Hagadone has an ERA of 4.28 this season in 36 appearances. Only Bryan Shaw and Marc Rzepczynski have appeared in more games.
Hagadone said the injury is nothing serious, just some soreness. The Indians wanted to take advantage of the upcoming All-Star break and give Hagadone some rest.
“It’s kind of some up in the last couple days with a lot of use in the last 3-4 days,” Hagadone said. “Just something we thought we could take care of now, especially with the All-Star break coming up. … It’s not something anybody wants to do but taking a couple weeks now is better than taking more time later.
