Indians manager Terry Francona said Saturday that the team's eventual goal is to have John Axford return to the closer's role.

Francona did say that he likes how Cody Allen and Bryan Shaw are performing in the ninth inning and that a change isn't imminent. While Axford has pitched better in recent weeks, he still issues far too many walks to be trusted with the game on the line. Jun 7 - 2:34 PM

	2	Chris Dickerson Sidelined Chris Dickerson left Thursday's game versus the Mariners with left knee discomfort. Dickerson tweaked the knee in the second inning while tracking down a Kendrys Morales double. It's not clear at this point whether it might be more than a day-to-day situation, but the Tribe should update things later Thursday. Jul 31
CF	1	Michael Bourn D.L. Michael Bourn (hamstring) will increase his rehab workload over the next week. Bourn has been sidelined since July 5 with a left hamstring strain but only recently was allowed to ride a stationary bike. The Indians are taking it slowly with him, as there remains no timetable for his return. "I've kind of on purpose not gone in to push him," manager Terry Francona said. "He's going to obviously add intensity as he continues to feel better. ... He will just continue to ramp up. And when he's ready to play, we'll send him out to play." Jul 29
	2	Nyjer Morgan D.L. Nyjer Morgan will get a second opinion on his ailing right knee this week from Dr. Christopher Parker. Morgan has missed nearly two months with a sprained PCL in his right knee and has yet to resume baseball activities. "I don't know if it's a setback," said Indians manager Terry Francona. "I think he just wants to get a second opinion, which they're always encouraged to do." Jul 7
