(MLB.com Cleveland Indians)

The Indians and Red Sox could meet up in the postseason, making this weekend`s series between the American League powers a potential preview of October. For tonight`s 7:10 p.m. ET series opener, Cleveland plans on activating righty Trevor Bauer (12-6, 2.22 ERA) from the disabled list. He will renew his AL Cy Young Award candidacy against lefty Chris Sale (12-4, 1.92 ERA), who is also in the conversation for the annual award.
