    Major League Baseball roundup

    Cleveland's pitching staff ailing

    The Cleveland Indians will be without two starters to begin the season with right fielder Lonnie Chisenhall joining Jason Kipnis on the disabled list.

    Chisenhall hurt his right shoulder when he crashed into an outfield wall last week and will not be ready when the AL champions open the season on Monday in Texas.

    Kipnis has been sidelined with right shoulder inflammation and may not join the Indians until later in April.

    With Chisenhall out, Indians manager Terry Francona said Abraham Almonte will be on the opening-day roster. Almonte played in 68 games for Cleveland last season before he was suspended 80 games for violating Major League Baseball's drug program. He was ineligible for the postseason.

    "He really is deserving," Francona said of the switch-hitting Almonte, who entered Wednesday with a .383 average, three homers and 12 RBIs in 18 Cactus League games. "He's done a terrific job."

    Twins 5, Red Sox 3

    ByungHo Park hit a two-run homer and drove in three runs for Minnesota. Park's drive to left in the eighth was his sixth of the spring.

    Twins right-hander Ervin Santana allowed three runs and nine hits in 4 2/3 innings.

    Xavier Bogaerts and Pablo Sandoval homered for Boston. Rick Porcello, who will start on opening day for the Red Sox, pitched four innings of two-run ball.

    Yankees 3, Blue Jays 1

    Jordan Montgomery kept alive his bid for a spot in the Yankees rotation, tossing five innings of one-run ball.

    New York reassigned infielder Tyler Wade to minor league camp, likely paving the way for Ronald Torreyes to start at shortstop on opening day with Didi Gregorius sidelined by a strained right shoulder.

    Toronto left-hander J.A. Happ allowed two hits and one run in four innings.

    Braves 2, Mets 2

    Adonis Garcia had an RBI double for Atlanta, and Blake Lalli homered.

    T.J. Rivera singled in a run for the Mets, and Tim Tebow went 0 for 3 with a walk.
