The Cleveland Indians have placed All-Star shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera on the bereavement list after a death in the family.
The team said Cabrera has returned to his native Venezuela after the death in his immediate family. He must be on the list for a minimum of three days.
The Indians recalled left-hander Nick Hagadone from Triple-A Columbus before opening a three-game series in Seattle.
Cabrera is batting .282 with two homers and three RBI. The 26-year-old hit 25 homers -- the most by a Cleveland shortstop -- and drove in 92 runs in 2011. He recently signed a new three-year extension that will keep him with the Indians through 2014.
Hagadone pitched in nine games for Cleveland last season. He's had four scoreless relief appearances for the Clippers this season.

If you forced me to guess, I would say that I’ve probably written more words about Justin Masterson than about any other human being on the face of the planet. Which is kind of weird for me to acknowledge, considering I’ve written a freaking master’s thesis and am, as Denny would say, “allegedly educated”.
But when you consider that I write mostly about baseball these...

When the Indians took the field in search of their fifth straight win to take on the Seattle Mariners, things immediately looked different. First and foremost, The Grinder Eric Wedge sent lefty Jason Vargas out to the hill and as we know, left-handed starters, no matter how good they are, have been known to give the Wahoos problems. Acta countered by using as right-handed heavy...
