CLEVELAND — With Cleveland's pitching staff in chaos Cheap Leighton Vander Esch Jersey , the Indians will try to regroup Sunday and avoid a three-game sweep by the Minnesota Twins.

Minnesota has won the first two games of the series while roughing up Cleveland's top two starting pitchers, Corey Kluber and Carlos Carrasco. The Twins have won five in a row against their American League Central rivals, outscoring the Indians 36-16.

The Indians' 9-3 loss Saturday was a costly one. Carrasco was knocked out of the game in the second inning when he was hit on the right elbow by a line drive off the bat of Joe Mauer. Carrasco went to a local hospital for tests after the game.

"It hit him right on the elbow. He was hurting," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "They're still doing some scans. Right now, they are calling it a contusion and the hope is that's all it is. We'll know more tomorrow."

Carrasco's early exit caused Francona to use most of his bullpen, including right-hander Adam Plutko, who was scheduled to start Sunday. But those plans changed.

Shane Bieber will be recalled from Triple-A Columbus to start Sunday in place of Plutko.

Bieber made a spot start for the Indians, his major league debut, on May 31 Cheap Chase Edmonds Jersey , coincidentally against the Twins. The Indians won the game 9-8, but Bieber was not involved in the decision. He pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing four runs and eight hits with six strikeouts and one walk.

Bieber has been the Indians' top minor league pitcher in the first half of the season. In a combined 12 starts at Columbus and Double-A Akron, Bieber is 6-1 with a 1.29 ERA. One of those wins was a rain-shortened seven-inning no-hitter for Columbus.

Bieber will have his hands full with a red-hot Minnesota lineup, led by outfielder Eddie Rosario, who has been a one-man wrecking crew against Cleveland this year. On Saturday, Rosario was 4-for-4 with a double, a home run and two RBIs. All four of his hits came on the first pitch.

Against the Indians this year, Rosario is batting .471 (16-for-34) with six home runs and 11 RBIs.

"They are in a special place (offensively) now http://www.chargersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-kyzir-white-jersey ," Francona said. "Rosario, the first pitch you throw him he's just whacking it. We need to throw him some pitches out of the zone. He's hitting everything. They are a good hitting team."

The Twins' Sunday starter will be right-hander Jake Odorizzi (3-3, 4.19 ERA), who has not won since May 8. In six starts since, he is 0-1 with a 4.70 ERA, although a lack of run support has been part of the problem.

The Twins scored three runs or fewer in four of those six Odorizzi starts, the last of which came June 12 against the Detroit Tigers. The Twins won the game 6-4. Odorizzi got a no-decision, pitching five innings, allowing two runs and four hits with four strikeouts and four walks.

Odorizzi earned a no-decision in his last start against Cleveland on May 31. He pitched 3 2/3 innings Falcons Justin Bethel Jersey , giving up eight runs (seven earned) and seven hits with three strikeouts and two walks.

In six career starts against Cleveland, Odorizzi is 1-2 with a 6.33 ERA.

While the Chargers don't have a replacement for Hunter Henry, they do have an idea how to take up the slack for their starting tight end.

The Chargers are putting more on the shoulders of Keenan Allen in the absence of Henry, who tore his ACL in May.

Eric Williams of ESPN reports that "the Chargers will rely even more on Allen to make things happen in critical situations, such as on third down and in the red zone." Allen could spend more time playing the slot in three-receiver formations.

Allen made the Pro Bowl for the first time in his fifth season, catching 102 passes for 1,393 yards and six touchdowns in 2017.

In a three-game stretch against the Bills, Cowboys and Browns, Allen became the first player in NFL history to make 10-plus catches Emmanuel Ogbah Jersey , more than 100 receiving yards and at least one touchdown in three consecutive games.

The Chargers, who have Virgil Green, Braedon Bowman and Sean Culkin among the candidates at tight end, also expect Mike Williams to help. The seventh overall pick was slowed by injuries and made only 11 catches for 95 yards in 10 games in his rookie season.
