However the man who would have made way for Amla

Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - The Cleveland Indians have acquired infielder John McDonald from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for a player to be named and/or cash considerations. The 38-year-old McDonald was just 2-for-31 (.065) in 16 games with the Pirates this season before being placed on the 15-day disabled list with a back injury on May 15. McDonald returns to the team that drafted him in the 12th round (363rd overall) of the 1996 MLB Draft. He played for the Indians from 1999-2004, hitting .231 with four home runs and 33 RBI during that span. In 15 seasons with the Indians, Blue Jays (2005, 2006-11), Tigers (2005), Diamondbacks (2011-12) and Pirates, McDonald has a .237 career batting average with 27 home runs and 202 RBI over 970 games. Primarily a shortstop, McDonald also has experience at second and third base as well as left field. He has a career fielding percentage of .972. In addition, the Indians transferred Brett Myers to the 60-day disabled list. Myers has been shut down since April 19 with a UCL tear. He is 0-3 in four appearances, including three starts, this season with a 8.02 earned run average over 21 1/3 innings. Morgan Schneiderlin Jersey . Paul Pierce couldnt believe he missed at the end. Young scored a season-high 26 points to spark a huge effort from the leagues most productive bench, and Los Angeles beat the Brooklyn Nets 99-94 on Wednesday night after blowing a 27-point lead. Eliaquim Mangala France Jersey . -- Cam Newton pranced into the end zone, placed his hands over his chest and did his familiar Superman pose. http://www.nationalfrancesoccer.com/moussa-sissoko-france-jersey/ .ca! Kerry, Two nights after the Scott-Eriksson incident in Buffalo, the Bruins returned home to play San Jose. In that game, Zdeno Chara put a check on Tommy Wingels that clearly targeted his head. Laurent Koscielny France Jersey . Now, with Game 6 set for Fenway Park and an 8:07 p.m. ET first pitch, the Detroit Tigers face the unenviable task of having to beat the Boston Red Sox twice, on the road, to advance to the World Series. Samuel Umtiti Jersey . The Nashville Predators were glad their captain was still on their side. Weber had a goal and two assists, and Roman Josi scored the shootout winner to lift the Predators to a 4-3 win over the Flyers on Thursday night. The debutants Brendon Julian handed ODI caps to Joe Mennie and Chris Tremain before the toss, which resulted in the pair of pacemen sharing the new ball on debut. This was a difficult examination for the inexperienced pair, trying to subdue South Africa on a shirtfront of a Wanderers pitch, and both were to cop a fair degree of punishment even though both were able to beat the bat numerous times early on. Ultimately Tremain emerged with a little more credit, bowling well at the death and claiming a wicket. But figures of 1 for 78 and 0 for 82 werent much to write home about.The omission The sight of Hashim Amla sitting on the sidelines, despite apparently being passed fit to play, was a surprise to many, not least the former South Africa captain Kepler Wessels, who remarked in commentary that he was astonished by the call. However the man who would have made way for Amla was Rilee Rossouw, who proceeded to reward the selectors faith by compiling an excellent 75, characterised by plenty of crisp off-side strokes.The futile chase Steven Smith tried his best as captain to restrict the scoring rate, but his frustrations at not being able to do so were summed up when he gave chase to a Faf du Plessis straight drive midway through the innings.dddddddddddd The Wanderers outfield was a little more mottled than usual, resulting in the occasional bobble, but du Plessis stroke was well-timed enough to beat Smith to the rope. In his flailing effort to get there, Smith crashed hard into the advertising hoardings beyond, and rose gingerly and ruefully from his chase.The starts An unsettling pattern has emerged in the first two matches of the series for Australia, that of South Africas batsmen being able to go on to big scores and strong partnerships while the visitors are unable to do the same. This time around no fewer than six Australian batsmen were able to make it to double figures, but none could better Travis Heads 51, admittedly his highest ODI score to date. Smiths dismissal was typical of the run of play, strangled down the leg side through an excellent catch by Quinton de Kock after looking in control. ' ' '
