CLEVELAND -- Indians?pitcher Carlos Carrasco?suffered a nondisplaced fracture in his right pinkie finger when he was hit by a line drive off the bat of Detroits Ian Kinsler on the second pitch of Saturdays 1-0, 10-inning victory over the Tigers.Indians manager Terry Francona said after the game that the right-hander will miss the remainder of the season.?Francona and a team trainer immediately went to the mound after Carrasco was hit. The trainer worked with Carrasco to get the feeling back in his hand for several moments before the pitcher walked off the field. X-rays showed the break.?Jeff Manship replaced Carrasco after the infield hit. Using a major league-record nine pitchers in a shutout of nine or more innings since at least 1913, Cleveland opened an eight-game lead over second-place Detroit in the American League Central.Right when it happened, I called [bullpen coach Jason Bere] down there and said, Tell them to put their seat belts on. Because theyre all going to pitch, and were going to win, Francona said. I mean, Carrasco aside, that was a fun game to be a part of.Cleveland has seen its rotation hit by injuries.?Carrasco missed six weeks earlier this season with a strained left hamstring, and right-hander Danny Salazar is expected to miss the rest of the season with a strained forearm. Josh Tomlin has returned to the rotation after going winless in August.But it will make this more challenging, what were trying to do, Francona said. When we do it, it will feel all that much better.On Saturday, the Indians said catcher Yan Gomes will miss six to eight weeks with a broken right wrist, likely ending his injury-plagued season. Gomes sustained a nondisplaced fracture when he was hit by a pitch Wednesday night while on a rehab assignment for Double-A Akron.

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The Bruce Boudreau era has begun for the Minnesota Wild.For the players, the demands will be many. The expectations will be as straightforward as can be. The experience also promises to be a lot of fun.Sometimes he doesnt even know whats coming out of his mouth when hes talking, forward Charlie Coyle said.The rotund new head coach, well-regarded for his regular-season success, well-known for his profane rants and well-liked for his down-to-earth and self-deprecating manner, formally took over Friday for the first two practices of training camp. The squad split into two groups and, in addition to plenty of time with the white board picking up Boudreaus defensive scheme, went through a grueling conditioning test during which skaters had to complete several laps around the rink under certain times.The drills were no joke, but Boudreau made sure to keep the mood light even while barking encouragement to the participants.Were huffing and puffing, Coyle said, and hes still making us laugh.NHL training camps began about a week later than usual because of the World Cup of Hockey, and six Wild players were given a break for the first three days in their transition back home from competition: forward Zach Parise and defenseman Ryan Suter from Team USA, forwards Mikko Koivu, Mikael Granlund and Erik Haula of Team Finland and forward Nino Niederreiter of Team Europe.

He seems to be smiling a little too much. Or, `Hes joking around with me. Is he really joking or is he sarcastic? Boudreau said. I think it takes a little bit of time for guys to get to know me.Impressions are there to be made for the players, most of whom have never played for Boudreau before.Everyones here to get a job and knock people out of their jobs, so everyone came prepared, Coyle said. Its good to see that intensity and that competition right away. ' ' '
