Left turn: Indians start Carlos Santana in left for Game 3 (Yahoo Sports)

Some 1,700 miles away from Wrigley Field, no one is enjoying Schwarber's comeback from a major knee injury more than Campbell Faulkner, a boy with a life-threatening illness, and his family.

Carlos Santana will grab his outfielder's glove for Game 3 of the World Series. Cleveland's designated hitter, who has played catcher, third and first base in his career, will start in left at Wrigley Field for the Indians on Friday night, a risky move manager Terry Francona was forced to make in order to keep the switch-hitting slugger in the lineup. Santana has only played four innings in left in his seven seasons with Cleveland, and that was back in 2012.
