OTTAWA http://www.metsfanproshop.com/authentic-tim-tebow-jersey , Ontario (AP) — gist Bob Anderson of the Canadian Museum of Nature has dubbed a newly discovered species of beetle Sicoderus bautistai after the former Toronto Blue Jays star.Anderson decided to name the insect — known as a weevil for its long snout — after Bautista because of the bat-flip home run that propelled Toronto to the 2015 American League Championship Series.“It was one of those moments in Toronto baseball sort of lore where he hit this big home run,” Anderson said Thursday. “And I thought what a great way to kind of recognize his contributions to Blue Jay baseball and to Canadian baseball, really, as a whole.”The 38-year-old Bautista played for Toronto from 2009 to 2017. He’s a free agent after splitting last season with the New York Mets, Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies.The Sicoderus bautistai is a tiny black weevil that is found in Bautista’s native Dominican Republic.Anderson has named about 120 weevils over his career.“One of the nice things about this is that you have some latitude to do something kind of quirky,” Anderson said. “(Naming) sort of builds on a history and the names tell little stories.” MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Cleveland Indians star shortstop Francisco Lindor’s recovery from a strained right calf muscle has been set back by another injury: a sprained left ankle.Manager Terry Francona said Wednesday in Minnesota Juan Lagares Jersey , where the Indians will start the season, that Lindor was hurt running the bases in a minor league intrasquad game at the team’s spring training home in Arizona.According to the team, an MRI test on Lindor’s ankle found a mild to moderate acute sprain. The three-time All-Star was previously ruled out for the opener because of the calf strain he suffered in early February. Because the timetable for that injury had not yet been finalized by the team’s medical staff, Lindor’s return from the ankle sprain was still being determined.“I watched it on tape. He walked off the field,” Francona said. “But they’re trying to put their heads together to get some more information.”In the meantime, Leonys Martin will likely bat leadoff in Lindor’s place. Rookie Eric Stamets will take Lindor’s spot in the middle of the infield Travis d'Arnaud Jersey , where second baseman Jason Kipnis will also be missing when the Indians face the Twins for three games starting on Thursday. Kipnis has a strained right calf muscle, too, with Brad Miller and Max Moroff available to fill in.Kipnis and Lindor will both start on the 10-day injured list, as will backup outfielder Bradley Zimmer. Reliever Tyler Clippard also won’t be ready for opening day, due to a strained pectoral muscle, but because he was in camp on a minor-league contract he doesn’t have to be added to the roster yet.Fortunately for the Indians Noah Syndergaard Jersey , third baseman Jose Ramirez will likely be in the lineup after a scare on Sunday with a foul ball he hit off his left knee during an exhibition game. After intense treatment, Ramirez was able to resume on-field workouts on Monday.“He’s in good shape,” Francona said. “He’s ready to go.”
