Garland, Rubio, Windler out for Cavs Saturday

The Cavs will be without the services of three players Saturday night.

Darius Garland, Ricky Rubio, and Dylan Winder have been officially ruled out for the Cavs tilt in Chicago Saturday. Cleveland will still have four of their five regular starters in Donovan Mitchell, Caris LeVert, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen when they take on the Bulls.

Garland left the season opening loss to Toronto with an eyelid laceration and missing at least one game is far from a surprise. Windler is still working his way back and his return seems to be coming sooner rather than later. The return of Rubio still appears to be on track for sometime in December.

Even without these three players the Cavs will have a chance to get their first win of the season. Chicago is down two key players in Lonzo Ball and Zach LaVine, making the Bulls path to victory a bit more difficult. This is the type of game Cleveland needs to win and things appear to be lining up for exactly that.

Browns to be down two key starters Sunday

The Cleveland Browns will be without two of their key starters when they take on the Baltimore Ravens Sunday.

The odds appear to be stacking up against the Cleveland Browns this weekend. As expected All-Pro right guard Wyatt Teller will miss the matchup against Baltimore as reported earlier this week. It is now official that Pro-Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward will also miss the contest due to a concussion.

Cleveland’s run game is the primary reason why they have been able to be competitive in five of their six games this season. Being without Teller will put the Browns offense behind the eight ball just a bit. Missing Ward will make a dreadful pass defense somehow worse. Even though Baltimore’s passing attack does not feature any prolific players at the receiver position, but considering how poor Cleveland’s secondary has performed that should not be a problem for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.

Terry Francona to remain Guardians manager

Terry Francona will be back next year for his eleventh season as manager of the Cleveland Guardians. Francona has a 845-671 record in his 10 seasons at the helm in Cleveland.

In 10 seasons under Terry Francona Cleveland has been a successful ball club. Last year’s 80-82 campaign was the only losing season under Tito. Francona did take a leave of absence from the team July 29th with DeMarlo Hale assuming interim manager duties for the final 62 games, compiling a 30-32 record over that span.

Terry Francona has shown he is the right man for the job and has been able to perform managerial magic along the way. Cleveland will look to build on their 92-70 record in 2022 and advance further in the postseason.
