The Cleveland Indians announced that
infielder Asdrubal Cabrera and pitcher Chris Perez both underwent a surgical
procedure on Wednesday at the Cleveland Clinic Sports Center.
Cabrera had loose bodies removed during a 30-minute right elbow arthroscopy
performed by Dr. Mark Schickendantz. The 23-year-old will remain in Cleveland
for the next 4-to-6 weeks and will begin his normal offseason strength and
conditioning program in December.
Perez had a procedure done on his left ankle to remove a loose bone and a
cyst. He will also be able to begin his offseason conditioning program on
schedule.
Cabrera enjoyed a breakout season in 2009, hitting .308 with six homers and 68
runs batted in over 131 games.
Perez, 24, joined the Indians in June through a trade that sent Mark DeRosa to
the Cardinals. In 61 combined appearances for the two clubs this season, he
went 1-2 with two saves and a 4.26 earned run average.
