The Indians have bounced shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera from seventh in the batting order in the opener to leadoff in the second game of the regular season Wednesday in Oakland.

Terry Francona was encouraged by his performance this spring as Cabrera seeks to recover from a miserable year at the plate in 2013. Cabrera will likely continue to hit at that spot against left-handers such as Wednesday starter Scott Kazmir until Michael Bourn (hamstring) returns to the lineup.
