The Tampa Bay Rays won another close game Monday night, defeating the Indians 4-3 in eleven innings. However, the biggest news of the night involved Cleveland's Asdrubal Cabrera, who went down with a serious injury.
Cleveland’s Asdrubal Breaks Forearm In On-Field Collision
Cleveland lost more than the game on Monday, however, as shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera was carted off the field in the first inning with a broken left forearm after colliding with Peralta on a ground ball. He will meet with doctors in the coming days to determine if surgery is necessary to repair the injury.
Here was how the injury was described by Lets Go Tribe:
the Indians employed the shift against Hank Blalock, with Asdrubal Cabrera positioned just to the right of second base, and third baseman Jhonny Peralta to the left of the bag. Blalock hit a grounder just about equidistant between the two players, and both went for the ball. Cabrera nabbed the ball diving to his right, and Peralta's knee fell on Cabrera's extended left arm. Cabrera remained on his stomach and in excruciating pain. He left the field on a cart with a temporary splint on his left forearm, and although the Indians haven't officially said anything specific about the injury, it's almost a given that Cabrera will be out quite a while.
