KANSAS CITY, Mo. Air Max 90 Wholesale Uk . -- The Kansas City Royals and Cleveland Indians lineups may have some different faces Wednesday.Not only is it an afternoon game after a night game, but the temperature is forecasted to reach 97 degrees with a heat index of close to 110 and a humidity of 60 percent.An extreme hot and humid day will likely force managers Ned Yost of the Royals and Terry Francona of the Indians to rest some usual starters.You almost have to because the heat is stifling and the heat index is going to be even worse, Yost said. At least when the sun goes down, its bearable out here.But you can see you have to be prepared. You saw what happened to (Corey) Kluber last (Monday) night. He just got dehydrated and started suffering cramps.Kluber left after some warmup pitches in the eighth inning with his right calf cramping.Were going to have to look and see who needs a break, probably Salvy for sure, Yost said.Salvador Perez not only started the All-Star Game, but has caught the first five games after it. Expect Drew Butera to be behind the plate for the first pitch Wednesday.In addition, left-fielder Alex Gordon could use a break. He is 2-for-17 since the All-Star break, dropping his average to .200. He has struck out four times in seven at-bats against the Indians, bringing his strikeout total to an alarming 72 in 215 at-bats.Plus, Gordon is a .154 hitter, 4-for-26, off Indians right-hander Carlos Carrasco, who starts Wednesday. However, two of Gordons hits off Carrasco are home runs.Rookie Brett Eibner, who has sat out the past four games after playing Friday, will almost certainly start Wednesday somewhere in the outfield. Christian Colon will likely start somewhere in the infield.Outfielder Michael Brantley not only will not be in the Indians lineup Wednesday, but could be out for the remainder of the season after another setback on his shoulder while rehabbing with Double-A Akron.Were not to that point, yet, Indians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti said. We want to try to first understand whats going on. What is causing this to continue to happen? What is the root of the soreness he is experiencing now? And, how do we help him through that?Brantley, who has been limited to 11 games this season because of the shoulder issues, will have an MRI Wednesday. He hit .327 with 20 home runs and 97 RBI in 2014 and .310 with 15 home runs and 84 RBI in 137 games last season, but had shoulder surgery in November.There has been a couple times where hes come up to me and apologized, Francona said. His effort has been incredible. All the reasons we want him back, and the admiration we have for him, doesnt go away when his shoulder hurts.Eric Hosmer has a .333 average, 7-for-21, off Carrasco, which is the best of any of the Royals hitters with at least 14 at-bats. Rookie Whit Merrifield went 2-for-3 with a home run earlier this season in his only time seeing Carrasco.The Royals will start right-hander Ian Kennedy, who will be facing the Tribe for the fourth time this season. He is 2-1 with a 4.12 ERA in his first three starts. He is 3-3 with a 4.02 ERA in eight starts against American League Central clubs this season.

The recent years of impressive progress at the Liberty Stadium looked as if they might come to a juddering halt when an autumnal run of one win in 13 league games sent them into relegation danger.I dont think anyone saw that coming but it happens in football and its down to the players to get us out of the position were in now because, at the end of the day, we cant get relegated, says Sigurdsson. We want to stay in the Premier League and its a massive thing for the club to stay up next year with the television money coming in. And for us as players, we dont want to have a relegation on our CV. Sigurdsson believes Swansea have more than enough to retain their Premier League status The 26-year-old has been a key performer since the turn of the year, his seven goals in the last 11 matches going a long way to alleviating relegation fears. So, has Sigurdssons form turned things around for Swansea? Or has the teams improved performances brought the best out of the player?I think its both, he says. Personally 2016 has been a very good year. Ive been scoring a lot of goals but I think it comes down to the team playing better football as well. Were picking up more points. Were playing a little bit better than we were. In October and November we were playing really badly but now were doing better and creating a lot of chances. Its just down to the players up front to put them away now. We hear it said in the modern game that certain teams have an identity. It was used as a stick to beat Sam Allardyce during his time at West Ham, when supporters were less than happy with performances; that wasnt the West Ham way, they said. Former Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers often used phrases like Our DNA during his time at Liverpool, as if to claim some unique characteristic that set his club apart. These are blurred areas, often mistaken for simpler distinctions between winning and losing. Gylfi Sigurdsson has been in good goalscoring form for Swansea since the turn of the year But there is no doubt Swansea gained a reputation for a particular style of football since Roberto Martinezs arrival in 2007, which saw them through to the Premier League under Rodgers. The side has continued to evolve, but Sigurdsson believes that was part of the problem earlier this season.I think somewhere along the line we went away froom what were all about. Authentic Air Max 270. Because if you look at the last six or seven years and what Swansea are known for, I think we didnt perform like we used to. We didnt pass the ball like we used to and defend like we once did. We used to win the ball high up the pitch then keep the ball. Sigurdsson found the net from the penalty spot against fellow relegation rivals Sunderland When Garry Monk departed in December, it was club hero and long-serving coach Alan Curtis who took temporary charge. His first match brought an unlucky defeat away to Manchester City, but from that game on the team started to return to the style Sigurdsson talks about. After a long spell on the sidelines, Leon Britton had been restored to the starting XI in the final games of Monks reign, and his tenacity and passing in the midfield holding role helped the team build from a solid base once more.Curtis was ready to take a backseat again when Francesco Guidolin arrived from Italy to take charge of the team in January. But an illness to the 60-year-old Italian thrust Curtis into the limelight once more. Alan Curtis has been in the dugout in the absence of Francesco Guidolin Hes been fantastic, really good, Sigurdsson says of Curtis. All of the boys look up to him and he knows the club inside out. He knows what it means to the club and the city to stay in the Premier League. But of course hes also very experienced and very calm and hes done very well in the absence of the manager and the time before that when he and Dave Adams were taking charge of the team. When Garry left, Curt stepped in and steadied the ship. He took charge for a few games and our performances improved. I think hes very important for us.So what do Swansea need to do between now and the end of the season to ensure their survival for another season?Its a case of just going back to what were good at and playing the football that we used to play; exciting attacking football and keeping the ball with a lot of pressure in the team. If we can do that well be more than fine.Watch the full interview with Johnny Phillips and Gylfi Sigurdsson on Soccer Saturday from 12noon on Sky Sports News HQ, and watch Swansea v Aston Villa on Saturday Night Football from 5pm on Sky Sports 1 HD Also See: Guidolin back for Villa visit Mersons predictions Premier League questions Live on Sky ' ' '
