Jeanmar Gomez - S - Indians

Jeanmar Gomez gave up six runs over 5 2/3 innings Friday against the White Sox.

Gomez struggled with his command, walking four and throwing just 66 of his 110 pitches for strikes. His record now stands at 3-3 on the season, though his 3.84 ERA isn't terrible. If Gomez continues to struggle, the Indians could opt to give Zach McAllister an extend look in the majors.

Asdrubal Cabrera - SS - Indians

Asdrubal Cabrera (hamstring) will be re-evaluated Saturday.

Cabrera was removed from Friday's game for precautionary reasons due to tightness in his left hamstring. It's not a major concern, but the Indians could sit him for a couple days.

Carlos Santana - C - Indians

Carlos Santana (dizziness) will be re-evaluated Saturday.

Santana left Friday's game in the eighth inning after taking a foul ball off his facemask. Though he experienced some dizziness, his exit was considered precautionary and there are no apparent signs of a concussion. While that's good news, we suspect he'll be rested Saturday.

Carlos Santana - C - Indians

Carlos Santana left Friday's game against the White Sox after taking a foul ball off his facemask in the eighth inning.

Santana went 0-for-4 with an RBI groundout before a foul ball off the bat of Alex Rios hit him in the mask. He was replaced by Lou Marson behind the plate. We'll likely hear more on his status following the game, but we're assuming he'll be sent for concussion tests.

Asdrubal Cabrera - SS - Indians

Asdrubal Cabrera left Friday's game after six innings with tightness in his left hamstring.

No word yet on the severity of the injury. Cabrera went 1-for-3 with an RBI single before leaving the game. We'll likely hear more about his status after the game, but it would be smart to have a backup plan in place this weekend.

Jack Hannahan - 3B - Indians

Indians manager Manny Acta said that Jack Hannahan (back) is tentatively scheduled to return to the starting lineup Saturday.

Hannahan hasn't played since May 13 due to a sore lower back, but he has felt improvement in recent days. Jose Lopez has played well during his absence and could see some time in the DH spot with Travis Hafner (knee) sidelined.

Michael Brantley - OF - Indians

Updating a previous item, Michael Brantley is just getting a normal day off Friday.

Brantley appeared to tweak his ankle running the bases Thursday, but he's just fine. Aaron Cunningham will start in center field Friday.

Travis Hafner - DH - Indians

Travis Hafner received a cortisone shot in his right knee on Thursday.

Hafner hasn't played since fouling a fall off his right knee during Wednesday's game. It was originally deemed as a day-to-day-type situation, but that's clearly not the case. In fact, Indians trainer Lonnie Soloff said if Hafner's knee doesn't respond by next week, other scenarios will be examined. It's fair to say that includes the possibility of surgery. Stay tuned.

Michael Brantley - OF - Indians

Michael Brantley is not in Friday's lineup.

It's not clear if his absence is injury-related, but he did tweak his ankle on the basepaths Thursday. Aaron Cunningham will make the start in center field Friday.

Travis Hafner - DH - Indians

Travis Hafner (leg) is out of the Indians' lineup for the second straight day Friday.

Hafner is day-to-day after fouling a ball off his right leg during Wednesday's game. Shelley Duncan will serve as the DH Friday against the White Sox.

Josh Tomlin - S - Indians

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.

Juan Diaz - SS - Indians

Indians recalled INF Juan Diaz from Double-A Akron.

Diaz was batting just .232/.280/.348 with three homers at Akron. He'll provide infield depth.
May 25 - 12:30 PM
Zach McAllister - S - Indians

Indians optioned RHP Zach McAllister to Triple-A Buffalo.

McAllister has fared well in his chances with the Tribe this season, holding a 3.96 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 22/6 K/BB ratio across 25 innings, but he's no longer needed with Josh Tomlin ready to return from the DL.
May 25 - 12:28 PM
Justin Masterson - S - Indians

Justin Masterson held the Tigers to one run and five hits in seven innings to win Thursday for just the second time this year.

With five more walks today, Masterson is sitting at 34 in 62 1/3 innings for the season. That's way up from last year's pace (he finished with 65 walks in 216 innings then). He remains a shaky play in mixed leagues as a result, but that he gets the Royals next week makes him a better choice.
May 24 - 2:45 PM
Shelley Duncan - OF - Indians

Shelley Duncan went 0-for-3 before coming out of Thursday's game against the Tigers for a defensive replacement.

Duncan has just one hit in part-time play the last two weeks, and his average sits at .198 for the year. The Indians would likely give more of his playing time away if Johnny Damon wasn't struggling just as mightily.
