BALTIMORE -- Injuries and illness have crippled the Baltimore Orioles in recent days, and life will not get much easier when they face the American League Central-leading Cleveland Indians on Friday night at Camden Yards.The Indians send out right-hander Trevor Bauer (7-3, 3.36 ERA) against rookie right-hander Dylan Bundy (2-2, 3.70), making just his second start. Bauer is one of four strong starting pitchers who have given the Indians a big lead in the AL Central early in the second half of the seasonCleveland last played on Wednesday and Tyler Naquin belted two homers and finished with six RBI as the Indians hit five homers in an 11-4 victory over the defending World Series champion Kansas City Royals. The Indians held a 7 1/2-game lead over Detroit before the Tigers played Thursday night.The solid starting pitching could give the power-hitting Orioles trouble in this series. Cleveland.com reported Thursday that the Indians rank second in the AL in strikeouts, something that has been a problem for Baltimore at times this season.MLB.com reported that Naquin has hit all 12 of his homers since coming from the minors on June 2 and that hes hitting .327 in 113 at-bats and giving the Indians plenty of punch.I believe that if you put in the right work, if you work for something and it happens, you shouldnt be surprised at all, he said on MLB.com.Home runs were an issue when Bundy made his first start last weekend against the Rays. He gave up three in 3 1/3 innings in a loss to Tampa Bay after turning in several longer relief appearances.Its doubtful that Bundy would make it past five innings as 3 1/3 innings is his longest effort this season. The Orioles turned to him as theyre desperately looking for a starter to give some solid early innings and then they could turn it over the bullpen while Bundy would eventually stretch himself out as time goes on.What makes everything even tougher is that the Orioles have been hit with a number of injury and illness issues in recent days, a big reason they slid out of first place after losing Wednesday. They ended a four-game slide with a 4-1 victory over the New York Yankees on Thursday afternoon.A stomach bug/virus is working its way through the clubhouse and has sidelined Chris Davis (three games), Manny Machado (Wednesday, but he came back Thursday) and manager Buck Showalter (out Wednesday, back Thursday).It also hit closer Zach Britton and Matt Wieters last week, but they didnt miss any time. A few coaches also got knocked down by with the virus.As for the injuries, Hyun Soo Kim got put on the disabled list earlier in the week. Adam Jones (back spasms) missed Thursdays game as did fellow outfielder Joey Rickard (thumb injury). Matt Wieters (sore foot) sat out for a third straight game but might return Friday, if all goes well.Wieters is close. Im hoping its kind of day to day, Showalter told MASN.com after Thursdays win. Adam, Im hoping its not very long. Im hoping he can play tomorrow, but he had some back spasms. It was toward the end of the game last night.He actually felt it a little bit early. Chris worked his way through. He knew we were short. We only had 10 players. Yeezy 350 v2 Sesame For Sale . Houston won 3-0 to advance to face New York in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The 26-year-old Ireland striker, who has four goals this season, has signed a three-and-a-half year contract with his new club. Chad Townsend has emerged as one of the surprise packets of the NRL season, including to his Cronulla halves partner James Maloney.Maloney and Townsend have formed one of the NRLs most lethal scrumbase combination this season, in just their first year together, piloting the Sharks to 14 successive wins and the premiership lead.Sydney Roosters premiership winner Maloney was one of the pre-seasons biggest moves after he left Bondi for the Shire. Townsends move from the Warriors didnt receive nearly as much hype, but it has been almost as important.I always thought he had developed over there with the Warriors, Maloney told AAP.But he has probably surprised me just how well he has been playing. He has just been so consistent and we are reaping the rewards of that.Townsend was again a key figure in the Sharks win over the Roosters on Monday.But Maloney warned Cronulla needed to continue to improve in the run-in to the finals ahead of their round 20 clash with hapless Newcastle at Shark Park on Sunday.There are a few games we have got by but we havent been where we should be which is not a huge issue because we need to be playing our best footy down the track, he said.But the amount of points we let in against the Roosters wasnt good enough, there were some tries we should have stopped.Maloney, who led the Roosters to three straight minor premierships and the 2013 title, said he felt for his former teammmates, who are languishing in second-last place on the NRL ladder, ahead of only the Knights.ddddddddddddIt is hard to watch but they are big boys they will be alright, it is a tough year but they will come out the other side and be better for it, Maloney said.Cronulla welcome back the suspended Andrew Fifita for their clash with Newcastle, who they beat 62-0 at Hunter Stadium earlier this year. Faamanu Brown falls out of the Sharks side.Dane Gagai returns at fullback for the Knights from a quad injury.Robbie Rochow and Sione Matautia are missing through injury for the visitors.
