CARSON, Calif. -- Landon Donovan isnt ready to decide whether he will extend his MLS comeback for another season with the LA Galaxy.Three days after their elimination from the playoffs, the Galaxy also had no news Wednesday on the career plans of Steven Gerrard and Robbie Keane. Gerrard is expected to make an announcement later this week, while Keane plans to wait until later in the month.Im hopeful they continue to be part of our club, Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said. Well see. Only time will tell.The 34-year-old Donovan says he greatly enjoyed his comeback season, which ended with the Galaxys loss to Colorado on penalty kicks in the Western Conference semifinals. Donovan said he hasnt spoken to the Galaxy or to his wife about the future.I enjoyed it a lot, and nobody wants to end that way, Donovan said. Thats tough, but thats part of sports, and (I) came back with a little bit of a different perspective, where you can appreciate and enjoy the process more.Donovan, the top scorer in the history of MLS and the U.S. national team, ended a 21-month retirement in September. Wearing No. 26 instead of his usual No. 10, he appeared in six regular-season games and three playoff contests, adding one goal to his league-record total of 145.Arena says he believes Donovan is 50-50 on a return for 2017, and Donovan said nothing to dispute that notion.The last while that I was playing before (retirement), it became more of a job than fun, Donovan said. And when that line got crossed, it was hard for me. But this was enjoyable. I really had fun. I enjoyed playing. It was good to have that to help remind me of the joy that this game has always brought me.Donovan returned in a supporting role for the Galaxy, complementing Giovani Dos Santos and the rest of the Galaxys ever-changing attack. The star-studded Galaxys struggles with major injuries played a role in their disappointing sixth-place finish in the overall MLS table, followed by a narrow playoff exit against the Rapids.Arena expects changes to the Galaxys core around Dos Santos and Gyasi Zardes, who appear to be the cornerstones of the franchises future. Those changes could include the departure of their two most prominent European stars.Keane and Gerrard were not made available to address their futures Wednesday, but both are out of contract this winter.Gerrard has shown flashes of his Liverpool greatness during 1 1/2 seasons stateside, but the midfielder also dealt with injuries throughout his stay. He was out for one month between games twice during the second half of this season, returning to play 45 minutes in the playoff game against Colorado last weekend.Gerrard traveled back to Liverpool for treatment on his injuries, and he has spoken fondly about his intentions to return home soon.Keane has been one of MLS best players since his arrival with the Galaxy in 2011, but injuries and international duties forced the former Ireland striker out of LAs lineup for roughly half the season. The 36-year-old Keane plans a coaching career, but has said he wants to continue as a player for a few more years.Keane was just one of several players who endured significant injury troubles. Gerrard, Zardes, Nigel De Jong and others also missed long stretches, contributing to LAs mid-table finish and a league-high 16 ties.Theres some encouraging things, said Arena, who still plans to return to the Galaxy. But you cant lose your top players for as long as we lost them and expect to be consistent on the field and produce the results we want to produce.

Edwin Encarnacion homered twice during an eight-run seventh inning that helped power the Blue Jays over the Astros, 12-6, to take the second game of the series after they coasted to a 4-0 win in the opener to end a seven-game losing streak. "I dont think it can get any better than that," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "(Encarnacions) having another great year, he really he is. Hes been steady all year. He hit into a lot of tough luck early in the season. But I think hes been as steady as probably anyone in baseball." Encarnacion became just the second player in franchise history, joining Joe Carter, to homer twice in an inning. Encarnacion went 3-for-4 with five total RBI and a walk. Toronto totaled 15 hits in the game including the solo shots by Jose Reyes, Adam Lind and Brett Lawrie. Reyes went 3-for-3 in the in with a pair of walks, finishing a triple shy of the cycle. He is 6-for-7 at the plate thus far in the series. Josh Johnson will head to the hill for the hosts on Saturday as he looks to lead them to their first three-game winning streak since they had an 11-game streak snapped on June, 24. Johnsons last win came on June 23, as Toronto has gone winless in his five starts since. The 6-foot-7 righty gave up five earned runs on seven hits in just two innings of work in his last outing. Johnsons poor showing dropped him to 1-6 on the year with a 5.66 ERA, which is dramatically hiigher than his career ERA of 3.dddddddddddd33. The Astros will try to turn things around with the left-handed Dallas Keuchel on the mound. Keuchel is 4-5 with a 4.42 ERA this season, but he hasnt given up more than three earned runs in three consecutive starts. The 25-year old took a no decision on Monday after surrendering just one run on five hits in six innings against Oakland. He has never faced Toronto before in his career. Astros left fielder Marc Krauss performed well at the plate in the second game of the series, going 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and four RBI. J.D. Martinez and Brett Wallace also delivered multi-hit games in the losing effort, but the team failed to acquire timely base knocks as it left nine on base. Houstons bullpen has lacked reliability in recent weeks, allowing at least one run in 10 straight games while posting an 8.01 ERA during that span. "Its not good," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "At this stage of the season, you would think that guys would get better. That has not happened. We are in a complete funk as far as the bullpen goes, and Im trying to find someone down there other than [closer Jose] Veras to come in and give us quality innings, and its just not happening right now." The Astros won five of the first six games played by the two franchises, including a three-game sweep in Houston in 2005 and two of three in Toronto in 2011. Houston has the worst record in baseball at 34-68, which includes a 16-31 mark in road games. Toronto is in last place in the AL East at 47-55 and is 27-27 at home. ' ' '
