CLEVELAND -- The Indians have placed first baseman Nick Swisher on the paternity list after he and his wife welcomed their first child. The club made the move with Swisher before Tuesdays series opener against Detroit. The first-place Indians, who have won five straight and 18 of 22, lead the Tigers in the AL Central by 2 1-2 games. Infielder Cord Phelps was recalled from Triple-A Columbus to fill the roster opening. Swishers wife, JoAnna, had a girl. He must remain on the paternity list one to three days. Swisher is in his first season with the Indians, who signed him to a four-year, $56 million free agent contract in December. He is batting .274 with six homers and 16 RBIs. Phelps went hitless in three games with the Indians this season. Rickey Henderson Jersey .Y. -- Bills receiver Stevie Johnson has a bone to pick with the NFL schedule maker. Austin Hedges Jersey . Miller reached right to deflect Mikhail Grabovskis attempt with just over 2 minutes remaining in regulation, and then made two more saves in the shootout Sunday to give the Sabres a 2-1 win over the Washington Capitals. http://www.padressale.com/ .C. -- Manny Malhotra had two goals and an assist, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. Eric Hosmer Padres Jersey . DAmigo scored twice in regulation and added the shootout winner as the Toronto Marlies edged the San Antonio Rampage 5-4 in American Hockey League action. Ian Kinsler Padres Jersey . "It was nerve-wracking, but we pulled through," said Collaros, who threw four touchdown passes to lead the Toronto Argonauts (8-4) to a 33-27 win over the Calgary Stampeders (9-3) in front of 28,781 fans at McMahon Stadium. MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Timberwolves are not big into hazing their rookies. If they were, it would be a little awkward for some of the teams veterans to give Kris Dunn a hard time.At 22 years old, Dunn is older than four of his teammates, all of whom have been in the league for at least one season. So if 20-year-olds Karl-Anthony Towns or Tyus Jones wanted a beer on the road, they might need Dunn to buy it for them.If fourth-year pro Shabazz Muhammad started to razz Dunn, all that the No. 5 overall pick in the June draft would have to do is remind him that the two of them were in the same high school graduating class.They try to call me rook. The guys that are younger than me, I tell them it doesnt faze me because Im older than you are. Its kind of irrelevant you guys saying that, Dunn said with a chuckle. Were all just joking around.After overcoming shoulder injuries early in his career at Providence to win the Big East Player of the Year award in his final two years in school, Dunn declared for the draft as a fourth-year junior and surprisingly fell to the Wolves, who boast one of the leagues best young rosters. He is the third-oldest player drafted in the first round.The Baby Wolves include Towns and Jones, 21-year-olds Andrew Wiggins and Zach LaVine, and the 23-year-old Muhammad.New coach and president Tom Thibodeau grabbed Dunn to address one of the teams biggest weaknesses last season -- a physically ready backup to starting point guard Ricky Rubio. And one of the things that appealed most to Thibodeau was Dunns experience in college. On a team with so much youth, Dunns polished game fits well for the present and the future.I like guys that have played in college a long time, Thibodeau said. With Jimmy Butler in Chicago, he played four years. Some people you look at and say, `Well theres not a big upside. Those guys, you look at JJimmy, you look at Draymond Green, those guys have proved a lot of people wrong.ddddddddddddDunn will make his NBA debut on Saturday when the Wolves play the Miami Heat in an exhibition game in Kansas City, Missouri. The Wolves are one of the last remaining teams to have yet to play a preseason game, getting a full two weeks of training camp to absorb Thibodeaus system, and Dunn has made a strong first impression.He knows how to lead a team. Hes aggressive. He wants it. He goes after it, said Wiggins, who added that Dunn is far more ready for the league than he was when he came in as the No. 1 overall pick after one year at Kansas three years ago. He knows what to do. You can tell he knows what hes doing. College teaches fundamentals and he has all of that.Kris coming in as the rookie and hes older than me, Zach, KAT and Wiggs, said Jones, who wont turn 21 until May. Its different. You dont see that every day.So far Dunn has been running the second unit, along with Muhammad, Brandon Rush, Nemanja Bjelica and Cole Aldrich, giving the Wolves a balance between starters and bench that they did not have last year. Long term, he could eventually supplant Rubio as the starting point guard, or morph into a combo guard that can play -- and defend -- both spots in the backcourt.Hes ready for this league, Rubio said. You can tell.Dunn credited the NBA-style system that Friars coach Ed Cooley runs for getting him ready for what Thibodeau is teaching in training camp.I feel like I could adjust to the plays a lot easier. Im learning the game a lot easier because I know so much through college, he said. The people that come out their first year, I dont think they get to be as knowledgeable as they can be doing it all four years. ' ' '
