Sizemore to play in his first game on Sunday since May 2010

By Anthony Caruso III

Grady Sizemore is finally coming back to the baseball field.

Sizemore is scheduled to be the Cleveland Indians Designated Hitter for two at-bats on Sunday. It will be his Cactus League debut. It will also be the first time that Sizemore has took live batting practice in a game since he hurt his knee last May.

He has been able to run the bases, without any discomfort, and has taken batting practice for several weeks now. So, it is expected that he will not have any problems on Sunday when he plays for the first time.

Sizemore's real test will come towards the end of March when he will be seeing regular playing time in center field. That's when he will have to run on his knee quite a bit.
