The Associated Press reports Cleveland Indians 2B Asdrubal Cabrera had four hits Wednesday, July 30.

Cabrera was due for a breakout performance like this one, as he entered the night mired in a 6-for-35 slump. Wednesday upped his average 14 points, from .185 to .199.

Nice to see Cabrera leave the yard, as he'd failed to go deep since May 12. The second-year infielder has a ways to go before he'll reenter the realm of fantasy relevance, as he's batting just .187 with a lowly .282 on-base percentage in 61 games this season.

Asdrubal Cabrera went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer as the Indians topped the Tigers on Monday night. Since being promoted a week and a half ago, Cabrera has hit just .207 with a double, a homer and four runs scored. Tonight's RBI were his first. The Indians figure to give him an extended look at second, but he'll need to show something over the last two months.

AL-only owners should take a long hard look at releasing or replacing Indians' utiltyman Jamey Carroll. With the team dumping salary and going nowhere this season, expect Carroll to collect splinters in favor of recently recalled Asdrubal Cabrera.Carroll's lack of power should make him an easy dump for managers looking to improve their roster and pick up at bats in the stretch run.

Indians bring back Cabrera from minors

Asdrubal Cabrera is expected to be officially recalled from Triple-A Buffalo today, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Manager Eric Wedge commented on his return to the Indians by saying, "I just felt like it was the right time. We think he's on the right path physically and he's shown better fundamentals. He's getting back to the player he needs to be. We'll have some challenges for his playing time."Wedge is referring to him pushing Jamey Carroll at second base, and noted that Cabrera will spell Jhonny Peralta at shortstop when needed, and added that he is expected to play quite a bit. He is worth a look in AL-only leagues, assuming he can bounce back and raise his .184 batting average.

The Indians are expected to recall infielder Asdrubal Cabrera from Triple-A Buffalo prior to Friday's game against Seattle, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Indians already outrighted infielder Jorge Velandia off the 40-man roster to Triple-A Buffalo today.Cabrera opened the season as the Indians' starting second baseman, but was sent down in June as he struggled with a .184 average over 52 games. He is expected to remain at second, and could split time with Jamey Carroll. He is worth a look in AL-only leagues if you could use depth in your middle infield.
