Asdrubal Cabrera nearing a return
Indians shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera was taking grounders prior to Friday's game, another sign that he is making progress and could be back by the end of June.
"Asdrubal is doing terrific," Indians manager Terry Francona told MLB.com. "He's going to do all baseball activities, and he's going to go with us to Baltimore. The anticipation is actually, when we get through that Baltimore series, he might be pretty darned close to being cleared to play."
Cabrera's first choice is not to go on a minor-league rehab assignment, in which case he could be back by the start of a series in Chicago June 28. However, Leyland told reporters that Cabrera is willing to go down to the minors if that is what the team wants.
"He's great about it," Francona said. "He said, 'I'll do whatever you want. I really don't want to do [a Minor League rehab assignment], but I'll do it if you want me to.' We'll kind of see where we're at and see what's in his best interest."
