CLEVELAND (AP) -The Indians placed third baseman Andy Marte on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left hamstring Monday.
Marte was injured running out a grounder against Tampa Bay on Sunday. He has struggled this season, committing four errors and hitting .179 with a home run and eight RBIs in 13 games.
“I don’t think it’s anything too serious,” manager Eric Wedge said before Cleveland’s game at Minnesota on Monday.
Outfielder Shin-Soo Choo was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo to take Marte’s roster spot. Choo hit .294 with seven RBIs in 12 games at Buffalo. He hit just .242 in spring training.
Choo was in the lineup against the Twins, batting eighth and playing left field. Casey Blake started at third base in place of Marte.
