DENVER (AP) -Indians designated hitter Travis Hafner was advised by Dr. James Andrews to continue with a strengthening program for his right shoulder.
Hafner has been on the disabled list since May 30 with a sore shoulder. He got a second opinion Wednesday from Andrews who agreed with the Indians’ Dr. Mark Schickendantz that Hafner needs continued strengthening of the rotator cuff and shoulder girdle.
Hafner will be re-evaluated within a week to 10 days. He is hitting .217 with four home runs this season and has been bothered by the shoulder since spring training.
The 31-year-old Hafner is Cleveland’s career leader at DH with 134 home runs and 464 RBIs.
