Asdrubal Cabrera went 3-for-5 with two RBI on Saturday, leading the Indians to a 7-6 defeat of the Tigers.
Cabrera laced an RBI double to right field in the second inning to put the Tribe on top 3-0, then added an RBI single in the sixth to increase the lead to 5-1. He still has a disappointing .238/.301/.426 batting line this season, but there could be positive results ahead. May 11 - 10:51 PM

Asdrubal Cabrera hit a pair of solo homers Monday in the Indians' 7-3 victory over the Athletics.

It's great news for the Indians that both Jason Kipnis and Cabrera have heated up over the last week. Those two hit back-to-back homers off Jarrod Parker in the first inning tonight. The Indians also got a solo shot from Mark Reynolds in the win, which moved them back over .500 at 15-14.
May 6 - 10:28 PM

Asdrubal Cabrera (quad) is back in Friday's lineup against the Indians.

Cabrera tweaked his right quad stealing a base on Monday and sat out back-to-back games, but it was never a major concern. The 27-year-old is batting just .156 (10-for-64) with two homers and five RBI through 17 games.
Apr 26 - 4:46 PM

Asdrubal Cabrera is currently sidelined with a right quad injury.

Cabrera tweaked his quad stealing a base Monday and will miss his second straight game Wednesday. Consider him day-to-day for now.

Asdrubal Cabrera isn't in Wednesday's lineup against the White Sox.

Cabrera didn't play Tuesday and is getting another day off Wednesday. Apparently his wrist isn't 100 percent quite yet. Mike Aviles will start in his place at shortstop.
Apr 24 - 11:55 AM

Asdrubal Cabrera drove in the tying and go-ahead runs with a two-out single in the eighth inning of Monday's comeback win over the White Sox.

White Sox reliever Matt Thornton's throwing error on a pickoff attempt put runners at second and third for the Tribe, and Cabrera came through. It was his only hit in four trips to the plate, but the Indians will take it given the shortstop's early-season struggles. Cabrera, who is now batting just .156, also added his first stolen base of the season.

Asdrubal Cabrera (wrist) is not in the Indians' starting lineup Sunday against the Astros.

Cabrera fell down the dugout steps before Saturday's game and was lifted for precautionary reasons after two at-bats. He's considered day-to-day with a mild contusion on his left wrist. Mike Aviles started at shortstop in Cabrera's absence Sunday.
Apr 21 - 12:54 PM

Asdrubal Cabrera left Saturday's game against the Astros with a left wrist contusion.

Cabrera exited the game after batting twice in the first inning. Mike Aviles replaced him, and if Cabrera will have to miss extended time Aviles is the player most likely to take over at shortstop. It's unclear just how serious Cabrera's injury is at this point.
Apr 20 - 8:02 PM

Asdrubal Cabrera singled and struck out in Thursday's loss to the Red Sox.

Cabrera is hitting just .127 (7-for-55) on the young season and has yet to produce a multi-hit game. The 27-year-old shortstop is striking out at a much higher rate than anything we have seen in the past, so it's fair to expect him to get back to normal soon.
Apr 18 - 10:27 PM

Asdrubal Cabrera hit a two-run home run off R.A. Dickey in the Indians' season opener on Tuesday.

Cabrera enjoyed a breakout in 2011 but took a step back last season in his encore. The 27-year-old shortstop has some legitimate pop, hitting 41 homers combined over the last two seasons, so Tuesday's home run will likely not be his last. He could eclipse 20 if everything goes right in Cleveland this year.
Apr 2 - 10:08 PM

Asdrubal Cabrera (back) returned to the Indians' lineup Saturday.

Cabrera missed the last six games with a lower back injury, but it was never a major concern. The Indians fully expect him to be ready for the start of the season.
Mar 30 - 2:04 PM

Asdrubal Cabrera (back) said Thursday that he fully expects to be ready for the start of the regular season.

Cabrera has been bothered for the past few days by a minor back strain. It's not a big concern in Tribe camp.
Mar 28 - 12:12 PM

Asdrubal Cabrera (back) is slated to resume hitting Wednesday.

Cabrera hasn't played since Friday due to a back strain. He'll likely be held out of action for at least one more day, but the Indians are focused on getting him ready for Opening Day.
Mar 27 - 12:26 PM

Asdrubal Cabrera (back) isn't ready to resume hitting.

Cabrera hasn't played since Friday due to a back strain. He was originally scheduled to hit Tuesday, but the trainers are giving him an extra day. The expectation is that he'll be fine for Opening Day.
Mar 26 - 3:08 PM

Asdrubal Cabrera was scratched from Sunday's lineup after tweaking his back on a swing in the batting cage.

It sounds like a day-to-day injury at this point. Cabrera is batting .281/.378/.531 with a homer and seven RBI this spring.
