NOTES: * Tribe centerfielder Grady Sizemore returns to the lineup after missing two games with mid-back soreness. "He's ready to go, he feels good," Manager Manny Acta said.
* At Triple-A Columbus, rehabbing designated hitter Russell Branyan is batting third.
* Tonight's game can be heard on WMMS 100.7 FM, due to a conflict with the Cavs game.
* Earlier today, the Rangers scratched scheduled starting pitcher CJ Wilson (non-baseball medical condition), replacing him with RH Colby Lewis. Moving Lewis up a day leaves Thursday's starter to be determined.
