CLEVELAND -- Looks like Cubs manager Joe Maddon is so happy to get slugger Kyle Schwarber back in his lineup that he wants to see him as much as possible. John Wall Jersey . Maddon will hit Schwarber second in the Cubs lineup for Tuesdays Game 6 of the World Series at Cleveland.Schwarbers return will push Kris Bryant to third in the order.?Anthony Rizzo?will bat cleanup, followed by Ben Zobrist. Dexter Fowler remains in the leadoff spot.If we hit him in the 5-hole today after what he did a couple days ago theyre not going to pitch to him whatsoever, Maddon said.Addison Russell bats sixth, followed by rookie catcher Willson Contreras, who gets the start over Miguel Montero and David Ross. Hell form a battery with righty starter Jake Arrieta, who beat the Indians in Cleveland in Game 2.Jason Heyward, who has three hits in his past two games after being benched earlier in the Series, starts in right and bats eighth. Javier Baez rounds out the lineup. He was the MVP of the National League Championship Series but has struggled at the plate in the World Series.We kind of have a team that resembles an American League team. Were big, Maddon said. We have a lot of big guys.One big pitcher will also be available Tuesday night. After throwing 42 pitches to get an eight-out save on Sunday, Aroldis Chapman could get six outs if needed Tuesday.Schwarbers dramatic return from an early-season knee injury that limited him to two regular-season games caused a sensation as the World Series dawned. After being cleared by his doctors to hit, Schwarber was sent to the Arizona Fall League, where he played three games. He was then whisked by private plane to Cleveland and added to the Cubs World Series roster.Batting fifth, Schwarber proved his worth while serving as Chicagos designated hitter for Games 1 and 2, going 3-for-7 with a double, two walks and two RBIs as the Cubs earned a split. Schwarber has 10 RBIs in 12 career postseason games.When the Series shifted to Wrigley Field, Schwarber was not cleared by doctors to play in the field, limiting him to pinch-hitting duties. He batted just once in the three games, two of which the Cubs lost. He was retired on a popup in Game 3, dropping him to 0-for-10 in his career as a pinch hitter.While Schwarber may not look like a prototypical No. 2 hitter, neither does Bryant, the MVP candidate who has started in that slot for most of the second half of the season. Schwarber owns a career .353 on-base percentage, not including the postseason.The Indians are also benefiting from the move to AL rules, putting?Carlos Santana?back at the top of the lineup and moving him back to DH.Santana played two games in left field and one at first in Chicago.Manager Terry Francona also put Game 3 hero Coco Crisp in left field and moved Tyler Naquin to center, bumping Rajai Davis out of the lineup. Crisps pinch-hit RBI provided the only run in Clevelands 1-0 win in Game 3. His only start of the Series came in Game 2 against Arrieta.Cleveland right fielder Lonnie Chisenhall will bat sixth after dealing with some stomach discomfort before Game 5 on Sunday in Chicago.The Indians lead the Series 3-2 in their effort to win the franchises third World Series and first since 1948. The Cubs are trying to become the sixth team to rally from a 3-1 World Series deficit in the best-of-seven format. If they can, it will be the Cubs first championship since 1908 and snap the longest title drought in sports.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report. Jason Smith Jersey .Y. -- Sabres forward Drew Stafford has witnessed plenty of turmoil during his eight seasons in Buffalo. Cheap Wizards Jerseys China . Mats Zuccarello and Derek Stepan scored shootout goals, and backup goalie Cam Talbot earned his second win in two nights as the Rangers shook off a late tying tally and beat the Maple Leafs 2-1 Monday night. http://www.cheapwizardsjerseys.com/?tag=cheap-otto-porter-jersey ;. MLS Commissioner Don Garber and Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez also will attend the session, which was announced Monday. The league has discussed placing its next two expansion teams in Miami and Atlanta. The equation for FC Dallas to secure the Supporters Shield is an easy one to understand: a win or draw versus the LA Galaxy on Sunday at the StubHub Center in Carson, Calif., equals the best record in MLS and the home-pitch advantage throughout the playoffs.The execution of that equation is what will actually be difficult for FC Dallas.Los Angeles, which has already assured itself the third-place standing in the Western Conference table and the home-field berth in the knockout round next week, is one of the leagues toughest teams to beat at home, forging an 8-1-7 record this season.The Galaxy are undefeated at home over the last eight meetings versus FC Dallas in league play with a 7-0-1 mark dating back to the start of the 2010 season.FC Dallas (17-8-8, 59 points) will be without two of its top midfielders, Kellyn Acosta (hip) and Mauro Diaz, the teams captain. Diaz will miss the rest of this season, and perhaps a portion of the 2017 campaign, with a torn Achilles tendon in his right leg suffered on a hard tackle in the 89th minute of FC Dallas 2-1 win over Seattle on Oct. 16.Diaz was one of the most dynamic players in the league, with five goals and had 13 assists in 27 regular season games this year. He suffered more fouls per match than any other player in MLS this season.Were very sad about what happened to Mauro, FC Dallas forward CCarlos Ruiz said. Tim Frazier Jersey. Mauro is a key player, a fundamental piece in the structure of the team, and its a blow to lose him for that amount of time.The Galaxy (12-6-15, 51 points) put an end to their first losing streak of the season after just two games, snapping a three-game winless run overall with a 1-0 win at Houston on Oct. 16 that granted them third place.Even though this game is meaningless in the standings for Los Angeles, a win could provide the Galaxy with a useful psychological boost heading into the playoffs.Los Angeles center back Jelle Van Damme, who missed the match in Houston for yellow-card accumulation, said his team doesnt want FC Dallas to win the Supporters Shield on the Galaxys home field.Its against Dallas and they need a point to win the Supporters Shield, Van Damme said. Thats a challenge for us, too, to not give them that point. And we play at home. I just want to win; it doesnt matter who we play.The teams are meeting for the second time this season in league play, the back end of a home-and-home series over the seasons final four weeks. Walker Zimmerman scored the games lone goal to give FC Dallas the victory in the first encounter on Oct. 1, at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Tex.
