May 25 - 5:32 PM

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.

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 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.

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.
