Sun Aug 18 201903:04LEADING OFF: Cubs-Pirates in Williamsport, CC faces Indians
A look at what's happening around the majors today:LITTLE BIG LEAGUEKris Bryant and the Chicago Cubs take on Josh Bell and the Pittsburgh Pirates in prime time at the MLB Little League Classic in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Cubs left-hander José Quintana (10-7, 4.11 ERA) is 6-0 in eight starts since his last loss on June 22. Mitch Keller (1-1, 7.94) will make his second start for Pittsburgh since being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis. The 23-year-old rookie picked up his first major league win in four starts Monday against the Angels.FAMILIAR FACECC Sabathia (5-6, 4.78 ERA) comes off the injured list for the Yankees to face Cleveland in the finale of a four-game series between American League pennant contenders. The 39-year-old lefty, who spent his first 7½ seasons with the Indians and won the 2007 AL Cy Young Award with them, has been out since July 28 with right knee inflammation. Mike Clevinger (7-2, 3.34) goes for Cleveland. He is 6-0 with a 2.39 ERA in his past eight starts and struck out 10 last year in his only previous start at Yankee Stadium.A YEAR TO FORGETInjuries to the starting rotation have been one reason the defending World Series champion Red Sox are in danger of missing the postseason for the first time since 2015. Chris Sale went on the injured list Saturday with left elbow inflammation, raising questions about whether he will pitch again this season. But on Sunday, World Series hero Nathan Eovaldi will make his first start since April when Boston hosts last-place Baltimore. Eovaldi missed three months after undergoing elbow surgery in April and has worked out of the bullpen since his return. He did not allow a run in three relief appearances over the past week. The Red Sox are 6½ games out of a wild-card spot.INJURY UPDATEThe Toronto Blue Jays await word on rookie third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who left Saturday's game against Seattle because of a sore left knee and went for an MRI.In the second inning, Guerrero cut in front of shortstop Bo Bichette to field a grounder and made an awkward throw across his body. Guerrero finished the inning but did not return in the third. Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said Guerrero "felt a little tweak in his knee."The son of Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero Sr. and a finalist in the Home Run Derby at the All-Star Game in Cleveland, Guerrero leads AL rookies in hits (95) and doubles (22). He homered in Friday's win over the Mariners, his 14th. He's batting .274 with 54 RBIs in 93 games.Guerrero missed more than a month at Double-A New Hampshire last season because of a strained ligament in his left knee.SUSPENDEDThe NL-leading Dodgers will be without pitcher Julio Urìas until September after he accepted a 20-game suspension by Major League Baseball for a domestic violence incident. MLB gave Urìas credit for serving five games while he was on administrative leave in May, leaving 15 remaining to serve without pay.The commissioner's office said Saturday that Urìas has agreed not to appeal the discipline and will participate in an evaluation and treatment program. He can return to the majors on Sept. 2 and is eligible for the postseason. The two-time defending NL champion Dodgers lead the NL West by 19½ games.The 23-year-old lefty from Mexico was arrested in May and accused of shoving a woman. The charges were ultimately dropped, but MLB pursued its own punishment under the league's domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policy.Urìas is 4-3 with a 2.64 ERA and 66 strikeouts in 26 games, including six starts and his fourth save in a three-inning appearance Friday.___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports
