CLEVELAND -- Terry Franconas message to Corey Kluber, Trevor Bauer and Josh Tomlin: You can get all the rest you need over the winter.The Cleveland Indians manager announced Wednesday he plans to use his top three starters on three days for the duration of World Series.Kluber, who dominated the Chicago Cubs in a 6-0 victory in Game 1, will start Game 4 on Saturday in Wrigley Field. Barring any setback, Bauer and Tomlin will go in Games 5 and 6, if necessary, with Kluber potentially available for Game 7.We tried to look at our team and how we best set up, and whats in our best interest to win four games before the Cubs do, and thats how we came to this conclusion, Francona said.Francona admitted that was the plan all along when he pulled Kluber in the top of the seventh on Tuesday night after watching his ace baffle the Cubs over the course of 88 pitches.Hes all set to pitch (Game 4), Francona said. That was probably Plan A.One Kluber set in motion perfectly by keeping Chicago in check before giving way to reliever Andrew Miller after allowing a leadoff double in the seventh with the Indians up 3-0. Kluber was hardly in trouble, but Francona wanted to preserve Kluber for later down the line.You start getting deeper into the game, and if they mount a rally, getting out of that, youre really exerting, Francona said. Youre up around 100 (pitches) or so, I think thats unfair to ask him to come back after doing that.Klubers already come back on three days rest once during the playoffs. He shut down Toronto in Game 1 of the ALCS while throwing 100 pitches over 6 1/3 innings and returned to the mound for Game 4, allowing two runs in five innings of what is still Clevelands only loss of the postseason.The lack of other options -- likely Danny Salazar (who hasnt pitched since Sept. 9) or rookie lefty Ryan Merritt -- combined with Klubers dominance and a seemingly elastic bullpen that includes the overpowering Miller hastened Franconas decision.I think the idea that (Kluber) has already done it, I think hell be a lot more at ease with it, Francona said.Kluber went over 200 innings in the regular season for the third straight year in 2016 but did get a bit of a break in September when the Indians skipped one of his starts so he could deal with a minor quadriceps issue. The way Francona figures it, Kluber will have all winter to relax.The same goes for Bauer and Tomlin, provided Bauers sliced right pinkie holds up after cutting it while repairing a drone before his scheduled start in Game 2 of the ALCS. The Indians pushed his start back a day, but Bauer only made it 21 pitches before the blood from the wound forced him out of the game.Trevors a guy that can pitch all the time, Francona said. Tomlin, we were a little concerned. Hes been pitching great but he doesnt have the biggest frame in the world. But he hasnt pitched that much, so I think were OK. Drew Brees Womens Jersey .

Sam Mills Jersey .Y. - Rob Manfred was promoted Monday to Major League Baseballs chief operating officer, which may make him a candidate to succeed Bud Selig as commissioner. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said he plans to meet with Indians owner Paul Dolan following the World Series to discuss the teams continued use of the controversial Chief Wahoo logo.The smiling, red-faced symbol has stirred strong opinions for years. Manfred said he understands that particular logo is offensive to some people, and all of us at Major League Baseball understand why.Manfred said he also appreciated the segment of fans who are attached to the character, which still appears on some of the Indians caps and sleeves of game jerseys.The Indians ddropped Chief Wahoo as their primary logo three years ago, replacing it with a block C, but that isnt enough for some groups who want it abolished completely.ddddddddddddManfred said he and Dolan agreed to put off discussion until after the Series.During the AL Championship Series, a judge in Canada quashed a last-minute effort to attempt to bar the team from using its name and logo when it played against the Blue Jays in Toronto.
