"He's doing very well today," Francona said. "He's actually going to go through the entire workout, but he still needs to pass a test before he's allowed to be placed on the active roster, which makes sense to everybody."
As anticipated, the Tribe placed left fielder Michael Brantley (right shoulder) and right fielder Lonnie Chisenhall (left wrist) on the 15-day disabled list on Sunday, while adding outfielder Marlon Byrd and lefty Ross Detwiler to the active roster. To clear room on the 40-man roster for Byrd and Detwiler, the Indians designated utility man Zach Walters and lefty Giovanni Soto for assignment.
