Carlos Santana - #41 - Catcher - 5'11" - 190lbs
May 27, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Santana (concussion) has been cleared to fly back to Cleveland with the team Sunday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Impact: Santana was placed on the 7-day concussion DL on Saturday, and while it's nice to hear he's getting better, he'll be out of action for a week at least. Asdrubal Cabrera - #13 - Short Stop - 6'0" - 180lbs
Sun. May 27, 2012 |
STATS
News: Cabrera is day to day because of tightness in his left hamstring.
Impact: Cabrera left Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Ubaldo Jimenez - #30 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 210lbs
May 27, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Jimenez was demolished by the White Sox on Sunday, allowing seven runs on as many hits in just four innings.
Impact: Jimenez's statistical profile is bereft of bright spots by this point. He owns a brutal 5.79 ERA, has walked nine more batters than he has struck out, and has allowed eight homers in 10 starts. Sunday was just the latest example of his decline in 2012. Derek Lowe - #26 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 230lbs
Sun. May 27, 2012 |
STATS
News: Lowe (6-3) simply didn't have it in Saturday's 14-7 loss to the White Sox. He lasted just 2 1-3 innings in his shortest start this season.
Impact: He watched his ERA jump from an American League-leading 2.15 to 3.25 after giving up eight runs - the most for him since he allowed eight early last August against Washington when he was with Atlanta. Jason Kipnis - #22 - Second Base - 5'11" - 185lbs
Sun. May 27, 2012 |
STATS
News: Kipnis hit two homers and drove in four runs in Saturday's 14-7 loss at the White Sox.
Impact: Kipnis is 7 for 15 in the last four games. Lou Marson - #6 - Catcher - 6'1" - 200lbs
May 27, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Marson left Sunday's game in the fourth inning with a facial contusion, MLB's Jordan Bastian reports.
Impact: Marson was drilled by a Gavin Floyd pitch and exited the game. He was replaced by Luke Carlin. The Indians are thin at catcher as Carlos Santana is on the 7-day DL with a concussion. Asdrubal Cabrera - #13 - Short Stop - 6'0" - 180lbs
May 27, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Cabrera (hamstring) isn't expected back in the lineup until Tuesday or Wednesday, the Indians' official site reports.
Impact: Cabrera will undergo a series of tests prior to Monday's game to get a better read on his status. "We said he's day-to-day," manager Manny Acta said. "That could probably be three-to-five days. That's the initial thought, so we'll see how he's doing [Monday]. He's going to be pushed a little bit to see where he's at." Shelley Duncan - #47 - Left Field - 6'5" - 225lbs
May 27, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Duncan will start in left field and bat sixth against the White Sox on Sunday, the Indians' official Twitter page reports.
Impact: Duncan has seen his playing time decrease drastically in May with the arrival of Johnny Damon, but he'll try his luck Sunday against right-hander Gavin Floyd. Duncan has struck out 32 times in his 95 at-bats this season, but he has launched four long balls and driven in 11 runs. Jack Hannahan - #9 - Third Base - 6'2" - 210lbs
May 27, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hannahan is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, the Indians' official Twitter page reports.
Impact: Hannahan went 0-for-4 on Saturday, his first action since missing 11 straight games with a back injury. The team apparently doesn't want him appearing in consecutive games initially, so Jose Lopez will be in at third base Sunday. It doesn't seem Hannahan suffered any sort of setback, and it's likely he'll be back in the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals. Rafael Perez - #53 - Pitcher - 6'3" - 195lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: The Indians transferred Perez (shoulder) to the 60-day disabled list Saturday, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.
Impact: Perez is making progress in his recovery, but with a return still a couple weeks away, the Indians opted to transfer him to the longer DL to open a spot on the 40-man roster. Perez will be eligible to be activated from the DL on Jun. 25. Travis Hafner - #48 - - 6'3" - 240lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hafner (knee) will partake in some baseball activities Monday before deciding when he'll return to the lineup, the team's official site reports.
Impact: Hafner's a tricky call for the upcoming week with his status being uncertain until Monday's workout. Consider him day-to-day for now but realize his absence could linger a few more days beyond the start of the week. Jack Hannahan - #9 - Third Base - 6'2" - 210lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hannahan, who returned to the lineup Saturday for the first time since May 13, is unlikely to start Sunday, the team's official site reports.
Impact: The Indians don't want Hannahan to appear in consecutive games initially given his lengthy absence so he'll be eased back into the lineup over the next few days. Jason Kipnis - #22 - Second Base - 5'11" - 185lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Kipnis want 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Saturday's loss to the White Sox.
Impact: It's unfortunate that his big game came in a losing effort, as Indians' pitchers allowed 14 runs (13 earned). His season batting average now sits at .272 to go along with eight home runs and 28 RBI. Derek Lowe - #26 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 230lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Lowe allowed eight runs (all earned) over 2.1 innings and was the losing pitcher Saturday against the White Sox.
Impact: He gave up ten hits while walking none and striking out three. This was far and away Lowe's worst start of the season, following six quality starts in a row. He was roughed up for four runs in the first inning, retired all three batters he faced in the second inning, and then allowed another four runs in the third inning before being pulled. Lowe's season ERA dropped from 2.15 to 3.25, to go along with 18 strikeouts and 18 walks. Jeanmar Gomez - #58 - Pitcher - 6'3" - 170lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
STATS
News: After not allowed an earned run his previous two starts, Gomez gave up six in 5 2-3 innings against the White Sox on Friday.
Impact: He issued four walks and allowed a season-high two homers. Gomez came in with a 3.19 ERA. He fell to 3-3 on the season. Travis Hafner - #48 - - 6'3" - 240lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
STATS
News: The Indians say Hafner underwent an MRI Thursday on his right knee and took an anti-inflammatory for irritation in the meniscus.
Impact: He did not travel to Chicago and will be re-evaluated Monday. Carlos Santana - #41 - Catcher - 5'11" - 190lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
STATS
News: Santana is likely headed to the seven-day concussion list.
Impact: Manager Manny Acta said Saturday that Santana would probably wind up there because of a mild concussion. Carlos Santana - #41 - Catcher - 5'11" - 190lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: The Indians placed Santana (head) on the 7-day concussion DL on Saturday, Nick Camino of WTAM 1100 reports.
Impact: Santana got his bell rung when he took a foul ball off his catcher's mask in Friday's game, so the Indians will give him at least a week to recover. With Santana out, expect Lou Marson to see the majority of the starts behind the plate. Keep tabs on Santana's status in the coming days to see if he will return after seven days, or if his absence will stretch further. Luke Carlin - #45 - Catcher - 5'10" - 195lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: The Indians recalled Carlin from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.
Impact: The Indians have not yet announced a corresponding move, but it will likely involve catcher Carlos Santana, who took a foul ball off his catcher's mask in Friday's game. Assuming Santana ends up on the DL, Carlin will serve as the backup catcher behind Lou Marson. Jack Hannahan - #9 - Third Base - 6'2" - 210lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hannahan (back) will start Saturday's game at third base, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.
Impact: Hannahan has not appeared in a game since May 13, but after making it through Friday's pregame activities, manager Manny Acta determined he was ready to play again. Hannahan will bat seventh in Saturday's order. Michael Brantley - #23 - Center Field - 6'2" - 200lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Brantley is back in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.
Impact: Brantley will be back in action after getting the day off Friday. He will bat second against White Sox starter Jake Peavy. Carlos Santana - #41 - Catcher - 5'11" - 190lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Santana (head) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.
Impact: Santana took a foul ball to the mask in Friday's game, so it's likely that he still has a pretty good headache. Consider Santana day-to-day for now. Asdrubal Cabrera - #13 - Short Stop - 6'0" - 180lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Cabrera (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.
Impact: Cabrera will get at least one day off after exiting Friday's game with a sore hamstring. Consider him day-to-day going forward. Carlos Santana - #41 - Catcher - 5'11" - 190lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Santana (head) was removed from Friday's game after taking a foul ball off his catcher's mask in the eighth inning, the team's official site reports.
Impact: The Indians were trailing 9-2 at the time so this was likely just a precautionary move. Consider him day-to-day. Asdrubal Cabrera - #13 - Short Stop - 6'0" - 180lbs
Sat. May 26, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Cabrera left Friday's game in the seventh inning with tightness in his left hamstring, the team's official site reports.
Impact: He'll be further evaluated Saturday and is currently day-to-day. Don't be surprised if he's given the day off Saturday. Shelley Duncan - #47 - Left Field - 6'5" - 225lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Duncan went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a stolen base Friday against the White Sox.
Impact: After starting the season strong as the Tribe's starting left fielder, Duncan's strikeout rate began to climb and his numbers suffered quickly. With the arrival of Johnny Damon, things got worse and Duncan's playing time dramatically decreased. But between Damon's struggles and more games like this, there is a chance that he can salvage the season and become fantasy relevant again. We'll just have to wait and see. Jason Kipnis - #22 - Second Base - 5'11" - 185lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Kipnis went 2-for-3 with two stolen bases during Friday's loss to the White Sox.
Impact: Kipnis is now 6-for-16 (.375) over his last four games and after a rough April, has quietly put together a solid season for himself. He's now hitting .267 with six home runs and eight stolen bases on the year. Jeanmar Gomez - #58 - Pitcher - 6'3" - 170lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Gomez allowed six runs off six hits and four walks with three strikeouts through 5.2 innings against the White Sox on Friday.
Impact: After throwing 13.1 shutout innings over his previous two starts, Gomez just didn't have it on Friday. His command was off and he was victimized by the long ball early on in the game. He did settle down for a few frames but got into trouble again in the sixth inning before being removed. Look for him to bounce back with a home start against the Royals next week. Michael Brantley - #23 - Center Field - 6'2" - 200lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Brantley was given a routine day off Friday and was not out of the lineup because of an injury, the team's official site reports.
Impact: You can expect Brantley back in the lineup Saturday if this is indeed the case. Jack Hannahan - #9 - Third Base - 6'2" - 210lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hannahan (back) could be back in the lineup Saturday, the team's official site reports.
Impact: Hannahan's been sidelined for two weeks now but is on the verge of returning to the lineup and should inherit his starting job once healthy. Zach McAllister - #34 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 240lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
STATS
News: The Indians optioned McAllister to Triple-A Columbus on Friday.
Impact: McAllister was 1-1 with a 3.96 ERA in four starts for the Indians. Juan Diaz - #29 - Short Stop - 6'4" - 200lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
STATS
News: The Indians have called up Diaz from Double-A Akron and optioned starting pitcher Zach McAllister to Triple-A Columbus.
Impact: Diaz was hitting .232 in 34 games for Akron. Manager Manny Acta says Diaz will likely be sent back to the minors on Monday, when pitcher Josh Tomlin is expected to be activated from the 15-day DL. Shin-Soo Choo - #17 - Right Field - 5'11" - 205lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
STATS
News: Choo homered for the third time this season Thursday.
Impact: After a slow start, Choo is hitting .361 the last nine games with two homers and four doubles. He's hitting .268 this season. Justin Masterson - #63 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 250lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
STATS
News: Masterson earned his second win Thursday, defeating Justin Verlander and the Tigers.
Impact: Masterson gave up one run and five hits in seven innings. He is 2-3 with a 4.62 ERA but has given up three or fewer earned runs in five of his last six starts. Travis Hafner - #48 - - 6'3" - 240lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hafner (knee) will not play Friday and is unlikely to play in either of the Indians' other two games this weekend as well, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.
Impact: Hafner likely would have sat Friday anyway with a left-hander on the mound, but unfortunately he will not be available to either his team or fantasy owners this weekend. Consider him questionable to return to action Monday. Michael Brantley - #23 - Center Field - 6'2" - 200lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Brantley is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox, according to MLB.com's Jordan Bastian.
Impact: Brantley supposedly tweaked his ankle during Thursday's game, but it's not clear if he's sitting out to rest a sore foot, or if he is simply getting the night off with a left-hander on the mound for the opposition. Keep tabs on Brantley's status for a better feel as to his availability this weekend. Josh Tomlin - #43 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 190lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Tomlin (wrist) will come off the disabled list and start Monday against the Royals, the Indians' official Twitter page reports.
Impact: Zach McAllister was sent down Friday to make room in the rotation for the returning Tomlin. The 27-year-old is 19-13 at the major league level, but owns a 4.38 ERA in his 273 career innings. The first-place Indians are surely hoping Tomlin can provide quality starts. Zach McAllister - #34 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 240lbs
Fri. May 25, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: McAllister was optioned to Triple-A Columbus on Friday, the Indians' official Twitter page reports.
Impact: Josh Tomlin (wrist) will come off the DL and start Monday against the Royals, so McAllister gets bumped from the rotation. The 24-year-old will be replaced on the 25-man roster by infielder Juan Diaz after going 1-1 with a 4.85 ERA in his four starts with the Indians. Josh Tomlin - #43 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 190lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Tomlin (wrist) felt good after throwing a 50-pitch simulated game Thursday, the team's official site reports.
Impact: If Tomlin feels okay Friday he'll likely jump back into the starting rotation without going on a quick rehab assignment. Expect to have him available next week. Zach McAllister - #34 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 240lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
STATS
News: McAllister allowed two runs and eight hits in 6 1-3 innings of a win over Detroit.
Impact: He didn't earn the decision. McAllister is 1-1 with a 3.96 ERA. He's given up three or fewer earned runs in three of his four starts and had pitched into the seventh in two of the last three. Jason Kipnis - #22 - Second Base - 5'11" - 185lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
STATS
News: Kipnis went 3 for 4 with two runs scored in a win over Detroit on Wednesday.
Impact: Kipnis enters Thursday hitting .266 with six homers. Josh Tomlin - #43 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 190lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Tomlin (wrist) will throw a 50-pitch simulated game Thursday, the Indians' official site reports.
Impact: The Tribe will consider their next step with Tomlin after the outing. It's possible he could come off the DL shortly thereafter without an extended rehab assignment. Travis Hafner - #48 - - 6'3" - 240lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hafner is not in the lineup Thursday after fouling a pitch off of his leg Wednesday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
Impact: Carlos Santana will DH on Thursday, while the absence for Hafner is considered precautionary at this time. Shelley Duncan - #47 - Left Field - 6'5" - 225lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Duncan is starting in left field Thursday, the Indians' official Twitter feed reports.
Impact: His playing time has taken a hit with the arrival of Johnny Damon, but both players are struggling offensively and simply heating up the plate could temporarily shift the playing time in Duncan's favor. Johnny Damon - #33 - Left Field - 6'2" - 205lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Damon is not in the starting lineup Thursday, the Indians' official Twitter reports.
Impact: Shelley Duncan is starting in left field for the Tribe's matinee with the Tigers. Jack Hannahan - #9 - Third Base - 6'2" - 210lbs
Thu. May 24, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hannahan (back) is not in the starting lineup Thursday, the Indians' official Twitter feed reports.
Impact: Jose Lopez is making another start at third base, while Hannahan was reportedly available off the bench Wednesday night even though he did not play against the Tigers. Jack Hannahan - #9 - Third Base - 6'2" - 210lbs
Wed. May 23, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hannahan (back) took batting practice Wednesday, the Indians' official Twitter feed reports.
Impact: Hannahan's batting session appeared to go well, but he remained out of the lineup Wednesday. Hannahan will probably avoid a DL stint despite not playing since May 13. Jose Lopez - #4 - Third Base - 6'0" - 205lbs
Wed. May 23, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Lopez will receive another start at third base on Wednesday and bat ninth, Nick Camino of WTAM reports.
Impact: Jack Hannahan (back) remains out for Wednesday, but is expected to make his return sometime during the weekend. Until then, Lopez will see most of the starts at third. Chris Perez - #54 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 230lbs
Wed. May 23, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Perez pitched the ninth Wednesday for his 15th save of the season as Cleveland beat Detroit.
Impact: Perez struck out multiple batters (2) for the third time this season. Meanwhile, he ended the night with a sub-3.00 ERA (2.95), only the second outing he's accomplished that feat after his horrendous start to the year. Vinnie Pestano - #52 - Pitcher - 6'0" - 200lbs
Wed. May 23, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Pestano (2-0) picked up the win Wednesday against Detroit, pitching out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth inning with no outs.
Impact: Pestano gave up two hits to get himself into the mess, but he struck out two while inducing a force out at home to end the frame. He now has at least one strikeout in 23 straight appearances dating back to last season. Travis Hafner - #48 - - 6'3" - 240lbs
Wed. May 23, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hafner fouled a ball off his foot in an early at-bat and limped around in his remaining plate appearances, leaving Wednesday's win over Detroit for a pinch runner in the eighth inning, the Associated Press reports.
Impact: Hafner tied the game in the fifth on his two-run home run and reached base in the eighth on a throwing error by the Tigers' Prince Fielder, a play in which the winning run scored. Regarding Hafner's injury, there is no word on the severity, but since he started the first two games of this series, he will likely sit out Thursday's rubber match in preparation for this weekend's matchup against the White Sox. Zach McAllister - #34 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 240lbs
Wed. May 23, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: McAllister allowed two runs on eight hits over 6.1 innings but didn't factor into the decision in a 4-2 win over the Tigers.
Impact: McAllister's days may be numbered as Josh Tomlin could be back very soon and McAllister would seem like the odd-man out of the rotation. Jack Hannahan - #9 - Third Base - 6'2" - 210lbs
Wed. May 23, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hannahan (back) was available off the bench Wednesday and hopes to return to the starting lineup within a few days, the team's official site reports.
Impact: Hannahan took batting practice prior to Wednesday's game but remained sidelined. "Today is the best it's felt," he said. "It's gradually gotten better to the point where, mentally and physically, I feel like I could play." Josh Tomlin - #43 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 190lbs
Wed. May 23, 2012 |
STATS
News: Tomlin has been placed on the 15-day disabled list because of a sore right wrist.
Impact: Tomlin had been scheduled to start Saturday night's game against Boston, but was scratched earlier in the day before the Indians placed him on the DL, retroactive to May 8. He is eligible to come off May 23. Rafael Perez - #53 - Pitcher - 6'3" - 195lbs
Wed. May 23, 2012 |
STATS
News: The Cleveland Indians have placed Perez on the 15-day disabled list with a strained side muscle.
Impact: Perez got hurt on Wednesday while pitching one scoreless inning against Kansas City. The left-hander is 1-0 with a 3.52 ERA in eight appearances. This is the first time in his career he's been on the disabled list. He's eligible to be activated on May 11. Jack Hannahan - #9 - Third Base - 6'2" - 210lbs
Tue. May 22, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hannahan (back) is out of the starting lineup again Tuesday, the Indians' official Twitter feed reports.
Impact: He hasn't played in a game since May 13, leaving the possibility of a retroactive DL stint wide open. Jose Lopez will start at third base again for the Indians on Tuesday. Joseph Smith - #38 - Pitcher - 6'2" - 205lbs
Tue. May 22, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Smith picked up his seventh hold of the season Tuesday against the Tigers.
Impact: Smith has had a few ugly appearances that cloud his overall numbers and while he's certainly behind Chris Perez and Vinnie Pestano he could continue to rack up the holds if the Indians keep winning. Josh Tomlin - #43 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 190lbs
Tue. May 22, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Tomlin (wrist) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session Tuesday and hopes to throw a simulated game in the next few days, the Indians' team site reports.
Impact: Tomlin may or may not need a rehab assignment following the simulated game but he figures to be back in the starting rotation soon enough if things continue to progress well. Chris Perez - #54 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 230lbs
Tue. May 22, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Perez picked up his 14th save Tuesday against the Tigers, working around a hit and a walk.
Impact: Perez has still looked shaky at times but has calmed down from an abysmal start to be one of the more valuable closers in fantasy baseball. This season, stability is as valuable as anything with closers, and he has that in spades right now. Ubaldo Jimenez - #30 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 210lbs
Tue. May 22, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Jimenez picked up a win despite a wild outing Tuesday against Detroit, walking six and allowing five hits and yet just three runs over six innings.
Impact: Although technically a quality start, Jimenez continues to be shaky. The three runs all came on a home run by a slumping Alex Avila, but there were baserunners against him all night. He won't be able to keep stranding them like this on a regular basis. Right now, there's little reason to believe he's anything but the pitcher his 5.02 ERA suggests he is. Derek Lowe - #26 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 230lbs
Mon. May 21, 2012 |
STATS
News: Lowe allowed two runs in six innings but took the loss Sunday against Miami.
Impact: Lowe has allowed only seven runs in his last six starts, going 4-1 with a 1.55 ERA in that stretch. Johnny Damon - #33 - Left Field - 6'2" - 205lbs
Mon. May 21, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: The Indians will stick with Damon in the regular lineup despite his struggles since joining the team, Justin Albers of MLB.com reports.
Impact: Damon is batting .172 and was recently moved out of the leadoff spot in favor of Shin-Soo Choo. With few desirable options in the outfield to replace Damon until Grady Sizemore returns, the team is willing to take the chance that Damon regains the form he showed with Tampa Bay in 2011. At this point, Damon probably shouldn't be owned in mixed leagues and likely remains a fringe roster candidate in most AL-only leagues. Jack Hannahan - #9 - Third Base - 6'2" - 210lbs
May 20, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hannahan (back) continues to feel better but missed his seventh straight game Sunday, the Indians' official site reports.
Impact: The Indians have a scheduled day off Monday, so his absence Sunday wasn't all that surprising. He's a risky activation for the upcoming week given the lingering nature of his injury however. Casey Kotchman - #35 - First Base - 6'3" - 215lbs
May 20, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Kotchman is not in Sunday's lineup against the Marlins, the Indians' official site reports.
Impact: Kotchman, who checks in with an average of .211 through 123 at-bats, will take a seat Sunday, with Carlos Santana starting at first base and Lou Marson getting the nod behind the plate for the Indians. Jack Hannahan - #9 - Third Base - 6'2" - 210lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hannahan (back) fielded grounders and took some at-bats Saturday, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.
Impact: Hannahan was held out of the lineup Saturday and is likely to be held out Sunday as well. The Indians have an off day on Monday, and manager Manny Acta may opt to give Hannahan as much rest as possible before his expected return on Tuesday. Asdrubal Cabrera - #13 - Short Stop - 6'0" - 180lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Cabrera's solo shot in the fourth off Anibal Sanchez provided all the run support teammate Jeanmar Gomez would need in Saturday's 2-0 win over Miami.
Impact: Cabrera has done well to silence skeptics who questioned if he could replicate his 25 homers from 2011, as he now has five of them about one quarter of the way through the season. His stolen base totals have surprisingly lagged a bit, though, even as he gets on base at an excellent .405 clip. Shin-Soo Choo - #17 - Right Field - 5'11" - 205lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Choo was one of the few batters who thrived Saturday against Miami, batting 2-for-4.
Impact: Choo continues to thrive since being moved to the top of the order, a lineup slot well suited for him given his .377 OBP. He has yet to show the power he demonstrated in his breakout campaign of 2010, but he certainly appears poised to at least be more valuable than he was 2011 if he maintains his current pace for steals and runs scored. Chris Perez - #54 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 230lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Perez turned in arguably his best performance of the season Saturday, recording his 13th save of the year by striking out the side.
Impact: Perez was incredibly efficient, requiring only ten pitches to solicit the nine strikes he needed. There's no question Perez has dominant stuff; fantasy owners just wished he'd harness it more often, as his high walk rate illustrates. Jeanmar Gomez - #58 - Pitcher - 6'3" - 170lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Gomez threw 6.1 innings of shutout ball in a win over the Marlins on Saturday, scattering three hits and two walks and striking out four.
Impact: Gomez is becoming an increasingly viable fantasy option, as he's turned in several quality starts in a row after a rough start to the season to lower his ERA to 3.19. He doesn't strike out as many batters as one might like, but he has certainly been useful in all the other starting pitching categories. Jack Hannahan - #9 - Third Base - 6'2" - 210lbs
Sat. May 19, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hannahan (back) is out of the lineup a sixth straight game Saturday.
Impact: It wouldn't be surprising if Hannahan was held out Sunday as well. Supposedly his back issue is improving, but not well enough to take the field. Rafael Perez - #53 - Pitcher - 6'3" - 195lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Perez (lat/shoulder) was able to throw off a mound and could throw a simulated game soon, the team's official site reports.
Impact: Perez has been sidelined for nearly a month now so it would seem likely that he'll require a quick rehab assignment before rejoining the bullpen ranks. Jack Hannahan - #9 - Third Base - 6'2" - 210lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hannahan (back) missed his fifth straight game Friday and may not be ready to return to the lineup this weekend, the team's official site reports.
Impact: Hannahan is showing improvement but still isn't ready to return to the lineup just yet. Josh Tomlin - #43 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 190lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Tomlin (wrist) played catch Friday and hopes to throw a bullpen session early next week, the team's official site reports.
Impact: The Indians have yet to decide on whether he'll need a quick rehab assignment before rejoining the rotation but he seems like a safe bet to be sidelined for the upcoming week as well. Justin Masterson - #63 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 250lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Masterson allowed two runs on six hits, walking three and striking out five over seven innings Friday as the Indians dropped a 3-2 decision to the Marlins.
Impact: The outing dropped his ERA to 5.04, but he is still not pitching especially well. In this game against the Marlins, he threw just 65 of 111 pitches for strikes, and he remains particularly vulnerable to lefty swingers who are hitting .308 against so far this season. He faces a tough match-up at home against Detroit (and Justin Verlander) in his next start. Shin-Soo Choo - #17 - Right Field - 5'11" - 205lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Choo was 1-for-3 with a walk and one RBI Friday night against Miami.
Impact: Moved to the lead-off spot three days ago, Choo has taken to the role and is showing signs of coming to life with the bat. Now hitting .258 on the year, he is riding a modest six-game hitting streak and is averaging .316 over his last 10 games. Zach McAllister - #34 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 240lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
STATS
News: McAllister starting again in place of the injured Josh Tomlin, allowed four runs in 5 2-3 innings of Thursday's 6-5, 11-inning win over Seattle.
Impact: McAllister is 1-1 with a 4.34 ERA. Jose Lopez - #4 - Third Base - 6'0" - 205lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
STATS
News: Lopez hit a three-run homer in Thursday's 6-5, 11-inning win over Seattle.
Impact: Lopez has a homer and three RBIs in his first nine games this season. Carlos Santana - #41 - Catcher - 5'11" - 190lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
STATS
News: Santana was 2 for 4 with an RBI in Thursday's 6-5, 11-inning win over Seattle.

Fri. May 18, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hafner (hand) is tentatively in the lineup for Friday's game against Miami, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.
Impact: The Indians will see how Hafner feels during batting practice to ensure he's ready to play on Friday. Check back on his situation prior to game time in the event that Hafner is scratched. Josh Tomlin - #43 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 190lbs
Fri. May 18, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Tomlin (wrist) will resume playing catch Friday after an MRI showed nothing more than inflammation, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact: Tomlin may be able to avoid a rehab assignment prior to rejoining the starting rotation but that will likely depend on how quickly he'll be able to progress to throwing off a mound. Jose Lopez - #4 - Third Base - 6'0" - 205lbs
Thu. May 17, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Lopez homered and drove in three runs Thursday filling in for the injured Jack Hannahan in a win over Seattle.
Impact: Hannahan is likely set to return this weekend after dealing with a back injury, but Lopez has hit safely in each of his four games since being recalled from Triple-A. Hannahan was off to a hot start at the plate himself, though, so it's unlikely that Lopez will see many at-bats once Hannahan is back. Still, he may have earned himself a bench spot, at least. Travis Hafner - #48 - - 6'3" - 240lbs
Thu. May 17, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hafner left Thursday's game with a hand injury after being hit by a pitch, but hopes to return Friday, the team's official site reports.
Impact: Hafner wasn't sent for X-rays, but still had issues with being able to grip the bat prior to leaving the game. "I think there's definitely a chance [of playing Friday]. We'll just ice it a bunch tonight and come in and see how it feels tomorrow. I can't really say [if I'll be able to play], but there's a chance," Hafner said. Ubaldo Jimenez - #30 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 210lbs
Thu. May 17, 2012 |
STATS
News: Jimenez beat the Mariners and ace Felix Hernandez on Wednesday in a 9-3 win over Seattle on Wednesday night.
Impact: Jimenez gave up five hits and three runs over six innings. He threw 107 pitches - 27 in a long first inning - walked two and struck out four. "This is the best Ubaldo has thrown the ball this year," manager Manny Acta said. Jason Kipnis - #22 - Second Base - 5'11" - 185lbs
Thu. May 17, 2012 |

News: Kipnis had two hits Wednesday in a 9-3 win over Seattle on Wednesday night.

News: Hafner had a big fantasy effort Wednesday in a 9-3 win over Seattle on Wednesday night.
Impact: Hafner went 2 for 5 with a homer and three RBIs. Shin-Soo Choo - #17 - Right Field - 5'11" - 205lbs
Thu. May 17, 2012 |

News: Choo had a big fantasy effort Wednesday in a 9-3 win over Seattle on Wednesday night.
Impact: Choo has five hits in his last nine at-bats after going 3 for 5. Jack Hannahan - #9 - Third Base - 6'2" - 210lbs
Thu. May 17, 2012 |
STATS
News: Hannahan is out of the lineup for the fourth straight game with lower back soreness.
Impact: The team said Thursday that an MRI revealed mild back inflammation. Hannahan, who hasn't played since Sunday, remains day-to-day. He missed a week in spring training with back soreness. Jack Hannahan - #9 - Third Base - 6'2" - 210lbs
Thu. May 17, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hannahan (back) played catch Thursday and hopes to return to the Indians' lineup Friday or Saturday, MLB.com's Jordan Bastian reports.
Impact: In the meantime, Jose Lopez will start at third on Thursday and would likely be the starter as long as Hannahan remains out. Ubaldo Jimenez - #30 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 210lbs
Thu. May 17, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Jimenez (4-3) wasn't dominant Wednesday, but he held the Mariners to three runs in six innings to pick up the win. He struck out four while walking two and allowing five hits.
Impact: It's not exactly impressive, but it's a quality start and Ubaldo's lowest walk total of the year. Certainly better than getting lit up for seven runs without escaping the fifth inning, which is what happened to him in two of his last three outings. Dan Wheeler - #44 - Pitcher - 6'3" - 220lbs
Wed. May 16, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Wheeler cleared waivers and is headed to Triple-A Columbus, WTAM's Nick Camino reports.
Impact: Wheeler will probably make it back to the big leagues at some point, but it would be a surprise if he has a significant role anytime soon. Shin-Soo Choo - #17 - Right Field - 5'11" - 205lbs
Wed. May 16, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Choo collected three hits and scored a pair of runs in Wednesday's win over the Mariners.
Impact: Choo has now hit safely in four straight games and is hitting .364 over his last 10 games. Rafael Perez - #53 - Pitcher - 6'3" - 195lbs
Wed. May 16, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Perez (lat/shoulder) was able to throw off a mound as planned Wednesday, the team's official site reports.
Impact: The team still doesn't have a clear timetable for his return from the DL but Wednesday's bullpen session was certainly a step in the right direction. Josh Tomlin - #43 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 190lbs
Wed. May 16, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Tomlin (wrist) plans on having an MRI on Thursday to help determine the exact nature of his injury, the team's official site reports.
Impact: If Tomlin gets a clean bill of health Thursday it's possible that he won't need a rehab assignment prior to his return, but we'll have a better idea on his timetable once the results from the follow-up MRI are known. Grady Sizemore - #24 - Center Field - 6'2" - 200lbs
Wed. May 16, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Sizemore (back) was able to take some swings in the batting cage Wednesday for the first time since surgery, the team's official site reports.
Impact: Sizemore, who is eligible to return from the 60-day DL on June 3, seems likely to need at least a few more weeks beyond that point given his current status. "He swung the bat good, but it's just a start. We're not going to rush anything. He's going to continue his rehab, and I'm anticipating that he's going to go on a rehab assignment where he's going to have plenty of at-bats before he comes up here and plays. I doubt that we'll be able to meet that date," manager Manny Acta said. "I can't sit here and give you a timetable. He has to finish the strengthening program with his legs and then be declared ready to compete. It's not just about baseball." Jack Hannahan - #9 - Third Base - 6'2" - 210lbs
Wed. May 16, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hannahan missed his third consecutive game Wednesday due to lower back soreness. He is scheduled for an MRI, the Associated Press reports.
Impact: Although manager Manny Acta says Hannahan is feeling better, it won't surprise us in the least if he misses a little more time, and there's a chance the MRI turns up something that could lead to a DL stint. Jose Lopez started at third base again Wednesday. Michael Brantley - #23 - Center Field - 6'2" - 200lbs
Wed. May 16, 2012 |

Wed. May 16, 2012 |
STATS
News: Lowe posted his first shutout in nearly seven years, throwing a six-hitter and leading the Indians past the Twins 5-0 on Tuesday.
Impact: Lowe threw a season-high 127 pitches for his 10th career complete game, and first since Aug. 26, 2008, for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Lowe induced four double-play grounders to win his fourth straight decision. Carlos Santana - #41 - Catcher - 5'11" - 190lbs

Tue. May 15, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hannahan (back) was held out of the lineup for the second consecutive day Wednesday with back tightness, the team's official site reports.
Impact: The Indians are headed back home for a series on Wednesday so don't be alarmed if Hannahan's back still isn't ready after a plane ride Tuesday night. Consider him day-to-day for now. Shin-Soo Choo - #17 - Right Field - 5'11" - 205lbs
Tue. May 15, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Choo will serve as the Indians' leadoff hitter until further notice, the Associated Press reports.
Impact: Manager Manny Acta made the announcement after Tuesday's game, where Choo led off for the second straight day and went 2-for-4 with a solo homer off of Twins starter Jason Marquis. Derek Lowe - #26 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 230lbs
Tue. May 15, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Lowe tossed a complete game shutout against the Twins on Tuesday afternoon to earn his sixth win of the season.
Impact: Although he walked four, Lowe held the Twins to six hits in the outing and became the first pitcher since Scott Erickson to toss a complete game without recording a strikeout. Lowe threw 127 pitches in Tuesday's start, including 115 sinkers while getting the Twins to pound the ball into the infield grass throughout the afternoon. Casey Kotchman - #35 - First Base - 6'3" - 215lbs
Tue. May 15, 2012 |

News: Kotchman smashed his third homer of the year well into the seats for a two-run jack in Monday's 5-4 win over Minnesota.

Tue. May 15, 2012 |
STATS
News: Gomez pitched brilliantly in Monday's 5-4 win over Minnesota but he didn't get a decision.
Impact: Gomez allowed one unearned run and three hits with three strikeouts and two walks. Lou Marson - #6 - Catcher - 6'1" - 200lbs
Tue. May 15, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Marson will start behind the plate for Tuesday's game against the Twins, the Indians' official site reports.
Impact: Carlos Santanna will DH, leaving the catching duty to Marson for Tuesday's tilt. Marson is hitting just .095 in 21 at-bats. Johnny Damon - #33 - Left Field - 6'2" - 205lbs
Tue. May 15, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Damon will return to the lineup Tuesday against the Twins, the Indians' official site reports.
Impact: Damon has been moved from the leadoff spot to the seventh hole. He's hitting just .159 since joining the Indians, but should continue to see regular playing time in left field. Jose Lopez - #4 - Third Base - 6'0" - 205lbs
Tue. May 15, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Lopez will start at third base and hit sixth Tuesday against the Twins, the Indians' official site reports.
Impact: Lopez will be making his second consecutive start at the hot corner. The 28-year-old veteran hasn't been productive at the major league level since 2009, but he has pop and could see regular time at third base for the Indians. He's an interesting option in AL-only and deep formats if the playing time sticks. Jeremy Accardo - #57 - Pitcher - 6'1" - 200lbs
Mon. May 14, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Accardo was called up from Columbus on Monday, the Indians' official Twitter feed reports.
Impact: He'll replace Dan Wheeler on the active roster after carrying a 2.76 ERA over 13 appearances with the Clippers to start the season. Chris Perez - #54 - Pitcher - 6'4" - 230lbs
Mon. May 14, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Perez pitched a perfect ninth Monday with one strikeout for his AL-leading 12th save in 13 chances this season as Cleveland beat Minnesota.
Impact: Perez has had little chance to contribute since his last outing, a loss to the White Sox on May 8, as the Indians were rarely involved in a close game. Since he tossed 12 pitches Monday, consider him available to close out another tight matchup if one arises Tuesday. Jeanmar Gomez - #58 - Pitcher - 6'3" - 170lbs
Mon. May 14, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Gomez pitched seven innings of shutout ball Monday, giving up an unearned run on three hits and three walks, while striking out two. However, he didn't figure in the decision in Cleveland's win at Minnesota.
Impact: Gomez's night was stellar, though many a starter has held the listless Twins at bay this season. Either way, he bounced back nicely after getting shelled for eight runs in 6.2 innings against the White Sox last Wednesday, May 9. Gomez -- who lowered his ERA to 3.75 on Monday -- now has three quality starts in five starting nods, but his low strikeout rate (4.7 K/9IP) will hold his value down to AL-only leagues. Casey Kotchman - #35 - First Base - 6'3" - 215lbs
Mon. May 14, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Kotchman clubbed a two-run homer Monday on his way to a 2-for-4 outing as Cleveland won at Minnesota.
Impact: After bottoming out Apr. 25 with a .140 average, Kotchman has hit safely in nine of his past 15 appearances, raising his average to .198 in the process. He continues to earn the majority of the starts at first base against right-handed pitching, but until he improves upon his six extra-base hits -- three doubles and three homers -- in 106 at-bats, he should only be utilized in deep AL-only leagues. Shin-Soo Choo - #17 - Right Field - 5'11" - 205lbs
Mon. May 14, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Choo was moved to the leadoff spot in the batting order Monday, the team's official site reports.
Impact: Choo's had a rough start to the season, hitting just .235, but still has put up a solid .360 OBP. Johnny Damon hasn't hit since joining the Indians either so the move could stick for awhile. Look for Choo's run production to slip as a result of the move however. Jack Hannahan - #9 - Third Base - 6'2" - 210lbs
Mon. May 14, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Hannahan is not in the lineup Monday, the Indians' official Twitter feed reports.
Impact: Jose Lopez is making a rare start at third base while Hannahan gets rest. Johnny Damon - #33 - Left Field - 6'2" - 205lbs
Mon. May 14, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Damon is not in the starting lineup Monday, the Indians' official Twitter feed reports.
Impact: Shelley Duncan is playing left field Monday, while Shin-Soo Choo is moving into the leadoff role against the Twins in Damon's absence. Justin Masterson - #63 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 250lbs
May 13, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Masterson took the loss Sunday against the Red Sox, allowing six runs on seven hits over six innings.
Impact: Masterson was initially considered a fringe starting pitcher because of his large platoon splits -- he throws from a low-enough arm angle where lefties can get a great read on the ball out of the hand. The Sox loaded up their lineup with lefties -- Ryan Sweeney, David Ortiz, Adrian Gonzalez and Daniel Nava -- and each had at least one hit off Masterson. The best sign for Masterson was that his control showed up -- just one walk -- but he needs to put it together soon. He has a 5.40 ERA and a 4.79 FIP so far this season. Dan Wheeler - #44 - Pitcher - 6'3" - 220lbs
May 13, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Wheeler has been designated for assignment by the Indians, Nick Camino of WTAM Newsradio reports.
Impact: Wheeler could be snagged off waivers, but chances are he'll end up as a free agent and latch on with another team on a minor-league deal. Zach McAllister - #34 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 240lbs
Sun. May 13, 2012 |
STATS
News: McAllister was charged with Saturday's 4-1 loss at Boston.
Impact: McAllister finished with a career-high eight strikeouts in seven innings, allowing eight hits and not walking anybody. But he didn't get much offensive help as the Indians struggled. Casey Kotchman - #35 - First Base - 6'3" - 215lbs
May 13, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Kotchman is back in Sunday's lineup against the Red Sox, Nick Camino of WTAM in Cleveland reports.

RotoWire
News: Damon is back in Sunday's lineup against the Red Sox, Nick Camino of WTAM in Cleveland reports.

May 13, 2012 |
RotoWire
News: Perez (lat/shoulder) hopes to start throwing a bullpen session Wednesday, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Impact: Perez has progressed to throwing 120 feet in his long-toss sessions so the next step is to see how he fares when throwing off a mound. He's likely two weeks away from a possible return at this point. Michael Brantley - #23 - Center Field - 6'2" - 200lbs

Tue. May 8, 2012 |
STATS
News: Hafner had a home run and a triple in the first game of a doubleheader against Chicago on Monday.

Tue. May 8, 2012 |

Impact: He gave up two hits in seven scoreless innings to improve to 3-2 and lower his ERA to 4.04. He did have five walks, giving him 25 walks to 20 strikeouts but it was easily his best outing of the season. Zach McAllister - #34 - Pitcher - 6'6" - 240lbs
Mon. May 7, 2012 |
STATS
News: Cleveland has recalled McAllister from Triple-A Columbus to start the first game of a day-night doubleheader against Chicago.
Impact: McAllister went 3-1 with a 2.83 ERA in six starts for the Clippers. The 24-year-old McAllister was in the mix to win a job as the No. 5 starter in spring training. He's making his fifth career major league start and second against the White Sox. |
