According to The Sports Xchange notes: Asdrubal Cabrera is hitting just .182, but manager Eric Wedge said Cabrera's struggles at the plate are more than made up for by his defensive play at second base and shortstop. "What he's meant to us defensively can't be overstated," Wedge said.

The Sports Xchange reports that Indians 2B Asdrubal Cabrera is hitting .123 in his last 21 games, since April 27.

Indians 2B Asdrubal Cabrera snapped an 0-for-20 slump with a fourth-inning single Saturday.

Cabrera turns unassisted double play in loss

Indians 2B Asdrubal Cabrera hit his first home run since Sept. 17 on Monday when he took Blue Jays SP A.J. Burnett deep in a 3-0 win. Cabrera connected for the two-run homer on a 1-1 pitch in the seventh inning during Game 1 of a doubleheader. It was his only hit in three at-bats. Cabrera is now 3-for-7 (.429) with three RBI in his last two games.

Asdrubal Cabrera got the pitch he wanted and gave the Cleveland Indians a win they nearly threw away. Cabrera broke an 0-for-14 slump with a two-out, bases-loaded single in the 11th inning to lift Cleveland over the Seattle Mariners 3-2 on Thursday night. "It was like pulling teeth," Indians manager Eric Wedge said. "If we had done a better job earlier, we'd have never been in that situation."
