CLEVELAND (AP) — Trevor Bauer isn’t going to let a stress fracture in his right leg get in the way of throwing a baseball.Cleveland’s right-hander http://www.redsoxproshops.com/authentic-craig-kimbrel-jersey , one of the leading candidates for the AL Cy Young Award, will be out four to six weeks with the injury, but that’s not stopping him from keeping his arm in shape.Bauer played catch from his knees while wearing a walking boot with an athletic trainer Friday afternoon at Progressive Field, more than four hours before the Indians game against Baltimore.“It’s something I can do every day, something I plan on doing every day, because the overall stress is way less relative to what I’ve been experiencing the whole season,” Bauer said.The right-hander admitted he didn’t take the news very well when he learned he’ll be out for an extended period of time.“I was furious,” he said. “I’ve pretty much felt the same way since.”Indians manager Terry Francona gave the timetable for Bauer’s return Friday. Bauer believes he’ll return sooner.“We’ll find out,” he said. “You’re going to get a very different answer if you ask me that question and if you ask the medical staff that question, so probably should defer to doctors on that.”Bauer was hit by Jose Abreu’s liner Saturday against the Chicago White Sox. He experienced soreness and swelling Chris Sale Jersey , and an MRI revealed the injury Tuesday when he was placed on the 10-day disabled list.Cleveland holds a 12-game lead over Minnesota in the AL Central entering Friday. The right-hander is 12-6 with a 2.22 ERA in 25 starts. He’s third in ERA, second in innings pitched (166) and fourth in strikeouts (214) in the AL.Bauer could return during the regular season in mid-to-late September. Francona knows the pitcher’s arm will be ready.“I think in about 10 days he can throw standing, and then in another 10 days, it’s probably close to the mound work,” Francona said. “My guess is his arm is going to feel pretty good.”Bauer believes some critics haven’t fully recognized the kind of season he’s had to date.“I’m sure there’s plenty of people out there that are happy about the fact that they get to ignore that I’m one of the best pitchers in the league for another year,” he said. “They don’t have to face that reality. …. But, they’ll have to deal with it at some point.” DETROIT (AP) — For five innings, the Houston Astros were one pitch away from blowing an important game.Their relievers never gave the Tigers that pitch.Five Houston relievers threw shutout innings, and the Astros’ three early homers held up in a 5-4 victory over Detroit on Tuesday night.“None of those guys had a margin for error,” Houston manager A.J. Hinch said.Houston maintained a three-game lead over the Oakland Athletics in the AL West.Jose Altuve homered on the first pitch of the game Tyler Thornburg Jersey , and the Astros hit two more homers in the first four innings to go up 5-0.Houston starter Framber Valdez, though, couldn’t maintain that big lead.Valdez allowed four runs in the bottom of the fourth, including a three-run homer by JaCoby Jones. That ended his night and started a parade from the Houston bullpen.Will Harris (4-3) struck out the side in the fifth, allowing one walk, and Joe Smith pitched a perfect sixth.Hector Rondon gave up two hits in the seventh but got out of the jam, and Collin McHugh and Roberto Osuna retired the last six batters in order. Osuna struck out rookie Christin Stewart to end the game and earn his 17th save in 18 opportunities.“It’s hard to pick which was my favorite reliever of the night, because they all came in and were effective,” Hinch said. “The way the game started, I didn’t expect a bullpen day http://www.redsoxproshops.com/authentic-jackie-bradley-jr-jersey , but I looked up and it was suddenly a one-run game.”Jordan Zimmermann (7-7) allowed five runs on six hits in five innings. He walked one and struck out three.“I just didn’t have my best stuff,” he said. “My fastball command wasn’t there, so my first pitch wasn’t where I wanted it and Altuve’s a great hitter. It seems like my starts lately have been very good or very bad.”Detroit got four scoreless innings from its bullpen.“Those guys did a fantastic job of keeping us in the game,” Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said. “They’ve got so many great arms in their bullpen, though, and we could never get one more big hit.”After Altuve gave Houston the early lead, Tony Kemp hit a two-run homer in the second inning.Tyler White hit Houston’s third homer, a two-run shot into the Astros bullpen with one out in the fourth.“We try to get runs any way we can,” White said. “Altuve starting the game with a homer was an unbelievable way to get us going, and then Kempie came up with a big swing.”The Tigers scored all their runs with two outs in the fourth. With runners on the corners Roger Clemens Jersey , Dawel Lugo hit what looked like a routine grounder to short, but the ball took a bad hop and went over Carlos Correa’s head for an RBI single.Jones then lined a 3-1 fastball into the left-field stands for his 11th homer of the season.“I needed to refocus after the bad hop, because that’s something I can’t control,” Valdez said through a translator. “It’s just something that happens.”Jones came into the game hitting .183 with 51 strikeouts in his last 40 games but managed five homers during the slump.“He can always hit a baseball a long way,” Gardenhire said. “The problem comes when he tries to hit home runs. That screws him up, and he starts chasing. When he stays in the strike zone, he’s a good hitter.”Houston missed a chance to add to its lead in the seventh.Louis Coleman hit the first two batters, and a passed ball moved the runners to second and third with one out. Gardenhire intentionally walked Correa, loading the bases, and brought in lefty Daniel Stumpf.Stumpf got Josh Reddick to pop out and was immediately replaced by right-handed Victor Alcantara. Tyler White hit a hard grounder to third and was originally ruled safe after Jeimer Candelario didn’t field the ball cleanly. However http://www.redsoxproshops.com/authentic-andrew-benintendi-jersey , a replay review showed the throw beat White to first, ending the inning.TRAINER’S ROOMAstros: Kemp stayed in the game after being hit on the right elbow by a pickoff attempt from Zimmermann. Alex Bregman (leg) and Yuli Gurriel (arm) both needed attention after being hit by Coleman.UP NEXTThe teams finish the three-game series on Wednesday afternoon with Detroit’s Daniel Norris (0-3, 5.47 ERA) facing Houston’s Gerrit Cole (13-5, 2.86).
