They remain the only team in the big leagues that has never thrown a no-hitter.Ross had a 1-0 lead with two outs in the eighth when Christian Walker lined a drive to deep center. Cordero seemed to get a late break on the ball, then had it sail just over his outstretched glove for a double that made it 1-all. Ross was pulled after throwing a career-high 127 pitches. The right-hander, who turns 31 on Sunday, struck out 10 and walked three. He retired 18 straight after walking Jarrod Dyson in the first.

LF Abraham Almonte matched his season high with three RBIs Saturday night in Cleveland's 5-2 victory over Detroit. Almonte had a two-run single plus an RBI double. "We've been using pretty much our whole roster," manager Terry Francona said. "And (it's good) the way guys are getting banged up or nicked up."

OF Abraham Almonte was activated Friday from the 10-day disabled list, where he had been since Aug. 18 with a left hamstring strain. Almonte missed some six weeks earlier this season with a right shoulder strain. Almonte lined out to short as a pinch batter in the ninth inning of the first game. He also made a late-game appearance in the nightcap.

OF Abraham Almonte (strained left hamstring) appeared in his third rehab game for Triple-A Columbus, when was 1-for-4 as the center fielder designated hitter. Almonte was placed on the DL Aug. 18 and will likely be activated after rosters expand Sept. 1. Before getting hurt, Almonte is batting .222 with three homers and 10 RBIs in 53 games.

OF Abraham Almonte (strained left hamstring) began a rehab assignment Monday, when he went 1-for-3 for Triple-A Columbus. Almonte will likely play a few games for Columbus before rejoining the Indians after rosters expand Sept. 1. He was placed on the 10-day disabled list Aug. 18, one day after he was injured against the Minnesota Twins. Almonte is batting .222 with three homers and 10 RBIs in 53 games this season.

OF Abraham Almonte will play a minor league rehab game with Triple-A Columbus on Monday. Almonte has been on the disabled list since Aug. 18 with a strained left hamstring.

OF Abraham Almonte went on the disabled list Friday with a strained left hamstring. He was injured in the second game of a Thursday doubleheader in Minnesota. "There was a ball in left center that he cut off and made a throw to second base," Francona said. "That's when he felt it. He also had a swinging bunt (where he felt it). This is an injury where the 10-day DL makes the decision a little easier. It's not a horrible (injury), but the 10-day helps you a little bit. That was the move to get Andrew on as opposed to doing a pitcher. We'll give Abe some time with the trainers and hopefully, right before he's ready to come off, we can get him a (rehab) game or two before he's ready." Almonte is hitting .222 in 53 games with three home runs and 10 RBIs. He was on the disabled list from May 16 to July 4 with right shoulder biceps.

OF Abraham Almonte's failure to catch a fly ball hit by OF Jacoby Ellsbury to right field with two outs and the bases loaded in the sixth inning resulted in a five-run Yankees rally Sunday. "I don't think he misjudged it," manager Terry Francona said. "That's a tough sun field, and when he went back, instead of running to a spot he stayed with it the whole time, and then his steps got shorter and choppier. When he got on the track he wasn't sure where he was, or where the ball was. It was a pivotal play to say the least."
