CLEVELAND (AP) -Cleveland center fielder Grady Sizemore was not in the starting lineup Sunday after rolling his ankle while running the bases in the Indians’ win over the New York Yankees a day earlier.
Sizemore, who has played in a major league-high 382 consecutive games, stepped awkwardly on second base during the ninth inning. He stayed in the game, and scored the winning run on Victor Martinez’s bases-loaded single.
Sizemore’s ankle was sore and swollen Sunday. He tried to run on it and took batting practice before manager Eric Wedge decided to rest the All-Star.
Wedge said X-rays were not necessary and that Sizemore would be available to come off the bench.
Sizemore has started in 531 of 549 career games.
