Cleveland Indians' Salazar throws 3-inning simulated game; next stop World Series?

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Danny Salazar feels like he's 100 percent. If that's true, his next real game could be in the World Series.

Salazar pitched a three-inning simulated game Sunday night during the Indians' workout in anticipation of playing the Cubs in Game 1 of the World Series on Tuesday night at Progressive Field.

"We'll evaluate Danny after he throws his sim game," said pitching coach Mickey Callaway. "I expect him, if he gets through this OK, to be available at some point in the World Series."

When Salazar took the mound Sunday night, Wild Thing blared over the sound system at Progressive Field.
