CLEVELAND – The Indians and their fans may get a longer look at former first-round pick Bradley Zimmer than first expected, as the news today on outfielder Abraham Almonte has him out for the next few weeks.
The Indians announced today that Almonte was re-evaluated on Tuesday and underwent an MRI to his right arm/shoulder area after leaving Monday’s game against the Rays.
The exam and MRI confirmed a high grade strain to his biceps tendon. Abraham will be shut down from activity and is expected to miss 3-to-5 weeks before return to activity.
