Vinnie Pestano gave up two runs on a hit and a walk in two-thirds of an inning Monday against the Twins.
There are few more dominant relievers in the game than Pestano. So despite issuing three walks in his previous appearance on Thursday, we'll chalk this up simply to an off night. The right-hander owns a 3.07 ERA and 1.16 WHIP through 14 2/3 innings.
May 15 - 5:06 AM
Vinnie Pestano has fanned seven batters and walked none through 4 2/3 innings this season.
Pestano registered a sparkling 84/24 K/BB ratio in 62 frames last year, and clearly didn't lose any of his dominance over the winter. The 27-year-old righty is second in line for saves in Cleveland behind Chris Perez.
Apr 16 - 10:45 AM
Chris Perez-handcuff Vinnie Pestano struck out the side in his one inning of work in Monday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks.
He also mixed in a walk and a hit, but you get the idea. In line to be the Indians' stopper if Perez (oblique) isn't ready for Opening Day, Pestano has started off his spring with four scoreless frames, fanning five in the process.
Mar 12 - 8:30 PM
Indians manager Manny Acta said Sunday that Vinnie Pestano will be his closer if Chris Perez isn't ready for the ninth inning at the start of the regular season.
Perez's (oblique) goal is to return by March 15 and be healthy for Opening Day. He was given a 4-6 week timetable, however, so it's reasonable to pessimistic about his optimism. We think Perez will likely start the season on the shelf, meaning Pestano will see save opportunities and hold mixed league value until the incumbent returns. Pestano, 27, posted a 2.32 ERA and 84/24 K/BB rate over 62 innings during his rookie campaign in 2011. Keep an eye on Perez's progress over the next month before deciding to spend a late-round pick on his replacement.

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) will be activated from the disabled list and rejoin the rotation on Monday against the Royals.
Tomlin tossed a successful 50-pitch simulated game on Thursday and won't need a rehab assignment before returning. His pitch count figures to be limited Monday.

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.
