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 - SS - Indians

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 - SS - Indians

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.

Asdrubal Cabrera - SS - Indians

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 - SS - Indians

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.

Asdrubal Cabrera - SS - Indians

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.

Apr 22 - 11:23 PM

Asdrubal Cabrera - SS - Indians

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.

Asdrubal Cabrera - SS - Indians

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.

Asdrubal Cabrera - SS - Indians

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 - SS - Indians

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 - SS - Indians

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.

Asdrubal Cabrera - SS - Indians

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

Asdrubal Cabrera - SS - Indians

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

Asdrubal Cabrera - SS - Indians

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.

	3	Brett Myers D.L. Brett Myers (elbow) fared well in his first minor league rehab start with Double-A Akron on Friday, allowing just one hit and a walk over three scoreless innings of work. Myers threw 33 pitches in the game, 18 for strikes. He's dealing with a mild UCL tear in his elbow, but has chosen to try to pitch through the injury rather than undergoing surgery. It's a good first step, but he'll need several rehab outings before rejoining the Indians' rotation. May 17

	5	Scott Kazmir
	6	Trevor Bauer
	7	Josh Tomlin D.L. Indians placed RHP Josh Tomlin on the 60-day disabled list with a right elbow injury. The move was made in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for the arrival of Michael Bourn. Tomlin is recovering from Tommy John surgery and is expected to miss the entire 2013 campaign. Feb 15

	10	Blake Wood D.L. Blake Wood (elbow) will continue his minor league rehab assignment Wednesday with Class A Lake County. Wood felt some soreness in his surgically-repaired elbow during his first appearance on Saturday, but it was only a minor scare. The 27-year-old right-hander is currently in recovery mode from Tommy John surgery and will likely need a handful of appearances before he's a legitimate consideration for the major league roster. May 14
	11	Frank Herrmann D.L. Indians transferred RHP Frank Herrmann from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move clears a spot for the newly-claimed Robert Whitenack on the 40-man roster. Herrmann had Tommy John surgery in March and will miss the entire 2013 season. Apr 3
