Struggling Cleveland offense loses Franmil Reyes for 5-to-7 weeks with internal oblique strain

On Sunday, the Cleveland ball club told reporters that DH Franmil Reyes will be lost for the next five to seven weeks because of an internal oblique strain. Reyes, who initially suffered the injury during a plate appearance on Saturday, was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier on Sunday. The club has purchased the contract of infield prospect Owen Miller to take Reyes' place on the active roster. In order to create room for Miller on the 40-man, catcher Roberto Perez (finger surgery) was transferred to the 60-day IL. Miller figures to get some time at DH during Reyes' lengthy absence.
