CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Indians have placed infielder Mike Aviles on the family medical emergency list for the second time this season.
Aviles' 4-year-old daughter, Adriana, was diagnosed with leukemia in May. He was originally on the list from May 8-14 and was moved to the restricted list from May 15-17 before returning to the Indians.
Several Indians players, coaches and front office employees, including owner Paul Dolan, shaved their heads in support of Aviles' family. Adriana Aviles has been undergoing treatment at Cleveland Clinic.
A player can be on the family emergency list for 3-7 days.
