The Cleveland Indians have placed Michael Bourn on the 15-day DL, retroactive to last Sunday. It looks like he will not be able to play any sooner than that, and the 15 days will give the wound on his finger, where he took 5 stitches, enough time to fully heal.

the Bourn status
Michael Bourn received 5 stiches in his right index finger when he was spiked as he made a heads first slide. He will be sidelined until the stitches come out and the wound heals, likely at least 3 days. (He was safe on the play, and it was his 3rd hit of the day) Mike is off to a good start, .333 with 15 for 45 in his first year with Cleveland.
Cosart & Carrasco pitch in relief!
First on my mind this morning is that my thoughts and prayers are with eveyone who was affected by events on the streets of Boston yesterday. It was just one more reminder of the dangers that we live with in today's world.
Last night in Toronto, Gavin Floyd (0-3) was wild in the strike zone against the Jays and they made him pay. Gavin allowed 9 hits and 3 walks in just 4.1 innings of work, and all 4 runs in the Sox' 4-3 loss to the Jays. In 3 starts so far, Gavin has a 6.32 ERA in just 15.2 innings.................In Cincinnati, the Reds rallied late to top the Phillies, 4-2. Freddy Galvis was 1 for 4, playing second base for Chase Utley. Utley hit a pinch 2-run homer for the Phillies 2 runs. I like what Charlie Manuel did this week, playing Galvis 3 days in a row to rest each of his 3 infielders for 1 day and getting Freddy regular at bats for 3 games. Domonic Brown was 1 for 3 and was on board when Utley went deep...........In Oakland, Michael Taylor was 0 for 4 in his first start of the year for the Athletics in their 11-6 win over the Astros.
In Pawtucket, Josh Fields had 4 hits, including a double and 2 home runs, and drove in 4 runs to pace the IronPigs to an 8-3 win over the Red Sox. Tyler Cloyd was the starter, and he put in a 6-inning stint, allowing 3 runs, 2 earned, on 5 hits and 4 walks (too many), and struck out 5. The win went to Justin De Fratus, who tossed a scoreless frame before the Pigs scored 5 in the 8th to secore the win. Joe Savery notched the save................In Hagerstown, Art Charles had a double, his 2nd home run of the road trip and scored 3 times to pace the BlueClaws to a 5-1 win over the Suns. Art has 5 hits and 5 RBI in the last 2 games. Josh Warner was solid, going 6 innings and allowing 1 run on 3 hits and 4 walks, striking out 2 to pick up his first win. Delvi Francisco (2 IP, 2 hits, 1 walk, 3 Ks) and Steven Inch (1-2-3 9th) finished it off.............In Reading, the Senators shut out the Fightin' Phils, 4-0, holding Reading to just 4 hits. Derrick Mitchell and Edgar Duran each had a double. David Buchanan (1-2) was the victim of the non-support, throwing 7 frames, and giving up 4 runs, just 2 of which were earned, on 7 hits, 1 walk, and 6 strike outs........In Clearwater, Hoby Milner was rocked by Daytona, giving up 4 runs on 6 hits and a walk in just 1.2 innings of the Threshers' 8-1 loss. Mike Nesseth (3.1 IP, 2 runs, 3 hits) and Colton Murray (1 IP, 2 runs, 4 hits, 1 walk) did not fare much better, but Brock Stassi came on in the 9th inning and the jack-of-all-trades struck out 2 of the 3 hitters he faced!!
In Columbus, Carlos Carrasco pitched 4 scoreless, hitless frames for the Clippers in relief, picking up a save in Columbus' 4-1 win over Louisville. Carlos retired every hitter he faced save 1, which he plunked!! I told you he does that!! Jason Donald had 2 hits for the Bats.............In Oklahoma City, Jonathan Villar had a single and a triple, stole a base, and scored 2 runs for the RedHawks in their 11-0 win over Memphis. Jarred Cosart threw 3.2 innings of shut out relief, allowing just 3 hits, NO walks, and 3 Ks, and recorded a hold. Jason Jaramillo was 0 for 4 and is off to a woeful 1 for 20 start.........In Las Vegas, Travis d'Arnaud had 3 walks and a 2-run home run, his first of the season for the 51s, who were bombed by Reno, 19-5........In Midland, the Travelers beat the Rock Hounds, 12-4. Mike Cisco tossed another scoreless frame for Arkansas, and he thrown a total of 6.1 innings so far without allowing a run for the Angels affiliate..........In Syracuse, the Bufallo Bisons scored 5 in the 8th to top the Chiefs, 6-1. Bobby Korecky pitched the final 2 innings (1 hit, 1K) for Buffalo............In Toledo, Quintin Berry was 1 for 4 for the Mud Hens, who dropped a 5-4 game to Indianapolis. The Mud Hens are now 3-9 for the year................In Tucson, Fresno outslugged the Padres, 12-11. Jesus Merchan had a walk and scored a run for the Padres.
Last night in Toronto, Gavin Floyd (0-3) was wild in the strike zone against the Jays and they made him pay.

Carlos suspended 8 games
Word has come down from the commisioner's office that Carlos Carrasco has been suspended 8 games for throwing at Youkalis on Tuesday. Harsh, because in my opinion, he was not throwing at him, he was just wild. If you go back over Carlos' career, even in the minors, he has plunked many hitters attempting to pitch inside. So he will have to sit out another week.
Meanwhile, in Cleveland, Nick Swisher drove in Michael Bourn in the bottom of the 9th inning to give the Indians and Justin Masterson a 1-0 win over the White Sox. Bourn had doubled with 1 out in the inning........In Kansas City, Jay Happ won his second straight start in an 8-4 Jays win over the Royals. Happ (2-0, 3.48) went 5 innings, giving up 4 runs on 5 hits and 3 walks and 4 strike outs, throwing 110 pitches, 70 for strikes. It was win #4 for HomeSiders in the major leagues this season............In Miami, the Phillies put up 2 runs in the 10th inning to take a 3-1 victory from the Marlins. The Phillies first run in the 6th inning came when Domonic Brown doubled in Ryan Howard, who had also doubled. They each had 2 hits in the game. Antonio Bastardo struck out all 3 hitters he faced in the 7th inning.
In Reno, Michael Taylor (.410) had a single, a double, his 3rd home run, a walk, and 5 RBI for Sacramento as the River Cats topped the Aces, 16-8. It was the 3rd home run for Mike, who now has 11 RBI in the Cats' first 9 games! Tuffy Gosewisch walked and scored a run, and threw out a runner stealing for Reno..............In Toledo, the Mud Hens edged Louisville 2-1. Quintin Berry had a single, what turned out to be the game winning RBI, and stole a base (#3). Jason Donald was 0 for 4 for the Bats, and is 0 for 12 since his 4-hit game last Saturday..............In Oklahoma City, Memphis beat the RedHawks, 10-6. Jonathan Villar's struggles continue, as he was 0 for 3 with 2 walks in the game. Josh Zeid tossed a scoreless 9th inning for Oklahoma City. Zeid has not allowed a hit in 3 innings of work so far...............In Mobile, Travis Mattair was 2 for 5 with an RBI in a doubleheader for Pensacola. The Blue Wahoos won the opener, 1-0 and the Bay Bears came back for a 2-1 win in the nightcap.............After not getting out of the first inning for Buffalo last week, Tyson Brummett was sent back to New Hampshire, and he started for the Fisher Cats in Binghamton last night. In 3 innings, Brummett allowed 6 runs on 5 hits and 3 walks in the Cats' 15-7 loss to the Mets.............In Midland, D'Arby Myers had a hit, a walk, and scored a run for the Rock Hounds in their 6-5, 12-innings win over the Naturals.
In Reading, Sebastian Valle had 2 hits, including his 2nd home run of the year, and scored 2 runs as Reading beat Erie, 3-1 in the home opener. Albert Cartwright had 3 hits for the Fightin' Phils, and Anthony Hewitt (.346) had another hit, stole a base, and threw out a runner at home!..........In Viera, Carlos Alonso had 3 hits, including a home run and drove in 4 runs to pace the Threshers to a 9-5 win over Brevard County. Ethan Stewart started and did not have anything, lasting just 1.1 innings and allowing 4 runs on 4 hits and 4 walks. Gabriel Arias came on the restore order over the next 4.2 frames, giving up no runs and allowing Clearwater to come back. Arias is 2-0, 0.93 so far! Mike Nesseth allowed a run on 2 hits in 2 innings of work, recording a hold, and Colton Murray tossed a scoreless 9th for Clearwater........In Greensboro, the BlueClaws dropped a 2-1 decision to the Grasshoppers, falling to 1-8, their worst start since the 2006 team started out 0-9. By the way, the 2006 team came back to win the league championship, so do not give up hope just yet!! Mitch Walding (.344) had 2 of the Claws 5 hits. Kevin Brady was very good, going 6 innings and allowing just 1 UNearned run on 3 hits. Andrew Aizenstadt tossed 2 scoreless frames, before Zack Cooper took another tough loss.
