Cleveland All-Star shortstop, Asdrubal Cabrera was injured in last night's 7-4 loss to the New York Yankees. Cabrera was injured during the 5th inning while attempting to run out a ground ball, and had to be carried off the field. He will return to Cleveland on Tuesday
for an MRI on a strained quadriceps muscle, which Terry Francona believes will land him on the disabled list.

Mike Aviles started the game at second base to give Jason Kipnis a night off, but was moved to short to replace Cabrera. If Cabrera does go on the disabled list, Aviles will take over starting shortstop duties. Aviles is hitting .283 on the season with 3 homeruns and 18 RBI in 39 games for the Tribe this season. Cord Phelps would most likely be called up to help out on the bench, having played three different infield positions when needed (2B: 28 games, SS: 1 game, 3B: 1 game).
