SAN DIEGO -- Manti Teo hopes hes given the boot to a walking boot hes worn on his sprained right foot since Aug. 9, the day after the San Diego Chargers exhibition opener. The rookie linebacker was out of the boot Tuesday, although he hasnt been cleared to practice. "Its a big step for me to take that boot off and see where it goes from there," Teo said. "Its a boost of confidence. Taking the boot off shows that its getting better, so Im really excited about it." Teo fared better than wide receiver Dan DePalma, fullback Chris Gronkowski and wide receiver Mike Willie. Those three were placed on injured reserve to reach the roster limit of 75. DePalma and Willie were hurt in Saturday nights exhibition victory against Arizona. Gronkowski had been out with an ankle injury. Teo said its up to the trainer to decide if the boots off for good. "Yeah, it feels good enough for me to take it off and walk around," said Teo, the Heisman Trophy runner-up last year. "Its up to him if he wants to put it back on." Teo said he wore the boot at all times, except when sleeping. "It was hurt bad enough to hold me out for three preseason games," said Teo, who was in for nine plays in the exhibition opener. "I think thats pretty big." The Chargers finish their exhibition season Thursday night at home against the San Francisco 49ers. Will he be good to start the season opener Sept. 9 at home against Houston? "In my mind, yes. My mind would tell my body what to do." Rookie coach Mike McCoy said Teo "was just kind of really getting a good feel without the boot" on Tuesday. McCoys not ruling anything out about Teos availability for opening night. "Thats going to be up to how his body recovers the X number of days before the game on Monday night," the coach said. "Well want to have an idea of how he feels, obviously. He knows his body better than anybody else." How far behind is Teo? "Mentally, hes been into it. Its just the reps, really," McCoy said. "I cant really put a percentage or a number on it exactly. Hes been at every meeting, hes been at every practice, hes been at every walkthrough, watching and doing what he can do, just getting the mental part of it, so really its just the physical part of it." The Chargers will hold a walkthrough Wednesday on the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan, their final practice before facing the 49ers. McCoy was born in San Francisco and was a 49ers fan. "I grew up watching some of the greatest quarterbacks of all time playing the game, whether that was Steve Young, Joe Montana and a bunch of other great players; Jerry Rice, Ronnie Lott," said McCoy, who played quarterback at Long Beach State and Utah. "I could go on and on with all the Super Bowls they were winning back then." However, when asked if he remembered the score of Super Bowl XXIX, he said: "No, I do not." It was San Francisco 49, San Diego 26 in the Chargers only Super Bowl appearance. Cheap Columbus Blue Jackets Gear . The 90-plus minutes of play are about trends and approach.

Viciedo hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning off John Axford, lifting the White Sox over the Cleveland Indians 4-3 and stopping a four-game losing streak. After the ball cleared the right-field fence, Viciedo pointed to Chicagos dugout, which erupted in celebration. "That was for the team. That was very exciting," he said. Other than Jose Abreus major league-leading 12th homer, a solo drive in the first inning, the ALs highest-scoring team couldnt manufacture any runs. Corey Kluber struck out a career-high 13 in eight innings, including a team-record seven straight. He allowed three hits and two walks, leaving with a 3-1 lead after 110 pitches. "Its good for the guys to just stay with it," Chicago manager Robin Ventura said. "Even though it looks bleak, you can still make a little bit of a comeback." Axford (0-2) walked Gordon Beckham leading off the ninth, but struck out Abreu. Adam Dunn walked, and Viciedo homered on a 2-2 pitch. "I was looking for a pitch I could make good contact with," Viciedo said. "He made a mistake, and I made him pay for it." Axford gave up the homer on a 96 mph four-seamer. "I fell behind in the count to too many guys, and it didnt work out," he said. "I put two guys on base without me even challenging. I just couldnt find it. The home run was on a fastball. Not a very good pitch, obviously." Indians manager Terry Francona, citing pitch count and the narrow lead, didnt second guess himself for pulling Kluber. "If anyone got on base, he was going to come out of the game, and I didnt think that was fair to him," Francona said. Kluber had no problem with Franconas strategy. "Thats not my decision. I trust Titos judgment," he said. Axford has blown two saves in 11 chances, both against the White Sox. He gave up a walkoff homer to Alexei Ramirez in the ninth inning on April 13 at Chicago. Daniel Webb (2-0) pitched the eighth, and Matt Lindstrom threw a one-hit ninth for his fourth save in seven chances. George Kottaras, the Indians backup catcher, became the first player to homer in his first two plate appearances for Cleveland.dddddddddddd Andre Rienzo allowed three runs and seven hits in 4 2-3 innings. Klubers streak began when he struck out Gordon Beckham and Abreu for the final two outs of the third. He fanned Dunn, Viciedo and Ramirez in the fourth, and Jordan Danks and Tyler Flowers struck out beginning the fifth. Leury Garcia broke the streak by walking on a 3-2 pitch, and Kluber struck out Alejandro De Aza. Kluber fell two strikeouts short of the AL record set by Doug Fister for Detroit against Kansas City on Sept. 27, 2012. Tom Seaver holds the major league record of 10 for the New York Mets against San Diego on April 22, 1970. Clevelands previous mark was six by Bob Feller, Bartolo Colon, Chuck Finley and Mitch Talbot. Four of Abreus five hits against the Indians this season have been homers. The White Sox broke an eight-game losing streak at Progressive Field, where they had gone 6-20 since 2013. "It hasnt been good to us here so to be able to come back and take one like this is pretty nice," Ventura said. The White Sox returned to Chicago to start a four-game, home-and-home stretch against the Cubs on Monday at Wrigley Field. "It was a much-needed win, obviously," Lindstrom said. "Now we can go home and start to put together a pretty good series against the Cubs. Kottaras, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday when Yan Gomes was placed on the paternity list, hit solo homers in the third and fourth. Kottaras had been 2 for 25 (.080) in the minors. Lonnie Chisenhall had an RBI single for Cleveland in the third. Indians centre fielder and leadoff hitter Michael Bourn missed the game because of tightness in his left hamstring. NOTES: Indians DH Jason Giambi (cramp in right calf) didnt play. ...
