Player Notes
July 19, 2007
Franklin Gutierrez missed Thursday's game due to a stiff back. Manager Eric Wedge said the outfielder should return to the lineup on Friday, according to the AP. He's been playing well of late, picking up a homer and three steals over the previous four games, so hopefully this is just a minor ailment.

Franklin Gutierrez hit a solo homer in his second start since being recalled from Triple-A last Thursday. “he’s hit the ball hard in small stretches before,” manager Eric Wedge told the Akron Beacon Journal of the inconsistent Gutierrez. “But this year at Triple-A, he was making consistent hard contact. Hopefully, it will play up here. I think it will.” Gutierrez's two starts in the last week have come against left-handed pitching, a platoon situation that is unlikely to change and that limits his fantasy value.

The Indians recalled Franklin Gutierrez from Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, according to the AP. In 30 games with Buffalo this year, he hit .341 with four homers, 16 RBI and seven stolen bases. It's unlikely he'll see much playing time in Cleveland's crowded outfield.

Franklin Gutierrez was activated from the 15-day disabled list and optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, according to the AP. Gutierrez, who was out with a hamstring injury, was injured during spring training while running out a grounder.
April 1, 2007
The Indians placed Franklin Gutierrez on the DL Sunday due to a hamstring injury, according to the AP. The move is retroactive to March 23, so he'll be eligible to come off the DL on April 7, at which point he should be assigned to Triple-A if he's ready.
