Marlins second baseman Donovan Solano played six innings Tuesday in the first game of a doubleheader for Class A Jupiter in his minor-league rehab debut.

Solano went 3 for 3 with an RBI, his first action since suffering a strained intercostal muscle early in May.  

Marlins second baseman Donovan Solano will begin his minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday for Class A Jupiter. Solano, who has been out since May 7 with an intercostals strain, will play second base in the first game of the team's doubleheader Tuesday. 

The Indians placed shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday with a right quadriceps strain, which he suffered Monday against the Yankees. Juan Diaz was recalled from Triple-A Columbus to take Cabrera's roster spot, but Mike Aviles is expected to see the bulk of playing time at shortstop in Cabrera's absence.

Astros first baseman Chris Carter homered for the second time in three June games and for the third time in his last five games Monday against the Angels. Carter also extended his hitting streak to six games, batting .333 (6 for 18) with one double, three home runs and seven RBI.

Prior to hitting a home run May 30, Carter went 14 games without a home run.

Cleveland designated hitter Carlos Santana drove in two runs on Monday during a loss in New York. 

Santana went 2 for 4 with a ground-rule double that scored Michael Bourn and Nick Swisher in the fifth inning to tie the score up at four. New York won 7-4. 

The 27-year-old Santana has gone 5 for 8 in his last two games to get his average back up to .288. He has eight homers and 24 RBI on the season with 14 doubles and 31 runs scored for the Indians. 

Indians shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera is likely headed to the disabled list after coming out of Monday's game in New York, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. Cabrera will return to Cleveland Tuesday after further examination on his aggravated quad injury. 

Manager Terry Francona indicated following Cleveland's 7-4 loss to the Yankees that it is likely Cabrera is headed to the DL. Mike Aviles is expected to play shortstop in his absence. 

"There was a lot of pain," Cabrera said after the game. "There's still a lot of pain."

Indians shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera suffered a strained right quadriceps in Monday's game against the Yankees, CBS Sports Baseball Insider Danny Knobler reports. 

Cabrera pulled up running to first in the fifth inning. Mike Aviles replaced him at short and will do so going forward until he can return. Cabrera is loosely considered day to day, as Cleveland has not given word as to how long he might be out. 

Indians shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera had to be helped off the field Monday in a game against the Yankees, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Cabrera, who had been dealing with a sore quad and playing through the issue, may have re-aggravated the injury running to first base. He was helped off the field by manager Terry Francona and head athletic trainer Lonnie Soloff and was not putting any weight on his right leg.

Batting third to start the night, Cabrera was 0 for 2 with a strikeout to lower his average to .254. He had a sacrifice in the game before leaving.

Cabrera entered Monday with hits in eight of his previous 10 games, including a homer and five RBI. He has five HRs on the year with 25 RBI.

The Twins have optioned infielder Chris Colabello back to Triple-A Rochester Sunday. Colabello is hitting .133 (1 for 6) in the majors. He is hitting .358 with 12 homers and 39 RBI in 46 games at Triple-A.

Freddie Freeman had two hits Sunday and drove in two runs to help the Atlanta Braves defeat Washington. The first baseman was 2 for 4.

In his last 10 games, Freeman is hitting .405 with three home runs, 10 RBI and eight runs scored. The downside is that he's walked once in that span.

Freeman's batting average is .314 and he has five home runs, 27 runs scored and 36 RBI.
