The Indians only managed six hits in an 11-4 loss to the Yankees on Thursday, but one of the hits was a single by Jayson Nix. Prior to the game, manager Manny Acta announced that Nix would be the team's new third baseman.

The position opened up Wednesday, when Cleveland traded third baseman Jhonny Peralta to Detroit. Nix had played second base exclusively for the Indians since they claimed him off waivers from the White Sox on June 24.

However, Nix does have some experience playing third base. Prior to Thursday, he had started 20 games at third base during his career, including 12 games this year for the White Sox.

Acta said Nix would get the first crack to claim the job, but there are some other options.

Alex Rodriguez drove in three runs without hitting his 600th homer and New York used a seven-run seventh inning to beat Cleveland 11-4 on Thursday night. Dustin Moseley (1-0) won his first start, allowing a run and four hits over six innings as New York took three of four in a lopsided series that saw A-Rod extend his homerless streak to seven games.

Alex Rodriguez prefers victories to hitting home runs -- even historic homers. Rodriguez drove in three runs without hitting his 600th homer and the New York Yankees used a seven-run seventh inning to beat the Cleveland Indians 11-4 Thursday night.

Travis Hafner has been scratched from the Cleveland Indians' starting lineup to rest his surgically repaired right shoulder.

Alex Rodriguez kept his sense of humor and A.J. Burnett rediscovered his wicked curveball. Rodriguez had two hits, but not homer No. 600, to support another sharp outing by a resurgent Burnett and the New York Yankees beat the Cleveland Indians 8-0 on Wednesday night. Each time Rodriguez strode to the plate, hundreds of fans left their seats and jammed a walkway between the left-field pole and the...

If Josh Tomlin was in awe of Alex Rodriguez and the mighty New York Yankees, he didn't show it. Tomlin took a shutout into the eighth inning against A-Rod and the rest of New York's potent lineup to win his major league debut with the Cleveland Indians, 4-1 on Tuesday night. "That was an outstanding effort by the kid," Indians manager Manny Acta said.

Josh Tomlin will have a couple of big tests when he makes his big-league debut for the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night. The 25-year-old will oppose the New York Yankees and Alex Rodriguez, who is hoping to hit his 600th career homer. Manager Manny Acta doesn't think the right-hander will be fazed by facing the Yankees, who have the best record in the majors at 63-35.

Reid Brignac liked his defense even more than his three-run homer. So did Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon. Brignac staked Wade Davis to a 3-1 lead with one swing, then made a diving stop to help the right-hander remain unbeaten in July as the Rays beat the Cleveland Indians 4-2 Sunday. "I was at the right place at the right time," Brignac said of taking away at least one run and possibly two...
