| (MySportsbook) - Carl Pavano returns to the Bronx this afternoon, as the Cleveland Indians try to follow up one of their most lopsided wins in team history in the conclusion of a four-game set against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. On Saturday, Asdrubal Cabrera's grand slam and RBI single was just a snippet of the damage done by the Indians in an epic second inning, as Cleveland erupted for a remarkable 14 runs in the frame and embarrassed the Yankees, 22-4. The Indians' 14-run second inning tied a |

| (MySportsbook) - Chien-Ming Wang hopes to put two miserable starts behind him this afternoon when the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians resume their four-game series at Yankee Stadium. After a horrific effort to start the season, Wang, who missed most of last season with a foot injury, was even worse in his second trip to the hill on Monday against Tampa Bay, which pounded him for eight runs in just over an inning of work. Wang, a 19-game winner in both 2006 and 2007, has surrendered 15 runs and 15 hits |

It is speculated that Nady may need extended time off due to structural problems with his elbow, but the team did not confirm the prognosis that he may need surgery. He met with team doctors Thursday morning. Nady said he felt pain in the elbow -- on which he had Tommy John surgery in 2001 -- during the seventh inning of Tuesday's 7-2 victory over the Rays.
