CLEVELAND -- Indians closer Chris Perez wants to focus on returning from his injured right shoulder and not his recent legal issues. Luke Witkowski Jersey . Perez, speaking to reporters for the first time since being charged with misdemeanour drug possession after marijuana was mailed to his home earlier this month, took no questions about the incident prior to Saturdays game against Washington. Perez and his wife, Melaine, pleaded not guilty to the charges. The two-time All-Star is on the disabled list with tendinitis in his right shoulder. He will begin a minor league rehab assignment Sunday and could rejoin the Indians next week. Asked about his frame of mind, Perez said, "I want to get back to the team. I want to do my job well. I dont want to come back from the rehab and not to come back just to come back. I want to come back and be able to be me and help our team accomplish our goals." Indians manager Terry Francona is supporting Perez. "Ive talked to him at length and am very comfortable hell be just fine and hes in a good place," Francona said. Perez, who hasnt appeared in a game since blowing a save against Boston on May 26, has thrown two bullpen sessions and is scheduled to pitch one inning for Class A Lake County on Sunday. He isnt sure if he will make more than one rehab appearance. "Well see how it goes," Perez said. "If I threw like I did (Friday), Ill probably need another appearance. I wasnt very sharp. I felt like my first appearance in spring training." Perez inherited a three-run lead against Boston in his last major league outing, but struggled and couldnt finish the ninth inning. He was pulled after throwing a warmup pitch to the backstop. The Indians dropped a 6-5 decision and Perez was placed on the 15-day disabled list the following day. "I told them I could pitch that day," Perez said. "I warmed up. It wasnt happening. I tried to pitch through it." Perez is 2-1 with six saves and a 4.32 ERA in 17 appearances. An arraignment has been set in suburban Rocky River Municipal Court for June 19. Police said they were tipped off by postal inspectors to suspicious packages mailed to the Perez home and arranged a delivery under surveillance on June 4. Authorities say Melanie Perez whose maiden name is Baum, told the undercover officer delivering the packages that they were intended for her dog, named Brody. The package was addressed to Brody Baum. Under the drug agreement between Major League Baseball and its players association, marijuana offences generally result with the player undergoing a treatment program rather than discipline. Anthony Mantha Jersey . The Croatian served 21 aces and hit 42 winners against Sijsling, who double-faulted to give Cilic a 4-3 lead in the deciding set. "All the players, they know me and they were really happy to see me and they were really happy that this is over for me," Cilic said. Martin Frk Jersey . Wall made the comment in a speech to a Regina business crowd that included Lesnar. The U.S. wrestler and retired mixed martial artist says he was visiting his brothers farm in Saskatchewan and decided he wanted to hear what the premier had to say. http://www.hockeyredwingsauthentic.com/authentic-gustav-nyquist-red-wings-jersey/ . It was the second consecutive win for the Pacers (2-5), who lost their first five preseason games. Jeff Teague led the Hawks (1-5) with 17 points and eight assists and Al Horford had 12 points and seven rebounds. Mike Scott scored 15 of his 17 points in the second half.GREEN BAY, Wis. -- DuJuan Harris had a very good reason for missing the Green Bay Packers minicamp. A team physical Monday revealed that the running back had a fist-sized cyst on his lung. The cyst was drained and removed Tuesday morning, and Harris was already back home Wednesday when he announced the news in a series of tweets. "Thank God for team physicals!!!" Harris said in the first tweet, posting a picture of himself hooked up to a monitor, a large bandage covering the 1-inch incision on the right side of his chest. The cyst was not cancerous, agent Dave Lee said, and should not return. Harris needs to let the incision heal, but he should be fully recovered by the time training camp opens next month. "EVERYTHING IS FINE, (doctors) found a fist sized cyst on my lung next to my heart. Shows the importance of getting routine check-ups, GET YOURS!" Harris tweeted. "Its a (hash)blessing!!! Should be 110 per cent very soon and back to work. Thanks for the prayers and keeping me lifted!!! MUCH LOVE." Harris was the feel-good story of Green Bays season last year. The journeyman was cut by Jacksonville at the end of training camp, then spent all of four days in Pittsburgh before the Steelers let him go. He went back to Jacksonville and was working at a car dealership when the Packers signed him to the practice squad Oct. 24. Coaches were impressed right away with what they saw from the pint-sized running back -- he plays much bigger than his 5-foot-8, 208 pounds -- and when injuries decimated Green Bays running game, Harris was promoted to the active roster Dec. 1. His speed, elusiveness and surprising power gave the Packers the consistent run game theyd been searching for all season, and hed cemented his role as a starter by the end of the season. He rushed for 157 yards and two touchdowns in four games, and caught a team-high five passes in the NFC wild-card win over Minnesota. "It definitely was a big deal for him last year, and I expect for him too find a way to get back out there again," wide receiver Randall Cobb said. Henrik Zetterberg Jersey. He might be even better now, too. The cyst, which doctors believe Harris has had his entire life, was pressing on his lung, reducing its capacity, Lee said. After doctors discovered it, Harris told them hed occasionally felt pressure in his chest, but assumed it was indigestion. Now that its been removed, Harris will have full lung capacity. "The good news is, it might help him in the long run," said Lee, Harris agent. "He should be able to have more endurance. Im not going to say hell be quicker, but he could last a few more plays. Thats the silver lining of it: Hes actually going to come out physically in better shape than when he went into the surgery." Notes: With WR Randall Cobb expected to be one of Aaron Rodgers primary targets, along with Jordy Nelson and James Jones, his time on special teams would seem to be over. But that depends on his teammates, and whether any one of them can step up and take the job from him, coach Mike McCarthy said. "Theres an opportunity there for others to compete and perform," McCarthy said. "We wont know that until training camp." Cobb said he doesnt care what role he plays, as long as hes playing. "It doesnt matter to me as long as were getting wins," he said. "Whatever its going to take ... is what Im down to do." ... McCarthy said the "real football evaluation" of DL Johnny Jolly, who is trying to make the team after being suspended the past three seasons, will come in training camp. ... With Greg Jennings now with the Minnesota Vikings, James Jones joked that "I dont like Greg no more. He left us."... The Packers wont practice Thursday, opting for a team activity instead. Whats the activity? "I really dont know what it is yet. Were waiting on the weather," McCarthy said. Steady rain forced the Packers to practice inside both Tuesday and Wednesday.
