CLEVELAND -- After weeks of being broken and bloodied, the Indians pitching staff may have reinforcements in the World Series.Starter Danny Salazar, who hasnt pitched since Sept. 9 because of tightness in his right forearm, has thrown well in recent bullpen sessions and might be able to pitch for the first time in this postseason.Manager Terry Francona said Friday that Salazar has let it go during some recent workouts and has not been restricted to throwing only fastballs and changeups.I think hes ready to pitch, Francona said as the AL champions awaited their Series opponent.Salazar will throw a three-inning simulated game Saturday and the Indians will assess his status before deciding whether to have him on their World Series roster. Salazar went 11-6 with a 3.87 ERA in 25 starts, but Francona said its possible the hard-throwing right-hander could be used in relief.I think the good news is if Danny pitches, and he pitches healthy and hes throwing the ball over the plate, we have a really good pitcher for however amount of innings hes built up for, which can potentially help us, he said.The loss of Salazar and Carlos Carrasco, who broke his right hand when he was hit by a line drive Sept. 17, has forced Francona to juggle his rotation and be creative with a bullpen which has been extraordinary in October.But a healthy Salazar would give Francona an interesting weapon as he might be able to pair him with rookie Ryan Merritt for a start or use him with Mike Clevinger.The Indians are also hoping Trevor Bauer will be available after his Game 4 start in the AL Championship Series lasted less than an inning when his stitched right pinkie opened up and he had to be replaced because of excessive bleeding.Bauer sliced his finger open while repairing a drone prior to the ALCS, an unusual accident that put added strain on Clevelands staff.Bauer said Friday that his finger is healing and hes confident the added rest before the series opens will allow him to pitch. The quirky right-hander was asked when hed be ready.Game 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, he said.Francona was told of Bauers comments.That would be a little better than the last series, he said sarcastically.Francona said the team met with hand specialist Dr. Thomas Graham to discuss Bauers progress. After Bauer workout out on Friday, Graham was going to add another suture.He thinks its healing really good, theres just that one area down at the bottom where the skin isnt quite as healthy as the rest of it, Francona said. So hes going to suture it back up so it wont bleed. Thats really the only issue. And hes very confident that this is not going to be an issue.Indians ace Corey Kluber is expected to start Tuesdays Series opener, but Francona has not made any formal announcement as he wants to get through the next two days before setting his rotation.

SEVILLE, Spain -- Leonardo Bonucci and Mario Mandzukic scored late to give Juventus a 3-1 win at 10-man Sevilla on Tuesday and a spot in the Champions League knockout phase.Sevilla took an early lead when Nicolas Pareja struck a long-distance volley that Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon didnt appear to see as the ball skimmed through a crowded area.Sevillas Franco Vasquez was sent off for two yellow cards in quick succession midway through the first half and Claudio Marchisio equalized with a penalty just before the break.Bonucci and Mandzukic then found the net in the final 10 minutes.Juventus, the five-time defending Serie A champion, leads Group H with 11 points, one more than Sevilla, the three-time defending Europa League champion.Lyon is next with seven points after beating Dinamo Zagreb 1-0 in the other group game, while Zagreb is last with none.Sevilla plays its last group game at Lyon while Juventus hosts Zagreb.Weve achieved our first objective of the season. But weve got to win against Dinamo Zagreb also. Nothing is a given in football, Bonucci said. We knew it would be difficult here and they scored with their first shot. But we did well to react and bring home the qualification.The build up to the match at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan was marred when a Juventus fan was stabbed during clashes the night before the game in a confrontation at a bar near the city center.Juventus was without prized forward Gonzalo Higuain due to a minor injury and Sevilla dominated early on, taking the lead when Juventus failed to clear a corner.Buffon is rarely beaten from beyond the area, especially by a volley from a center back, but the goalkeepers view of Parejas shot seemed to have been obstructed by a crowd of players.Parejas only other goal in the Champions Leeague came in his competition debut in 2006 with Anderlecht.ddddddddddddStill, Juventus four-man defense appeared confused.Juventus usually plays with a three-man back line but coach Massimiliano Allegri decided to shake things up with Andrea Barzagli and Medhi Benatia out injured and Giorgio Chiellini on the bench still working his way back to fitness.About 10 minutes later, Sergio Escudero nearly doubled Sevillas lead, shooting just over the bar at the end of a counterattack.Sevilla dominated the opening 20 minutes and it wasnt until Mandzukic shot wide to waste a good look inside the area in the 27th that Juventus even threatened.In first-half added time, Bonucci was held inside the area as he fought for position on a corner, resulting in Marchisios penalty.Sevilla goalkeeper Sergio Rico was well positioned to stop Marchisios poor spot kick but he let the ball go right underneath him.Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli was sent off early in the second half for protesting, having already irritated the match officials about the penalty before the break.Despite the man advantage and dominating possession, Juventus struggled to create opportunities in the second half.But then it was Bonuccis turn to be the center back who scored from long range. He too took advantage of a failed clearance to blast in a long, low effort that was slightly deflected -- a near replica of Sevillas opener.Once they were a man down they closed all of the spaces and we had trouble finding space, Bonucci said. But fortunately, my left foot gave us a hand.Mandzukic sealed it by beating the offside trap and fooling a defender before curling a shot around the onrushing Rico. ' ' '
