Casey Kotchman singled and belted a two-run homer in Monday's win over the Twins.
Kotchman's blast in the fifth gave the Tribe a 4-1 lead that they lost before rallying to win. The defensively-gifted first baseman has been woeful at the plate this year, as tonight's effort pushed his average up to .198.
May 14 - 11:02 PM
Casey Kotchman went 1-for-4 with three RBI in the first game of Monday's doubleheader against the White Sox.
It's been a rough start for Kotchman, who is batting only .167 with two homers in 84 at-bats. Surprisingly, he has tied a career high with three steals. But that's not much of a silver lining.
May 8 - 5:09 AM
Casey Kotchman went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's wipeout of the Royals.
Kotchman, who entered Sunday batting just .143/.200/.250, has now homered in back-to-back games, as well as stolen a base. Kotchman is extremely unlikely to repeat his .306/.378/.422 2011, but also shouldn't be in store for a flashback to his .217/.280/.336 2010 with the Mariners. He should split the difference on his way to solid AL-only league value.
Apr 15 - 6:25 PM
Casey Kotchman (back) has been medically cleared by the Indians' training staff.
Kotchman hasn't played in the last seven games due to lower back stiffness. "I've taken BP (batting practice) the last two days," Kotchman said. "I'm not sure when I'm going to get back into games, but it's progressing favorably." Barring a setback, Kotchman is expected to play in Sunday's game against Kansas City.

Jack Hannahan
Sidelined
Jack Hannahan (back) is available off the bench Wednesday but isn't expected to return to the lineup for a couple days.
Hannahan hasn't played since May 13, so it's surprising the Indians haven't placed him on the disabled list at this point. Perhaps he'll finally make it back by this weekend.

Grady Sizemore
D.L.
Grady Sizemore (back) took batting practice Wednesday for the first time since landing on the disabled list.
"He looked good for the first time," Acta said. "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." Sizemore has been hitting, throwing and doing running and agility drills, but he's not close to returning to the lineup. He's hoping to be back before the end of June.

Travis Hafner is being held out of Thursday's game against the Tigers due to a right knee bruise.
Indians skipper Manny Acta called the 34-year-old DH "day-to-day." Hafner is hitting .242/.380/.439 with six home runs and 23 RBI in 39 games played this season.

Josh Tomlin (wrist) tossed a successful 50-pitch simulated game on Thursday morning.
Tomlin threw all his pitches and got a thumbs up from his skipper. He looked good," said Manny Acta. "He's expected to be fine." The 27-year-old starter was diagnosed last week with intersection syndrome in his right wrist but could be ready to return by the end of May.

Roberto Hernandez
Suspended
Indians manager Manny Acta said Monday that Roberto Hernandez is confident he will receive his travel visa and return to the team.
Hernandez, formerly known as Fausto Carmona, was arrested in his native Dominican Republic in January for falsifying his identity. He reached a deal last month to have the charges dropped in exchange for completing a work program, but it's not clear when he'll receive a visa to travel to the United States. It's possible that MLB could still levy a suspension, though the Indians are hopeful that reducing his salary will serve as an appropriate punishment. He's staying in playing shape in the meantime.
