Martinez, on a rehab assignment after opening the season on the injured list with a sore foot, underwent a surgical procedure early Wednesday to address an acute left hamate fracture in his hand. ● Dr. Thomas Graham performed the procedure to have the fractured hook of the hamate bone excised at Lehigh Valley Health Network, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Martinez, one of the stars of spring training camp, is expected to return to full game activity in 5-7 weeks. ■ Starting pitcher Ben Lively must still be added to the roster ahead of Wednesday’s contest. Lively has been on the injured list since coming down with a viral infection during spring training. Cleveland must make at least one roster move to clear a spot for Lively, and likely another in order to make room for Avila■ Avila, designated for assignment by the Padres on April 12, bounced between San Diego’s bullpen and starting rotation last season, posting a 2-2 record and a 3.22 ERA in 14 appearances (six starts).

Well from "eye candy" to one of my other all time favorites my wife's. NJ'S ROASTED CHICKEN with POTATOES, ONIONS & CARROTS umm-umm. We had it last Sunday also great on ● GAMEDAYS ● too ! Here's the very easy homemade recipe. You don't have to have an elaborate recipe to enjoy a good meal in fact tonight I had one of my all time favorites ROASTED CHICKEN with POTATOES, ONIONS and CARROTS ummm-ummm. ● Here's my wife's old family recipe for ROASTED CHICKEN. ● NJ'S ROASTED CHICKEN with VEGTABLES. [ADD extra vegetables if you like.] So easy we started with about a 4 to 7 (as desired) pound roasting chicken, salt the inside and thoroughly rinse and dry. Brush the outside of the chicken with a mixture of melted butter and olive oil. - Season the outside with salt, pepper and Hungarian paprika. - Top the chicken with a mixture of dried herbs - sage, lemon thyme and parsley. Then drizzle on a little more olive oil. ▪︎ NOTE: We grow and dry our own herbs which tend to be stronger than store bought. Just be careful with quantities. Roast in a preheated 350 degree oven per weight of your chicken, approximately 20 minutes per pound or until internal temperature is 165 degrees and juices run clear. While the chicken is cooking prepare and cook your potatoes, onions and carrots first cut them to desired sizes. Then season and cook until browned and fork tender. (see our Roasted Rosemary Vegetables recipe) When chicken is done let rest before carving and enjoy ! ● NJ'S ROASTED ROSEMARY VEGETABLES from an old family recipe

I like the wood scale .... and it's true. Like the bat scale from whiffle ball bat to the Louisville Slugger. You need to "fill those pants up" .... from Jim Tressel when he was at YSU. And when he got those pants filled up they won 4 of 6 NC tries. It does start up front.
