MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Cleveland Indians manager Manny Acta says an MRI on Grady Sizemore’s injured right knee only revealed the bone bruise that has been there all along.
Acta says there is no timetable for the outfielder’s return.
Sizemore was injured while running the bases against Baltimore and was placed on the disabled list on Monday. Acta says “it doesn’t appear to be anything as serious as we might fear.”
Sizemore is hitting .237 with 10 homers and 29 RBIs in 61 games this season. Acta says the injuries to team leaders Sizemore and Shin-Soo Choo increase the need for the team to make a trade as it fights to stay in first place in the AL Central.
The Indians faced the Twins on Tuesday night.
