SEPANG, Malaysia -- Fernando Alonso has shrugged off the 30-place grid penalty he faces at this weekends Malaysian Grand Prix, saying it was always going to happen at some point before the end of the season.Alonso is running Hondas updated engine during Friday practice this weekend, but will switch back to the old-spec power unit for the race. In doing so he will incur a 30-place grid penalty for changing the internal combustion engine, turbocharger, MGU-H, energy store and control electronics, but will be able to race his Friday engine for the first time without a penalty at Hondas home race in Japan.We knew we had a plan from the middle of the season of where to introduce new engines, Alonso said. I lost one in Australia in the accident, and we were on engine number two in the second race. We had some further problems.So we knew these penalties would come, and one of the best places was Spa because of the conditions of our engines at that point. The second best was maybe Malaysia because the weather could play a big factor in the race, and also Japan is the next race, our home grand prix, and we want to arrive there with some safety in terms of reliability.Were ready to take the penalty. In Spa, starting last, I was fourth or fifth after many incidents, so you never know. We will start the weekend and the race optimistic about the chance of being in the points, and thats the target for both cars, even if I start last then hopefully we can recover places quite soon.Alonso caused controversy a year ago when he referred to his Honda power unit as a GP2 engine over team radio at the Japanese Grand Prix. He believes the quote was blown out of proportion by the media but also praised the step forward Honda has made in the last 12 months.Yeah, my radio messages first of all are quite interesting all the time. Ive heard many radio drivers from other drivers, world champion drivers, and they dont have that impact, so it means Im more funny, or something like that, which is good.I think we change a lot from last year. The engine last year was not ready to compete. I said from the beginning of the year, in all the interviews, our boss from Honda was saying the project was immature and we were learning a lot of things, and in the process to improve the engine.So I was not saying anything differently. This year we are all saying the same thing, which is weve made a lot of progress, we are happy with the direction we are going and we are able to compete with all the other teams. NBA Jerseys China .

CHICAGO -- The soreness finally caught up to White Sox outfielder Melky Cabrera.The veteran switch hitter aggravated a right wrist injury during Chicagos 4-0 loss to Minnesota on Tuesday night and will miss a couple of days with a mild sprain.Cabrera originally hurt his wrist when he tried for a diving catch during a 13-2 loss at Cleveland on June 18. He tweaked it again on a swing in the series opener against the Twins and hit his wrist against the wall while going after Brian Doziers second homer of the game.Its difficult because I want to play, but the doctors said the best for me right now is just to take a rest for a couple of days because I have inflammation there, Cabrera said through a translator. But yeah, for me, I want to play. I dont like to be on the bench. I want to play because the team needs me and I need the team.Cabrera, who is batting .294 with eight homers and 39 RBI in 74 games, had an MRI on Wednesday. He signed a $42 million, three-year contract with Chicago in Decembber 2014.dddddddddddd.Manager Robin Ventura said he doesnt think Cabrera will need a trip to the disabled list.Its tough, he wants to be in there, he wants to play, he wants to fight through it, Ventura said. But the training staff, the medical staff thinks its better that he sits for three or four days to have that heal.Avisail Garcia got the start in left against the Twins on Wednesday night. While Cabrera could play the field and doesnt notice the injury when he hits from the right side, Ventura said they plan to stay away from him -- leaving the White Sox with just two position players on the bench.You dont like anytime you dont have Melky in there, Ventura said. Hes a switch hitter, middle of the lineup, it hurts to not have him in there. Were going to have to figure out a way to make up for that.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap ' ' '
