GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — Veteran pitcher Jason Grilli and promising rookie Jordan Brown were both injured at Cleveland Indians spring training camp.

Grilli, a right-hander in camp as a non-roster free agent, had his right leg immobilized as he rode a cart to the trainer’s room after getting hurt during agility drills on Friday.

Brown got into a cart on his own after being injured while shagging fly balls.

An Indians spokesman said both players were being examined.

Brown, a 26-year-old first baseman/outfielder who won the Triple-A International League batting title with a .336 average last season, was replaced in the starting lineup by Austin Kearns.

Cleveland plays the Cincinnati Reds in the exhibition opener for both teams.
