CHICAGO (AP) — The Cleveland Indians are putting slugger Edwin Encarnacion on the disabled list because of swelling in his left biceps.Manager Terry Francona made the announcement after the AL Central leaders beat the Chicago White Sox 3-1 on Saturday night. Encarnacion left Friday night’s game and had an MRI in Cleveland on Saturday.“There’s some swelling in the bicep and it’s not bad at all Jose Fernandez Jersey ,” Francona said. “Between the wrist and the bicep, I think we just thought 10 days, letting him come back and being Edwin made the most sense.”Francona said X-rays on Encarnacion’s right hand “came back actually really good, really clean.”Third on the team with 25 homers and second with 81 RBIs, Encarnacion has struggled since being hit on the right hand by Yankees reliever Chad Green before the All-Star break. He has often been swinging with one hand http://www.marlinsfanproshop.com/authentic-martin-prado-jersey , putting more stress on his upper arms.Losing their cleanup hitter for any significant time would be a blow for the Indians, who lead the division by 11 games.With Encarnacion going on the DL, Francona said infielder Yandy Diaz is being recalled from Triple-A Columbus. PHOENIX (AP) — The Los Angeles Angels have placed Justin Upton on the 10-day disabled list with a cut on his left index finger, but they expect Mike Trout will rejoin the team by the end of the week.The Angels announced Upton’s move Tuesday prior to a game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, retroactive to Sunday. The Angels called up outfielder Jabari Blash from Triple-A Salt Lake to take Upton’s place on the active roster.“You keep going Andre Dawson Jersey ,” Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Tuesday. “You’re certainly not going to sit back and feel sorry for yourself, or no one’s going to feel sorry for you.”Scioscia says Upton was injured Sunday night after getting the day off when the Angels played at Texas. He’d hoped the cut had healed enough to allow Upton to face his former team, the Diamondbacks, this week.Trout, on the DL with a wrist injury Wei-Yin Chen Jersey , has been away from the team following the death of his brother-in-law, former Angels pitching prospect Aaron Cox.
