Fausto Carmona : May 25th, 2008, 1:30 pm est
Indians SP Fausto Carmona is expected to be sidelined four weeks with a strained left hip. An MRI exam revealed a moderate strain of an exterior muscle in Carmona's left hip, Lonnie Soloff, Cleveland's head athletic trainer, said Sunday. 'The good news is that there was no damage to the interior, which would have been much more serious,' Soloff said. 'If all goes well, Fausto should be able to start playing catch in about seven days.' The Indians are expected to activate right-hander Jake Westbrook to take Carmona's place in the rotation, which has an AL-best 3.21 ERA this season.
