CHICAGO -- Cleveland manager Terry Francona just wants Danny Salazar to get healthy. A return to the mound would be a bonus for the Indians.Salazar had an MRI on Monday in Cleveland and will miss three to four weeks with a forearm injury, sidelining the right-hander for the rest of the regular season and casting doubt on his availability for the playoffs.Salazar was examined by Dr. Mark Schickendantz, the Indians head team physician. He was diagnosed with a mild strain to his flexor musculature.When its all said and done, getting the news that we did is probably pretty damn good, Francona said. I mean its musculature as opposed to something with a ligament.Cleveland lost 11-4 to the Chicago White Sox on Monday night, and its lead in the AL Central was trimmed to six games over second-place Detroit. If the Indians make it to the playoffs, a healthy Salazar likely would serve as their No. 3 starter behind Corey Kluber and Carlos Carrasco, but Francona said it was too early to speculate on what he might be able to do in the postseason.The one thing we want to do is get him healthy, make sure he knows hes healthy, because thats important, Francona said, and then if it fits somewhere, good. But the biggest thing is to get him healthy.Salazar will get a platelet-rich plasma injection on Tuesday and stop throwing for approximately 10 days. Salazar had Tommy John surgery in 2010 and missed a couple weeks in August with right elbow inflammation, but Mondays MRI showed his ulnar collateral ligament was intact.The 26-year-old Salazar is 11-6 with a 3.87 ERA in 25 starts. He pitched four innings Friday at Minnesota before he was pulled because of forearm tightness.I think he felt this on one pitch, Francona said.The injury ramps up the pressure on Trevor Bauer, Josh Tomlin and Mike Clevinger, three possibilities for the playoff rotation if Salazar is unable to go. Bauer goes for his third straight win Tuesday against the White Sox, and Tomlin and Clevinger start the final two games of the series.I dont they need to try to do more than they can, Francona said. Every time they start its a big night. Every time somebody does well it helps everybody, but its always the case.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap Nike Air Max Fury Canada .Y. - New Orleans forward Anthony Davis was chosen Friday to replace the injured Kobe Bryant in the NBA All-Star game that will be played in his home city.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- There is no longer a football team at San Francisco State, the Gators long ago having given up on the pricy sport in favor of investing in their other athletic programs.Andy Reid and Dirk Koetter will have to settle for Arrowhead Stadium for a reunion.The Chiefs coach and his Tampa Bay counterpart were both on Vic Rowens staff in 1985, trying to learn the ropes after their own playing days. They would reunite a couple years later at Texas-El Paso, and remained joined at the hip at Missouri, before their paths finally began to diverge.Reid headed for the NFL. Koetter stuck around the college game before making the leap.Hes one of the finest football coaches Ive ever been around. His dad might be the best, Reid said. We were little scrub buckets when we started off together, and we ended here, in Missouri, at the University of Missouri. I definitely saw him as a college coach and then, I figured if he got in the NFL, he would be the head coach there, too. Hes very, very good.Hell have to be at his best to figure out a way to outsmart Reid on Sunday.The Chiefs (7-2) have ripped off five straight wins to climb into a tie atop the AFC West, not to mention join the pursuit of the No. 1 seed in the playoffs. Their defense has been downright dominant, their offense has done enough to get by, and the wins keep piling up.Andy is one of the best, if not the best coach, Ive ever been around, said Koetter, who seemed unsurprised by Reids success. His attention to detail, his ability to teach, the way he motivates guys -- it was a great blessing for me to be able to work with him like I did.Reids path after leaving Missouri took him to a successful run as an assistant in Green Bay, then his own 14-year run leading Philadelphia. But he seemed to be beaten down those last few years with the Eagles, and it took a move to Kansas City for him to feel rejuvenated.Koetter has had his share of bumps, too. He was a rising star after turning Boise State into a powerhouse, but fell into years of mediocrity leading Arizona State. Stints as offensive coordinator in Jacksonville, Atlanta and Tampa Bay earned him the Buccaneers top job.So far, Koetter also appears to be rejuvenated, too.He has Tampa Bay off to an encouraging 4-5 record after a dominant win over the Bears , and the franchise is now eyeing its first winning season since 2010.Im sure they think they can win the rest of theirr games, Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley said.ddddddddddddBut they cant do that without beating Kansas City. Here are some of the keys to the game:UNHEALTHY CHIEFS: Defensive tackle Jaye Howard has been dealing with a hip flexor, cornerback Marcus Peters with a hip pointer, linebacker Derrick Johnson with hamstring spasms, defensive tackle Dontari Poe with a sore knee, and wide receiver Jeremy Maclin with a groin strain.Its unclear whether any will be inactive Sunday.SPEAKING OF HEALTH: Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston could make his season debut against the Buccaneers. The four-time Pro Bowl selection had surgery to repair his left ACL in February, and was added to the roster last week, though he remained inactive for their game at Carolina.He was feeling pretty good last week, Reid said. Well just have to see.ON THE OTHER SIDE, TOO: Tampa Bay running back Doug Martin expects to carry more of the load this weekend. He returned from a hamstring injury that cost him nearly two months to run for 33 yards against the Bears, giving the Buccaneers a big emotional lift.Getting his confidence back, I think thats the No. 1 thing, Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Todd Monken said. I think hell be able to build on that this week.SCRAMBLE, SCRAMBLE: Tampa Bays Jameis Winston and the Chiefs Alex Smith are both threats with their legs, though the Buccaneers do more with designed plays to get their quarterback into space.Hes good outside the pocket, Koetter said. He just has a real feel for that and is a guy that hes a got a rare quality where he will run with it, but hes always got his eyes down the field. A lot of times you find guys that dont want to run it and you find guys that dont want to throw it. Hes one of those guys that has a rare quality, he can do both.EYES ON PETERS: Quarterbacks have avoided Peters after he piled up five interceptions in the first five games. He hasnt had a pick in the past four, but a strip of Panthers wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin last week set up Kansas Citys winning field goal.Hes one of the best corners in the league. He has great eyes, Winston said. Hes able to cover his man and keep his eyes in the backfield. Hes one of the best Ive seen do it.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
