CLEVELAND -- The Indians have been hit hard again. The club placed designated hitter Travis Hafner on the 15-day disabled list with a strained side muscle on Friday, another blow to the AL Central leaders, who put centre-fielder Grady Sizemore on the DL earlier in the week with a bruised knee. "Its a big blow," manager Manny Acta said. Acta said an MRI taken on Hafner showed "issues" with his right oblique muscle. Hafner will be out a minimum of three to four weeks. "Were always optimistic," Acta said. Hafner was injured taking a swing during batting practice on Wednesday in Chicago. He was pulled from the starting lineup and sat out two games. He underwent medical tests in Cleveland before the Indians made the roster move with their most proven power hitter -- and the leagues third-best for average. "Its a 6-foot-3, 240-pound blow," Acta said. "Obviously, hes a big part of our lineup and hes been swinging the bat so good from Day One. But you know what? We have to deal with it. Every team is dealing with some type of injury and its an opportunity for somebody to step up. "What makes it easier for us is that we have a little cushion. We have played well enough for the last month and a half, that its easier for us to take that blow." Hafners batting .345 with five homers and 22 RBIs, and his comeback after several injury-slowed seasons has been one of the keys to the Indians surprising start. Hafner, who is making his sixth career trip to the DL, is eligible to come off the DL on June 2. However, hell likely remain sidelined beyond that date. Acta said filling out his lineup card without Hafner and Sizemore is challenging. "Its kind of tough to substitute those two guys the way they were swinging the bat," he said. "We always mention how much one guy changes the whole lineup. Our lineup was so balanced that we were able to have Michael Brantley hit seventh." The Indians (26-15) have been baseballs biggest surprise through 1 1/2 months. They enter this weekends interleague series against Cincinnati with the ALs best record, and their depth will be tested during a difficult stretch of their schedule minus Sizemore and Hafner. After facing the Reds for three, the Indians will host resurgent Boston before playing three in Tampa Bay and Toronto. Once again, injuries are mounting for Acta. His first season was sabotaged when Sizemore, Asdrubal Cabrera and Carlos Santana were all lost for extensive time. "Its tough, but I think were better equipped this year," Acta said. "Last year, we had to reach down and bring up players we were not expecting to be up here until September. We should be better and whats good about it is that we have a little cushion. "Weve played so well at the beginning that it helps. It would be a lot harder if we would have been playing way under .500 baseball and then our two weapons go down." Acta said hell rotate Shelley Duncan and Travis Buck in at DH, and he can also use Matt LaPorta there on days that catcher Carlos Santana plays first. To take Hafners roster spot, the Indians recalled outfielder Ezequiel Carrera from Triple-A Columbus. The team also recalled reliever Frank Herrmann from the Clippers and optioned infielder Luis Valbuena, who was up with the major league club for just one day. Carrera, 23, was batting .317 with 17 RBIs and 15 steals at Columbus. He made a big impression on the Indians during spring training and Acta is eager to see him play. "Hey," Acta said, "sometimes these guys come up to the big leagues, they are unknown and they can make a big impact and win a couple games for you." Nike Roshe One Floral Print Womens .

The loss was the first under Paul Maurice, snapping the team and Ondrej Pavelecs win streak at four. It was the second time this season the Jets have been shut out. The Jets are in a stretch of three games in four nights, with a home game against Toronto Saturday (TSN 1290) and a road game in Chicago on Sunday (TSN Jets, TSN 1290). MIAMI -- Turns out, the Miami Heat can beat the Brooklyn Nets. And rest hardly led to rust for the two-time defending NBA champions. LeBron James scored 22 points, Ray Allen added 19 and the Heat stayed perfect in this post-season by beating the Nets 107-86 on Tuesday night in Game 1 of an Eastern Conference semifinal series. It was the first win for Miami in five meetings with Brooklyn this season. "Its one," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "But I liked the energy, the activity." Chris Bosh scored 15 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, Dwyane Wade finished with 14 points and Mario Chalmers had 12 for Miami, which recorded at least one regular-season win against every team except Brooklyn, losing four times by a total of 12 points. This one was a different story. A 24-9 run in the third quarter blew things open for the Heat, who hadnt played in eight days after sweeping Charlotte in the opening round. "It was great that we were able to come out the way we did after being off eight days," James said. "We got a lot of work in. We had eight days off of not playing a basketball game but Spo got us in the gym. (We) got each other in the gym. We made each other accountable throughout the layoff and it proved tonight." Deron Williams and Joe Johnson scored 17 points each for the Nets, who got only eight from Paul Pierce and no points from Kevin Garnett in 16 minutes. Game 2 of the best-of-seven series is Thursday night. "This is the defending champs," Nets coach Jason Kidd said. "Its always going to be at a high level and weve got to find a way to match it." James finished 10 for 15 from the field and Allen -- who had never faced his former Boston "Big 3" compatriots Pierce and Garnett in the playoffs -- was 4 of 7 from 3-point land. "He was focused on the job at hand," James said. Miamis lead was 55-52 early in the third quarter after a 3-pointer by Williams, and every indication was that the Heat and Nets -- who played three one-point games and a double-overtime affair in the regular season -- were heading down to the wire again. Not quite. The Heat took off on the 24-9 run over a 7-minute span, with Bosh scoring the first seven points of that burst to get Miami going. Allens 3-pointer pushed the lead to 14, James and Chris Andersen (who left in the fourth with a riight knee contusion) added two free throws apiece and just like that Miamis lead was up to 79-61.dddddddddddd "Its fun when you win the game and you can at least for a night do whatever it is you do, have some dinner, chill at home and exhale a little bit," Bosh said. "When you lose, you cant sleep, your stomach hurts and its not a very good situation." For Brooklyn, the trouble came at an unexpected time. The Nets had the best third-quarter scoring differential in the East after Jan. 1, but were outscored 33-23 in that pivotal quarter in Game 1. It was a hectic news day long before Heat-Nets, with Oklahoma Citys Kevin Durant being announced as the leagues MVP, the firing of Golden State coach Mark Jackson and the NBA saying that Los Angeles Clippers president Andy Roeser would be taking an indefinite leave as part of the fallout related to the Donald Sterling scandal. James two-year reign as MVP lasted 198 games. "We have a new MVP, but when you talk about the best players in the world, hes 1A, 1B with Durant," Kidd said. Pregame lineup moves by both clubs lent more intrigue. Miami brought Shane Battier -- who played 2 minutes, total, in the first round against Charlotte -- back into the starting five, while Brooklyn reinserted Shaun Livingston into its lineup after using him off the bench late in the Toronto series. After never leading by more than seven points against Brooklyn in the regular season, the Heat led by 11 after a drive by James with 3:32 left in the first half. But the Nets closed on a 14-6 run, and Williams first beat-the-clock 3-pointer of the game sent Brooklyn into halftime down 46-43. Williams did it again in the third, but that one only got Brooklyn within 79-66. "It came down to"Our defensive game plan was not executed at all."
