Manager Terry Francona said Swisher received the injection after an MRI taken Sunday revealed no structural damage. Francona said Swisher will be "down for a couple of days" and is not likely to play during the Indians three-game series against Kansas City. The Indians are off Thursday and Swisher could return for Fridays series opener against Minnesota. Francona said its possible Swisher could still end up on the disabled list, but "thats not our first choice." "The hope is that with maintenance moving forward we can kind of stay ahead of it," Francona said. Swishers shoulder has been bothering him for some time, and Francona said the switch-hitter made it worse with "big swings" during a weekend series against Washington. Swisher signed a four-year, $56 million contract with Cleveland in December. He recently went through an 0-for-27 slump and has just six hits in his last 55 at-bats. His average has dropped to .237. Francona doesnt know if Swishers injury affected his swing. "I dont think it helped it," he said. "Its hard to tell. Guys get banged up so much." With Swisher sidelined, Mark Reynolds moved from third base and started at first for Mondays series opener with the Royals. John McDonald made his second straight start at third. Also, Indians closer Chris Perez will make a second rehab appearance on Tuesday before the Indians consider activating him from the disabled list.

Perez allowed two hits and struck out one during an inning for Lake County (A) on Sunday. He wasnt happy with his command, but said he felt good after playing catch Monday. "Its getting better every day," he said. "I wish I could have come back sooner, but Ill take it." While he was out, Perez was charged with misdemeanour drug abuse after a package of marijuana was mailed to his home in suburban Rocky River. Perez has had a rocky relationship with Indians fans, but said hes not concerned about how hell be received when he returns to the mound. Francona believes Indians fans only want to see Perez close games. "I think if he gets em out, theyll cheer," he said. "Thats normally the way it is for a closer. I think baseball fans, and people in general, dont mind forgiving. If you treat people right, I think theyll treat you right back. With us, hes been really good and really mature about it and were kind of looking forward to moving on." Nike Free 3.0 Flyknit Uomo . In what the team had called a retirement, Ryan said Thursday that he is resigning as chief executive of the Rangers in a move effective at the end of this month. Nike Free 5.0 Uomo Saldi . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. http://www.scarpefreerunning.it/nike-air-max-2017-scontate/air-max-2017-nere.html .
