Cleveland Indians pitcher Fausto Carmona was injured during Friday's game.

According to the Associated Press, "Carmona... strained his left hip covering first on a ball hit by Murphy to first baseman Ryan Garko. Carmona was slow to the bag and Murphy beat it out for a single, putting runners on first and third with none out... The right-hander, a 19-game winner a year ago who came in with a 2.25 ERA, threw one strike to Brandon Boggs, then backed off and called trainer Lonnie Soloff to the mound. Carmona flexed his left leg, threw one practice pitch, then walked off. He is day-to-day." Yet another bad break for the struggling Tribe.

The morning paper says Carmona is expected to miss four weeks. He was placed on the 15-day DL over the weekend.

This was a big blow to the indians. Their offense was already struggling. Without Carmona the pitching staff will be weakened. At least now Laffey should not have to go down to the minors. He won't have to be moved to make room for Westbrook.
