If one were to take a look at the Cleveland Indians’ injuries, that person would surely write off the team. With Michael Brantley spending most of the season on the disabled list, the outfield has been a collection of major league hopefuls and aging veterans. Back-up catcher Roberto Perez couldn’t avoid the injury bug either, and he might not be back until much later in the season.
Even the pitchers failed to stay healthy. Carlos Carrasco, whom I picked to win the American League Cy Young Award, hurt his hamstring and, and now Joba Chamberlain is on the shelf.
