Prior to tonight’s game against the Boston Red Sox, the Cleveland Indians put outfielder Rajai Davis on the disabled list with a “non-disclosed medical condition,” which can mean anything from a stubbed toe to the team just wanting to shift around their roster a bit.
Now, given the timing of the trip — it allowed the Indians to hold onto Yandy Diaz for a bit longer, and Davis can conveniently come back when rosters expand on September 1 — speculation quickly jumped to this being a trip to the “disabled list,” as in a holding pattern while the Indians sort out their roster for a big series against the Red Sox.
