Travis Hafner's return has been put off, and the Cleveland Indians' slugger now has a date with a surgeon in Alabama. This is definitely not a good development for the Sykeston, ND, native.
Apparently surgery is an 'unlikely' option, according to an MLB story, but the surgeon will evaluate what needs to be done next to speed up Hafner's recovery.
He has been on the 15-day disabled list since May 30 and had been projected to rejoin the Tribe this week.

Cleveland added another bat to their AAA lineup on Tuesday, acquiring Morgan Ensberg who had been designated for assignment by the Yankees. Ensberg can play either first or third base and might be an option to DH.

Is it just me or does the steroid chatter keep increasing around Pronk? Production down, injuries up? Is something missing? Hmmm...
I don't think it is steroids as much as MLB pitchers have started to figure him out. Before running through a couple injuries in the last couple of years, pitchers had pretty much just stopped pitching strikes to him on a consistent basis.
Then you factor in the injuries, he is over 30, even though I always think of him as younger because he was a late bloomer into the league, and I think that is probably more of a factor than vitamin S.
You never know though, I would have never guessed half the people that served suspensions were using steroids. Just have to trust in the testing, and the subsequent suspensions that follow.
