to win 20 games, to be honest with you, Toronto manager John Gibbons said. Hes come together in the later stage of his career and I figure hell be good for a number of years to come.Tomlin was 0-1 with a 6.10 ERA in two starts against Toronto this year. In five career starts against the Blue Jays, he is 1-1 with a 5.53 ERA. Custom Pete Rose Jersey . SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. Pete Rose Jersey Large .

MONZA, Italy -- Fernando Alonso has predicted McLaren can finish 2016 on the tail of Red Bull due to the type of circuits on the calendar after this weekends Italian Grand Prix.?Alonso recorded an impressive drive to seventh from the back row the grid in Belgium, capitalising on early chaos but also displaying genuine pace later in the race. Afterwards the Spaniard said such a strong result at Spa would have been unthinkable earlier in the season, while Honda said the race confirmed recent progress.Though he is expecting a tough race in Monza, the most power dependent circuit on the calendar, Alonso has high hopes for the subsequent races.?Well, I think it was good progress, Alonso said in reference to the Spa result. Obviously we stayed away from trouble at the first corner and then all the things that happened in the first couple of laps happened in the first couple of laps just happened in front of us. It was part of luck, lets say, that recovery, and part staying calm.We had a clear instruction from the team that we have two sets of medium tyres which most people didnt have, so to take advantage of that strategy we had to run very long the first stint. To run very long first stint is not to break the nose at the start! So we were very calm in the first couple of laps and it payed off with the red flag. But even withouut the red flag I think we were in the points anway.ddddddddddddA good recovery and hopefully we can start a little higher up but this is the most difficult race of the year for us despite recent progress. I think we are still struggling here a lot. After this one, from Singapore onwards, we will enjoy these coming races because I think this car is capable of getting both McLarens into Q3 and in the points from now on.Asked if that was confirmation McLaren was moving forward, Alonso simply said: No, I think the biggest confirmation will come soon.When asked if he meant Singapore, the twisty street circuit which should hide any lingering Honda power deficit and emphasise McLarens belief in its own chassis, Alonso insisted it would be more than one race.Not only Singapore, I think Suzuka, Austin, and especially Abu Dhabi, I think will be very good. Even last year we expected a lot in Singapore and we were OK but we were not as good as Austin and especially Abu Dhabi. For whatever reason Abu Dhabi was really strong for us last year so I think it imagine this year we can really enjoyed it.Alonso was then asked how good he expected to be in those races, he said: Lets try to be just behind Red Bull.
