Asdrubal Cabrera recalled

The Cleveland Indians recalled Asdrubal Cabrera today. The young second baseman arrives just in time for the Indians' three game set against the Seattle Mariners. To make room for Cabrera, Cleveland sent infielder Jorge Velandia to Triple-A Buffalo.

In 141 minor league at bats, Asdrubal hit for an impressive .326 batting average with 4 home runs and 13 RBI's. Before being sent to the minors in early June, Cabrera was hitting .184 for the Indians.
