Rather than spend time worrying about his job status, Cleveland Indians manager Eric Wedge is thinking about tinkering with the lineup.

The Indians went into last night's game against Chicago at 11-21, the worst record in the majors. "It is my fault," Wedge said. "I'm not playing, but I take full responsibility when things are not going well. And we are a better team than we have shown."

Wedge said he won't hide behind injuries, or point fingers at particular areas of the team. He did say that he has told players they have no excuses, either.

"I believe in these guys, but we have to do better," Wedge said. "And it has to start now. Not the next game, not the next inning."

Wedge met with general manager Mark Shapiro and the coaching staff to discuss all aspects of the club. "These guys figure it out, have a good week, and we're back in it [the AL Central race]. But it has to start now. And if that is pressure, well guess what? This is the big leagues."

Chicago closer Bobby Jenks is done throwing purpose pitches. That's what he said, after his performance last weekend when he sailed a fastball behind Texas' Ian Kinsler. Jenks later said the pitch was intentional because he was tired of watching White Sox hitters getting plunked with no retribution. Baseball officials will investigate the matter.

Carlos Delgado was out of the lineup again with a recurring hip injury that has the team worried about the long-term health of their cleanup hitter. "I think it is something that we are concerned about, there's no question about that," manager Jerry Manuel said.

The Washington Nationals will play host to the St. Louis Cardinals at 7:05 p.m. July 23 to make up the teams' May 3 game that was postponed by rain. Both teams were scheduled to be off that day.
