Cleveland Indians' Terry Francona 'trusts' that Lonnie Chisenhall is ready

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Right fielder Lonnie Chisenhall is back and Collin Cowgill is headed for Class AAA Columbus. Such is life in the big leagues where every action prompts a reaction when it involves a player.

Chisenhall started in right field on Wednesday night against Seattle's Taijuan Walker. It has taken him longer than expected to get to that spot.

He struggled in spring training with a sore right forearm and an impingement in his left wrist. After hitting .077 (2-for-26) in Cactus League play, he opened the year on the disabled list.
