TOKYO -- Canadian judoka Kyle Reyes won silver in the under-100 kilograms class on Sunday at the Tokyo Grand Slam of judo. Ron Jaworski Eagles Jersey . Reyes, who just three weeks ago became the first Canadian junior world champion in the history of judo, proved that he was ready to do the same at the senior level, defeating three top-10 ranked opponents. "Considering that hes just 20-years-old, it was an amazing performance by Kyle today," said national coach Nicolas Gill. "He won four really impressive bouts." The judoka got his day started with back-to-back wins by ippon over Brazils Rafael Buzacarini and South Koreas Kyeongtal Kim. In the quarter-finals, Reyes kept his run going by eliminating Frances Cyrille Maret, fifth-best judoka in the world. "Kyle was trailing by a waza-ari when he took charge and scored an ippon," said Gill. In the semifinal, up against the 2009 world champion Maxim Rakov of Kazakhstan, Reyes held on in a very tight battle, eventually winning by a yuko. Reyes was finally defeated by Lukas Krpalek of the Czech Republic. Facing off against the third-ranked judoka in the gold medal final, Reyes fell by a yuko. "Krpalek is one of the best in the world at the moment, and Kyle barely lost a very close fight," said Gill, who has been extremely happy with the progression of his protege. "Hes had a fantastic start to his career." Harold Carmichael Eagles Jersey . They know how difficult it is to beat the San Antonio Spurs.

The 27th-ranked Austrian underwent surgery on a torn tendon in October and needs more time to recover, the Austria Press Agency reports on Saturday.CLEVELAND -- On his way out to the field for pregame batting practice, Jason Kipnis hung a hard right in the Indians clubhouse to give Jason Giambi a big hug. "Great to see you," Kipnis told Clevelands respected designated hitter. "You, too, little brother," Giambi said. Big G is back with the Indians. Almost. Sidelined since spring training by a fractured rib, Giambi has been cleared to play and is scheduled to be activated from the disabled list Monday, when the Indians open a four-game series with the Kansas City Royals. The 43-year-old recently played in several games in a minor league injury rehabilitation assignment at Double-A Akron, a stop that helped his swing and also brought back memories of his path to the big leagues. "Sometimes you forget the grind," Giambi said. "Its been 20 years since I was a minor leaguer." While he was with the Aeros, Giambi and teammate Michael Bourn, who was with him to rehab a strained hamstring, treated the minor leaguers to several meals and found themselves serving up advice to some of the youngsters in Clevelands system. It comes naturally to Giambi, who is still playing but may one day try his hand at managing. He was a finalist for Colorados opening before signing with the Indians before last season. "Id like to, but the universe will determine that, not me," Giambi said with a laugh at his locker. "I love the nuances of the game and being a part of that. Ive played for some of the greatest managers in the game, Tony La Russa and Joe Torre and Tito (Terry Francona) and Jim Tracy." Giammbi said hes ready to play, but the Indians will wait until after the weekend. DeSean Jackson Jersey. Giambi took batting practice before Fridays series opener against Toronto and looked to be himself while launching several home runs into the right-field seats. The Indians have opened 7-8 without Giambi, and Francona said his presence has been missed inside the clubhouse, dugout and on the field. "Guys know hes there," Francona said. "Shoot, I know hes there. Because G is never going to back down from anybody and that doesnt mean you have to fight or anything. But its a nice teammates to have around. He can be a settling influence. He can kick somebody in the pants. Hes a great guy to have around. "Believe me, I wouldnt say all these things if they werent true. This is how I feel." Giambi injured his rib during spring training and was placed on the DL on March 30. While he batted just .183 last season, he hit nine homers and drove in 31 runs in 186 at-bats. Giambi also provided perhaps the seasons signature moment, when he belted a pinch-hit homer in the 10th inning to beat Chicago on Sept. 24. The homer helped propel the Indians to their first playoff appearance since 2007. While some fans look only at Giambis statistics and wonder why the Indians would dedicate a roster spot to an aging, situational hitter, Francona says Giambis impact goes way beyond numbers. "G can change the game in the batters box," Francona said. "Hes not here to hit .300, that would be great. But hes here to change the game with one of his swings and he has the ability to do that."
