CLEVELAND (AP) — for the first time since breaking his right leg last month and hopes to be back on the mound for Cleveland in time for the postseason.The right-hander pitched three simulated innings of about 17-to-19 pitches per inning and jokingly told manager Terry Francona he was available against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night.“I’m glad he feels that way http://www.rockiesfanproshop.com/authentic-pat-valaika-jersey ,” Francona said. “I don’t think that’s going to happen, but it’s nice to hear him say that.”Bauer is 12-6 with a 2.22 ERA in 25 starts. He has been sidelined since he was struck on the lower leg by a line drive off the bat of Chicago’s Jose Abreu on Aug. 11.He pitched to Indians reserves Eric Haase, Adam Rosales and Brandon Barnes.“The biggest takeaway is that I was able to completely focus on competing instead of being worried about or noticing if there’s any discomfort,” Bauer said. “I didn’t really think about it at all, and that’s the most important thing.”Bauer hopes to pitch in a game before the regular season ends Sept. 30. Francona said a meeting will be held with Bauer and the team’s medical staff.“The quicker we can get him in a game without risk the better,” Francona said.Indians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti says the team has discussed using Bauer as a reliever in the postseason. Tim Tebow could potentially be headed to the major leagues in 2019.New York Mets general managerBrodie Van Wagenen is apparently a believer in the former NFL star Daniel Castro Jersey , saying Tuesday that he won't rule out the possibility of Tebow making the team's Opening Day roster, according to Jon Morosi of MLB Network.Van Wagenen noted that the outfielder is likely to begin the year in Triple-A, however.The 31-year-old is coming off his second season in professional baseball, spending the entire year in Double-A with theBinghamtonRumble Ponies. In 84 games, he hit six home runs while posting a .273/.336/.399 slash line.Although he was nearly seven years older than the average hitter in the Eastern League, perBaseball Reference ttp://www.rockiesfanproshop.com/authentic-tony-wolters-jersey , his numbers were respectable given his lack of experience.Previous general manager SandyAlderson, who originally signed Tebow in 2016, thought he would eventually make it to the bigs."I think he will play in the major leagues,"Aldersonsaid last February, perMichaelDiRoccoof ESPN.com. "That's my guess. That's my hope, and to some extent now after a year and a half Kyle Freeland Jersey , a modest expectation."While there is now a new leader of the organization,VanWagenenapparently also likes what he has seen from the outfielder.
